$14,100 USD Raised Of $30,000goal

Imagine dedicating your life to helping others, selflessly pouring your time and energy into saving lives and easing suffering. Suddenly, the home and way of life you knew is destroyed by bombs raining from the sky, and the roles are reversed—your family’s survival is suddenly in the hands of others.

This is reality for Samy Abu-Shawish, a nurse in Gaza, whose career has been spent saving lives—yet now, he must face incredible odds to save his own family.

Samy, a staff nurse at UNRWA, and his wife Nariman, also a nurse, are parents to four children: Lulu, Emad, Mohammad, and Adam. They are seeking help—a chance to escape the unfathomable nightmare that over a year of bombings and death and starvation has brought to Gaza.

With the violence escalating by the day, Samy and his family live under constant threat of attack. Samy and Nariman do their best to shield their children from the horrors unfolding around them, praying that the kindness of strangers will allow them to escape to safety—an opportunity the family otherwise cannot afford.

“The cost of leaving Gaza is beyond our means,” Samy shares. “Without your help, our dreams of a safe and peaceful future for our family remain out of reach.”

Currently, the only viable route out of Gaza is through Egypt, but it comes at a staggering price. Adults are being charged $5,000 to $10,000 for safe passage, with children’s fees at roughly half that. For Samy and his family of six, that would be a cost of approximately $40,00.

Despite completing a master’s degree in public health in June 2023 and dedicating his career to the service of others, Samy now finds himself with limited resources after funding his own higher education. The blockade of goods and aid into Gaza have caused the prices of everything—even the most basic of necessities like food, medicine, and clothes—to skyrocket, making basic survival incredibly difficult, and rendering saving for safe passage nigh on impossible.

Samy’s wish is simple: to find safety for his children and give them a future free from fear.

"As healthcare professionals, we have dedicated our lives to caring for others, and now we humbly ask for your help in ensuring the safety and well-being of our own family," Samy writes on his GoFundMe page.

Every donation brings this family one step closer to safety. With your support, Samy, Nariman, and their children can escape the violence and begin to rebuild their lives in safety.

I think it’s crazy that people were allowed to get away with essentially running Ahmed (90-ghost) off of Tumblr because of a mass campaign dedicated to calling Palestinians and Gazans asking for funds “scammers”.

Like, people were really going mask off and essentially reverting to Republican ways of speaking by going “well if they’re poor, why do they have phones?” “why’s the way they talk so weird?” “[x thing white people think only exists in western countries ] doesn’t exist in Palestine”

And they were allowed to get away with it. And people listened. And people agreed. And people harassed Ahmed so bad he had to leave Tumblr. And those people are still on here, posting their regularly scheduled content like they didn’t participate in one of the worst anti Arab campaigns I’ve ever seen.

Here are some highlighted campaigns that particularly need the funds so the families running them can survive. 🇵🇸❤️ (list taken from @ibtisams blog)

Ghazal/Fayez and their family (this particular family isn’t on Tumblr, but @japanmp3 posts and uplifts their voices for them 💕)

I am Hane I am 38 years old and my wife Noor is 33 years old We lived the most beautiful years of my life, I gave birth to Abdullah, Saleh and Salma, my family was beautiful, I had a beauty salon, my craft was one of the most beautiful hobbies I have, but the occupation destroyed my source of income and my home, it destroyed my health as well, I was seriously injured in my foot that made me unable to provide the basic and secondary requirements of my children Every day the pain increases more and more

Abdullah 🧒is 12 years old, my eldest son. I was waiting for the moment when he would enter middle school. Unfortunately, his school was completely destroyed, but in the war he lost his hobby of playing football. But in the war we lost everything beautiful

Salma👩‍🦰, my daughter, is 10 years old. She is one of the most beautiful princesses👑, but my heart bleeds when she tells me why we, the children, are different from the world

Saleh 👶is 6 years old. He is the joke of the house. He has many talents. He loved his kindergarten very much. He would wait for the morning to play with his friends and practice his hobby in his kindergarten. I am afraid to tell him that his kindergarten was destroyed. It destroyed his childhood and his laughter

Even my wife was not spared from this war that is devastating my entire family🧒🧒👩‍🦰👶. I was pregnant for 9🤰 months and unfortunately my daughter died at birth, due to poor nutrition😪🥺 and unhealthy living conditions for her and our baby.

We lack basic human needs, no food, no electricity, no water. We have been poisoned and infected🍞 by the unhealthy water🥛 we drink. During this period, she felt remorse at how difficult it was for a mother to see her children sick and unable to treat them because she is also very sick. I hope to provide us with support in order to cover the costs associated with ensuring our safe passage to Egypt across the border. Please stand with me, we are now homeless, with no children's needs such as education and food and drink. Please help us by donating to survive and leave Gaza with my children.

Imagine losing your home, your possessions, and even access to basic necessities, all while battling chronic asthma in the middle of a war zone. This is the heartbreaking reality for 21-year-old Sondos Khamis Jafer, who lives in northern Gaza.

Story written by @rumiandroses

Sondos’s home was destroyed in a bombing, leaving her family displaced multiple times. Her father suffered a head injury in the same attack, and with no money for medicine or food, the family faces hunger, illness, and the relentless rise in living costs.

“We have lost everything,” Sondos said to us in her message asking for assistance.

Determined to help her family, Sondos has launched a fundraising campaign, hoping for support to buy medicine, food, and clothing—basic items that are out of reach in their current situation. Despite her efforts, the campaign is new and has yet to receive support.

“I beg you,” Sondos pleads. “Any amount you donate will make a huge difference to us.”

Your support can help Sondos and her family rebuild their lives and find some relief from their overwhelming struggles. Even the smallest contribution can bring them closer to hope and stability.

You can donate to Sondos’s Chuffed campaign [HERE].

An adroit young woman willfully followed her passion in fashion design, and her perseverance has led her to insurmountable success in both her academics and in her field.

Why, then, is our world not employing global outrage that she was forced to abandon all her dreams and live in constant destruction?

Story by @fabricated-pessimist

Kawthar Zeyad Ramadan has endured countless hardships that led to her losing her family, friends, and her life’s dreams. Instead of working hard at designing new clothes or reviewing fabrics, she now has to work infinitely more hard to merely survive. Her life’s work is no longer a passion, it is a call to action. Not to mention that it was her valiant work that gave her family a means of income and survival, all of which was mercilessly stripped away in an instant by the conflict. On top of the heartbreak of war, her mother’s health has been a great point of worry for her family for years. She suffers acute kidney failure and requires dialysis three times a week, a requirement that has scarcely been fulfilled due to the increasingly inaccessible healthcare system, the mass of people in every hospital, and the burden of constantly being displaced. Recently, her refugee camp has experienced terrible flooding that has forced them to live in wet conditions during the coldest season of the year. Even with all of this looming upon her and her family’s life, all Kawthar asks from us is a kind donation to her campaign for a chance at rebuilding her beautiful career and aiding her mother’s dire health conditions.

We implore you to give her some peace of mind that the world cares about her family, her career, and her fellow Gazans by offering even a single dollar, pound, euro, or dinar towards her campaign.
