Help Hayam and her Family Escape the Genocide

My name is Hayam Taha. I’m a 26 year old Palestinian pharmacist from Gaza. The number of wars I have survived during these 26 years is beyond anyone’s imagination.

Right after my graduation 3 years ago my older sister opened a pharmacy, Al-Kamal Central Pharmacy, marking the greatest achievement of our careers. This pharmacy was more than just a business, it was a place for our people—regardless of their financial situation—to access healthcare and support. I have been seeking a master’s degree outside of Gaza, waiting for an opportunity to further my studies, but since October 7th Israel destroyed any opportunity I have ever dreamed of.

Israeli soldiers bombed our pharmacy and ruined our sleepless efforts day and night to offer a place for the people. The massacre hasn’t stopped since then. Now my family and I are staying in a tent on the streets of Rafah with no healthcare, no beds and no guarantee if we’re going to live another day or not. We have nothing but hope to survive.

It has always been hard for us Gazans to reach what we truly desire, even before Gaza faced this crazy genocide! Nevertheless, I still seek the opportunity I've been waiting for. There’s no way of rebuilding Gaza to make it livable again within the next 20 years, forcing us to restart our lives outside Gaza for now. I only need help to get me and my family outside Gaza now to continue our careers as pharmacists.

The money will be used to let us evacuate Gaza and cross Egypt border which needs more than $6000 per person to cross and survive with our lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who Is Michael Jordan?

Hayam's Irish friend whose European bank account satisfies GoFundMe requirements. He will collect the funds then transfer to our relatives in Egypt for evacuation fees.

What Will Be Done With The Funds?

We'll withdraw $6,000 at a time to cover evacuation fees via international bank transfer to a trusted contact in Egypt for practicality reasons, due to the lack of cash and the difficulties of transferring money to bank accounts in Gaza city. This trusted contact will then pay the Ya Halla Company with cash in Egypt.

Why Is The Amount High?

To evacuate one person from Gaza to Egypt, we need $5,000 per individual for liaison services with Ya Halla Company. With 5 members, it totals $25,000. The remaining amount covers transportation, medication and food (due to inflation) and transaction fees, with any surplus aiding those in need.
