Direct to Lubna Family Relief and Support
Donation protected
My name is Alicia Hashem, I’m Palestinian / American diaspora living in America. My family who resides in Gaza has been displaced several times since 1948. Within the last year, they have once again lost their homes, and are being forced to evacuate over and over into dangerous zones, living in unfathomable conditions. Many families like ourselves are turning to crowdfunding in order to survive and manage. Donation money is transferred directly my cousins in Gaza so they can buy survival necessities including water, food, tents, and medicine. Even $5 helps feed people bread, provide drinking water, and charge cell phones!
Before and After:
This is just a drop in the sea! Palestine is the largest and longest running refugee crisis in the world. From 1948 to the present day, there are over 2 million displaced suffering people. Despite the risk, scrutiny, and inconvenience it causes to acknowledge this disaster, it is morally right to lend a healing hand. I don’t think people truly fathom what it’s like being born into this crisis… Remaining silent or favoring the well-being of one group over another normalizes racism and cruel treatment. We need people and leaders to use privilege and power to uplift families like us- the old fashioned indigenous farmers of the region- who have been deprived of basic human rights for multiple generations. It’s going to be a long process rebuilding life from scratch after all this!
We implore you to help us by sharing this campaign. Though it seems hopeless, not all is lost. It is still possible to heal. I dream that one day this world will be safe for us again. Until then, thank you for being here lending us strength during this atrocity. It truly means the world.
Please meet my cousin Lubna, her husband Munir, and their 3 children Sami, Zina, and Shadi, and learn more about their situation:
"Our names are Lubna and Munir Younis, we are a Palestinian family from Gaza. We are requesting urgent assistance to help our family. Over the last year, our home was destroyed and we have evacuated from place to place, but unfortunately there is no safe place left to go.
Your contribution will make a life-changing difference in ensuring our children's safety and well-being during these horrific times.
The ongoing war in Gaza has forced many families, including us, to face unimaginable challenges. There are no more places to find refuge and we are all struggling to survive. The situation has reached a critical point. Amidst this chaos, we are desperately trying to secure safety and find temporary safe shelter away from the danger zone.
The money helps families survive and afford basic necessities such as food, water, medicine, and a tent. Sending relief directly through collective crowdfunding is the only way to save Gaza from this nightmare tragedy. Spreading money, water, food, and resources to our community gives innocent children the hope to survive. Thank you for being so wonderful and lending us your strength in these scary times.
