Support Mahmoud's Family in Gaza Crisis

Hello, my name is Casey, and I am trying to help fundraise for my friend Mahmoud and his family.

Mahmoud al-Gandour is just 20 years old. He is a university student from Gaza. He was studying to become a software and database engineer, as well as working a job to help support his family, until the war suddenly disrupted their lives and destroyed their home. When his father passed away, Mahmoud stepped up to take responsibility for his family of 6. They are currently living in a tent that is unsuitable for living. So many Gazans including Mahmoud and his family are facing unfair and inhumane living conditions, and they are counting on our help to stay afloat during these horrific, violent times.

Mahmoud has two twin brothers who are currently missing out on their university studies due to the violence and bombings. His little sister and brother are also being deprived of their schooling right now.

“We live in fear and no one feels for us. We are human beings like everyone else in the world and we die a thousand times a day.”

That’s a heartbreaking quote from Mahmoud when I asked him to share how he currently feels. The whole system is failing Palestinians including Mahmoud, but we don’t have to fail him. I urge all decent and honest people of the world to engage in direct mutual aid to help support Palestinians like Mahmoud, to show him that we have not forgotten about him, and we do not condone his suffering. Let’s come together to show Mahmoud that our hearts are with him all across the world.

Mahmoud and his siblings are so young, and they want nothing more than to live their lives like everybody else. They don't deserve this pain and suffering. It's on us all to help relieve them of the financial burdens of survival. Funds will go directly towards supplies like food and shelter to help support the displaced family.
