Save Wissam and His Family from Genocide

Hello everyone. I go by Vixen, and I am a US-American organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Wissam Abu Shanab, a 17 year old Palestinian boy who urgently needs funds to evacuate Gaza, Palestine along with his family. Palestine has been experiencing genocide and ethnic cleansing for over 70 years, but since October 7th, 2023, Israel has launched a brutal campaign to finish colonizing Palestinian land. Wissam and so many other Palestinians urgently need your help to survive this genocide and evacuate.

Wissam previously had a fundraiser organized by David Sheir that closed for unknown reasons. That fundraiser was only able to accumulate $122, not even 1% of the funds he and his family need to evacuate Gaza. Wissam's words on this fundraiser were as follows:

"Dear friends, I am Wissam, 17 years old, a Palestinian from the Gaza Strip. My family and I are displaced on the beach of Khan Younis, our last safe haven. We are a family of six and we are asking you for urgent help to escape this genocide. Our lives have turned into a life of displacement, insecurity and loss of hope for a future. This is what weighs on me, my father, my mother, my sister, my three brothers, my brother's wife and a little child. Family members: Jawad Abu Shanab (my father is 60 years old) Nisreen Abu Shanab (my mother is 55 years old) Wissam (I am 17 years old) Ahed (my brother is 24 years old) Raed (my sister is 21 years old) Lina (my sister is 23 years old) Mirvat (Ahed's wife is 22 years old) Tim (Ahed's son is one week old) Every member of my family has dreams and ambitions. Please help us survive this nightmare."

This family deserves a safe life away from constant bombardment, hunger, disease, and despair. Please be generous in giving them a chance to have it. All contributions are precious, and collectively, many people can create a lasting impact even with small donations.

Wissam and his family need you.

I am in contact with Wissam through Instagram DMs. I receive all donations and send them on PayPal to Wissam's friend, Rami Ishaq, so that Rami can give them to Wissam. GoFundMe as well as Wissam's family have approved of this process.
