Help my family survive outside of Gaza

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Jwana Rostom, I’m a 15 years old foreign exchange student from Gaza, Palestine, currently residing in Wisconsin, USA. I am reaching out to share a deeply personal and urgent matter. My family, composed of my four sisters (Nazar Rostom, Yasmine Rostom, Diana Rostum, and Judy Rostom), my father Khalid Rostum, and my mother Rania Rostom, are currently living in Egypt after getting out of Gaza and suffering in it for 4 months and a half.

As the conflict escalated, my family was forced to evacuate our home in Northern Gaza, seeking refuge in the South of Gaza. by this fundraiser I helped them to get out of Gaza but they are still in need of important supplies.

The situation is dependent, and I am seeking support to help my family start another life in Egypt. The cost of leaving Egypt cost more than 30 thousand dollars, even though I’m so thankful of the 25 thousand dollars that we raised but still in need to pay the money that we borrowed back and continue setting up the life in Egypt. Unfortunately, given our current circumstances and living situation, neither I nor my family can bear this financial burden alone. Any and all contributions you can make will go a long way in helping me secure a life and setting it up for my family. Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering and supporting this cause.
Please keep praying, sharing and donating. I appreciate you all, thank you!

PS: I’m going to get my cousin’s help (Dalia) to transfer the money to my family directly to Egypt because I’m not a citizen in America.

Below, I've attached pictures my family sent me of how our house looked in the North the last time they saw it over a month ago and the bombing around it.
