Help Mahmoud and his family escape Gaza & continue education

Donation protected

Help Mahmoud Jehad and his family to leave Gaza to study and escape the Gaza war .


My name is Mahmoud Jehad, and I am a 21-year-old from Gaza. Like many others, my life was turned upside down due to the ongoing conflict in my homeland. I am currently displaced in Deir al-Balah after my home in Khan Yunis was completely destroyed along with my entire city.


Before the war, I was a student pursuing a degree in Information Technology at Gaza University. I had dreams and aspirations, but everything changed when the university was bombed and all classes were suspended. Additionally, the airstrikes not only ravaged my home but also destroyed my personal computer, which I relied on for my studies and staying connected with the world.


Now, I am living in a makeshift tent in a displacement camp, with nothing but a thin layer of fabric to protect me from the elements. The situation is dire, as my father is sick and my brother is undergoing treatment, leaving me to care for my family while struggling with my own challenges. We have been without water, electricity, and access to healthy food for the past 10 months. I feel a deep responsibility to support my family and help rebuild our home in Khan Yunis, even though we currently reside in the makeshift tent community.


Despite these hardships, I refuse to give up on my education and future. I believe knowledge is the key to rebuilding not only my life but also my community. Unfortunately, I lack the resources to continue my studies outside of Gaza, where I could access better educational opportunities and safety.


I have created this GoFundMe campaign to seek your support. Your generous donations will assist me in leaving Gaza to pursue my education, enabling me to acquire the skills necessary to help my family and our home in Khan Yunis recover from the devastation we have faced.


Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in my life. Your kindness can help me turn my dreams into reality and bring hope to a shattered future.


Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for your support. Together, we can make a difference.


With gratitude,


I am Renee Hassert, living in USA, and I am running this campaign to raise funds for Mahmoud and his family. I will transfer the donations to his Palestinian bank account after receiving them.
