🛑 A Call from Gaza : Hope Amidst the Suffering

Imagine a person who has been running for an entire year without a moment of rest, staying awake without a moment of sleep, living in fear without a moment of safety, screaming without a moment of calm, starving without a moment of fullness, thirsty without a moment of relief, calling for help without a moment of rescue, grieving without a moment of solace, and dying without a moment of life; this is the reality for two million people in Gaza.

I am trying to raise funds for my brother Yasser and my family. With your effort and support, I have managed to raise £1672. I ask for your continued support for me, my brother, and my family in Gaza as we face this devastation. From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone who has donated and participated. Your support brings us a glimmer of hope in the midst of this suffering, helping us carry on.

Thank you for every effort you have made; you are the reason our lives are moving toward a better future.

Very Low On Funds!

Currently £730 away from £2,500 as a short term goal please consider donating even just £5, £10, or £200 to help the fundraiser along further! And reblog/ share the campaign so that others who can donate may see it!

PayPal's link to donate via PayPal will be for my family at the moment

Hello, I'd like to draw your attention towards the fundraising efforts of Samah Aburakhia (@aburakhiaibrahim), who is displaced with his family in Gaza amidst truly horrific circumstances.

Samah's family consists of 28 people, 15 of whom are children who have been deprived of an education and basic necessities for nearly an entire year now.

Samah is trying to raise the funds necessary for his family's survival, but donations have been incredibly slow, and his campaign is suffering from extreme stagnation. So far, they have raised $5,605 CAD out of a $50,000 CAD goal. They received only one donation yesterday, and the one before that was eleven days ago.

Please consider donating if it is within your means. $5 CAD is equivalent to roughly $3.70 USD, and will go a long way in providing this family with material help in the face of the exorbitant prices of food, water and shelter. Not only that, but you will be giving them hope that they will be able to rebuild their lives from this devastation. I hope we can all work together to help Samah and his family as much as we can!

This campaign has been vetted and shared here.

Hello! I'm making a post for my friend Mohamed @stlentshark, who lives in Gaza and has created a campaign to help his family, specifically his younger brother, Yasser.

Yasser's hearing became impaired when he was young, and as a result he underwent an operation to have a cochlear implant installed. However, Yasser is now unable to charge this crucial implant reliably or consistently due to the lack of electricity, and it has become damaged as a result of the extreme conditions he is living in. Yasser is losing his ability to communicate as effectively as he used to. I cannot imagine how isolating this must be, compounded by the conditions he and his family are enduring.

Mohamed is hoping that he will be able to raise the money necessary to repair Yasser's hearing device, but his campaign is new and therefore very low on donations. A contribution of even £5 will make a significant difference here.

In addition to helping Yasser, these funds will go towards assisting Mohamed's family afford the daily costs of living, which have become truly exorbitant in Gaza.

I feel very lucky to call Mohamed my friend. He dedicates a lot of his time towards helping run the blog @/gaza-evacuation-funds, for which he personally vets campaigns in need of our help. He has done so much to help people in need, and I hope we can now show the same generosity towards him. Let's all work together to help Mohamed and his family!

£15/£60,000

tumblr just deleted a huge swathe of palestinians who were on here trying to fundraise. if you've been helping any of these fundraisers please take this time to 1) check in with palestinians you're in contact with 2) help them submit support requests if needed 3) keep these campaigns circulating while the beneficiaries are being silenced. these campaigns are life or death, this isn't just social networking. do not let these fundraisers languish.

mohammed iwais (verified) is still the sole provider for his 27 family members, including his siblings and their young kids. his sister is recovering from a quadcopter bullet wound; she's been able to start walking again, but this is still a very difficult time, especially since medicine is prohibitively expensive in gaza right now. on top of that, the whole family is bracing for the changing weather, which will add to their daily expenses just for survival.

they need roughly 7.3k USD to get to their next goal. remember to check the conversion rates! 10 USD = 103 SEK

take a few minutes to donate an eSim if you have $10-34 to spare! the website gives instructions, it's easy and is a tremendous help!

Words cannot express how utterly disappointed I am when it comes to helping Sudan. People are hesitant to show their support. They would even dismiss it. No, I am not making this shit up. I have been talking to people about Sudan and their reaction is lacklustre!

I know anti-blackness plays a significant role, along with the lack of media coverage (which is, again, due to anti-blackness), but this is unacceptable. Many people are dying. The country going through a flooding. Homes are destroyed. Families are displaced. Famine is claiming more lives than the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) and SAF (Sudanese Armed Forces) combined.

They need our help!

There is one way you can show your support! Kindly have a look at this fundraiser. It belongs to Eman Abdelrahman (@emooz-8). She is a 25 year old Sudanese and she is raising funds to evacuate. She has been campaigning since January of this year, but she struggles to receive donations to this day! The last one was made 2 DAYS AGO!

Let's pick up the pace and aim for a doable goal once again - 30K in 3 days! As of writing this (Sept 9th), 29,517 CHF has been raised! There is only 483 CHF left to go! Please check your currency exchange. It is in Swiss Franc! ($10 USD = 8 CHF)

There is also a fundraiser for her extended family. Please keep in mind that it is in Singaporean Dollars, so double check with your currency exchange! ($10 USD = $13 SGD)

You can even match me! I've given 5 CHF and $5 SGD!

