Help Ismail survive until Palestine is Free

Hello world, my name is Tali Ilkovitch and I am a musician from Seattle Washington. I am campaigning to support my friend Ismail Alzak, an 18-year old who is working with his brother, 25-year old Mohammad, to support their relatives consisting of 5 families. I first met Ismail online when he reached out asking for help for himself and his family, and has since told me he needs help making a new campaign. My goal is to collect funds and get them to him as quickly as possible, however is easiest for him to receive it depending on his circumstances.

Ismail used to dream of being an engineer, but now he dreams of surviving the genocide and protecting his family. Please help him and his family afford basic necessities while we work together as a global community to Free Palestine! Below are some words from Ismail himself:

"We used to live in the north of the Gaza Strip, in Al-Shuja'iya, but one day, my family and I were displaced to the south of the Gaza Strip, to Khan Yunis, and lived there for two months in the midst of war. One night, surrounded by merciless suffering, tanks and planes bombed us, threatening our lives, so we were forced to move back to the south of the Gaza Strip, to Rafah for a while. Now we have been displaced again to the center of the sector, to Deir al-Balah.

Our house has been destroyed and there is nothing left of our lives except the hope for a future. We have lost many family members and now, living in a tent during the winter and in the shadow of war is suffering beyond description. When the cold wind blows, people only find weak fabric walls to protect their families, and with every drop of rain, water submerges the land that is supposed to be a safe haven. Living in such conditions steals warmth, safety, and sometimes even hope. For us, clothing is an urgent priority, as securing heavy winter clothes becomes a matter of life or death, we desperately need money to survive since providing the simplest necessities becomes a daily challenge, and every cold night turns into a new battle.

Amid rising prices for common goods, unspeakable violence and the suffering of the coming winter, I hope you will support us in these dire circumstances. We need you!

Thank you!"
