Help Walaa and her 4 young children survive in Gaza

Walaa is the mother of 4 young children, including a baby boy born in April. Gaza is considered "the world's most dangerous area for children." It is difficult to find healthcare, fresh food and clean water. Trash, diseases, and rubble fill the streets. It is a struggle to even find diapers or milk for the baby, Jawad.

Please imagine yourself as a mother in these conditions, and what you would want the world to do so that your children could survive.

Currently, the family is living in a tent, and facing the prospect of spending the winter outside, unless they can raise $700-$1000/month to pay for rent.

Donations go directly towards funding this family's survival—to help them buy children's clothes, food, and shelter.

After the war

After the war the family wishes to find a safer place to live, and would like to continue to raise money to help them pay for border crossing fees and resettlement. The cost of each border crossing visa is $2500 per child, and $5000 per adult. They will need $20,000 to pay for the family's evacuation. The extra $30,000 included in this fundraiser is to help pay for the ongoing costs of survival for the family. Food and water can cost around $1000/month. Displacements can cost the family up to $2000 to pay for transportation by car and new shelter. Milk and diapers for Jawad is $300/month. This is just an example of the high costs of living for the family at the moment, and they are relying on donations for their income and survival. In addition, the family purchased birthing supplies and milk when Walaa gave birth ($2000), they will need transportation costs to the border crossing and to Egypt (fluctuates, probably between $1000-$2000), site fees for GoFundMe ($1000), and the remaining $10,000 will help them find an apartment and pay for food and furniture when they reach Egypt, until they are able to regain financial stability. We pray they are able to make it this far.

Please donate as much as you can to help this family. These children deserve to live and go to school just like any other child in the world.
