Our Story
Hello, my name is Yousef, and I am starting this fundraiser to secure a safer and more stable future for my family who are still living in Gaza, especially amid the ongoing conflict and its escalations that have severely impacted their lives.
My sister recently gave birth to a beautiful baby during these challenging times. Her courage brings light into our lives, but the reality they face is threatening. They live in a house that has been severely damaged by the conflict as seen in the top left of the banner, a daily reminder of the dangers they endure.
The Impact of War
The war has left deep scars. My sister's three young children are growing up amidst constant trauma. The sounds of conflict are part of their everyday lives, a situation no child should ever face. Their education has been disrupted, which is crucial for their future development and prospects. Without the stability of regular education, their future is uncertain, and opportunities are diminishing fast.
Adding to our hardships, my mother, who suffers from chronic diseases of high blood pressure and diabetes, is facing an alarming scarcity of necessary medications. The ongoing conflict has amplified the shortage, putting her health in grave danger every day.
My Sister's Education
Furthermore, my sister, who was close to completing her degree, now finds her dreams shattered as her university was bombed. The destruction of her university has not only disrupted her education but also added to the uncertainty and instability of our family's situation.
Why We Need Your Help
We are seeking your support to raise $37,500 to help my family leave Gaza and relocate to a safe environment where the children can attend school regularly and grow up away from the trauma of war.
Here is a breakdown of the costs for evacuation:
Adults (5 adults x $5,000): $25,000
Children (3 children “including the newborn” x $2,500): $7,500
Relocation support (Initial housing and food expenses): $2,000
Additional Costs (taxes, GoFundMe fees, money transfer fees): $3,000
Every dollar raised goes directly towards the costs of evacuating my family and setting them up for a new start in a safe location, covering travel, initial accommodation, and essential needs upon relocation.

This is a reminder that if an account sends you an ask saying they're from a Palestinian family and need aid, it is most likely an scam
Most of these people will steal stories from real GoFundMe's of Palestinian families to try and get you to give them your money. DON'T FALL FOR IT
Sadly I don't know how to recognize scams exactly, but some things that seem common on these are: They don't have any other social media. Their donation link is to a PayPal or something similar. The account was made recently. They don't have any pictures or video of their family's situation.
You can also try reverse searching their profile picture and see what pops up, if they are legit, you shouldn't find results that lead to unrelated social media accounts.
If you want to help actual Palestinian families, there's Operation Olive Branch, they're an active spreadsheet compiling several GoFundMe's to help Palestinian families. Tumblr post with some more info on them
My name is Mohammad Al-Manasra, and I am writing to you from the ruins of destroyed homes, living in a tent that offers no relief from the scorching summer heat or the biting winter cold. I lost my parents and sisters in the war on Gaza, and now I am living with my wife and our three children in extremely difficult conditions.😭😭😭😭😭
I plead with you to assist me in safeguarding what remains of my family and providing for their basic needs. We are in desperate need of support during these challenging times.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Your help and support would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hello, my Dears. Unfortunately, I have some bad news. Some of you may know Pippin, my lovely baby boy kitty that I’ve raised since he was a few hours old and how much of a miracle it was that he survived. He is now 2 years old and recently he started having urinary issues. I’ve taken him to the vet and we ended up having to take an ultrasound of his bladder. We found a mass in his bladder. My vet had never seen a mass shaped like it before and was afraid to poke it in efforts to see what it was so she sent the imaging to a bigger more well-known veterinary hospital for a consultation in hopes that they’ve seen something like it before. When they got back to me they, too, didn’t know what it was unless they did more tests with the possibility of corrective surgery. I try very hard to live within my means but I still live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford such expensive vet bills. That is why I’m asking you and those in my community to donate to my GoFundMe so that Pippin can get the help he needs and continue to live a long healthy life. Any donation is welcome and if you could please share this post I would be very thankful.
If you have the chance please take a look at my old friend's fundraiser. I know we haven't talked in years but even from when I knew her as a kid she has always been so strong and determined, it would be greatly appreciated if you were able to help with upholding her strength now as she has done with many
I will also be offering commissions to anyone who donates to the fund and will post more on that later
I'm ecstatic to share that part of Yara's family is out of Gaza!! They only need 5000 more dollars to reach their goal and help all 27 family members and their cat Misha to evacuate. Because I know it's difficult to believe crowd funding on tumblr here is a video detailing how the money is being used and for who
Charity stream tonight! If you donate $10 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, you can get a free colored sketch from me! Let's raise $200 to help a good cause!
