Help Shada's Family to Rebuild Their Lives In Gaza

Hello supporter, my name is Jessica Rapoza from USA and I’m raising funds for 24 year old mother Shada Kassab, her husband Hussein Barakat, and their baby son Adam.

Here is their story as told by Shada:

You know the difficult situation that we are facing everyday. I am 24 years old, and I was pregnant from the beginning of this war. I gave birth to my son, who’s age now is five months. We are so tired because we lack everything.

On top of everything, Adam suffers from club foot and will need an urgent surgery. It costs at least $3000 and he will need special boots fitted. This surgery is not possible in Gaza even without the war.

Our baby son Adam:

Me and my son Adam:

My home was destroyed and my husband lost his work as a driver. He had a water truck and used it to spread water to people in need, but it was destroyed alongside my home. I have evacuated many times. The first evacuation was at Deir el balah and I stayed there for more than 4 months. And now I've evacuated again to Anusirat camp and I don't know where could be the next evacuation.

I need your support to help me and to save my son (Adam) from this violence. I need to have a safe life with my small family. Due to the high prices of traveling here from the only border I do this link to help me and my husband evacuate from Gaza Strip forever to seek our future.

I am a new nurse graduate and need to find a job and to live as anyone. I have a lot of dreams to achieve. I don't want to die or to lose my son or my husband. Please give me your helping hands and don't give up on me and my family. Remember that I depend on you and I trust on you that you will save us.

Please donate with any amount of money and this will greatly and surely make difference.

The money for evacuation is:

$5000 for me

$5000 for my husband

$2500 for my baby

All remaining funds will go to affording Adam’s surgery and helping us survive until we find jobs and start our new life.

Funds will be transferred to the family as they are received.
