Discover and support Gaza fundraisers

Hello, I am Anas, a 20 year old man from Gaza. On October 7th 2023, I was 1 of 5 brothers.

On October 28, my older brother (Muhammad, 29) disappeared when he left our shelter to purchase diapers for his 8-month old baby. We have not seen or heard from him since that day.

A few weeks later on November 16th the massacre at the school we were sheltering in lead to the martyrdom of my 24-year-old brother Abdulrahman. He was a Hafiz of the Quran, who had just graduated, top of his class, with his degree in computer engineering at the Islamic University of Gaza. This inspired me to pursue studying IT. 

I was 18 at the time of the bombing, I had lost two older brothers within a few weeks. I almost bled to death for three days. I was in and out of consciousness before my parents found me. I required a transfusion and the doctors insisted I was lucky to be alive.

I had to undergo several surgeries to amputate my left arm, with no anaesthetic, no pain meds. The first surgery was over a year ago, in November 2023 but because of the violence in Gaza, and the closing of the crossing, I have been unable to get a prosthetic arm. Even since the ceasefire took effect, I am still waiting to hear when it will be my turn to evacuate for treatment.

I am supposed to be the breadwinner of my family, how can I do that without a prosthetic arm! This campaign is supporting me, my parents, my surviving siblings and many children who are orphans. I hope and pray we can all evacuate together. I need to be fitted for a prosthetic arm and receive the necessary tendon graft surgeries that cannot be performed in Gaza. 

Any support you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you ❤️
