Help Ahmed Jehad and his newborn survive!
Ahmed Jehad (28 years old) is living in a never-ending nightmare. He got married shortly before the onset of the genocide in Gaza, and he has a beautiful young daughter amidst the darkest of times, surrounded by violence and tragedy. Ahmed once lived in a comfortable apartment in Khan Younis, but all that changed when the war began.
Since the conflict erupted, Ahmed and his family have been displaced more than five times, enduring months filled with pain and loss. Just when they thought they found a safe place, the violence would erupt again, forcing them into the unknown once more. Now, they are living in a cramped tent in Deir Al Balah, where the summer heat is unbearable.
"The tent in the summer is extremely hot, and can't stand seeing my daughter suffer. She has developed rashes on her skin due to the heat, and when night falls, it’s almost impossible for her to sleep peacefully. Diseases and insects surround us, and as a family, we live in constant fear."
The situation is nearly intolerable, with the struggle to provide food and basic care becoming a daily challenge. "I can't even secure food for my family or milk for my newborn. We feel hopeless, and our hearts are heavy with worry. We desperately need your assistance to survive until this ordeal ends."
-The costs are skyrocketing, with weekly expenses (food, diapers, milk) reaching up to CAD $700, while evacuation costs per person amount to CAD $6,900.
Ahmed is grateful for all the support they receive, but he knows he needs more than just moral support. "We now need actions. We have heard the chants of 'Free Palestine,' and now we need your help to keep us alive.
I am Ashika Jaffar, living in Canada, and I am running this campaign to raise funds for Ahmed and his family. I will transfer the donations to his Palestinian bank account after receiving them.
Let us unite to be a lifeline for those who are suffering. Thank you all so much, and may God bless you. Together, we can restore the hope that they have lost.
