Please help Adham, his wife and children escape a genocide

Hi, my name is Maddison, I live in the NW of England and wish to share with you the story of this wonderful family; human beings that have done nothing but happen to live in Gaza, and are suffering the most unimaginable, unbearable existence.

Due to restrictions, they are unable to create a crowdfunder for themselves, so I will serve as an intermediary to try to help them achieve their freedom and security, with your help.

In times as dark as these, we must hold on to hope and move forward in full alignment with our values and principles, showing others the compassion and understanding that we, ourselves, also deserve.

Adham has four amazing and precious children, who he is desperate to protect, just as many parents around the country would wish for their own family's; Jana, 9 years old, Ahmed, 7 years old, Lana, 5 years old, and his youngest, Hind, who is just 3 years old.

No child or parent should have to bear witness to all that they are, as a mother of a 7 and 2 year old, my heart cannot fathom how they are coping, but their resilience, courage, kindness and pure humanity is a testament to their hope and faith for a better, safer future, with opportunity rather than the agony that they have felt.

Like so many children around the world, these children have dreams and ambitions, that they should have every right to work and aspire towards. But those freedoms have been taken away, cruelly and catastrophically. They want to continue their lives, their education, and now they dream of sleeping without the worry and fear that they have grown so familiar with.

Jana dreams of being a dentist

Ahmed dreams of being an engineer

Lana cries every day, with her father so worried by the sheer pounding of her heart.

Ahmed's wife studied English at university and dreamed of a career in education, teaching the next generation, fostering hope and potential in the children of Gaza.

Ahmed now simply dreams that he can find people kind enough to help him protect his family, when they have already lost far too many loved ones and seen far too much grief already.

Please help us to help this innocent family find peace, and get closer to sleeping safely, without the fear of bombs and bullets.

That is the least we can truly do, leaning in to our collective humanity - it is what connects us all, no matter where we are around the world. We cannot abandon humanity, when it needs us more than ever.
