Save Mahmoud and Hala's Family from Crisis

Welcome. My name is Todd from the USA, and I am managing the campaign for my dear friends Mahmoud and Hala Abu Sweilem, Bisho's parents. The Abu Sweilem's are from Beit Lahia, Gaza, but their home was just this week bombed, and they have been living under a dilapidated tent in Northern Gaza.

Hello friends, I'm Bisho, a child from Gaza. I want to tell you about my family's story today, in my own voice.

My family consists of my parents, my brother Tim, and my younger brother Sand. Before the war, we had a beautiful home where we lived safely. But because of the bombs, our house was damaged and became uninhabitable.

My father had a job that allowed him to provide for us. But because of the war, he lost his job and is no longer able to provide for our family.

My mother was a dedicated teacher and a wonderful homemaker who cared for me and my brothers. Now, she is heartbroken because she cannot teach anymore because of the war.

I, Bisho, used to go to my beautiful kindergarten every morning. I had the best time there, and my brother Tim went to kindergarten with me. There was so much fun and learning.

My younger brother Sand may not even remember our house because the war forced us out, and he was only one year old. Now, we are all suffering from contagious skin diseases because of the pollution and malnutrition. We have limited resources, and no money to purchase food, water, or supplies.

I hope you can save my family from death, hunger, and sickness. Please donate, even a little, to help our family. Thank you so much.

The contributions will be used for food (as you know it is priced exorbitantly), clean water, winter clothing, blankets and supplies. Medicine may be needed as our health has worsened, and healthcare in Gaza is very expensive, but necessary. We are hopeful that the war will end and we can rebuild our lives with the contributions you give.
