About the Initiative
All proceeds from this event will help fund evacuation for the Kabaja family including Mayar, her five younger siblings (ages 11–19), and her parents. Since fleeing the horrific military invasion of their neighborhood in Rafah, they have been living in a makeshift tent in Khan Younis, where they are subjected to unbearable heat and unsafe surroundings. At just 23, Mayar is the primary breadwinner for the family of 8, but not has not been able to work since the war began.

With the help of friends and generous strangers, Mayar already raised $26k toward her family's evacuation, but they are still $24k short for the necessary costs for when borders re-open. They hope to survive the genocide long enough to cross into and begin a new life Cairo, where friends and family are waiting for them.
