Help my family survive the war in Gaza

Donation protected
Dear friends and loved ones. Asking for help is never easy. It requires a vulnerability that many find uncomfortable, a humility that challenges our pride. Yet, there are moments when the agony of watching your family suffer outweighs the burden of swallowing your pride. In those moments, when every heartbeat echoes the pain of those you love, the choice becomes clear: to ask for help or to watch in silent despair.
My brother Karam Ishtaiwi and I, are reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a plea for an urgent help for our family whom their lives, homes, dreams were destroyed and they were displaced from northern Gaza to southern part of Gaza. Starting with my dad to my youngest nieces and nephews are 69 family members. Every family member of them holds a unique significance. Each child, woman, or elderly relative represents a world of memories, a bond that transcends time and distance. Their smiles, their tears, their presence - each one a precious piece of the puzzle that forms the foundation of who we are.
The shadows of war descended, tearing apart their world and leaving them displaced, forced to flee to the south, leaving behind all they held dear to find themselves without shelter, proper food, or even basic medical care. Their once vibrant lives have been reduced to mere survival, each day a struggle against the ravages of conflict.
With your support, we aim to raise funds to provide a lifeline for those who mean the world to us. Your contributions will help us evacuate some family members from Gaza to Egypt, ensuring their safety, while also providing essential food and medical necessities to sustain those left behind.
Join us in this humanitarian mission to offer a ray of light in their darkest hour. Together, we can make a difference and show that compassion knows no borders, that humanity prevails even in times of turmoil.

Your donation, no matter how small, will go a long way in bringing relief and hope to our family as they navigate the challenges of displacement and war. Let's stand together and be the beacon of hope they desperately need.
Thank you for your generosity and kindness. With your support, we can rewrite this family's story from one of despair to one of resilience and hope.

Love,
Donate
