Happy New Year!
Here's some lazily done doodles of some Oc's from a series I animate :)
My name is Melissa and I am supporting Areej to help her family survive in Gaza and try to evacuate. As the dire situation in Gaza worsens with relentless bombings by Israel, my friend, Areej Kassab, along with her family, urgently need your support. They are in desperate need of safety and security. Areej her family are now attempting to evacuate Gaza for Egypt, where they hope to find refuge. However, crossing the border comes at a steep cost—$5,000-US dollars per person.
Your donation can make a world of difference for Areej and her family. By contributing to their evacuation costs, you are providing them with a chance to find safety and stability. Areej has provided additional details on the costs of evacuation and survival. We need to raise total of $60,000. The evacuation costs for one adult are $5,000 and we are a family of 10 adults, so it's $50,000 and we have 5 children and each one costs $2,000 to evacuate
We will evacuate to Egypt and then we will try to find another country that can adopt my family.
We are hoping that the Rafah border will be opened again soon. If the war ends soon then we will use the funds to rebuild our sister's house and the money will allocated to pay for the essential expenses including food, gas, water, and the necessities for the 5 babies in our family.
Jimmy being an amazing friend
I am Aya Osama Al-Dahdooh, 13 years old. I send you greetings from Gaza City, where I currently live amid a very harsh war. Before the current war on Gaza, my family and I had beautiful dreams, like the dreams of birds and flowers, but the war has destroyed them. My family has lost all the necessities of life.
My family consists of my father, whose name is Osama. He is a doctoral researcher at Leeds American Academy. He owned a professional training center and an accounting office, both of which have been completely destroyed by the war. Throughout his training journey, my father trained thousands of people in Gaza. But today, he has lost his job, his center, and even the house we lived in.
My mother is a nurse named Noura, and I have three siblings: Farah, who is 15, Ubaida, who is 17, and Mohammed, who is 6 years old. Today, we are suffering from intense fear because of the bombing and missiles. We have been displaced from our home 15 times. The war has killed about 200 of my friends, neighbors, and schoolmates. We suffer from chronic illnesses due to malnutrition. The voice of my childhood asks: Why are we exposed to death, hunger, and disease every day?
Our home has been severely damaged and is no longer fit to live in because it’s located in an area with intense firefights. Life in Gaza has become almost impossible, as we are exposed to death, hunger, and disease. For this reason, we wish to leave Gaza and move to a safe country. My family wants to build a new future; we want to learn, dream, play, think, and share in the joys of others.
Time is running out, the war is getting fiercer, and death surrounds us from all sides. We still have hope that you will help us. We hope you will donate to us so we can leave Gaza because travel expenses are very high. My father will re-establish his training center and accounting office as soon as we reach a new location. We will be able to buy healthy food, clean clothes, safe water, and medicine to treat
No donation is too small.
There are noble human actions.
With all our love.
Aya and her family from Gaza City.
