Help a Palestinian Family Find Stability in Seattle

My family (myself, my wife, and son) recently were forced to flee our home in the West Bank due to escalating violence from the Israeli Defense Force. Many of our friends and family had their homes destroyed by the Israeli Defense Force to make room for Israeli settlements. Fearing violence and death, we fled to Seattle with our two-year-old son in hopes of giving him a better life. We've faced many difficulties since we arrived, and have moved six times in just two months. We suffered a lot to find someone that can rent us because we do not have credit scores or rental history here as we just arrived. Finally, we found someone that would rent to us. Our asylum paperwork to get work permits is delayed, and it is very hard to find a job without work permit. We are very happy that we found a home to live together as a family, and we don’t want to lose this home and all the stability it has brought our son. We need your help in raising money for rent and bills until our work permits are processed. Moving several times negatively impacted our son, and we don't want to be out on the street. I hope you can stand with us and we will never forget your kindness.

Note: Kayla is organizing this fundraiser, but all proceeds go to the family, who I met through a mutual aid group in Seattle. The funds raised will go directly into the family's bank account.
