From death to life; evacuate my family from Gaza
Donation protected
Hi- my name is Shaye - I have been friends with Khalil and his family in Gaza for around 2 years. I am humbled to be able to try and help him and his family. Please if you cannot donate financially, please keep Khalil and his family in your prayers.
All funds donated will be going directly to Khalil via bank transfer. I am working with both my local and larger banks to make the best choice to get him the money with the least amount of fees safely. I will be fully transparent during that process.
I’m just going to give the floor to Khalil….nothing I can say can even begin to address his experiences as of late.
Here is a message from Khalil:
With a heavy heart, I start this fundraising. I have exhausted all available solutions to evacuate my family from Gaza. The only way is to begin a fundraising which can help in this crisis. Here is my story that I am reaching out to share hoping to emerged from Gaza by your assist we can move from death to life.
Hello everyone, I’m Khalil Adel, an engineer from Gaza Strip. I am from family consist of 12 members. I’m still alive after 3 wars and 3 escalations of Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Now, we don’t have a home or a shelter to live in; therefore after we have changed our place more than 5 times since the beginning of this war.
In this war, after 130 days of horror, stress, terror, poor, displacement and starvation. my family and I have lost everything (home, clothes, money and work) We are suffering from lack of food, water, medicine, electricity. As a result, we become homeless emigrants because of the tower we lived in was bombed and by miraculously we ran down in time, barely escaping death. My aunts were killed and 15 of my relatives and neighbors. Now we are living in a tent where the situation is disastrous. Biting cold stealing away our head and relentless rain seeps into the tent and we had sunk (flooded) many times. Also the drain had been filling the street so it caused pollution(sewage) and digestive problems and many diseases and epidemics. We can’t sleep due to voice of continued bombing. Each night becomes a battle.
Our dream is for reconstructing lives, creating opportunities for work and study and establishing a foundation for a bright future.
Rebuild broken souls and dreams. Reaffirming our belief in ability The only solution is to remove my family for a quiet, safe place.
It’s worth mentioning that my parents suffer from chronic diseases. My mom’s health has deteriorated and she is hardly walking now. My father also needs to treated abroad but the hospital now is full by wounded people and martyrs so medical care is non-existent. We difficultly obtain medication for the most simple illness case we face.
In addition, I have a six- month baby who had no sin to live in a terror zone and be a victim. Not enough food, no diapers. He is crying all time fearing from the continued sounds of bombs without stopping any moment .
I am afraid to lose him and my family every moment here. Every second feels me in inability, weakness and horror and so I can’t endure this harsh reality. Moreover, my brother and sisters have lost their studies and jobs; their dreams and ambitions were destroyed.
We have become hopeless people. Our presence in Gaza puts our lives in danger. There is no words to describe the extent of suffering my family. Future in Gaza is unknown due to the destruction of schools and universities.
Here is where your contribution will go:
-Processing fee of $10,000 per person,for transportation, for evacuation fee at the Egyptian border. (120,000$ USD for 12 members)
-rent homes for 4 months(350 USD * 4= 1400 USD ),
• Health care and medical expense for elderly parents , and adults till they are able to find jobs : 50 USD per month * 12 family members , 2400$ for 4 months.
• Living essentials like food , clothes vouchers : 10000 USD for the next 4 months
Every small support and contribution from you, could save a part of a human soul. So stand with me to save my family and evacuate them to a safe area. Please share my story to anyone may help and make it possible to help my family. We are in deep new to feel the life again without circumstances filled with fear, despair and death.
