Yesterday was my pay day, and as such, I donated another €25 to my friend Ahmed and his family's fundraiser to stay alive in and escape Gaza. Can anyone match this amount? I am trying to get them to €43k by the end of January, and with an uncertain administration looming here in the US, I would urge all of my fellow US citizens to donate now as much as ever. This fundraiser is all they have to rely on for food, medicine, and survival gear for the winter until they are able to leave Gaza, and if they can't supplement the losses they've accrued by using these escape funds for urgent needs, they may be trapped once the border opens among bombardment, famine, and disease.
Vetted by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi (line 68). I've also seen multiple modes of verification, set the family up with their beneficiary, and have witnessed several successful bank transfers. Ahmed has also given me forms of verification to provide to donors who request it. DM me if it will secure your donation.
Tagging for reach under the cut.

Hello,
My name is Mohammed Ashraf, and I am 20 years old. I am writing to you from a place of suffering, pain, and anguish...
My life was very normal and beautiful until war came and destroyed everything. Before the war, I had graduated from high school with a 90% average and enrolled in a Computer Science and Internet of Things program at the University of Gaza. However, my joy was short-lived as the war struck Gaza, destroying my university and my dreams along with it.
My father is 45 years old and worked as a sound director for Palestine Television. However, during the war, his work stopped due to the destruction of all the media outlets.
My mother is 37 years old and had many dreams, but the war shattered all of them. My middle sister Hala, who is 17 years old, was supposed to graduate from high school this year, but the war deprived her of that opportunity. My younger sister Janna is 13 years old, and my youngest brother Adam is 10 years old.
Our suffering began from the first day of the war. We were forced to evacuate our home, which was destroyed, leaving us without shelter. My family and I fled from northern Gaza to the south, believing it would be a safer area as claimed by the enemy. However, there is no safe place in Gaza. We were targeted by Israeli airstrikes, and the house we had moved into was hit. All my family members were injured, some severely and others mildly.
My mother needs bone grafting for her fingers, and my father requires surgery for multiple fractures, nerve grafting, and physical therapy. My sisters need to have their scars treated and require medical care abroad. However, we need funds to cover all travel and treatment expenses.
We are now seeking the opportunity to live abroad after our treatment, but this is very costly. I urgently need your help to make our lives better and to help us forget the nightmare we are currently living. I want to provide my family and myself with a decent life and a better future. I believe that humanity and compassion still exist among you and that there are those who will respond to our plea.
My wish is to provide my family and myself with the life we deserve. Every donation, no matter how small, will have a significant impact on our lives. Your contributions will help cover all our travel and treatment costs.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my family and me during these difficult times. I believe that goodness still exists and that there are those who share our hope for a better life. Thank you for considering supporting us. I am grateful for any assistance you can provide.
"I used to be their pillar of strength, and now I seek one for myself among them. My little one asks me, 'Will we eat today?' and I silently weep, unable to answer."

I've made many posts on Lina's (@linooomo, previously linasaif) behalf by this point. The above video is of her son, Saif, being terrified of the sound of constant bombing. This was back when they still had a roof over their heads--now Lina, her husband, Saif, and Saif's even younger sister Sidra are living out of a tent, more vulnerable than ever.
However, I'm not giving up on trying to help her, and neither should you.
Lina needs to buy food and water, as well as milk and diapers for Sidra. She is only 10 months old! As seen in the linked posts, she's suffering from serious diaper rash that has only just begun to heal.
Lina has told me that PayPal is faster and imposes less of a fee than GFM, so a friend helped me set up a PayPal campaign. You can donate to this even without a PayPal account. The goal is roughly set to cover the family's needs for the next two weeks.
🍞 A 25kg bag of flour: 80 euros
🐣 Diapers: 60 euros
🍼 3 cartons of milk: 60 euros
🍅 Vegetables when available, and other supplies: 100 euros
💧 Water (for drinking, cleaning, and hygiene): 80 euros
💸 Withdrawal fee: 30%
VETTED: HERE
im in disbelief at the fact that a lot of folks are simply over palestine. like protests are dwindling down. people are not very interested in news related to gaza. some are simply over it.
israel hasn't let aid in gaza in 70 days. gaza has been starving for 70 days. the condition of people there is horrendous.
i find it distressing to think about children in gaza. how does one continue to have a childhood in a genocide? they don't have school. they don't have safety. they don't have food.
despite all this, the kids will be alright. they'll be alright once the genocide stops and they get back to 'normal'. till then, can we please try to support them however we can?
this fundraiser (verified) helps feed a family which includes two young children. please consider helping their mother take care of them.

Hello 👋, My name is Momen Al Madhoun / I am a digital artist / a devoted husband / a father of two children " Ezzdeen & Amir " I live in Gaza City in the heart of the Genocide, working tirelessly to amplify my voice to the world through my artwork. I walk long distances to access electricity and internet, creating under harsh conditions to ensure my voice reaches the Tumblr community through my art. I hope you support me to continue surviving and ensure the safety of my family. Thank you for your time. Stay safe 🙏
this is a comic my dear friend @wolf-aid had made using batman both because he’s a very dear character to me and because we are hoping that a popular character will bring more attention to the comic itself.
the comic says most of what i can say already — but i’ll say it again. ibrahim is an incredibly sweet young man who i’ve been close friends with for a few months now. he and his family need help to be warm, to eat, to get medicine, and to survive — hopefully soon they can escape their awful circumstances.
please have a heart: donate what you can, reblog this post, and pay attention to ibrahim’s campaign.
I would like to thank you very much for your wonderful donations that enabled me to help a large number of sick cats and dogs, including a cat suffering from this skin disease, and she began treatment at the vet.
My goal now is to buy a tent to contain the innocent voiceless souls from the cold and provide them with shelter and food.
Your small donation can make a difference🙏🙏🍉🇵🇸
