You’re their best hope, please help Razan & her family

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Mary and I am the organizer for the Zarruq family, who I’ve come to love very much. I can honestly tell you that your donation will truly help this family to survive.

Currently, this family of 6 are separated. Razan (7) who lost her left kidney to cancer, her three sisters Malak (14), Lana (13) and Mariam (2), and Mom are in Egypt.
But sadly Amjad, their Dad, like most men in Gaza, was not granted a visa to travel with them.

Now in Egypt, Mom requires monthly financial support to cover rent, food, medicine, and basic necessities to care for her four daughters. As Egypt does not permit refugees to work.

Amjad continues to fundraise with the goal of securing the necessary funds to evacuate safely to Egypt, as soon as the border crossing re-opens.

Your donations provide a safe haven where Razan can receive medical care, and her family has a chance at stability and recovery.

And Amjad can look forward to being safely reunited with his beloved family, knowing the funds are there to pay for his travel fees.

Our Campaign Objectives:
1. Support family in Egypt, for a minimum of two years, with rent, food, medicine, and basic necessities: $24,000

2. Support Amjad while in Gaza. Risk of illness and skin infections from wastewater and poor food quality has greatly increased. Amjad needs to be able to purchase healthy foods on the open markets, as well as acquire expensive medicine and hygiene products (soap is now $30 US!). And pay for transportation costs when displacement is mandated: $2,000 ($500/mo for 4 months)

3. Evacuate Amjad thru Rafah to Egypt. Current estimated cost for one adult is $8,000

4. Prior survival needs: $10,000 (of the $12,300 raised, as of 8/30/24) has been used to help the family survive in Gaza, as well as in Egypt, for the past 5 months (Apr-Aug).
Expenses included:
- medical care for Razan’s severely compromised immune system while in Gaza
- buying healthy food to support her immune system
- cost of basic needs for the girls
- cost of displacement 3 times
- sustaining the family in Egypt since 6/27/24.

5. Support Razan’s health care: $16,000 minimum

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
