Hi, if I could stop you for a moment, please go help @ghostlyhottubdreamland. Ibrahim Sheikh Salama, his wife and four children are trapped in Gaza. Their home was completely destroyed by bombings, and they have been forced to flee over eight times in search of any safety, yet these safe zones are continuously and relentlessly attacked by the genocidal Israel! During these attacks, Ibrahim’s mother was severely injured, and was transferred to Egypt to receive medical treatment. However, Ibrahim cannot fincinally support these surgeries, because he and his family are experiencing a genocide! During this horrifying situation, Ibrahim’s wife had to give birth, terrified for herself and her family, with almost no medical support or resources! This should have been a happy time for them, but due to Israel, they are filled with fear and terror! They need our help to afford vital necessities, afford medical treatment for Irahim’s mother, evacuate to Egypt and support themselves. They are now at $284 of their €50K target, and their last donation was four days ago!!! Please donate anything you can to support this family. If you are unable to donate, share their campaign with as many people as possible and make posts to help bring more attention to it and reach others who can donate.

✅️ Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #286 ) ✅️
Hi, I’m Tareq from Gaza 🇵🇸, a father to three innocent and beautiful daughters: Sham, Masa, and Wateen. 👶🏻
I haven't even reached 1% of my goal 🥺, and I am urgently seeking people who can share my campaign consistently to help me reach as many supporters as possible. I would be deeply grateful if you could add my campaign to your list, if you have one. 📄
I’m reaching out to you from the depths of despair, as my family and I face unimaginable suffering. The war has taken everything from us—our home, our safety, and even our ability to provide the basic necessities of life. We now live in a fragile tent that can barely shield us from the bitter cold. My daughters are sick, shivering in the freezing nights, and there’s no clean water or food to ease their pain. 🥺
As a father, there’s no greater agony than watching your children suffer, knowing you cannot protect them. I never imagined I would have to beg for help, but I’ve exhausted every other option. I’m pleading with you to help save my family’s lives. A small donation of just $20 could make the difference between life and death for us. 🕊️
Your kindness could bring us warmth, food, and clean water—basic human needs that we’ve been deprived of. Please, if you can, donate through the link in my bio (GoFundMe 🍉). Together, we can give my daughters a chance to live, to dream, and to survive this nightmare. ✨❤️

Please support this campaign for Gaza's children and elderly! It's spearheaded by a father in Gaza who works hard on distributing aid within his camp. Getting a supply of diapers is especially critical because they're costing $65-$75 per pack and so parents are resorting to makeshift cloth diapers that are giving their babies rashes.

What were you doing with your life when you were 19? Maybe you were in college, or you were working full time? Maybe you both studied and worked, or maybe you were an intern somewhere. Or maybe you were just figuring out what you wanted from life!
Mounir Alanqar @amany-sham10 is 19, but he isn't able to do any of these things. Instead, he is recovering from surgery, while suffering from hunger and frigid winter weather. He and his family have been stuck in Ghazzah for over a year, struggling with hunger, exposure, pain, trauma, and fear. Now, they are suffering from the cold of winter in a tent, and struggle to get the food and water they need to survive.
So far, Mounir and his family have only managed to raise €3,479 (just 10% of their goal) despite having been raising funds since August! Donations have slowed down recently, and sometimes Mounir and his family will go for days without a single donation! They can't afford for this to continue. They urgently need support to purchase the food, clothing, and blankets needed to survive this winter.
Mounir and his family deserve to live. I implore you, whatever you can do to support them, please do so! Share and donate, anything you can give helps!

Help save a Palestinian family this Christmas!
Tumblr media
Hello! @fadel-dani had reached out to me again to post about his campaign, which at the time of writing this is only at €639/€10k of his goal, to which I thank everyone as well who had helped and shared so far! His previous campaign was suspended, leaving him to make an entirely new one. His campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters (#197 on their spreadsheet)
Fadel and his family have moved more than five times now due to the occupation, and Fadel, a third year IT student, had to register to study remotely as his university has been destroyed. What's worse is that he has been hospitalized and had to undergo surgery to remove the shrapnel from his body, and still has to leave Gaza in order to treatment to remove the rest of it.
I hope that you will share or donate if you can, as well as pray for his recovery and survival this Christmas, for him and his family and for everyone in Palestine! Thank you!

Majd has a respiratory illness. He's the son of @youseffamily2 and he's displaced in Gaza, where everything has become extremely expensive and access to proper healthcare and medicine has become very difficult. On top of that, he now also has a skin disease that's spreading throughout his entire body. He's only one year old, and he is suffering so much. His parents urgently need donations to afford his treatment
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Right now their campaign is at €38,257/€50,000. Donations are coming in very slowly, and this is very urgent, so please donate if you can! Share the campaign even if you can't donate. Every little thing helps!
This campaign has been verified by the Butterfly Effect Project, line 406 in their spreadsheet

Please follow and support @hyamfamely. Muhammad, his wife and two children, Zaen and Yahya, are trapped in Gaza during this genocide! They were forced to leave their home and are now living in inhumane conditions, in constant fear! They have lost so much, and we need to help them! The prices of everything in Gaza have risen enormously, making it practically impossible to buy anything, even food or water! They are trying to raise funds to afford the vital necessities they need to survive and to evacuate. Their campaign is now at €4,577 of their €60K! If you can spare anything, even €1, it will get them closer to finding safety and rebuilding their lives. If you are unable to donate, share their story with everyone you know and make posts to help get their campaign to more and more people who can donate.

