‏Help Bring My Autistic Brother Safely out of Gaza

Donation protected

Dear Friends,

I am a final year medical student in Egypt, and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for help.
While I strive to fulfill my dreams of becoming a healer, my thoughts are consumed by the safety and well-being of my family. My family, consisting of seven members, including an autistic and non-verbal child, is currently trapped in the North of Gaza amidst the relentless bombardments and violence that have surrounded the region.






Every day, they face unimaginable horrors, the constant fear of airstrikes, the scarcity of food and clean water, and the inability to access essential medical care. My mother and my autistic brother are particularly vulnerable, with my brother's condition amplifying the fear and confusion he experiences during this difficult time.

As I write this, my family :

My father Hatem An English teacher in High school .

My Mother Azza A teacher in elementary school .

Mohamed who is a software engineer who lost his job because of this war .

Dana software engineering student who just started university last year and now her University is a pile of rubble .

Hala in her last year as student , the war stoped it .

Omar who is the twin brother for ahmed and his big strong brother .

is surrounded by chaos, with no means of escape. They have fallen ill multiple times due to drinking contaminated water, and the lack of access to medication only adds to their suffering. It breaks my heart to know that they are enduring such hardship, especially my dear brother, who struggles to comprehend the terrifying reality around him.



I refuse to stand still while my loved ones suffer. That's why I am reaching out to you, our global community, for support. We urgently need funds to secure a paid crossing permit that will allow my mother and my autistic brother to escape the horrors of Gaza and seek refuge in Egypt, where they will be safe from the constant threat of violence.



Our immediate goal is to get my mother and my brother out first, and once we reach our target fund, we will continue to accept donations to assist the rest of my family.



Your donation, no matter how small, will make a world of difference in our quest to bring my family to safety. Every dollar raised will go directly towards securing the necessary permits, transportation, and essential resources to ensure a smooth transition for my family.

Please, if you find it in your heart to help, consider making a contribution to our cause. Your generosity will not only save lives but also provide hope and solace to a family torn apart by conflict and despair.

We will keep you informed through this event on the handling of incoming funds to promote transparency. You can also reach out to us at any time with any concerns you may have about the situation.

Thank you for your compassion and support during this difficult time.

With deepest gratitude,
Abdelrahman Alimari
