Hashem, who studies and lives in Istanbul, is raising funds to get his family out of Rafah to safety. At one point they felt so discouraged with how slow the donations had gotten that they lowered their goal to 9k. They have only increased their goal back to their original plan of 45k just recently. They are currently at 8k – let’s show Hashem that his family is not forgotten!

Camps Breakerz Crew: This is a hip-hop dance school that has also become a community center in their rebuilding efforts after their building was bombed by the IOF.
