Hello, my name is Tasia Hinojos and I am a teacher and mom of three from Glendale, Arizona. I have created this campaign on behalf of my friend Osama and his nephew, Omar. Please open your heart and listen to Osama's words:
My name is Osama Abdullah Al-Minyawi. I am 31 years old, and I come from a family of 4 boys and 3 girls.
The war started on October 7 in the morning and I was terrified from my sleep. My mother was afraid.
The planes began bombing all over the Gaza Strip without mercy and randomly, and they destroyed many houses, and also destroyed my sister’s house and the house of my second sister. My house also fell.

As a result, my nephew Omar has burns on 1/2 of his body and requires urgent surgery. The surgery costs 2,000 dollars and must be done in Egypt once the border opens. Omar's father and myself have both been without work for 8 months as a result of this war. We do not have the money for this surgery.



My family and I and their children were displaced to Rafah in tents, and there was not enough water to drink or to wash.
We have been suffering for 8 months. There is not enough water or food. The goods that enter Gaza are sold to us and not given to us for free. The prices are so expensive that we cannot buy them, as I mentioned we have lost all source of livelihood.

Winter came and it rained heavily. We sank inside the tent and got up in the middle of the night to pick up our belongings and did not sleep much because of the rain.
Now we have been displaced from Rafah to Al-Wusta because of their entry into Rafah. I do not know where to go. All of Gaza is not safe.
Please stand with in solidarity with us in this during this tragic time. Any amount will help and if you cannot donate, please share. May God bless you all
Love,
Osama

Osama is a very kind soul who is trying so hard to find the money needed for his family to survive. Please help him by spreading this campaign. He must buy credit to use the phone and travel to a far location just to use the internet. He needs our help spreading this campaign.
The fundraising goal will be used for basic essentials like food and water, evacuation for Osama and Omar's family, and the surgery that Baby Omar needs. There will be complete transparency and I will update you of any changes. Please reach out if you have any questions. May you all be blessed.
Love,
Tasia