While this might be a simple poll for many of us, Gazans do not have the luxury to sit and think if they like winter. The rain which swept through Gaza a few weeks ago washed away many of the tents which were situated by sea-side and thus destroyed resources that were acquired after months of raising funds. My friend Amal Ashour ( @amalashuor ) urgently needs to replace the soggy blankets and she needs to buy warm clothes for winter too. It is dreadfully cold right now and Amal is worried about her little daughter Mariam. She requires these funds to keep her daughter safe during these terrible months of winter. Additionally it has been hard to access any rations. A month ago when I spoke to Amal, she said that flour bags were costing around $150 USD- this has increased to almost $250 USD now!! That too at a time when Amal is not only bearing the responsibility for her own little family, but she is also helping out her extended family as well. So please boost and please donate to Amal's fundraiser. She is going through an extremely difficult time and is responsible for more than twenty people.
Currently at €57,156. Help out however you can. No donation is too small.
Verification #175
Please understand that Amal needs to provide rations and blankets and mattresses to all of her family members. It is a huge task and needs your active participation.

Stop for a moment and read the fourth line.
While you feel warmth, walk in safety, and live your normal life, I am here in Gaza, waking up to the endless sounds of explosions.
While you take a peaceful breath, I go without food for days, hunger gnawing at my body, and I can't even give my children anything to ease their pain.
While you turn on your tap, I search for a drop of water, and the cold bites through our worn-out tent💔
How can you live in this safety while we fight just to stay alive? Can you imagine for just a moment what it's like to be in our shoes?😭
We need you now more than ever.

I am Kareman Palestinian mother and children's teacher , and I live with my husband Ayman and my son Hamoud in an unending hell since October 7th, 2023.
The war has destroyed everything in our lives. We used to live a simple life, but it was full of hope. Now, all that remains for us is fear and suffering. The school where I worked has been destroyed, my husband's boat, which provided for us, is now just rubble, and we have nothing left.
We now live in a tattered tent that offers no protection from the freezing cold or the constant bombings surrounding us. Every night, we sleep hearing the sounds of explosions, never knowing if we will wake up to a new dawn. As for food, it has become a luxury we can no longer afford. The price of flour has exceeded $350, and the milk for my son Hamoud is only available to me at $125, which is what we need just to survive.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite all these challenges, we live with only one hope: to evacuate when the crossing is opened. But the cost of evacuation exceeds $45,000, a huge sum that we do not have. We need your help now more than ever. Every small donation is a chance for us to stay alive, and every support from you is the only hope for us to escape this hell.
Every time we remember the displacements and the shells falling around us, we wonder: Will there ever be a day when we can escape this suffering? Will there be a day when we can provide food for our children in a safe place? We only want a chance to survive, a chance to escape this hell😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Please, do not leave us in this darkness😔🙏
Help us live, because every new moment in this hell is a challenge to stay alive😭🫂

this is a comic my dear friend @wolf-aid had made using batman both because he’s a very dear character to me and because we are hoping that a popular character will bring more attention to the comic itself.
the comic says most of what i can say already — but i’ll say it again. ibrahim is an incredibly sweet young man who i’ve been close friends with for a few months now. he and his family need help to be warm, to eat, to get medicine, and to survive — hopefully soon they can escape their awful circumstances.
please have a heart: donate what you can, reblog this post, and pay attention to ibrahim’s campaign.

Today is Rafif's birthday! She's turning 9 today! Wishing for her to have many many more birthdays in safety, peace, and joy in a free Palestine. Drew a Barbie for her since Ameera told me she loves Barbie toys!
It would mean the world if you could send her well wishes and donations to her family's fundraiser dedicated to their survival in Gaza 🕊🩷 A Barbie doll typically sells for around $15 (from what I found online), so imagine if everyone seeing this was able to pitch in that amount to their fundraiser!

Our Story Through the Eyes of Ronza, the Six-Month-Old;
A story I drew for @zinaanqar
Ronza is the youngest child of Dina and Ahmed Alanqar, born amidst the Gaza's devestation. In all of the six months that she has lived so far, she has never known a day without the threat of weather, disease or explosions. Nobody should live this life, especially not a little baby.
But you can change that for her. You can donate just €5, and it will help this little girl and her family get a chance at a new beginning.
Even if you cannot donate, sharing this around will be a great asset in saving the lives of the Alanqar family
DONATION LINK
VERIFICATION LINK (264)
€83,248/€100,000 as of Dec 24th

"Trapped Dreams"
.help me family🍉🍉
https://gofund.me/409f63bb
In a small corner of Gaza, where the lights fade and darkness falls, Mahmoud sat alone, thinking. He was a young man like any other, dreaming of a better future, a safe home, and a job that would provide him and his family with a decent life. But the dream turned into a nightmare, and life into a daily struggle for survival.
Mahmoud's family, which includes 43 members, lived under the burden of siege and war. They lost their homes, and watched their dreams fade before their eyes. Every day was a new challenge, searching for a living amidst the lack of water and electricity, and the fear of bombing that could come at any moment.
Tumblr media
"I saw hope in the eyes of my children, but the siege was taking it away from them little by little," Mahmoud says sadly. "They wanted to play in the streets, and go to school, but all that surrounded them was destruction and fear."
Mahmoud's dream now is simple, to get his family out of this hell, and to start a new life in a safe place. But the costs of migration are high, and far beyond their means.
Noha is a story of courage and determination. She reminds us that disability is not a barrier, and that anything is possible if you are determined enough.
“We need your help,” Mahmoud says, his voice trembling. “We need a chance to build a better future for our children.”
