Help Dr. Baraa and her little sister escape Rafah

Dr. Baraa and her family urgently need your kind assistance. Before the war erupted in Gaza on October 7th, Baraa, her parents, her three sisters, along with their brother, lived peacefully.

Baraa, a recent dentistry graduate, comes from a family deeply dedicated to education and service.

Her mother, a science teacher for the past two decades, and her father, an engineer, invested their lives in educating their children.

Her father had used all his savings to build a new home, tragically destroyed in the conflict.

Sama, one of Baraa's sisters, only 13 years old, is unable to attend school amidst the current turmoil.

Alaa, Mohammed, and Najaa, respectively a software engineer, civil engineer, and medical doctor, find themselves unemployed and grappling with the harsh realities of life in Gaza, with little hope for the future.

Currently residing in a perilous zone, the family faces dire circumstances daily. Displacement has become their reality, with securing essentials such as water, food, and medication proving to be a constant struggle. There are nights when they endure hunger, unable to afford even the most basic sustenance.

Below message is from Baraa:

My name is Baraa, and I am a recent dentistry graduate. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, urgently seeking your support to help me and my family escape the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Since the war started, we have been trapped in a nightmare, surrounded by unspeakable violence and devastation. The situation in Gaza is beyond comprehension, and I find myself with no choice but to turn to you for assistance. My hands are tied, and this fundraising effort is our only hope for survival.

My family is currently living in a perilous zone, facing catastrophic circumstances every single day. We are running out of the most basic necessities for a decent and humane life – clean water, food, electricity, and shelter. The once vibrant community we knew has been reduced to rubble, leaving us in a constant state of fear and uncertainty.

We used to have a life filled with hope and promise. We worked tirelessly for years to build and decorate our beautiful home, only to see it destroyed before our eyes. Along with our home, we have lost all of our savings, leaving us with nothing to fall back on.

But the true tragedy lies in the daily struggle for survival that my family faces. Displacement has become our reality, and finding essentials like water, food, and medications has become a daily battle. There are nights when we go to bed hungry, unable to afford even the most basic sustenance. The scarcity of essential items in Gaza has driven prices to unimaginable heights, making it nearly impossible for us to afford what little is available.

Our plight goes beyond the loss of material possessions – we are now without any source of income, left to fend for ourselves in a war-torn landscape. We are desperately seeking your help and support, as our need is truly urgent.

With your assistance, we can escape the horrors of war and begin to rebuild our shattered lives.

With your assistance, we can escape the horrors of war and begin to rebuild our shattered lives. The purpose of this campaign is twofold: to evacuate my family from Gaza and provide a seed fund to restart our lives in Egypt until we can secure a new income. Additionally, some of the money will help me cover the costs of doing my medical residency which I couldn't do due to war.

Here's a breakdown of costs:

Total goal: $36,840.25 USD

Evacuation costs: $5,000 USD per adult and $2,500 USD per child (totaling $32,500 USD for 6 adults and 1 child)

$3,000 USD to cover living costs for 2 months post-evacuation

$1,340 USD for residency fees for Baraa.

The organizer, a family friend residing in Canada, will transfer the funds to a cousin in Cairo who will assist in organizing the evacuation.
