Their story

From Bassam's fundraiser

“I once lived a simple and dignified life in Beit Hanoun, in northern Gaza. I worked hard every day to support my family, dreaming of peace and a better future for my children.”

Bassam's existing GoFundMe describes the destruction of his home, loss of work, displacement, and the family's need for food, water, medicine, shelter, and day-to-day necessities. Olivekind links to that existing fundraiser rather than replacing it.
