This fundraiser is urgently in need of a boost! Folks, Mahmoud recently contacted me to share his story -> read it here in his own words:
I am Mahmoud Al-Sharif, married and have 3 children, and my wife is about to give birth now with my fourth child. We are from the Gaza Strip, which suffers from wars. lived through 5 of these wars, and I lost my eyes and fingers hand, and my other eye was damaged.
To date, they have been only able to raise $1,492 USD of the $60,000 they need to cross the border into Egypt and escape the ravages of genocide. Here, Mahmoud hopes that he might get medical treatment for his eye, and that his wife will be able to give birth in a place of safety.
It is so important to keep sharing their story -> you can follow this family at @mahmoud-sharif. I encourage you to read and reblog their posts, and of course, donate if you are able to do so 💜
Out of these, I like eating tamales the most. Although, it hardly ever snows here. What's your favorite out of these and comment your personal favorites, if you'd like
Now that you're here, please share and donate to help a woman widowed by genocide and her 2 young children. They're spending this winter shivering in a tent, hearing the sounds of weapons, and praying that they're not next. The last donation to them was 2 days ago.

No need for explanation.
I'm the second option. I don't mind sharing details about myself. In fact, I can tell you a few things! I'm 29 years old. My birthday is on January 27th, and I live in Toronto, the unceded territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. I also like mint chocolate, I'm obsessed with fruits like apples and mangoes, and I like to watch indie films about the human condition.
Now you have a general idea about who I am and what I like. Will I tell you more? No, because it is my right to keep information about me private. But this is not the case for the people from Ghazzah. They have to reveal every bit of their life to show foreigners, especially from the West, that they are from Palestine and they are surviving an accelerated genocide. It doesn't matter if they are verified. So you see paragraphs about their experiences, photos, videos, and testimonies from their friends who are supporting them.
But, for some reason, this is not enough.
My good friend, Mohammed Iwais (@mohdiwais) is the perfect example of this. He has shown everyone everything. And I mean everything. Go to his blog. Look at it. There are photos, posts, and videos about his current situation.
One post that gets me the most is about his sister's injury. She has been shot in the thigh by a fucking QUADCOPTER. Mohammed has no choice but to document the whole thing. He has to show X-rays, the bullet, and the blood on the bandages. All so people can empathize with him and lend their support.
Yet, it doesn't seem to get any better for him.
Donations have been awfully slow. He would receive one after many hours, and it would be mere pennies since people don't pay attention to the currency exchange! There are so many 5 and 10 SEK donations if you look into his fundraiser! Mohammed and his 27 family members do not deserve this!
So please donate and share. Mohammed is the sole breadwinner in his family. Many of them are his young nieces and nephews. They are children who are starving and sleeping on the streets!
And don't forget about the currency exchange! It is set in Swedish Krona. $10 USD = 103 SEK. There is also PayPal available, so you can literally give $1!

They're in dire need for NOMAD esims in Gaza! Please refer to the website on how to buy esims
I really need people to realize that scammers are gonna scam. It's already known that scam bot farms exist. There is literally one in Asia (forgot where as I read the article last week) which kidnapped people to scam people through dating apps. It is not out of the equation that there are people using Palestine to scam people, whether it be Hamas, another Iranian proxy or Iran itself, notorious scam groups or individuals not tied to any scam group.
It's also important to understand that people can and do create fake profiles to make a profile seem more legit. Unless you yourself can verify an account which is "verifying" people asking for money, do not trust them, and even then, if you can verify an account doing verification, it is not outside the realm of possibility that said account is not doing a good job at verification.
It is important that civilians in Gaza get money and donations, do not read this as me being against it, people just need to be more aware of bad actors who simply want your money for the sake of getting rich.
