Urgent Appeal for my Family Escape from Gaza

Dear community,

I’m raising funds for My sister Rania Harouda. The following story in her own words :

I am Sharing our family's tough story during the ongoing conflict. My husband, Fouad Harouda, and our three kids – Zeiad Harouda(15), Zeina Harouda(12), and Mohamed Harouda (9), who has Down Syndrome, are facing hard times. The war is making it tough for Mohamed to get the special care he needs for a normal life. We're asking for help to get him special food, healthcare, and mental health support in Egypt. Mohamed struggles to talk well because of the war, and we need a specialist to help him with that. He had heart surgery when he was three years old, and now, with not enough food and medicine, he must leave Gaza. We're raising money for him to leave, and get speech therapy, mental health help, and basic needs. Our house was destroyed, and we lost everything in the war. We need to rebuild our lives in a safe place outside Gaza. Your support will help Mohamed start a new chapter with better health. Mohamed, a happy boy, wants a simple pleasure – a burger. I promised him that once we're in Egypt. Our once-perfect lives are now upside down, and we're homeless, seeking safety in places without shelter. Mohamed, not understanding the situation, still waits for his school bus and longs for basic things like bread. It's a daily struggle. It breaks my heart when my children ask for food, and I have none. Starvation is causing weight loss, and sleepless nights are filled with the cold and sounds of bombing. With the support of people worldwide, we hope to raise enough funds to be safe and get Mohamed the care he needs.

How You Can Help:

I started this GoFundMe to collect $CA 130,000 for our evacuation to Egypt, Canada Visa costs, and airplane tickets. Here's how the funds will be used:

- The remaining funds will be used to rebuild our life from scratch.

Your support will make a big difference in getting us to safety and starting anew. Your donation, no matter how small, can create a significant impact. I appreciate your support, thank you so much for considering and being there for us.
