ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

🚨 Urgent Appeal 🍉

Hello generous people of the world 💫❤️!!

My name is Akram and This is my twin brother Malek. We were high school students (Tawjihi) when the war started on former October 7th ..

All these pictures were drawn by my friend @vilecrocodile , thanks alot dear 💕🕊️..

Me and My family have been trapped in the genocide for the last year.

Living in Gaza is a daily struggle for survival. It's not just the challenge of waking up each day wondering whether my family and I will make it through another round of airstrikes, but the deeper worry of whether we will ever have a future beyond this war zone.

My heart is broken after my home was destroyed due to the war in Gaza 😢. All I dream of is escaping this tragic situation with my family so we can resume our lives and continue my education.

As a young person, Education is our greatest hope-a way to rise above the circumstances we were born into, to build a life of purpose, and to help my family escape the horrors of ongoing violence and potential genocide.

But here, in Gaza, education feels like a dream slipping further away each day.

The schools and universities have all been destroyed, and I fear staying here will mean losing the chance for an education as well as the lives of those I love.

It's a constant fear that gnaws at me.

Opportunities are few, and the constant threat of escalating violence makes even planning for the future feel futile.

This is why I am asking for your help:

I want to raise funds to escape this cycle of despair and pursue an education abroad, where I can study in peace, grow, and contribute to a better world. I dream of learning in a place where I don't have to worry if my school will be bombed or if I will make it home safely.

With your support, I can relocate with my family to a place where we are no longer seen as targets but as people with hopes, dreams, and the potential to contribute meaningfully to society.

This fundraiser is not just for my education; it's a lifeline for my family and me. I want to study fields like international relations or humanitarian work, so I can return one day and help others in situations like mine, advocating for peace and justice in a region torn apart by violence.

Please help me break free from this cycle of violence. Your support can make all the difference-giving me the opportunity to survive, to learn, and to fight for a future that so many of us here are desperately trying to grasp.

Thank you for your time and generosity.
