Urgent Evacuation Support for a family in Gaza
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Ali Skeik, and I am reaching out for your support to help my uncle Yousif Al Ghazali and his family in Gaza escape the ongoing war. They consists of nine members, including two young children. The situation in Gaza has become increasingly dire, and they are currently residing in an unsafe shelter in the central area of the Gaza Strip.
Since the commencement of the war, they have been living in three rooms with over 85 individuals, sharing only one inadequate washroom. The living conditions are perilous, especially for the children who are traumatized by the continuous bombings. Sleeping on the cold ground without sufficient mattresses or blankets has become a daily struggle.
Adding to their challenges, my uncle Yousif and his wife Reem are in need of medications, which are scarce due to the destruction of pharmacies and health facilities in Gaza. Access to clean water and food is severely limited, exposing us not only to the threat of bombs but also to the risk of diseases and illness.
The recent holiday season brought further heartbreak when they discovered that their house was occupied by the Israeli forces, was destroyed and set on fire. This devastation, in addition to the loss of our jobs due to unreliable internet connectivity, has left them in a precarious situation with no income to sustain themselves.
I am reaching out to raise funds to facilitate their escape from these perilous conditions and reunite with me in Canada. Your contributions, no matter the amount, will play a crucial role in saving our lives and allowing us to evacuate to a safer place.
The funds raised will be allocated as follows:
$5,000 USD for Immediate Relief: Providing assistance for accommodations, food, and essentials during their stay in Egypt before traveling to Canada.
$10,000 USD for Airfares: Facilitating travel from Cairo to Toronto.
$15,000 USD for Minimum Rent (First Year): Supporting our living arrangements in Canada. $5,000 USD for Basic Furniture: Aiding their settlement in Canada.
$2,813 USD for GoFundMe Transaction Fees: Covering fees associated with the fundraising platform.
Your support will have a profound impact on their journey to safety and a new life in Canada. I appreciate your compassion and generosity during these challenging times. Let us also hope for a more peaceful future in Gaza, the Middle East, and the world in 2024.
With respect,
Ali Skeik
