Please consider sharing for me where ever you can to help get donations.

I desperately need help to keep Basil in school; payment is due tomorrow after we had to have an extension.  Rent is due soon as well, and we do not have any money for food or rent payment.  He is also responsible for raising money to help his family in Gaza. He is only turning 18 in April and only means of survival is your kindness and support.

My heart aches as I write these words, but I cannot stay silent about my family’s suffering.
My family in Gaza is living in tents. Two days ago, heavy rain completely flooded their tent. Water entered almost everything they own. By God’s mercy, they survived, but their life has become a daily struggle to survive.

They have lived for a long time without enough food, and every time it rains, their tent fills with water again. No safety, no warmth, no proper shelter… Imagine living in a tent that floods every time it rains, with no food, no security, no normal life. This is their daily reality.

At the same time, I am here in Egypt trying to survive and continue my education. I am a final-year high school student, and this year is critical for my future. I pay rent, household expenses, and school costs on my own, and everything requires money. The pressure is overwhelming.

I am trying to raise money for my family in Gaza so they can have food and protect themselves from the rain, and also so I can continue my studies and not lose my future.

Every donation, no matter how small, can save lives, provide safety for my family, and give me hope for my future. Even sharing this message with others can make a huge difference.

I want to thank my aunt Nishani from the bottom of my heart. She has always stood by me, supported me like her own child, and helped me keep going despite all the hardships.

Hi I’m basil,

These days are some of the hardest my family and I have ever lived.

A few days ago, during what was supposed to be a ceasefire, the bombing started again. In one night, more than a hundred people were killed. Among them was my uncle’s son — he followed his father, who was martyred just three months ago.

That same night, my family’s tents were hit by three rockets. Everything was torn apart. My whole family was injured, and now they’re in the hospital trying to recover. We lost everything — their shelter, belongings, and their sense of safety.

Winter is almost here, and my family does not have any proper tents left.

We just need some help to buy new ones and to cover part of the medical treatment for my family.

People say the war has stopped, but it really hasn’t. Every day, new injuries arrive at the hospitals — from shelling, sniper fire, or random bullets. Life here is a quiet struggle that never seems to end.

Please keep my family in your prayers.

Pray for my uncle’s son who passed away, and for the rest of the family to leave the hospital safely.

And to my dear aunt nishani habibti 🤍, thank you for always treating me like your own son and for standing by me no matter what. I’ll never forget your kindness.

Any small help or prayer means more than I can ever say.

Thank you for not forgetting Gaza.

We are in dire need of donations.  It has been a very long time since we have been able to get any donations to help Basil and his family.  It is impossible for a 17 year old that has been displaced to Egypt to help support his family in Gaza and Egypt.  I am unable to help keep up with his family needs alone. 

The hardest part of all of this is the requests are not superficial.  They just want to be able to have enough money to eat, shelter, and have access to bare minimum level of education that is available... and to send money to their family experiencing extreme hardships in Gaza. 

I have found that donations have completely dried up.  People are no longer even sparing a few dollars. The family does not complain and is appreciative with whatever we are able to do.  We need to do better than this....please help with whatever you can spare.
