i’ll add more links as i continue to find reliable sources and proper donations. please dm me other resources and i can add them to this list. if anything here is not trustworthy, please let me know immediately and i will take it down. free palestine until it’s backwards, pray for palestinians who do not know whether they will be safe in their own country.

last but not least, if you are a zionist, unfollow me immediately. i don’t need you on my tumblr. and do not use what is happening in palestine right now to be anti-semitic.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

Zionists on here that are mad at Israel having to give up more hostages than Hamas are SO close to getting the point that it's actually sad.

THE REALITY WE FACE

We are not just struggling—we are starving. When we manage to eat today, we don’t know if we will survive tomorrow. Hunger gnaws at us constantly. Every day feels like our lives are slipping away.

We are without clean water, without proper shelter, and many of us, including those living with HIV, are without the medicine we desperately need to stay alive. Every day is a fight for survival. Without help, our future is uncertain.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: YOUR DONATION SAVES LIVES.

We are reaching out to you because we cannot do this alone. Your donation, no matter how small, can make the difference between life and death for us. The money will be used to provide:

1: FOOD.

2: CLEAN WATER.

3: SHELTER to protect us from violence and the harsh environment.

4: MEDICATION for those living with HIV/AIDS, who are suffering without care.

EVERY DOLLAR BRINGS HOPE.

Your support doesn’t just offer us food or water—it brings us hope. Hope that tomorrow we won’t starve. Hope that we can have shelter and safety. Hope that we can live to see a future where our identities are not a death sentence.

Donate to RESCUE AND REHOME : EVERY LIFE MATTERS, organised by Shawn Michael Opoka

Hello Everyone, I’m deeply grateful to be connected with you. My name i… Shawn Michael Opoka needs your support for RESCUE AND REHOME :

Thank God that God was kind to my family (my children) and protected them, thank God 🥺🤲🏻

These are the missile fragments that penetrated the tent where my young children live. Thank God they are fine, but I do not know what could happen to them over the days because there is no safe place and they suffer greatly from the repeated displacement. What is the fault of the young children that they do not live a safe and loving life?

Can we get them out of the war before the end of the new year and before my daughter (Layan)'s health deteriorates with your support?

Please do not hesitate to support me and share my campaign with your friends

you are trans enough. your transness doesn’t depend on how well you pass, or how far through your transition you are, or how much dysphoria you have. Your transness is defined by you and only you. don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

happy trans day of visibility! x
