Help Hamada's Family Build a Safe Future

Hello! My name is Scooter Rothman, I live in Wisconsin and I'm helping to raise funds on behalf of Hamada Shakhsa, his twin brother Mohammed, and the rest of their family. I have had the pleasure of speaking with him personally and can vouch for the authenticity of this campaign.

Hamada would like to share his story with you:

"My name is Hamada, I am 21 years old from Gaza. I live a normal life just like you, until suddenly the day came, it wasn't like that anymore. My house was suddenly attacked by a missile, destroying everything we owned in a split second. Everything has turned to smoke, and now we have nothing left. My family and I became refugees and were asked to move from Shujaiya to the southern side, a place called Deir al-Balah, but we were still bombed day and night. It has been 10 months now, they are barely getting food, and there are no job opportunities. Yesterday I was in my third year at university studying, hoping to become what I dreamed of, information technology, and today I am forced to fight for survival. In addition to that, I belong to a family of 8 members, and my sister is in our care and she has 7 children and her husband is missing due to the war. Because we had nothing left, I turned to this organization to help me and my family travel and continue my life and education outside"

Hamada and Mohammed initially had a different campaign set up, but are now unable to access it. As you can imagine, this put a huge dent in both their progress towards safety and their spirits.

He is trying to evacuate seven people, but has asked me to start the campaign at $20,000. These funds will go towards getting his family out of Gaza to safety, as well as covering basic needs like food and water while they are still there.

Giving is hard these days, and I sincerely thank you for your help. Let's give Hamada and his family hope for a kinder future!
