Who among us does not remember University Street, the alleys of halls, the park, the cafeteria, and the coffee sellers on the roads.
How can a person forget his home?! His comfort, after returning from university, was to enjoy a cup of coffee, his ritual for completing his tasks, and at the end of the week in front of the television watching a comedy movie.
The house and the road to it were beautiful. Life was lived with sincerity and warmth of moments. It was our happiness to return to our homes.
Happiness became a wish, and a loaf of bread became a miniature happiness.
I am writing to you in extreme pain. My house has been damaged, and I have lost my university laptop. I currently need an MSI laptop to complete my university studies, and its price is $2000 due to the war and the extremely high prices. I ask for a donation as soon as possible so that I can solve the final exams that begin at the end of the week.
I have seen less and less posts about Palestine each day, and I want to remind people that there is still very much a genocide going on and Palestine has continued to be attacked.
The number of casualties in Gaza has increased to 8,525 with 21,000+ injured
Hospitals in Gaza will run out of power today
Israel has once again cut Gaza’s communications
Israel has striked another refugee camp, killing 50+ and it was reported that children were carrying other injured children to get to safety
Current progress: $20,124/23,966 CAD (short term goal)
With the help of the funds raised through the campaign, Raghad has been able to evacuate several of her family members. Those family members are now trying to find employment, but they have lost the paperwork they need to apply for jobs and must go through the costly and time consuming process of becoming recertifed. Without a stable income, Raghad's relatives have had remain reliant on her for support with their living expenses.
Those family members currently need help with rent. This includes Raghad's aunts, cousins, and elderly relatives. She is trying to raise $4,000 by the end of February to help them with housing expenses. The update announcing this was posted to the gfm on Feb 14th. Since then, only $158 has been raised.
I was extremely late in seeing the update and I am trying to help amplify it. Please share so that this can reach more people who can donate. If you yourselves are capable of giving monetary support, please give what you can.
I am unaware of any official vetting for Raghad's campaign. However, @/transmutationisms has been in contact with a family friend of Raghad's and has expressed they are confident in the campaign's legitimacy. Additional information can be found in transmutationisms' original post about Raghad's family.
match my recent donations in any number—whatever you are capable of! five dollars can go a long way if many pitch in. all fundraisers are vetted.
if you cannot donate, i have also linked their tumblr posts/accounts so that you may reblog their posts.

Hello, my dear friend 🌟
I am Mahmoud Jihad from Gaza, currently living in displacement camps after losing my home, university, my PC, and my city. I was studying Information Technology and caring for my sick father and siblings.
I am raising funds to help my family and to escape from Gaza, as well as to continue my studies abroad 🎓. I started a GoFundMe campaign for this purpose. Your support can make a significant difference ❤️.
My campaign has been verified by @beesandwatermelons ✅ #190 .
Please share, like, comment, and donate even a small amount 🙏.
Could your support save my family and help us survive in this fierce war 😔?

Around 1 million Palestinians are now in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza following the latest Israeli forced displacement orders.
Nearly half of Gaza's population is now concentrated in a town that lacks even the most basic infrastructure and is also under Israeli bombardment.
£3,200/£5,000
$1,800 until they reach their goal! Last donation was 6 days ago!
Abudjana Mohamed is a 19-year-old electrical engineering student from Sudan. Thanks to the fundraiser, he has already obtained a new passport and traveled to Ethiopia where he is applying for a visa.
Abudjana has also been accepted into a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering Program at the Islamic University of Technology (IUT) in Bangladesh on an OIC Partial Scholarship. This campaign will help him cover his remaining tuition fees and potentially his flight to Bangladesh. Please share and donate to help Abudjana continue his studies!
Palestine is NOT a trend. boycotting Israel-supporting companies is NOT a trend. your compassion for the innocent is NOT a trend. isreal was, is and WILL continue killing Palestinians and bombing Gaza for as long as the world is silent. do not stop talking about it. do not stop boycotting. never. stop.
🍉 Please don't ignore my suffering
I am Sara Hussein, a Palestinian ❤🍉 from the besieged and destroyed Gaza
From a family of young children, women and the elderly 😢🥺
My mother suffers from a stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure and needs intensive medical care and expensive medications 🥺😭
The children in the family are deprived of playing and studying and suffer from hunger and deprivation 🥺
Our life is harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and difficult to obtain. There is no food, no water, and no medicine.
So I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive so that I can pay for their expensive travel costs from the Gaza Strip to Egypt and our current daily living expenses in the Gaza Strip.
Please don't leave my family alone 🙏
