UPDATE: NEW LINK! Yahya and his family were displaced by the IOF, and are currently residing in Deir al-Balah, south-central Gaza.
Life as displaced Gazans was already extremely difficult for them. Food is very scarce, and their living conditions leave them exposed to the elements. Here is the frequent condition of their tent now that the winter rains have come:
Then, Yahya’s father was injured. Some cartilage was damaged in his neck, and doctors say he requires IMMEDIATE surgery to avoid permanent paralysis.
Yahya and his family previously had another campaign, but it was suddenly shut down by GFM with no explanation. They have created a new one, but it has EXTREMELY LOW FUNDS.
The surgery is a stifling €15,000 euros (about $15,729 USD). Yahya and his family have no hope of paying for it without your help.
I am currently watching an elderly loved one lose their mobility, and it is an extremely heartbreaking and isolating situation. I cannot imagine what Yahya and his family are going through, having no social or financial support and only minimal medical care.
Please give what you can to this family. You are their only hope to save their beloved father’s mobility!
My name is Yahya from G-, I am 20 years old, a student in the Faculty of Pharmacy… Yahya Alhabil needs your support for Help Yahya's family
Major update on Yahya’s little brother Omar
As discussed previously, Omar remains hospitalized with severe burns. You all raised €700 EUR to attain burn ointment for the immediate treatment of his wounds. Thank you.
Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of Omar’s treatment journey.
At just 7 years old, little Omar has third-degree burns over much of his small body due to the IOF attack. The burns are severe in that they burned through his skin, through his ligaments and muscles, and down to his very bones. To say this little boy is in constant, excruciating pain would be a gross understatement.
The pain is not his only problem. The damage to his skin is so severe that his body is unable to heal itself. He requires a skin graft in order to transplant new skin that will be able to regrow.
Without this, Omar’s extensive wounds will remain exposed for a very, very long time. This makes him extremely vulnerable to a catastrophic infection, and his body will be unable to fight it off. Infections are widespread in Gaza right now due to the IOF’s destruction of sanitation infrastructure and the scarcity of antibiotics and other medicines.
This means that at virtually any time, Omar could contract an infection and die. He URGENTLY needs this skin graft so he can finally start to heal!
Please share the campaign widely, donate if you can, and share Omar’s story with your friends and loved ones in real life!! A little boy’s life is at stake!!
Current: €3,134 EUR
New temporary goal: €6,134 EUR
Need to raise: €3,000 EUR (about $3,081 USD)
IMPORTANT UPDATE! Please share!
Omar’s brothers spoke with the hospital billing department today. The brothers were told that if they could not pay the lump sum $3,000 USD, they could utilize a payment plan: $750 USD/month for 4 months. However, the hospital will not perform the operation until 2 months or 50% of the bill is paid.
This lowers our temporary goal significantly. Instead of $3,000 USD, the sum required for little Omar to receive his skin graft is $1,500 USD, with a following $1,500 in the subsequent months.
Since the previous post was made, we have raised €443 EUR. This means we still need to raise €1,057 EUR (about $1,110 USD).
Current: €3,577 out of €4,634
Need to raise: €1,057 EUR (about $1,110 USD)
shared by 90-ghost, shared by gaza-evacuation-funds and vetted by association
€4,684 / €5,360
we have finally passed the 50% point of the amount needed to be raised for the payment plan! this means omar can finally have his skin graft now! however, they still need to pay the rest
since their payment plan requires $750 USD / €726 EUR to be paid per month, i have set the next temporary goal to reach the next quarter of their payment
once this goal is reached, they will only need one more quarter and will have paid off all the costs of omar's operation
€4,931 / €5,360
no donations were made today. they still need €429 to reach this goal
yahya has explained that due to 30% fees, the money that was meant to reach them actually came to much less than what they needed for the halfway point.
therefore, omar still has not had the surgery.
they urgently need €200 to get it, please let's do what we can to help - yahya is very afraid omar will die
