Support Amal's Family in War-Torn Gaza Escape to Egypt

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Brooke Coke and I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Amal and her family. The main goal of this fundraiser is to help Amal's newborn nephew get urgent treatment for his foot, which has been severely damaged due to Israeli shelling. This fundraiser also aims to raise money for Amal's entire family to help them get food, water, and shelter. Here is their story as told by Amal's mother:

I am Shaima from Palestine, Gaza. I am a mother of four children, Magdy Walid, Abdel Rahim, and Amal. My husband traveled to Egypt to get medicines two weeks before the October 7 war on Gaza. I faced very great challenges and responsibilities for my four children in the absence of my husband, as he was traveling and the crossing was closed and we could not see each other. The extent of the suffering I was feeling cannot be described. I reach out to you today with a heavy heart and ask for your urgent assistance. I have left my home and been displaced more than 6 times with my children. I live in the war-torn Gaza area, facing unimaginable challenges, with water shortages, food scarcity, and constant threats to their safety.

Magdy the Great, dreams of decorating his room with the best furniture and appliances, to build a future with his three younger brothers. - Walid, 9 years old, loves football very much and admires stars such as Messi, Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah. He hasn't seen a game in nine months and missed the entire school year without any education. Abdul Rahim, the youngest, is 8 years old. He often says: “Stop the war - we are children - we want to live.” But does anyone in the world hear his screams and respond to him? Living in despair This family has been living for nine months in a small tent, no more than 3 meters in size. Imagine spending every day, every night, and every moment in such cramped conditions. They need urgent support to rebuild their home and regain a sense of normalcy.




Amal’s nephew, who was born a few days before the war, and her cousin, who went to Egypt for treatment, did not see her. Amal's infant nephew has a problem with his peripheral nerves, especially his left hand, and it also means a problem with his right foot, because there are platinum nails inside it, which restrict the movement of the foot. He will need to be evacuated to Egypt as soon as possible to treat his nerve damage and increase his quality of life as he grows.
