1. PayPal— There is currently a withdrawal fee of about 15%. For example, if I have $2,000 in PayPal, after fees I receive $1,700 in my bank account at Bank of Palestine.

Donors pay the amount they want on Chuffed. Chuffed keeps the money for about 7 or 10 days, then they send it to Thomas—my fundraiser’s bank account. Then he sends it to me with PayPal. Thomas has been reliable, and he talks to me every day.

Many people trust Chuffed better than PayPal. If you’d like to send me money and you don’t mind using PayPal, we would avoid fees from Chuffed.

Chuffed is ok too, otherwise.

Now I’ll explain how it works from my side as a citizen in Gaza. There are three main ways I can receive money:

I told my friend JB earlier how I get access in Gaza to the money from my fundraising campaign.

I think it could interest many people, so I’m copying my reply here.

Yesterday, I was in the south of Gaza until the evening, then I started moving north along the coastal road. The road was very difficult. I was heading north while most people were going south. It was a dangerous and challenging route.

I want to explain this video to you. These are concrete walls and barriers that the Israeli army placed on Al-Rashid Coastal Road. The army was stationed here when we were in the south, before the road was cut off.

I’m exhausted in ways that can’t be explained.
Since the first day of this war, we’ve been running—between explosions, between grief, between survival and collapse.
I’ve lost my home. I’ve lost friends. I’ve lost pieces of myself I’ll never get back.
I haven’t felt safe for a single moment. I’ve not been able to sleep without fear for myself, for my loved ones.

I’m not begging for charity, I’m asking for your solidarity. We can’t do it without you.

I wanted to share this video with you so you can see a small part of our reality. We walk a long distance about 500 meters just to fill water for drinking. Life in Gaza has become incredibly hard. Even the most basic rights, like access to clean water, have become a struggle. But despite the exhaustion, we try to keep going and stay patient. Please watch the video, and keep us in your prayers.

Does anyone know where to get a tent in Khan Yunis that’s not a GHF aid point? Are MSF/Doctors Without Borders or the Red Cross/Red Crescent or The Sameer Project or anyone else with us here with tents?
I need a tent for 8 people.

The situation here at night very difficult. Most nights, all night, there is a quadcopter flying overhead and making very frightening noises, along with the sounds of children screaming and dogs barking, which increases the terror. Sometimes we hear a sound like a drone's speaker, and all the targeting makes the atmosphere charged with fear. People here are very tense, and the night is filled with anxiety and terror.

Honestly, sleeping is very difficult. I'm always anxious and tense, and I think about everything around us all the time. I think about whether we or our neighbours might be targeted, I think about filling water, I think about fire, I think about everything. Even when we decide to go to southern Gaza, I think about where we can set up the tent and how. Everything goes through my mind, leaving me no room to rest or sleep.

Asking for donations is exhausting, and it makes me feel weak while I know I’m capable of incredible strength and resilience.

Your support is a lifeline thanks to which I keep my head above water. But it’s a sea of pain, endless cries, and denial of our humanity.

Not very long ago, during one of the heavy bombardments near our tent, an explosion struck just beside us. Shrapnel tore through the air and pierced my hand, leaving me injured and in pain. Even as I struggle with this wound, I have no choice but to keep caring for my family, because I am their only source of support.

Your donation—no matter how small, even $5—can make a huge difference in our lives. Every dollar will bring us one step closer to safety, to medical care, and to rebuilding our lives.

We also ask you to please share our fundraiser link with your family, friends, and on social media to reach more kind hearts. Every share and every donation brings us closer to our goal.

Thank you, and please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.️

My older brother Atiya was injured by an exploding bullet that hit his chest. Shrapnel lodged under his eye and in his hand, leaving him in pain.

In Gaza, finding electricity to charge our phones is a daily challenge. I often spend hours searching for a place where we can charge them, sometimes relying on shared community charging spots powered by solar panels. Other times, I have to go from neighbor to neighbor, hoping someone has a small source of power to help us. Staying connected is vital for our safety and for communicating with the outside world, yet even this simple need has become a daily struggle.

DON’T IGNORE ME, we’re tired and hungry, I SWEAR, it’s been months without a reliable access to food, without a night free of drone/helicopter noises, dogs barking and children screaming, please help us

Donate, share my story, keep Gaza in your prayers!
