Help Family of Three (soon to be four!!!) Evacuate To Safety

I am Katy, and I met Fadda, and her beautiful family, several months ago. In the short time we've known one another we have become like family. I am sponsoring their go fund from Honolulu, Hawai'i, and will be ensuring that all donations go to the evacuation of this little family of three (soon to be four!!!). In 'Olelo Hawai'i, the word for family is Ohana.

"Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind, or forgotten."

Funds raised will be used to evacuate Fadda, Ezz, and Lujain from Gaza to Egypt. The cost to evacuate the entire family ranges from $12,500 - $19,000, and we are aiming for $22,000 to account for possible increased travel costs, and post evacuation support. Once in Egypt this little family will need continued support to set up a home.

Below is Fadda's story in her own words:

Hello all, I'm Fadda 23 years old from Gaza. I am married to Ezz Eldeen 27 years old. We have a child called Lujain, she is 2 years old, and I am pregnant now. I was hesitate to do this gofundme link, but I am in dire need of your support and help after I lost my warm home and everything I had in this life.

We are a small and lovely family. I am an ambitious student who has dreams, studying law at Palestine university, but unfortunately they destroyed my university, they bombed it and let it be in rubbles. My husband Ezz Eldeen, he is working in electricity field, and lost his work due to this war.

My child Lujain used to play with her toys in peace and love , but unfortunately she lost them due to the war and instead of playing with her toys , she is living in the street in a tent. She is playing with sand!

Since the war began in October, life has changed a lot. I was 7 months pregnant because of the war I lost the baby. Now I am pregnant again, and the fear that I will lose this baby too. I am here and still living till now, but I want my baby to get to the chance to live!!
