Very very important Don’t ignore this.
I survived death and bombs, I survived genocide.
They have declared a ceasefire now.My friends, our guardian angels
You who saved my family and children, the war has ended, and I am alive, thanks to your support and assistance.
The Rafah crossing will open very soon, and I will be allowed to leave.
I will meet my children and my family, and I will see Nasr, Dania, Heba, and my mother, and I will embrace them all.I have come out from amidst the bombs and missiles, and my heart is filled with hope and gratitude for you.
My father will also come with me, and this means the family will be reunited once again, thanks to your prayers and support.
I need you now more than ever.Please, do not delay, I am in urgent need of travel expenses.
You are my only and last hope.
Do it now because I trust you as you saved my family before.
It is time now to reunite me with them.Soon, you will see my pictures with Nasr and Dania, and you will know that your love and strength brought me to them.
I need your support and prayers to complete this journey.With all love
Do it

A note from Ayman Jan 20th, 2025
Hello dear;
I am Ayman Murtaja from Gaza City, specifically the north. My family was subjected to an Israeli attack and this led to the loss of our home and the loss of my job and my father’s work. There is no source of income for us and we live on your donations.
Now, unfortunately, we live in a tent. Please help me for the sake of my mother and father. They are old and cannot bear it.
Please make a donation, even if it is a small one, it helps a lot
Please feel free to donate via my new fund here:
