Rescue a Brave Journalist's Family!

Firas lost his parents and siblings in a bombing of his home, targeted for his work as a journalist, and now only his wife, child, and new born baby survive. We must now get them to safety in Egypt! We want to be ready with the funds as soon as the Rafah crossing re-opens. This is an evacuation for one adult and two small children - please help us fund it quickly!

Firas and his new baby, born during the war. Firas also has a wife and another small child who need to be evacuated.

Breakdown of funds:

$5000 for one adult evacuation

$5000 for two children's evacuations

$2000 for fees

Message from Firas:

"My name is Firas Muhammad Fathi Al-Shaer, from Palestine and a resident of the city of Rafah. On 10/20/2023, my home was bombed along with all of my family members, who were tragically martyred: my father, mother, and brothers. I lost everything, and now I am trying to settle in a safe place until this war ends. I just want to live in peace and start all over."

Message from the campaign manager:

Hi, my name is Alondra Mendoza and I am humbly reaching out to you on behalf of Firas Muhammad Fathi Al-Shaer of Palestine. As you have seen, Palestine has been under heavy bombardment beyond any unfathomable measure. Not only was Firas' home destroyed, but his family was tragically martyred as well. Your support will help Firas' wife and children evacuate to Egypt and bring a small glimmer of hope and faith at a time of great loss. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering this cause and for any contribution you can make. All funds will be directly transferred to Firas himself.
