What if they were your children?! 😢

I often wonder, is this life only for the children of Gaza?

I want the right to live like other children. I haven't had the chance to experience my childhood.

I'm only 14 years old and have already lived through four wars. I wish I could get back the days stolen from me and live the life I deserve. 💔

I wish you could help me evacuate my family to a safe place and a life they deserve. 🏡❤️

A little money for you might mean a lot to us.

Please share the link and donate if you can. 🙏💖

I Shahed Mohammed Fawzi Al-Nahl-An, I am 21 years old. I live in Gaza. I do not know how I will start with my words, but I want help. I feel ashamed to do that, but this is the only solution for my survival. My family and I want to help you post my link through your account so that you can save my life as soon as possible. I do not want to die or lose what is left of my family. I want to live safely 🍉🇵🇸

Shahed, I hope to help you and your beautiful family.

They are still very far from their goal, I encourage everyone to read their story and donate

I’ve been speaking with Laila @lailashaqoura and she has asked me to help spread her family’s campaigns. Both of these campaigns are vetted and verified. The first campaign is for her immediate family, while the second is for her aunt and her extended family, which her cousin Tala @talanassar has been helping to spread. Their fundraisers have been progressing slowly but surely, but that isn’t fast enough. They’re currently only at about 10% of their goal. I’ve seen people do great work to help raise lots of money in a short amount of time when gofundme threatened to shut down a fundraiser. I would say we shouldn’t wait until it’s too late to rush a fundraiser to it’s goal, but the truth is, we already have. Laila sits in her tent as the tanks draw closer and the guns grow louder, and every day Israel drops missiles on the encampment of tents they once called a safe zone. Time has run up, and we have to hurry to do everything we can in order to help Laila and her family escape Gaza. Laila’s mother is pregnant and struggling heavily, and her aunt is battling cancer on top of a genocide. They need all they help you can offer. If you have anything to donate at all, a dollar, less than a dollar, donate it, if you have anything at all to cut out of your life, coffee treats you buy every day, video games you were planning to get, please consider cutting it out and donating or at least matching it and donating to the victims of the genocide that your tax dollars perpetuate. I’m offering artwork in exchange for reciepts of donations to these godundmes, below the cut. The account @creativesforpalestine is also offering artwork in exchange for donations to any Palestinian fundraisers, including these two. Any other artists that would like to offer artwork for donations to Laila and her family, please, DM me and I will @ you on this post.

Please, time is running out. Laila is an incredible young woman and her and her family deserve a chance to begin their lives again.

$4,392/$45,000

$5,232/$40,000

HEY YOU!!! Do you:

1. Want to help a Palestinian from Gaza directly?

2. Have an EU passport and euros-based bank account in an EU country?

3. Have any contacts who can vouch for your participation in pro-Palestine activism and/or fundraising?

If all of these apply to you, please contact me via ask (I’ll answer privately) or DM. Ahmed @90-ghost informed me of a Palestinian from Gaza who needs help facilitating a transfer of funds. I will vet you to the best of my ability (some questions about you, info about people willing to vouch for you, any evidence you have of involvement with the cause, etc.), inform you as to what to expect from this process, and then pass you onto Ahmed to get in touch with the person in need of assistance. Trusting a stranger is a last-ditch effort, it’s the only option left, but I’d like to at least try. If you have contacts at EU-based organizations who can help, that works, too!

Please spread this among your pro-Palestine networks. Thank you 🖤

Have you ever experienced seeing your dream broken in front of your eyes and not being able to do anything about it? Have you ever thought about living in a tent in a cold and unclean ocean, sleeping on the sand, without a bathroom or water? Have you thought about living in a place where you can’t meet your family’s basic needs and feel helpless about it?

I am Shahd from the southern Gaza Strip. All my life, I have been building a life for me and my family. It persisted in a good future, when the war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023. We were in extreme fear during the displacement, and found ourselves in an insufficient small tent. Despite the lack of safety, food, clean water and the spread of diseases, we had to live this difficult life under bombardment, knowing that at any moment, my family and I could lose our lives

My whole life has been scattered, and I am extremely frustrated and sad by the ongoing genocide I witness every day

Do you understand what it means to be in a situation where you have been displaced over and over again, just to reach the only supposed safe area that I ordered you to go to by a much stronger force than you as an unarmed civilian, just to be told that you can’t be there anymore? After you lose everything, like your home, your memories, your friends, your family and loved ones, your job, and everything you have worked hard to achieve...

Amid these hardships, I see a glimmer of hope, because I haven’t given up yet.

If you know of any organizations, associations or entrepreneurs who support and fund projects, please do not hesitate to share my association with them.

They can also contact me directly.

I know that the path to success after destruction can be difficult, but with your help and support for me and my family, I can start over...

We have been deprived of our basic rights 🚫.

We don't get healthy or balanced food, and our immunity has become weak 🤒.

I walk for hours 🚶‍♂️ searching for and securing food, and most of the time, I don't find any food.

I have lost 32 kilograms of my weight in the past seven months.

Please help me evacuate my family. Every 1$ makes a difference in our lives

[ibtisams]

With all respect and appreciation, try as much as you can to support them and help me, so that I may be able to help my family before it is too late.

This is a legitimate gofundme, and I hope everyone will consider helping Mohammed and his family
