PLEASE DONATE AND SHARE, HELP ME GET INSULIN INJECTION (HUMALOG)

I hope everyone can donate and share my story

I'm Lavender Alfaat, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, a condition that demanded a precise balance of insulin a precious commodity in my war-torn homeland of Gaza.

I find myself in a relentless struggle to secure the insulin vital for my survival. With medical resources scarce and hospitals overwhelmed, obtaining medication became a daily battle fraught with peril.

My condition worsened when the bombs drew perilously close to my home, and my insulin supply dwindled to nothing. With pharmacies shuttered and aid unable to penetrate our besieged area, I confronted a dire predicament. Without insulin, my blood sugar levels surged, threatening to plunge me into a coma.

I ask for your support, your assistance could mean the difference between life and death for me. Please, help me obtain the insulin I so desperately need.

MY GOAL $197/$360

Hello, my name is Saif, a Palestinian living in Jordan, and I am reaching out for your support to help my dear friend, Hazem Tannera. Hazem is from Gaza, and his family of 10 is currently facing unimaginable hardships. While Hazem managed to escape to Cairo this past April, he could not afford to bring his entire family with him.

-Who We Are Supporting

Hazem’s full name is Hazem Tannera, and he is currently residing in Cairo, Egypt. His family, including his parents, Majdi Ali Tannera (Hazem’s Dad) and Amal Shaban Tannera (Hazem’s Mom), and his siblings, are still in Gaza. The family consists of 10 people, including 3 children. I am committed to helping him bring his family to safety. Here are the names of Hazem’s family members:

• Majdi Ali Tannera (Hazem’s Dad)

• Amal Shaban Tannera (Hazem’s Mom)

• Ahmad Majdi Tannera

• Sameera Alaa Abu Dalal

• Majdi Ahmad Tannera (child)

• Suzan Majdi Tannera

• Fadi Esam Thraia

• Esam Fadi Thraia (child)

• Mohammed Majdi Tannera

• Nada Majdi Tannera (child)

-Why It’s Important

The situation in Gaza is dire, and Hazem’s family is enduring extreme challenges daily. The constant threat to their safety and well-being is a harsh reality they cannot escape. Hazem’s parents, in particular, are in desperate need of assistance to relocate to a safer place, whether in Cairo or another refuge. Every day they remain in Gaza, their lives are at risk, and the urgency to get them to safety is immense.

-How the Funds Will Be Used

To ensure Hazem’s parents and younger siblings can escape the danger they face, we need to cover the high costs of crossing the border. Here’s the financial breakdown:

• Adult border crossing fee: $5,000 per person

• Child border crossing fee (under 15 years old): $2,500 per child

The only way to travel out of Gaza is by crossing the Rafah border into Egypt, as Gaza has no airport. Unfortunately, crossing the border comes at an exorbitant cost, with $5,000 required for each adult and $2,500 for each child under 15 years old. This money goes entirely to the company and authorities on the Egyptian side – none of it benefits Hazem’s family. It’s a heartbreaking reality where people profit from the suffering of others.

In addition to covering these fees, the funds will also be used to help Hazem’s family get started once they reach safety, providing for their basic needs as they transition to a new life.

Hazem has tried everything in his power to work and gather the necessary funds to bring his family to Cairo, but paying for 10 people is an extremely difficult task. Despite his relentless efforts, the financial burden is overwhelming.

-How the Funds Will Be Transferred

Once the funds are raised, they will be transferred directly to Hazem’s bank account. Hazem will then use the funds to pay the border crossing fees for his family members and to help them get started in their new location. I will oversee the process to ensure that all funds are used appropriately and as intended.

-Conclusion

Your generosity can change the course of Hazem’s family’s life. No amount is too small, and every donation is deeply appreciated. Please, open your hearts and help us bring Hazem’s family to safety. Together, we can offer them a chance at a better life and a brighter future.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
