I'm writing again to bring attention to the GFM campaign of @nourfamily1989, a mother of five in Gaza.
Since the last update, the situation for Nour and her family has gotten a lot worse. The area they've been seeking refuge in has been subject to intense bombing, and they've had to flee again in the middle of the night, with no idea where to go or what awaits them.
The despair Nour is describing is heartbreaking:
We see death every day, every minute, and every second??? We can no longer endure all this suffering, and my children are no longer children. Rather, they have become adults. After all this suffering, they have not taken any of their rights. Rather, they have lost their lowest rights. They have to bear what no grown-up person could bear. How long will all this torment and destruction that we live in?? Every day we move from place to place and we do not know where to go and where to go. There is no safe place for us. Every place is targeted and there is no safety. Please help my children from this bitter torment. Please save us from this destruction. There is no home. There is no future for my children. All their dreams are shattered.
Nour has repeatedly said on her blog that she hates having to ask for help, but that, for the sake of her children, she no longer has a choice.
Let's make sure her pleas now don't go unanswered.
You can make a big difference to the family even with a small donation. If you can't donate, then please help by sharing.

For vetting info, see this post by @/killy.
Over the course of a week, we've been able to raise a little over $5,000. Let's aim to reach the next $5,000 milestone as soon as possible, so that if the Rafah crossing reopens in the near future, the family will have the funds necessary to evacuate.
As you all are aware, this blog explicitly stands with Palestine during the yet ongoing genocide done by Israel. Because I've made my stance clear, several Palestinians on Tumblr have reached out to me to help spread their campaigns and get them aid. I've tracked down verifications for as many as i could, and will list them all here with links and update this list should another be sent in.
I cannot stress this enough. As of writing this, the siege on Gaza has been happening for almost a year. Most non-profit organizations at this point have incredibly limited reach in the area (if they still have any at all), and thus the most surefire way of helping is via sending money directly to those impacted. If you for whatever reason doubt the legitimacy of a campaign listed here, I humbly request you keep it to yourself. I cannot decide for you what you do with your money, but I can ask of you that you have respect for people struggling and be considerate.
