This group's purpose is to organize and mobilize aid (food, clothing, medicine) and raise money for the children of Gaza.

This is an action group. Your donation and contribution is welcome.

First step - INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO THIS GROUP

Please join our Facebook Cause Aid to Gaza children

In facebook, where we are raising money, the beneficiary is currently MERCY CORPS a 501(c)(3) nonprofit

In 25 years of experience on the ground, Mercy Corps has learned that communities recovering from war or social upheaval must be the agents of their own transformation for change to endure. It's only when communities set their own agendas, raise their own resources, and implement programs themselves, that their first successes result in the renewed hope, confidence and skills to continue development independently.

Description: Since 1979, Mercy Corps has provided $1 billion in assistance to people in 82 nations. Supported by headquarters offices in North America, Europe, and Asia, the agency's unified global programs employ 2,700 staff worldwide and reach nearly 10 million people in more than 40 countries.

Mercy Corps pursues its mission through emergency relief services that assist people afflicted by conflict or disaster; through sustainable community development that integrates agriculture, health, housing and infrastructure, economic development, education and environment, and local management; and through civil society initiatives that promote citizen participation, accountability, conflict management, and the rule of law.

A letter from Mercy Corp:

Thank you so much for thinking of Mercy Corps for your donations.

First of all, if your cause does choose to give the donations to Mercy Corps, I can assure you that all of that money will go to our programs in Gaza. We keep track of the individual causes that donate to Mercy Corps via Facebook to ensure that all funds go to the appropriate programs.

That being said, the majority of Mercy Corps' Gaza recovery programs target children. Our staff on the ground has found that the psychological toll on civilians, particularly children, has been enormous. Mercy Corps is in the process of transforming our psychosocial programs to address the specific needs of Gazan youth.

Currently, we are also working to help families with damaged homes to gain access to clean water and better shelter. We continue our work to distribute emergency relief items to 100,000 Gazans in need, but have shifted our focus to helping civilians rebuild their lives in the long term. In total, Mercy Corps has raised more than $2 million and secured $500K worth of material goods to support our efforts.

All of our Gazan recovery programs help children directly through the rebuilding of schools, food, shelter, and psychosocial programs -- or indirectly by helping parents rebuild homes and livelihoods.

Many thanks for thinking of us for your donations. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions for you. Also, you can check out the latest Mercy Corps Gaza updates here: http://www.mercycorps.org/gazacrisis/

Comment by Mohammed on May 21, 2009 at 3:54pm: Hi my dear friends,
I want to tell you about little girl from Gaza, thi girl suffer from hair loss disease, This disease called ( Alopecia Totalis), and now she lost all of her hair .
Her father tried to help her but he failed because there is no active medicine here in Gaza for that disease.
Doctors here said that there is an active medicine, but that medicine found outside Gaza, this medicine called Diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP).
So if some body here want to help this little girl he can buy this medicine and sent it to her here in Gaza.

Thank you

take care!
I went to look in your facebook page only because request and when I red your appel, I say: Why? French Government payed all! I don't condamned you, simply I specificated the notice!
It was possible to collect money for Sara in Gaza, when she is home, is natural. Why are you so angry?
For you Mohammed I never do anything and I never spent word...just happy words for your new baby joy! so greatefull, so lovely!
Don't worry!
Now is important little Sara home with a very good health! And if you collect money for her in home, is a very good notice!
Now is not time for passion, anger, is time for peace with all persons! is time to rebuild life.

Comment by Basem on May 19, 2009 at 7:09pm: Big thanks for every body helped my daughter Sara specialy Denise from France and my friend Mohammed .
I was so happy when I hear about that the operation was successful and I hope she return to my home in good health

Comment by Mohammed on May 19, 2009 at 6:34pm: Ok
I know that French government payed all include tickets before Sara comint to Paris, because they cant pay the tickets after Sara arrive Paris.
But I call important persons in the French government who did that, but you are here to talk and just talk.
Since more than 5 weeks I was very busy and work with my friend Denise to help Sara, and you now write in facebook a comment and accused me that I want to collect money for Sara and put them in my pocket.

I dont know what you did except talking

Comment by Beatrice LATEUR LACROIX on May 19, 2009 at 6:32pm: I'm so happy for Sara ... and her family, of course ! Dear Sara, I hope your life will be full of joy and light and especially peaceful.
Denise, you did great, as I told you by phone.
Love and Peace for every being.

Comment by luisella valeri on May 19, 2009 at 6:20pm: So happy to know good news from Sara!

"and I want to say to Luisela about her comment on facebook, if she look to the tome of my comment she will know that I tried to help Sara to cover the plane tickets before someone covered them later, and when they covered, I wrote comment and told my friend that."
France Government payed all (not only fly ticket for her and her grandmother) before Sara coming in France. EU Government are strictly serious in helping persons to recover in their hospital.
If you done, so glad! Don't worry!
We all are happy for Sara!
Denise, an angel, now is tired, she is a great mother and suffered so much for dangered life of little Sara!
