Help evacuate Rasha's Family from the Gaza Strip

Dear Friends,

I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a plea for urgent assistance. My name is Rasha Ghabayen, and I am a mother of two beautiful children, Khaled (5 years old) and Ibrahim (3 years old), residing in the Gaza Strip with my husband, Waleed. Our once peaceful life has been shattered by the horrors of war, leaving us with nothing but despair and uncertainty.

The relentless conflict in Gaza has stripped us of our home, our security, and our hope for a better future. We now find ourselves living in dire conditions, surrounded by constant threats to our health and safety. Our makeshift shelter provides little protection against the harsh realities of war, leaving my children vulnerable to illness and suffering.

All I want is to give my children a chance at a life free from fear and suffering. I dream of seeing them grow up healthy, happy, and safe, away from the violence and turmoil that plagues our homeland. But to make this dream a reality, I need your help.

Why We Need Your Support:

The situation in Gaza is dire, with limited options for escape. Egyptian officials demand exorbitant bribes for passage out of the region, making it nearly impossible for families like mine to seek refuge elsewhere. In our case, the officials are asking for a bribe of $5000 per person, totaling $20,000 for our family of four.

Additionally, the costs of relocation, including travel expenses, temporary housing, and resettlement, further escalate the financial burden. We estimate that we will need a total of $30,000 to safely evacuate our family from Gaza and start anew in a safer environment.

How You Can Help:

Your generous contributions can make a world of difference for my family. By donating to our fundraiser, you can help us secure the funds needed to escape the violence and create a better future for our children. Every dollar counts and will be greatly appreciated.

Together, we can give Khaled and Ibrahim the chance they deserve to thrive and flourish in a peaceful and stable environment. Your support will not only save lives but also restore hope and dignity to a family torn apart by conflict.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rasha Ghabayen

_ My house in the Gaza Strip was completely destroyed and I lost all my stuff, all our memories.

The whole area is unfit to live because of the mass destruction.

_ We currently live in a tent that lacks the most basic human element. It's very cold at night, surrounded by bugs and lizards, and my kids keep getting sick all the time.
