Hi everyone,
I'm reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help. My dear friend Shaker who lives here in Brussels, is deeply concerned about his parents, siblings and nephews in Gaza. Over the past 9 months they have faced the most terrifying and difficult circumstances, having been displaced several times, with the living conditions getting worse forced move.
They have recently been displaced yet again and are currently sheltering in tents on the beach. Both his mother and one of his sisters are sick and need medication, and all of his family is suffering greatly from the lack of fresh food which is contributing to the spread of infectious diseases, particularly his nephews who are between 2 and 6 years old.
Shaker had been very hesitant to create this GoFundMe, because for him and his family it feels like an insult to their dignity to have to ask others for financial assistance. But they no longer have a choice as the prices for food, drinking water, medication and other basic needs are exorbitant.
I'm therefore asking each of you, from the bottom of my heart, to donate anything you can to help support the Abuijlan family. Even a few dollars or euros will be greatly appreciated. We would also be grateful if you can share this post and GoFundMe as widely as possible.
Deepest thanks to each of you for your generosity and kindness. We are witnessing so much suffering and injustice, it can feel overwhelming. But please know that your contributions really do make a difference. 🙏🏻❤️
