Supporting my Aunt and her 5 children in this terrible time

Auckland

My aunt, Maysoon Al-Desouki, is still in Gaza. She lives with her 5 children in the middle of the atrocities — the bombing, the famine, the humiliation and the conflict. They have lost their home, all their belongings, their day-to-day life, their studies and many family and friends. They are currently living in an asylum centre with a huge number of people and the children are suffering from ongoing illnesses due to the lack of hygiene and space.

Your generosity will go towards supporting her and her children:

Mays, 21y/o, is in her 3rd year of medical studies and is a freelance writer

Hasan, 16y/o, is a skilled swimmer and football player

Shehab, 14y/o, distinguished in his academic level and has memorised the Qur’an

Mohammed, 10y/o, is a skilled swimmer and loves horse riding

Azmi 8y/o, is a skilled swimmer and loves animals, especially raising cats

Praying they remain safe.

Praying they make it alive through this nightmare.

Praying there is a ceasefire and an end to this conflict.

All contributions will support them in this current crisis — assisting with day-to-day expenses, enabling them to apply for passports in case of urgent evacuation etc. My aunt is hopeful to evacuate the family to continue their lives in peace abroad. If they aren't able to leave, the funds will help them rebuild their home.

Please help me help my aunt and the people of our beloved Gaza 🙏 Please share this link with your family and friends, every little bit helps. Thank you in advance.

A new page for my cousin Mais Al Reem in Gaza  26 June 2024

The situation is still dire in Gaza. So many martyrs and injured in the South. A horrific famine plus more killings in the North of Gaza.

The school where my aunt was taking shelter not long ago, has been struck recently. Many members of her husband's family are now martyrs or badly injured.

Praying for all the martyrs to rest in peace, and for those injured to ease their sufferings and pain.

الله يرحم جميع شهدائنا و يشفي امراضنا يارب.

Worried day and night about my aunt and her family. Still praying for the current war to stop and/or for the borders to open. Every dollar counts!!

My sister, Manar, has kindly started another page dedicated to our cousin Mais Al Reem. Mais just turned 21 years old on the first day of Eid. Her medical studies have halted and we would love to raise enough for her to study abroad.

The funds from this page will go towards rebuilding my aunt's home, or the family leaving Gaza safely.

Please contribute generously towards Mais Al Reems page here
