4 fundraisers that need your help!

Iyad Khalil: "On October 7, an airstrike hit our home, taking the lives of my father and my brother Ahmed. Our house was reduced to rubble, and my family was torn apart. The only ones left were my mother and my remaining siblings, who were forced to flee northern Gaza under a hail of bullets and relentless bombing. They carried their grief and fear while walking through roads littered with the bodies of martyrs." -> 0 / 32 000 €

Shahed's children: Shahad and Abed already had a young son, Mohammad, and were eagerly waiting for their second child, whom they planned to name Adam. Suddenly, Abed was taken from their lives, leaving Shahad with a heavy heart and the responsibility of raising their children alone. Little Adam was born into the world without ever meeting his father, while Mohammad kept asking about him, questions Shahad couldn’t find the words to answer. -> 751 € / 13 000 €

Oday Akram Al-Bardawil: "I have always been a dedicated student, dreaming of completing my university studies and specializing in a field where I can help my community and make a difference. However, the current situation in Gaza makes it extremely difficult to achieve this dream, especially with limited resources and the lack of a safe and stable educational environment. We urgently need to move to a safer area where we can live with dignity and without the daily threats. I hope to secure a safe place for my family and complete my university education so that I can build a better future for all of us." -> 1554 € / 15 000 €

Ahmed and his family: Ahmed and his brothers are forced to look for food everyday for survival, with little success. They've been displaced from their homes in the North to the South. Any assistance would help. -> 2696 € / 30 000 €

There is almost no food in northern Gaza.

Mahmoud Almadhoun and his family run a soup kitchen that feeds thousands of starving people for free. Acquiring in bulk means they can get more food for less and giving the food away alleviates the control food scalpers have over the market.

Please send them any money you can spare, especially if you have anxiety over picking between individual families that need help. The soup kitchen having more resources means they can feed more families and be bigger competition to food scalpers, driving down food prices over all.

Thank you for donating and sharing.

Help Gaza Soup Kitchen

In Gaza, as you know, the schools and universities have been destroyed, leaving young people with only the dream of getting to study hard, achieve their goals, and find work in their field, or even just have fun with their fellow students every day. My good friend Akram and his twin brother Malek were just about to enter university when the war came and took away their hopes of higher education. Now, it's more important than ever for them to be able to return to school. With degrees in their fields of science and medicine, they can be a lifeline and support to their family, and help to rebuild Gaza and protect its future.

But to do that, they need to be able to leave through Rafah Crossing when it opens again, which will cost at least $10,000 for each of them. Because of this, Akram and Malik need to make their short-term goal of $25,000 as soon as possible.

Right now their campaign is at $1,378/$25,000, only 5% of their goal.

The campaign has gone very slowly, and Akram and Malik dream of using their education to help everyone in Gaza. Please donate and share as much as you can, so they will be ready as soon as the crossing opens again.

You can also help Akram's family with their daily survival and necessities by donating to his sister Layla, who has a young child and another on the way. Their campaign is also very low on funds!

Akram has been vetted by gazavetters #138. 🇵🇸💗
