Help Raghad's Relatives with Housing Costs – $4,000 in needed in the next week!

Current progress: $20,124/23,966 CAD (short term goal)

With the help of the funds raised through the campaign, Raghad has been able to evacuate several of her family members. Those family members are now trying to find employment, but they have lost the paperwork they need to apply for jobs and must go through the costly and time consuming process of becoming recertifed. Without a stable income, Raghad's relatives have had remain reliant on her for support with their living expenses.

Those family members currently need help with rent. This includes Raghad's aunts, cousins, and elderly relatives. She is trying to raise $4,000 by the end of February to help them with housing expenses. The update announcing this was posted to the gfm on Feb 14th. Since then, only $158 has been raised.

I was extremely late in seeing the update and I am trying to help amplify it. Please share so that this can reach more people who can donate. If you yourselves are capable of giving monetary support, please give what you can.

I am unaware of any official vetting for Raghad's campaign. However, @/transmutationisms has been in contact with a family friend of Raghad's and has expressed they are confident in the campaign's legitimacy. Additional information can be found in transmutationisms' original post about Raghad's family.

$20,225 has been raised, and the last donation was made 3 hours ago after 3 days. Please donate and share. Raghad needs to pay, otherwise she and her family will be on the streets! There is $3,741 left to go! You can match me. I have given $10, but you're more than welcome to give any amount. [Make sure to pay attention the currency exchange. $10 USD = $14 CAD!]

Ibtisam Al-Habil is a single mother of 6 children who is facing multiple crises. In 2014, her husband was killed by the occupation during its assault. She and her oldest son Omar found work to support their family.

They were doing well until the occupation’s 2023 invasion. Their home was destroyed, along with their entire neighborhood. Ibtisam lost her job and her children lost their education. They were displaced to multiple shelters, at one point narrowly surviving an IOF bomb attack on a school.

Ibtisam’s daughter Nour suffers from Congenital Heart Disease, a serious medical condition which has left her immunocompromised, and she requires frequent hospital visits. Receiving the care Nour needs to survive has become ever more difficult, dangerous, and expensive. Further, centers are overcrowded, and the IOF’s sabotage of Gaza’s water and waste treatment systems have made them into centers of disease transmission. For Nour, this could be deadly. She is frequently sick now, compounding her prior condition.

Ibtisam’s oldest son Omar, a nurse who recently married and was expecting a baby with his wife Bashaer, was helping support the family however he could. Tragically, Omar was martyred by occupation bombing several months ago while looking for firewood. His younger brother was seriously injured in the same attack. Omar never got to meet his baby girl.

Ibtisam’s family is now completely without income, displaced, and constantly running for their lives. Nour remains ill, and finding the medical care she needs gets harder every day.

Originally Ibtisam was raising funds to evacuate her family to Egypt. This is probably still the plan for the future, but for right now, Ibtisam and her family desperately need funds to survive. Donations will be used to procure food, water, medical care, and shelter for the foreseeable future.

This family has suffered so terribly already. Please help give them a little hope for the future. Please reblog this post, boost Ibtisam’s posts on her blog, and repost the campaign link across all your social media.

Thank you

UPDATE!!! Young woman in extreme pain!!!

AsIbtisam’s daughter Noha is still in dire need of emergency dental work. Her injuries, sustained during the hazardous trip north and from malnutrition, are debilitatingly painful. She is unable to eat and can barely move due to pain.

I know dental work is often not seen as being as urgent as “regular” medical care, but this is a misconception. Oral health is health, and a broken bone or infection in the teeth or jaw can ruin or end someone’s life as easily as those same injuries anywhere else in the body. Due to elevated levels of bacteria in the mouth, this area is actually at an elevated risk for severe infection.

Noha desperately needs $500 USD (about $722 CAD) for treatment. So far we are not yet halfway there. Please share the family’s campaign and donate what you can before this injury becomes life-threatening!

Current: $54,747 CAD

Temporary goal: $55,224 CAD

Progress: $245 out of $722 CAD (about $170 out of $500 USD)
