Help the Survivors of Jamil Al-Masry's Family

Organizer: My name is Nicole Trinidad and I am an activist, journalist, and artist in the USA. I am connected to several artists in different countries (like Congo, Palestine, Philippines, etc) that are affected by ongoing social turmoil and political strife. I interview them for journalism articles and in doing so realize I am often the only person they know who might be able to help. So, I raise funds for these artists and students full-time. To verify me as the organizer, please visit trinidadescobar.com and my social media @iamseavenom, thank you.

Beneficiary:

(pictured: Maysoon, Ahmed's martyred mother, and Ahmed)

Ahmed is from Rafah, Palestine. He currently works for a medical equipment company in Saudi Arabia. He is the only family member from his family who lives outside of Pale/stine. I am saddened to share that Ahmed's father, mother, brother, two sisters, and his sister's children, all died from an air/strike. Already displaced and their first home destroyed, Jamil and Maysoon, Ahmed's parents, perished with many family members inside their final home.

Ahmed has an incredible task ahead. He has to help feed and care for his surviving family members from afar, register them for evacuation, and make the necessary preparations for them to live with him until they can return to their homeland and rebuild their lives together one day.

The remaining living nephews:

Jamil Muhammad Jamil Al-Masry

Youssef Muhammad Jamil Al-Masry

Khalil Muhammad Jamil Al-Masry

Tariq Muhammad Jamil Al-Masry is in Türkiye for treatment and is in a difficult condition

Sherine’s son Al-Ahya

How much are we asking for?

Ahmed is asking for $50,000.

How the funds will be used:

I will transfer the money to Ahmed’s bank account as funds are donated and collected here. Ahmed will take money from the fundraiser in small amounts so that the cash does not freeze in this account for political or electronic reasons. He will register his family members as he collects enough money. He prefers that the children do not have to be split up and can travel together. He will receive 100% of the money.

Breakdown of funds:

$2-$4,000 per child for registration to evacuate into Eg/ypt

$5-8,000 per adult for registration to evacuate into Eg/ypt

At least $5,000 for initial food and medical expenses

At least $10,000 for initial moving costs

We expect that later we will have to increase the goal by at least least $20,000 for initial living costs after finding safe, new homes. Ahmed needs help for the months to come as he cares for his family, traveling back and forth across Turkey, Egypt, and the city where he works.

I asked Ahmed what message he would like to share with the world through his campaign. Unfortunately, his heart is broken and he did not have a lot to say. He only said, “I miss them all very much.”
