About the Cause
Dubai Cares' Emergency Response in Gaza supports the people of Gaza with emergency relief aid. To ensure the prompt and efficient supply of this emergency relief, we have partnered with Anera who are working closely with UN, diplomatic and non-governmental organization partners to open aid corridors to enable it to urgently deliver life-saving aid.
Through your generosity and compassion, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by the humanitarian crisis. Together, let us stand in solidarity with Gaza and demonstrate that hope and compassion know no borders.
My Story
I am Aya, currently a general medicine student, and we live in Iraq. Thank God, when I was two years old, my father passed away, and I am my mother's only child; I have no sisters or brothers. My mother told me my father used to sell vegetables, meaning we didn't have a monthly income. After my father passed away, my mother started working as a seamstress, and with the money from sewing, she supported me and my mother. After a while, my mother got breast cancer. Six months later, she got kidney failure. The situation is urgent as my mother's health is critical; she currently weighs only 30 kg. We need to raise a total of $30,000 USD to cover the kidney implant, which costs around $54,000-$55,000, and other medical expenses. The breast cancer surgery she underwent cost $7,500. We have already collected $38,000 USD and are seeking to raise the remaining amount as soon as possible.
