Help Mayess & her family evacuate Gaza & rebuild their lives

Donation protected

Hello, I am Mayess, and I'm honored to share my story with you – a narrative of resilience, creativity, and hope amidst adversity. As a talented mother from Gaza, I carved out a distinctive niche in the realm of sugar confections, channeling my passion for creativity into the artistry of cake design.

For many years, I dedicated myself to crafting numerous exquisite designs for all kinds of joyous occasions at a prominent firm in Gaza. Each cake I meticulously created was not just a confectionery masterpiece but a tangible manifestation of love, joy, and celebration for the individuals and families who entrusted me with their special moments.

However, the advent of war brought a sudden and devastating halt to my cherished aspirations. Like countless others, my husband and I found ourselves grappling with the harsh realities of conflict, as our once-stable sources of income abruptly ceased. The dreams I had nurtured for years were shattered, and we were left with nothing but uncertainty and despair. In the face of such adversity, even the flame of hope within me began to flicker amidst the encroaching darkness.

Yet, amid the chaos and despair, I refused to surrender. Deep within, there still remained a glimmer of light – a beacon of resilience and determination that propelled me forward. It was then that I realized there was an opportunity to forge a new path, a future beyond the confines of our current circumstances. But I knew that I couldn't embark on this journey alone. It required the generous assistance and solidarity of compassionate individuals like you.
After our house was bombed, we were forced to flee to shelter camps. Living in tents, my children and I face harsh conditions, enduring the cold of winter and the scorching sun of summer. Your support can help us rebuild our lives and provide a safer future.

I dream of seeing my project revived, of reclaiming the joy and creativity that once defined my work. As a mother, I implore you to extend your help in any way possible. Together, we can construct a better future for me and my small family – a future filled with hope, opportunity, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

Every donation, regardless of its size, holds great significance in my life. It is more than just a financial contribution; it is a lifeline, granting me the strength and confidence to confront the challenges that lie ahead and to pursue my dreams with unwavering determination. Your support is not just an investment in me; it is an investment in the power of human resilience and the belief that together, we can overcome even the most daunting of obstacles.

I am Mayess, and I firmly believe that together, we can accomplish the impossible. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your unwavering support and solidarity with us.

Through your generosity, we will be able to cover the costs of leaving Gaza for myself and my children, providing us with the opportunity for a fresh start in a safer environment. Additionally, your contributions will enable me to launch a new venture in sugar cake making, which will not only serve as a source of income for me but also reignite my passion for creativity and craftsmanship.

Once again, thank you for believing in me and joining me on this journey toward a brighter future. Your kindness will make a world of difference in our lives, and I am eternally grateful for your unwavering support.










**I am Savannah. I am hosting this fundraiser, as I am in America, where GoFundMe operates. A mutual friend connected me with Mayess’ family and asked for this fundraiser to be set up. No money will go to me at all. All funds will be transferred via bank transfer.
