Please Help Amal’s children evacuate from dying in Gaza.

Amal and her family are in need of donations for them to afford evacuation, basic necessities for survival, and the reestablishment of their lives. Amal lives with her husband, Awadallah, and their three sons, Uday(5), Amr(4), and Shukri(under 1 year old). They are now in Rafah, displaced from their happy home in Khan Yunis. Amal is a teacher, who lost her school to the destruction of the occupying forces. Uday and Amr can no longer enjoy childhood or attend school. Seven month old Shukri can not stand due to malnutrition- he has not been able to thrive under these conditions.

The family of five currently share a tent, where they are met with inhumane, uncomfortable, and fatal conditions. Extreme heat, constant bombing, swarms of flies and mosquitos, starvation, dehydration, exhaustion, fatigue, destruction, and loss, is their new reality. Help them reach their goal, so they can evacuate and receive proper care. They deserve to live peacefully.The evacuation fee to travel from Gaza to Egypt is $5,000 per adult, and 2,500 per child. That is $17,500 needed for evacuation alone, all while the family has no means of income. The rest of the fundraiser proceeds are necessary for them to afford current means of survival, and to begin establishing their lives again after evacuation.

Travel and application expenses:

- Notary and translation fees for required documents (approx. $800 total)

- Application fees for 5 people ($100/person, $500 total)

- The stay in Cairo for 3-4 weeks waiting for paperwork (est. $1,500)

- Biometrics fees in Cairo (mandatory for adults) ($170 per family, $170 total)

- Ya Hala travel agency to get them out of Gaza. (est. $5,000/adult x 2, $2,500/child x 3, $17,500 total)

Total - $25,970

A particularly painful consequence of the ongoing war has been the disruption of education for the children in our family. Schools have become inaccessible, and the once routine structure of learning and development has been shattered, leaving their futures uncertain. The opportunity to move represents more than just safety; it’s a chance for these young minds to return to their studies, to grow and explore their potential in a stable environment, something that’s been painfully out of reach here.

The urgency of our situation cannot be overstated. With tensions escalating and the threat of further escalations in Rafah looming, I am desperate to relocate my family to safety before it’s too late. This appeal for help is not made lightly; it is a plea for compassion and assistance in our time of dire need.

Your support would enable us to cover the essential costs of our journey and resettlement. It’s not just a donation; it’s a lifeline, offering us a chance at a new life away from the fear and uncertainty that has clouded our existence for too long. It’s an investment in the future of our children, providing them with the educational opportunities they desperately need and deserve.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts
