Welcome compassionate souls. 

My name is Mahmoud Jamal. I am a Palestinian from Gaza. I am 29 years old. I hold a bachelor’s degree from the Faculty of Management and Finance, I used to live with my wife and family, and I worked in a private company as an account but because of the war I cannot work, as my home and workplace were bombed.

I am raising funds on behalf of my family (my father, mother, brothers and sisters). We are besieged in Gaza, living in tents with scarce access to water, food and basic necessities. I feel ashamed that I live a life that forces me to create this link, while my family and I are in danger of death at any moment, if not from the bombs, then from hunger, dehydration or disease.

Unfortunately, we are besieged in Gaza because we are not allowed to pass through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt, all I want is to rebuild our family home in the future but for now to help my family survive. Any amount you can contribute is a blessing. My heart thanks you for what you can offer.

Hello, and welcome back - thank you all for being so generous. Unfortunately, Mahmoud's entire apartment has been destroyed, causing the 8th or 9th displacement of the family so far. The family has split up to live with neighbors, in order to alleviate the responsibility of childcare while Mahmoud and the other adult members of the family are currently homeless. Mahmoud is staying close to Nasser Medical Complex, a highly targeted area, and was recently treated in the medical center. 

 

In response to his most recent displacement, we are holding an in-person event "Dinner on the Beach" in Asbury Park, NJ, on Wednesday, July 9th from 5pm-8pm to secure more aid for Mahmoud. To RSVP, please contact gbutrym@hotmail.com after submitting a minimum $25 donation. Your donation will cover a kite to decorate and dinner entree (vegan and gluten free options available). Last minute attendance and cash, zelle or venmo donations welcome. Please contact gbutrym@hotmail.com for more information. So far, we have raised over $500 through RSVPs, which has already helped to secure flour. 

 

Thank you for doing what you can. As always, Mahmoud and his family humbly thank each and every person who contributes to their survival by donating, sharing his story and refusing to turn a blind eye to the ongoing genocide.

Hi everyone - thanks to your donations amounting to over $700, Mahmoud and his family are able to afford fresh food and to start renovating where they live. We are currently seeking donations to continue to create a safer living situation and afford food and other necessities throughout the conflict. Pictured below is the apartment before being bombed and after. Funds have been directed toward building ladders, and finding resources/equipment to access the second floor of the apartment safely. 

In addition to renovation costs, we have been able to provide the family with fresh food. Access to produce has been widely limited due to the lack of safe methods to obtain aid and rising food prices (vegetables purchased with donations pictured below).

Mahmoud, his wife, his family and all of us who consider him family humbly thank those who have contributed so far, and appreciate you sharing this link to your social media platforms, as well as your continued support.
