Lifeline Aid for Ahmed’s Family & his Newborns in Gaza!

Hello, I’m Júlia from Spain and I have started this fundraiser to help my friend Ahmed and his family: his wife Aseel and their baby twins Yazan and Abed, who are only 5 months old. Ahmed is currently living in a tent in the Deir al-Balah refugee camp in poor conditions and his newborn sons are in hospital with multiple health problems: they suffer from malnutrition, respiratory problems and other health issues that, due to the lack of personal and material means, cannot be diagnosed or properly treated.

The circumstances in the Gaza Strip are desperate and the extreme shortage has caused a situation where basic supplies such as food, diapers, milk or medicines have absolutely prohibitive prices that are impossible to meet for a people who have lost everything.

Additionally, the coming winter will make it necessary for them to get blankets and other supplies in order to protect themselves from the rain and the cold weather, since the conditions in which the displaced population have to live are absolutely precarious.

Consequently, all funds raised through this campaign will be used to provide Ahmed and his family with means of subsistence while the occupation lasts and to help them rebuild their lives with dignity afterwards.

The message from Ahmed:

"Hello, I am Ahmed Ashour. I'm 29 years old from Gaza. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Law, and got married a month before the war started. We were happy to start our lives together until we lost everything. I now live in a tent in the south of Gaza, displaced with my wife and our two newborn twin boys. My wife gave birth to Yazan & Abed just 3 months ago under harsh conditions. Our home was demolished. And, I am also supporting my father, who is disabled and has cancer. Every month we are in need of 15 bottles of milk, 5 diaper bags, medicine for one of my children who is sick and clothes. The prices are very high. We really need help, and I hope you can help us... Any donation can helps us."

The current living situation:

Losing their beloved home:

Life before the war:

"This below is my picture before the war... I am holding a graduation certificate from the Faculty of Law. And a picture with my wife"

"I sold my gold and any valuable belongings I had because of the rising prices, and now we do not know what to do."

New life in midst of Gaza's bombardment:

"These are Yazan & Abed. They are both sick, and we are hoping to keep up with their treatment upon request. They suffer from malnutrition and shortness of breath and we cannot get an accurate diagnosis due to the lack of medical equipments"

Ahmed today finds himself struggling just to keep his family afloat, doing everything he can under constant threat of bombardment and displacement. His family’s future's way forward is through the generosity of others.

Goal & Costs Breakdown of Basic Necessities Needed:

Our goal is to raise 50.000€, which will help sustain Ahmed’s family for 12 months, covering basic necessities like:

Milk (15 bottles per month): $375 USD

Diapers (5 bags per month): $250 USD

Clothes, Shelter and Medicine: $1,000 USD (with additional medicine costs upon request)

Food: $2,250 USD ($25 USD per basic meal for the family)

Total monthly expenses: $3,875 USD

Which is: $46,500

Other expenses / bank fees/ uncertainty under war: $1,500+

Your donations will directly provide the essentials this family needs to survive in an incredibly dire situation. Any amount you can give will make a significant difference in their lives.

Thank you very much for your consideration!
