Help Mai and her Mother evacuate from Gaza

UPDATE!! 21st of August 2024

Mai is eternally grateful for all the donations made so far. But we haven't reached our goal of the amount Mai and her mother will need to pay for their evacuation to Egypt, and to cover living costs once the boader is reopened.

This could happen at any time, and we are still fundraising to reach the goal for when it does.

Mai was badly injured in an air strike on her home a month ago, receiving a head injury and further injuries all over her body.

Every day she is at risk of great harm, even death. Not to mention the massive toll the war is having on her mental state.

Thank you for taking the time to read Mai and her mother's story, and for any donation you can make.

My name is Lisa Moorish. I am a recording artist from the UK. I am helping raise funds for my dear friend Mai Hamied, who is just 23 years old. Currently she resides in Gaza with her elderly mother, and she finds herself in dire circumstances. The infrastructure in Gaza has collapsed, leaving them without any means of financial support. To add to Mai's struggles, her mother is battling bowel cancer, and the medical facilities here are unable to provide the necessary treatment due to shortages of medication and the collapse of healthcare services.

Her father has passed away, leaving just her mother and her sister, who is studying medicine in Egypt. Knowing that her sister is alone in Egypt and worrying about what might happen to them

without the means to support themselves is a constant source of fear and anxiety for her family.

Despite graduating from the College of Law, she is unable to provide for my family's needs, and the ongoing conflict in Gaza has left them fearing for their lives. Mai's message here;

'As much as it pains me to admit, we have reached a point where we can no longer stay here safely. Leaving our home is not a decision we take lightly, but it has become a matter of survival.

Turning to crowdfunding is a difficult step for us, as it feels like a blow to our dignity. However, our situation leaves us with no other choice. We humbly appeal to your generosity to help fund our evacuation from Gaza. Your support, no matter how small, will make a world of difference to us. From the depths of our hearts, we express our sincere gratitude for any assistance you can provide. Thank you for your kindness and compassion during these challenging times.'

Please donate what you can or share! Thank you
