Help our family evacuate Gaza and find safety
Donation protected
Dear friends and people of compassion,
We are desperately asking for your assistance. Despite their resilience and relentless optimism for an end to the war, our family in Gaza have made the difficult decision to flee their homeland after four months of constant bombings, violence, and starvation.
Our family was violently displaced from their home in Gaza city and are now living in Khan Younis in a house of 60 people with scarce food, no potable water, and no electricity. Every day is a struggle for survival as they must scavenge for food and wood for cooking while simultaneously being surrounded by tanks and enduring constant bombardment.
We have already suffered the terrible loss of ten family members, including children, to tanks that destroyed their home. We can’t bear to see our family suffer any longer which is why we’ve started this crowdfunding campaign to evacuate them to Egypt for safety and stability.
Unfortunately the cost of escape is more than we can afford so we are relying on your generosity to help our family find some peace. This is for one branch of our family in Gaza, nine people, who are hoping to escape, and the border crossing fees are high.
If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. Your kindness and compassion will not only save our families lives but also restore their chance to live a dignified life.
Cost Breakdown
- Rafah border crossing: 9 people * $6,000 = $54,000
- Passport fees: 9 * $150 = $1,350
- Rent a home: 2 months * $500 = $1,000
- Living expenses: 2 months * $1,500 = $3,000
- GoFundMe fees: $59,350 * 2.9% = $1,721
- Total: $61,071
Thank you from the depths of our hearts for your compassion and generosity during this difficult time.
With utmost appreciation,
