Urgent Appeal: Every Second Counts in Critical Situation
My name is Emad Saleh. I am living in London, Ontario. The matter at hand is of utmost importance, as it pertains to a critical situation where every single second is crucial. Please understand that the urgency of this matter is compounded by the fact that lives are at risk, and immediate action is imperative to mitigate the danger faced. Your prompt response and assistance in this matter are greatly appreciated and could make a significant difference in the outcome.
A Family's Journey: From Crisis in Gaza to Hope in Canada
In war-torn Gaza, my family - including mother, siblings, and their families - struggles with the ongoing conflict. Each day brings worsening conditions, leaving our futures uncertain. Yet, hope persists.
My family spans across households, each confronting its own set of challenges. From my mother's family to my oldest brother's family of six, to another brother's family of seven, and yet another brother's family of five, down to the smallest family of three, we are united in our struggle to survive. The war has also taken a heavy toll on my sisters' homes. My sisters' house was completely destroyed, leaving them homeless. My other brother's house was partially damaged, but it is still uninhabitable. As a result, both of my sisters and their families are currently living in temporary shelters with limited resources and facing an uncertain future.
My family originally live in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, where all the hospitals have been destroyed and are out of service. My brother's pregnant wife had to flee to southern Gaza to find a clinic to give birth, leaving her husband and four kids behind. Now, far from home and family, she faces incredible hardships, struggling to care for her newborn in such harsh conditions.
The spectre of starvation looms large, and each passing day is a desperate struggle for survival. With unwavering determination, she fights tirelessly to secure the most basic necessities for her infant—milk, clothing, and a warm refuge—while yearning for the day when she can reunite with her family.
While the Canadian government has opened a pathway for family reunification, it does not provide financial support to newcomers taking advantage of this opportunity. This presents a significant obstacle to bringing our family to safety and stability. Thus, we turn to you, our community and compassionate individuals to help bridge this financial gap. Your support is essential in transforming this government initiative into a life-changing reality for our loved ones.
How Your Contributions Will Make a Difference
In this hour of desperate need, we humbly reach out, beseeching for support and assistance. With a family of 31 members, including 14 innocent children, our resources are stretched thin, and the path ahead seems daunting. Yet, clinging steadfastly to hope, we set our sights on a new horizon—Canada—where a special program offers a glimmer of salvation for families like ours.
The funds raised will be our lifeline, instrumental in covering these exorbitant escape costs، Leaving Gaza for Egypt, a crucial first step towards safety, comes at a staggering price – $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child, temporary resident visas (TRVs) in Egypt, and providing accommodation for our families as we await visa processing. Additionally, your support will alleviate the burden of transportation costs from Egypt to Canada and ensure that our loved ones have a roof over their heads upon arrival, including the provision of rent and essential amenities.
Your support is a light in the darkness, guiding us towards a brighter future. Hope lives on, even in despair.
In the face of such devastation, every single second holds immeasurable significance—a fleeting moment that could mean the difference between life and death
Various expenses, including:
- The cost of coordination from Yahala Company to exit Gaza is $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child.
- Paperwork fees (biometrics, passport issuance, application fees, etc.)
- Accommodation in Egypt until visas are obtained.

Any amount you can contribute is deeply appreciated and makes a difference. If you cannot contribute financially now, sharing our cause with your friends, family, and community networks would also be immensely valuable to us.

Thank you for your support and assistant
