Help Alaa and other displaced people in Palestine

Howdy y’all, I’m Gilly Shine (they/them), and I live in Greeley Colorado! Alaa reached out to me asking for help, and I’m doing my best to help his family get the supplies they need! Help me help them!

Alaa is asking for funds to purchase food, water, and better living conditions for his father and mother (Rehab and Diaa), his sister who is battling cancer (Dalia), his wife and son (Bushra and Sari), and their adopted child (Fayek).

In Alaa’s words,

“I ask the whole world to protect us from this genocide. It has no mercy on infants, it has no mercy on the elderly, it has no mercy on women and it has no mercy on young people. Please protect us, stand by us. We do not get food here. Everything has become bad. A dark world and an unknown road. We do not know where we will go. We are sleeping on the sidewalks. The streets are exposed to bombing, death, and cold, to all kinds of death. I ask you to stand with us.

I want to provide for them. But what do I say when I don’t have income because the Israelis have strangled the life out of Gaza?”
