This campaign is an ongoing effort between trusted Gazan friends and families with immediate relationships on the ground and in the diaspora. Through networks of kinship and community love, this group redistributes cash aid directly to Gazan families on the ground who need it. These funds will support basic survival including natal and postnatal care, the cost of tents and basic living supplies under excruciating circumstances and limitations imposed by genocidal violence, relocation fees, local community initiatives to feed & cloth people, and other such efforts. Priority is given to direct cash aid for families still living in Gaza and doing their best to stay alive.

Please note that each family's needs likely exceed the cost of the entire campaign, which will likely be raised as we go to accomodate the realities at hand. Those trying to relocate are being charged multiple thousand dollars per head, and most have large families who hope to travel towards safety together. Those choosing to stay have lost everything they have - their homes and all of their possessions. The cost of food, water and bread have been highly inflated and the rate of displacement and internal relocation costs are just as challenging. The road ahead is long to support these families in rebuilding their lives in all cases and ways.

Generosity is deeply needed and appreciated.

If you would like to help further, please also consider running a fundraiser in your local community, regularly sharing this page with your personal networks, donating a portion of your monthly sales, donating valuable items to contribute to our auction, or other such things to help build our pool of funds.

About this mutual aid network:

This effort started in 2014 by my friend Mohammed Abujayyab and the friends, families, and communities he grew up with in Gaza and its diaspora. The network is run and founded by and for Gazan folks who grew up there and have a deep understanding of evolving needs on the ground. It is through their lived relationships with Gaza that they are able to find resourceful ways to ensure funds get on the ground even when all the usual infrastructural avenues have been destroyed. Because this is a full time effort in and of itself, folks like me (Layla, of River Rose Re-membrance) and all of you step in to support the process of fund collection so our Gazan organizing friends can keep their critical work flowing where it needs to. I made this page per my friend's request to facilitate that process, and will continue to share on social media to invite you all along. Let's keep supporting them and showing our love and solidarity in action for as long as it is needed.
