About the Campaign
Meet the Abo/Abu Ghanem family 🌊
From GoFundMe: “We are the brothers Youssef, Abdullah, and Muhammad Abu Ghanem, from Palestine, from Gaza City. We come from a a family of 10, 4 brothers and 4 sisters, and we live in the Sheikh Ajlin neighborhood on the shore of the Gaza Sea. From the sea came our talent, which we have always loved, which is the sport of surfing on the sea…”
How we got connected
I (Nikbo) met Mohammed and Abdullah Abu Ghanem on Instagram through the Gaza Surf Club community. As a surfer myself, I connected with their love for the ocean, and started sharing their campaign. The occupation has forced them from their home and today they are sheltering in tents in a refugee camp.
What your $$$ supportS
Our humble donations will go towards helping them survive this genocide. Their current priority is raising funds for lighting their tents at night.
What else can I do to help?
Visit the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights website for ways to take action.
