GIFT Of HOPE – GAZA 2025

March 18, 2025

As people look forward to 2025, those of Gaza have little to celebrate. They are fighting off utter misery and despair without sufficient water, food, or medicine, facing end of winter’s biting cold without enough clothing or blankets, and in makeshift tents. Compound this with the resumption of aerial attacks and a ground invasion, the psychological trauma of war, and the grief over the loss of homes, jobs, and loved ones. They have an overwhelming sense that the world has forgotten and abandoned them.

Our AMURTEL team in Cairo wants to bring a gift of Hope to people in Al Mawasi Displacement Camp, Gaza. A bag of fresh vegetables currently costs about $35. Our local volunteers are ready to purchase, transport, pack, and distribute food bags to families living there. Families are extremely grateful for these life-saving efforts. Perhaps the most precious gift that we convey, beyond the life-supporting nutrition, the realization that there are people who care, that we love them, and stand with them in their bitter hardship and suffering.

Please join us by your generous support. We have no paid staff and no overhead. We are a small, family-style operation. What you give goes directly to the needy people of Gaza. Our heartfelt Thanks!

Support for those facing homelessness from the LA fires

1/14/25

With thousands of homes burned to the ground and 88,000 people under evacuation order in the Los Angelos area of California, wild fires continue burning. Many people who lived in apartments, simple small homes and trailers have lost everything and did not have insurance. Families just scraping by no longer have a place to live and replacement housing will not be easy to secure, let alone replacing vehicles, household items and in some cases, employment.

AMURTEL is raising funds to support these families, as they face an unknown and daunting future moving forward. Please consider donating to help.
