Help me, help Aya's Family Survive

Donation protected
UPDATE:
UPDATE: We are at a critical moment, we are running out of time and anyone with a phone or tv can see that. Please do your part for humanity, please see this family as I know them, pure love. Please help save their lives.

Update 1 - We have been able to raise enough to secure crossing for my friends first sibling! He crossed over to Egypt this week.
While he was thanking me for helping with this effort, I was thinking no, they don't have to thank us, WE owe them our attention after they have been abandoned by most, for over 75 years.

We know now, we are doing better, ALL of us must do better because if they want to leave to survive it's up to us to help them.

Dollars add up...no amount is too small, take action, please.

My name is Felice, I live in Fairfield, CT and I am raising money to help my very dear friend Aya rescue her family. Aya, her husband, and son Jimmy (he turns 2 July 4th) are outside of Palest*ne but her beloved parents, brothers and sister are still there, under unfathomable conditions. Conditions we could not imagine and that are inhumane. This family lived in a beautiful house facing the sea and lived comfortably by G@zas standards however there house is gone and they have had to move again recently from the shelter Aya speaks of below and are now still looking for a tented area to rent.

I cannot ever possibly explain how they have been just trying to survive amongst destruction and death surrounding them. The majority of those killed are women and children and they are innocent. The world was led to believe something extremely different and false about the majority of people from this region.

Aya's family has managed to stay together and we are hoping to get her sister our first and then follow on with her other siblings and then parents. We have a residence lined up in E*ypt which is where they will cross to and then start their healing process from the trauma they are enduring that I will also be arranging. Please help me save their lives, that is what it has come to. Over 30,000 people have been m*rdered and over 12,000 are children. I will never be the same after what I have been witnessing however I have also been witnessing compassion and empathy on a scale the world would not deem possible. Please open your hearts to my friend.

Below is a note from Aya. I ask that you dig deep within your compassion and help save their lives by donating. There is no other way for them other than us to help. Whether you donate $5 or more we both greatly appreciate it and are filled with gratitude with each donation. Aya is tormented over the lives of her parents and siblings hungry, cold and homeless. As you can see from the photo, this is a beautiful happy family that believes in love and kindness that I have witnessed first hand.

I could write a long story about our friendship but I will leave that for another day, read Aya’s plea even if it’s just to get to know the innocent people of G@zas story.
Thank you with all my heart. Felice

Hello dear friends and compassionate strangers,

I am Aya Salem, a soul from G@za and currently living outside of it, reaching out to you with a plea for my family's survival.

Once, life was simple and beautiful in G@za, surrounded by the warmth of my family, siblings, mother, and father. Laughter echoed within the walls of our home.

Today, I share with you the harsh reality my family faces. They escaped their home in G@za almost three months ago, enduring the horrors of bombings, fire, and unimaginable destruction. Now, they sleep in a place in Raf@h city that is both dire and inhumane after the ruins of their home.

My parents toiled tirelessly to craft a dignified life for us.. they all nurtured dreams. Ehab, my brother, a civil engineer, Doaa, my sister, studied journalism, and Mohammed, my younger brother, poised to complete his high school studies this year, aspiring to delve into the world of programming. Yet, the ravages of war have thwarted his educational journey in G@za, a place that has become inhospitable for living and stability.

Two years ago, I left G@za, and since then, my first child, Jimmy, hasn't had the chance to meet his grandparents, uncles, aunts, and extended family.. my family has lost everything, and all I have left is a plea for help to reunite Jimmy with his extended family.

Escape from G@za demands a staggering $8,000- $10,000 per person, a sum dictated by Egypti@n authorities to permit passage to Egy*t. We aren’t asking for luxuries, only a chance at survival. I humbly implore your assistance, no matter the size of the contribution. Rest assured, your support will be a beacon of hope, rescuing an entire family from the clutches of despair and imminent danger.

Thank you for considering our plea.

Sincerely,

Aya
