Help a family survive!

See update below!

Hi, my name is Lana and I live in Canada. As we start Ramadan this year, I wanted to extend any help I can to those who need it most- the people of Gaza! Below is Diab’s story and all about him and his family. This go fund me is created to help raise money to help them exit the disastrous situation they’re in and get to safety.

I am Diab Hussein, a resident of Gaza, where my community and I have been enduring the harsh realities of the war in Gaza for over 150 days. The ongoing situation has disrupted every aspect of our lives, leaving us in a state of uncertainty and desperation.

The war has forced me to halt my studies, putting my future and career on hold indefinitely, and it’s so hard to say this now but only 6 months were left for me to graduate and be a dentist, things isn’t so much better for Dena ,my little sister, who’s in her 4th year in medicine college. My family has faced unimaginable challenges, including our miraculous survival from death multiple times. We have been displaced five times, each time seeking refuge in different places, only to face the exorbitant cost of rent and the difficulty of finding suitable accommodation.

The general situation in Gaza is dire, with high prices making basic necessities unaffordable for many. The lack of humanitarian and health services further compounds our difficulties, leaving us struggling to survive. I am reaching out for your support during this challenging time to get out here with my family but this will cost 5000$ for each person, so for an eight member family like ours it will cost 40000$ .

Your donations will help me and my family meet our basic needs, including shelter, food, and medical care and continue our studies outside Gaza.

UPDATE:

Dear Donors,

I want to thank you all once again for your incredible generosity in helping a family in Gaza during this devastating time. Your contributions have been deeply appreciated and will make a real difference in their lives.

Unfortunately, after further exploration, it has become clear that using the funds to help the family leave Gaza has become unfeasible. The process is far more complicated than anticipated, and the amount raised is not sufficient to cover the extensive costs involved.

As a result, I have made the decision to redirect these funds to meet the family’s immediate and essential needs. They lost everything in the bombings, including their home, belongings, and savings. Your donations will now go toward daily necessities like food, clean water, and proper clothing—especially as winter approaches and the need for warmth becomes urgent.

Thank you for standing with this family during their time of need. Your kindness will help them rebuild a small measure of stability in an otherwise unimaginable situation.
