Help a 23 year old keep his family of 7 alive!

Recipient Information:

My name is Aaed from Gaza. I am 23 years old and take care of my family of 7 people. My family and I live in very difficult conditions in a tent with no mattresses. We are 7 people: dad (51), mother (42), brother (19), and 3 sisters (9, 15, and 16). We have lost everything, including many relatives and friends. We have lost our homes and we have nothing left in this life. We are always exposed to famine and difficulty in providing water and food. Please help me make sure my family survives during this cruel time. I am doing everything I can to help them! I hope you can help me because I need a minimum of $100 to feed my family daily.

Sponsor Information:

Hello, my name is Katheryn Wood and I am a US citizen and 30-year-educator living in N. California. I met and was drawn to Aaed because he is the same age as my own son; I cannot imagine my son having to navigate the horror Aaed is living in every day. If he did, I hope a "Mother" would have mercy on him and not leave him to feel devastated alone. I am now Aaed's 2nd Mother and will do what I can to assist so that he has a chance to survive and realize his dreams someday. I have video-chatted with Aaed and have gotten to know him on a personal level to provide much needed encouragement. We text daily, despite inconsistent and expensive internet, and I have confirmed his location via GPS. He trudges 2.5 km (an hour each way through dangerous debris) daily to be able to access the internet to talk to me and, hopefully, purchase a meager amount of rice and vegetables to bring back to his family. He walks in an old pair of Nike's with no socks. I recently bought him two pairs of socks to protect his feet. 1 pair socks = $35. The prices are insanely high...$70 for two pairs of white ankle socks (I have pictures). That's almost the amount of daily food for his family of 7. Please help me help a family in a tangible, meaningful way. We are their only source of money to buy food. The $100/daily includes rice, vegetables, and a small amount of bread, but no meat. A daily meal with meat costs $200 for 7. If it matters, I do have Aaed's full name, but am not posting it here. Thank you for your generous spirit--please lean in if you are able! ❤️✌
