Gaza Pharmacist Needs Help to Help Others

This is Ahmed. He is a pharmacist. He used to have a pharmacy in a building in which he lived with his wife, also a pharmacist, and his 6 children. That was before it was bombed. Now he works out of a tent trying to help those who cannot get medical assistance from the overwhelmed field hospitals.

Ahmed is doing the best he can, but he wants to do more. With enough small contributions from pharmacists and those of us who know the importance of a pharmacy, Ahmed could help more people, starting with himself. He would no longer have to sleep in his tent pharmacy, separated from his family, to safeguard the medicines. He would be able to rent a space in one of the buildings that is still standing, minimally furnish it, bring his family to live with him there, acquire medicines and medical equipment, and help more people who are in desperate need of what Ahmed can provide as a pharmacist.

There are so many tragic stories and fundraising campaigns for people in Gaza. This one is yet another, but it is different because what you give will have a ripple effect. You are helping someone who is trying to help others. That is Ahmed. That is why he became a pharmacist. If you are a pharmacist or if you have ever been helped by a pharmacist or pharmacy, then you understand.

Through your donation, you directly impact Ahmed and those he helps in Gaza. Right now this is one of the most important ways any of us can ease some of their suffering.

Thank you on behalf of Ahmed, his family, and all those he serves in Gaza.
