I am reaching out to you with a pressing and urgent appeal on behalf of my family, who are currently facing dire circumstances amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

My parents suffer from chronic health conditions, with my father battling high blood pressure, diabetes, and neurological disorders, while my mother is afflicted with severe visual impairment and diabetes, among other ailments. Their urgent need for proper medical care and attention cannot be overstated.

Additionally, we are facing acute financial strain due to the loss of income for over ten months as a result of the conflict. This has left us grappling with the stark realities of destitution, struggling to meet even the most basic needs for survival.

Our family consists of: Ten family members including three children.

I humbly request your assistance in facilitating the evacuation of my family from Gaza to ensure their safety and well-being.

Furthermore, I have initiated a GoFundMe to collect donations to support their relocation and provide essential aid during this challenging time.

We have been displaced from our homes since October 12th of the previous year and are currently residing in makeshift shelters on the streets of Rafah. Our living conditions are dire, with inadequate access to clean water, nutritious food, and healthcare.

Your prompt intervention and support in arranging our evacuation and providing essential aid would be greatly appreciated. Our situation is increasingly precarious, and your assistance could mean the difference between life and death for my family.

*********************************************

Our fundraising efforts are aimed at achieving these main objectives:

* Providing essential food and drink items to sustain the family's basic needs, as they are currently unable to work due to the challenging economic situation exacerbated by the blockade and conflict in Gaza.

* Facilitating the safe travel of five family members through the Rafah crossing to Egypt, in coordination with the Egyptian Hala Company. The cost of travel and evacuation for each individual amounts to $8,000 USD Urgently , totaling $80,000 USD for all ten family members.

in addition to paying expenses such as renting an apartment in Egypt for one month, the average is 1000$ per 10 member . We think we will pay a one year rent = 10,000$ in total

This is because my family lost all their property due to this aggression and they came out from under the rubble.

in addition to that the GoFundMe transaction fee is 3 % that equals = 3000$, Also 3% fees for cash = 3000$.

Any additional funds will include the medical requirements of my parents, my mum was injured as a result of the bombing of our house and my dad is sick, he has health issues in his heart, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

remains unwavering.

In 2021, I initiated the Motarazat Brand Project—an endeavor that showcases Palestinian-Ghazawi embroideries in a contemporary light, blending traditional patterns with vibrant colors and innovative designs.

Our mission is to fortify Palestinian heritage while introducing fresh concepts that can be seamlessly integrated into modern attire, thereby endorsing local craftsmanship and bolstering the Gazawi product market.

Marketing primarily through Instagram under the handle @motarazat_gaza, we were met with a devastating blow during the October 7 conflict, which left our inventory destroyed in warehouses in northern Gaza, resulting in a loss of nearly $20,000, i will add it to my target when i hit evacuation cost.

On March 3rd, I narrowly escaped a fatal incident, finding myself buried under rubble due to the indiscriminate violence of the occupation forces. Miraculously surviving with injuries, my family and I now face dire circumstances and require immediate assistance.

Despite the oppressive circumstances imposed by the Israeli occupation, I refuse to relinquish my dreams for a brighter future. With your compassionate support and generosity, we can rebuild from the ashes. Every contribution, regardless of size, holds the power to transform lives.

I urge you not to overlook our plea for help. Your solidarity can serve as a beacon of hope, illustrating humanity's resilience in the face of adversity. Together, let us forge a path towards a future defined by hope and freedom.
