My name is Lauren and I am an educator and mother trying to help families in Gaza who are facing a genocide. I have confirmed Ramez identity through identification, video calls, and connections within Gaza. His situation is catastrophic and legitimate. Please read his plea for help below. Funds are sent weekly via wire transfer. For transparency, a new fundraiser has been created due to the previous fundraiser goal being met and spent for survival. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Hello friends, I hope you are always well and always happy. As you know, the war is over and we are now living in the days of the ceasefire. Other than that, we have returned to our village from which we were displaced more than a year ago. Yes, we lived through difficult and terrifying days. I hope that they will not return and that the faith will remain.
We lived days full of hunger because we were not able to buy food always due to the circumstances we live in and because of the lack of any continuous income for me and my family and other than that my father does not work and cannot work so I wanted to help my family and get them off the hunger list I am 17 years old at this age I should complete my dreams that I wanted to do but the war came and did not allow us to do anything we saw all our dreams as hell in front of us because of the occupation.
I cannot provide food for my family or provide their needs because of what I am living and because of my young age, so I ask for your help for me and my family and to stand by them so that happiness remains on our faces and is not taken away because of hunger. I hope you help us as much as possible, even if it is a little, my friends. I also hope that you share my suffering and do not ignore what I am living at this age. I always thank you, my friends.

مرحبا يا أصدقاء اتمنا ان تكونو بخير دائما وان تكونو دائما سعيدين كما تعلمون ان الحرب انتهت ونحن الان نعيش ايام وقف إطلاق النار وغير ذالك عدنا إلى قريتنا التي هجرنا منها منذ اكثر من سنه نعم عشنا ايام صعبة ومروعا اتمنا ان لاتعود ويبقى الائمان
عشنا ايام مليئة بلجوع لاننا لم نتمكن من شراء الطعام دائما بسبب الظروف التي نعيشها وبسبب عدم توفر اي دخل مستمر لي ولعائلتي وغير ذالك ابي لايعمل ولايستطيع العمل لذالك انا اردت ان اساعد عائلتي وان اخرجها من قائمة الجوع انا عمري 17سنه في هاذا العمر يحب أن اكمل احلامي التي اردت ان أفعلها لاكن اتت الحرب ولم تسمح لنا بفعل اي شئ لقد رئينا كل احلامنا جحيم أمامنا بسبب الاحتلال لاكن الان نشعر ببعض السعادة لأننا عدنا إلى منازلنا بعد سنه ونصف واكثر ونشعر ببعض الأمان لان القصف توقف
لاكن بقى شئ وهوا انني لا استطيع توفير الطعام لعائلتي او توفير مستلزماتهم بسبب ما اعيشة وبسبب صغر سنى لذالك اطلب مساعدتكم لي ولعائلتي والوقوف بجانبها حتى تبقى السعادة على وجوهنا وان لاتنزع بسبب الجوع اتمنا مساعدتنا قدر المستطاع ولو بلقليل يااصدقاء اتمنا ايضا ان تشاركو معاناتي وان لاتتجاهلو ما اعيشه في هاذا العمر اشكركم دائما يا أصدقاء
