Imagine trying to sleep, while being forced to listen to a loud, unavoidable noise. A noise that heralds danger, a danger that has already hurt someone you care about. A danger you can do nothing to protect yourself and your love ones from. This is what Mohammed Iwais has to go through every night.
Mohammed Iwais @mohdiwais has spent months trying to raise money so he and his family in Gaza may evacuate to safety. Now, he is struggling to gain connection to the internet, making this goal even harder for him.
Without a good internet connection, he struggles to keep in contact with people through Tumblr, or to make posts to raise funds for his campaign.
On top of all this, Mohammed has to deal with the constant sound of quadcopters nearby him. This sound is an extremely loud droning noise, which causes fear and stress, and makes any kind of sleep or rest extremely difficult. One of Mohammed's sisters was hit by a quadcopter bullet several months ago, and is struggling to heal while being trapped in Gaza without proper medical treatment.
Right now, the Iwais family's campaign is close to completion. They only need ~ $3.1k USD to reach their goal. However, this certainly doesn't mean that it is acceptable for you to stop caring, or for donations to slow down. Mohammed and his family need your help to be able to evacuate!
Please, help them finally reach their goal. If you are not able to donate right now, please help share their campaign.

> As we celebrate this special time, we also remember those within our community who are facing hardship and vulnerability. Today, I want to ###bring two critical needs to your attention.
> Firstly, we have a dear member of our transgender community, known to us as Brian, who is currently very sick. We ask for your thoughts, prayers, and any support you may be able to offer for Brian's healing and recovery during this challenging time. Your kindness and compassion can make a significant difference in her well-being.
> Secondly, the challenges within our refugee settlement continue, and we have a number of our members who are living with HIV. Access to consistent and nutritious food is essential for their health and for the effective management of their medication. Additionally, ensuring a steady supply of necessary medications, including ARVs, is a constant concern.
> As you celebrate the spirit of Easter – a time of giving and hope – we humbly ask if you might consider extending your generosity to support these pressing needs within our community here in Gorom. Your contribution, no matter the size, can provide vital sustenance and medication for our members living with HIV, and offer comfort and support to our friend Brian during her illness.
> The image I share today is taken here in Gorom Refugee Settlement. It represents our presence and our hope amidst the challenges we face. Your support can help us ensure a brighter and healthier future for some of the most vulnerable within our community.
> Thank you for opening your hearts and considering our appeal this Easter. May your celebrations be filled with peace, love, and the spirit of giving.
