These 4 fundraisers are in urgent need of funds.
Ahmed's wife is pregnant and delivered at the end of August, her family members were injured during the Nuseirat massacre and their family home was bombed. They especially need funds for Ahmed's sister-in law who got severely injured in the eye and needs to get surgery. He is now taking care of both his family, his wife and their baby, that is 12 people, and needs help for both evacuation, food and medecine.
Siraj is a journalist taking risks every day to report on what's happening in Gaza. He wish to rebuild his home in his country after the previous one he worked so hard to build was destroyed by the IOF. With the current attacks and bombings, he is in dire need of support as he has to take care of multiple family members, his children who are getting more sick by the day. They are barely surviving yet he travels everyday more than 3km through war zones just to keep on posting and asking for help.
Ahed is a dentistry student who lost everything and wishes to continue her study in safety and evacuate with her 6 other family members. She is very concerned for them and their health, as her father is diabetic and her mother suffers from a chest infection. Their current condition makes them very vulnerable and they are in great danger, especially with the high cost of medecine.
Mohammed is the provider for his siblings and nephews, a total of 27 people. They already lost 10 family members and so many belongings through their 7 (!!) displacements. His sister has recently been injured by a quadcopter and had the bullet removed, on top of his family members getting sick and not being able to afford a tent to sleep. These last few days have been particularly terrible, yet everyday he is doing his best for his loved ones. Donations could help alleviate a bit their pain and difficulties.
This only a fraction of what all these families have to go through. If you can, please read what they have to say about their struggle on their posts and their gfms.
The goal of these commissions is to help them at least a little bit, be it to fund necessities such as food, medecine and tents or to contribute to bigger expenses like rebuilding their house or evacuation fees. But at the end of the day, the main focus is to help them survive.
