Short Story

A message from Ahmad:
My name is Ahmad. I live in Gaza and I’m 27 years old. I studied accounting and I’m a football player and coach at a football academy. Now the circumstances we are facing are unbearably harsh that no one should have to endure. Despite everything, I am doing my best to support my family. All I ask from you is to be human – to just be human.
A message from Y A:
I am raising $8,370 to support my friend Ahmad in providing essential food and water supplies for his family over the next three months. The ongoing siege and genocide in Gaza have caused prices to skyrocket, making it incredibly challenging for families to afford even the most basic necessities. Ahmad’s family includes 10 adults and 13 children, and the cost of survival has become a daily struggle. Ahmad is also supporting his brother, Mohammed, and his family, since his brother has a disability affecting his back.
Ahmad has outlined a detailed cost breakdown for three months of essential expenses as follows:
– A sack of flour (lasting 3 days): $150 – Water supplies (lasting 1 week): $100 – Milk for each child (per day): $28
This amounts to approximately $93 per day, totaling $8,370 for three months.
Please support Ahmad and his family by donating if you can, and sharing to spread the word. Let us stand by our Palestinian brothers and sisters in this unimaginable time of need.

*Note, at the time of launch, the converted target amount from USD to CHF is ~7457 CHF.
TARGET UPDATES: 7457 CHF -> 600 CHF -> 1500 CHF -> 4000 CHF -> 6000 CHF -> 10,000 CHF
We have managed to transfer payouts from Stripe to Ahmad, which are gradual unfortunately.
So far, Stripe has delivered 3 payouts, each one for a donation:
96.65 CHF: Received 02/12, Transferred to Ahmad 02/12
48.15 CHF: Recived 02/12, Transferred to Ahmad 02/12
57.49 CHF: Received 03/12, Transferred to Ahmad 03/12 (via a different PayPal due to some issues with the first)
With these donations, Ahmad managed to buy several cans of chickpeas for some children in his family and pay back loans he had to make to buy food.
Please let us conitnue supporting Ahmad and his family. We cannot let them down in such an unimaginabe time of need.
We’ve decided to update the target goal to a weekly goal instead of a 3-monthly basis. This way we can keep better track of the funds and make sure they reach Ahmad and his family on a timely basis. For a weekly target, using the above cost breakdown and a conversion rate of 0.89 USD per 1 CHF, this means a weekly target of around 579 CHF, which we round up to 600 CHF to account for any transfer fees.
