This fundraiser seeks to help my cousin's family escape devastation caused by war in Gaza,providing them the means to evacuate to safety.

Christchurch, Canterbury

This fundraiser is for my cousin Eman,her husband Ahmed and their family,in Gaza, who desperately need to escape the aftermath of devastating war.The ongoing conflict has left Gaza in ruins, with unbearable living conditions marked by loss, hunger, destruction,and sounds of relentless bombardment. My cousin’s family has lost everything;jobs,savings,children’s education, and sense of safety,but they still hold on to hope for a better future.

Before war, their children were thriving.The eldest son was a gifted student,beginning university with dreams of becoming an engineer, and the second child was excelling in high school, aiming to be a dentist. But in October 2023, their world shattered. They’ve lost loved ones, family home, endured unimaginable hardship: hunger, fear, illness, and the destruction of memories and everything they held dear.

Now,they’ve made the heartbreaking decision to leave Gaza and to evacuate to Egypt as a step toward rebuilding their lives in another safe country. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funds, they missed a previous evacuation opportunity and cannot afford to miss this one. They need $52,000 for evacuation, food, rent, and travel expenses to be able to start fresh in safety.

Please donate to help them rebuild their lives. Your generosity can make all the difference, offering them a chance to escape war’s grip. Please share their story to help make this life-changing journey be possible and be part of their safe journey.

Thank you for your support.
