Organised by Circle 9, with proceeds directed to the Gaza Support Circle.

The Gaza Support Circle is supporting a Palestinian Family who has fled from Gaza to safety in Australia on Visitor Visas, which means they do not have the right to work for a whole year. This has added to their challenges and means it is difficult for them to be financially independent. They are now living in a unit and in need of support with rent, electricity bills, gas bills, water bills, in addition to other daily expenses.

Support a Palestinian Family who have fled the destruction of their home

The Gaza Support Circle (135) was set up by Laila, a Palestinian-Australian, who has lived in Adelaide for nine years. After countless attempts, and trying many different strategies, Laila’s family were finally permitted to escape their war-torn homeland of Gaza and come to Australia on a 12-month Visitor Visa. Their house was bombed, family members killed, all possessions destroyed, and their savings obliterated in the collapse of the banking system. They fled Gaza with only the clothes on their backs.

Once this Visitor Visa lapses, they hope to gain a Protection Visa for refugees with the right to work. They have the qualifications and skills that Australia needs – Kefih is a doctor, Freih a civil engineer, and Ahmed has a Bachelor of English Literature. They’re trying to keep busy and volunteer. Until they are given the right to work mid next year, they cannot earn an income.

With help from some very generous people, they have a roof over their heads for the moment. To keep this accommodation ongoing, they must pay for rent and utility bills. The Gaza Support Circle (135) is seeking your generosity to raise funds to support the payment of rent, gas and electricity, water and some daily incidentals until they receive the right to work and can support themselves. Any amount, big or small, will be gratefully received.

Donate now through our secure GiveNow page.

It is very important to ensure you check the “Gaza Support (135) Circle” box when donating so that your donation goes to this Circle.