Thank you!

Emergency: Help Evacuate My Family From GAZA WAR

Dear Humanity,

I'm Haya from Gaza , from a family of 8 people: my parents, two sons, and four daughters (two of them suffer from allergies).

I've witnessed the evidence of the tragedy that has struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I have survived amidst numerous previous wars. But today, we face the most dangerous and fierce battle in the current war. The urgent need intensifies for us, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs such as food, water, and safe shelter.

Here is our story - On October 7th, our lives changed forever, my family and I evacuated from northern Gaza to southern Gaza, hoping to return soon, but it wasn't meant to be. Our home was surrounded, burned, and then completely destroyed, Our home, once a fortress of hope, now lay in ruins, a stark reminder of our shattered dreams.

The night before we left from the north to the south was terrifying. Shelling sounds were everywhere, making a loud noise that felt like it went through our souls. Every explosions shook the ground like earthquakes, sending shockwaves of fear through our trembling bodies. filling us with fear. The air smelled of destruction and blood, making it hard to breathe. When dawn came, we saw the devastation around us, realizing our home was now a symbol of loss and despair.

We ran into the streets and with each step we took into the unknown streets, we felt as if we were plunging deeper into the abyss of our shattered existence, leaving behind everything we own in our home: Clothes, important official documents, the car, and literally it's almost everything - the enormity of our loss weighed heavily upon us.

Our home it was where we found hope, safety, and made precious memories. Losing it felt like losing years of our lives, leaving us adrift amidst the wreckage of our shattered existence.

A brief video depicting the devastation that struck our home and our entire neighborhood in Gaza.

Desperate Plea: Escaping Gaza's Allergy Nightmare

I, Haya, suffer from severe allergy to penicillin-derived medications, and my sister, Amal, also suffers from severe allergies to medications from my family such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.

These allergies create a deep sense of fear and anxiety for us, as we live in a constant state of tension and fear of anything that may require a visit to the hospital. We fear being given inappropriate medications due to the unavailability of suitable treatments in Gaza because of war or lack of awareness and not informing the doctor of our allergies, which could lead to serious consequences threatening our lives.

MY Father Income

Our dreams are heading towards oblivion in the labyrinth of an uncertain future

My story, along with my siblings, represents a united team of four individuals, three of whom are skilled programmers and one graphic designer. We work as freelancers in the world of freelancing.

As for my younger sister, she is a student studying at the College of Architecture. She has always carried a big dream in her heart, a dream of being part of changing Gaza, of making it more beautiful and better. She looked forward to the day when she would receive her degree and start building this dream. But the beginning of the war changed everything. The destruction of infrastructure and universities cast shadows of despair over her dreams.

When I think of my brother in Belgium, I can't help but feel deep sadness. He has been suffering from unbearable anxiety and insomnia since the outbreak of the war. Sleep eludes him at night, and his physical and mental health collapses under the weight of these heavy burdens, negatively affecting his performance at work. Problems and challenges pile up in front of him without the slightest opportunity for rest.

We all feel psychological pressure and extreme anxiety. The war hasn't been limited to external attacks but has deeply infiltrated our daily lives. We search among the rubble for a little safety and the basic resources for survival. Every day comes with a new challenge that we must overcome.

As we sway amidst the rubble of shattered dreams, our souls wrestle and our hearts beat strongly challenging the ravages of war.

Our parents earnestly seek a way to rescue us from this hell, feeling the heavy responsibility for every moment we spend under the shadows of fear and destruction. They dream of a safe place where they can build for us a better future, filled with security and hope, for we deserve life in all its meanings of comfort and peace.

Perhaps this fundraising campaign represents a light in the midst of darkness, it is indeed the only hope we cling to firmly.

I appeal to the world as a whole to hear my cry and the mournful cry of my family in Gaza. We need the helping hand that reaches out to wipe our tears and build a bridge to safety.

Your donation is not just a donation; it's an opportunity to rebuild life and brighten a better tomorrow. Be part of our hopeful story, for we need your hand to start anew.

The purpose of the fundraising campaign

The goal of this fundraising campaign is to rescue my family - my parents, my siblings, and me - through the Rafah Crossing to Egypt, which currently requires $5000 per person. This campaign is our only chance to stay alive, and I humbly request your assistance at this critical time. I will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the expenses, committing to transparency and clarity.

My name is Aya, I'm 29 years old. I'm married to Jihad, who is 32, and we have three beautiful children: Abdelrahman (7 years old), Jori (5 years old), and Adam (2 years old). We live in the northern part of Gaza.

Abdelrahman, Adam, and Jori are the heartbeat of my heart and the light of my life.

Abdelrahman: the lion of the house, the helpful and loving boy to his siblings and family.

Jori: my beloved girl, the one closest to my heart, and my little mini-me.

Adam: my little hero and my spoiled child.

Since the onset of the latest war in Gaza, our home has been completely destroyed, forcing us into displacement. We’ve had to move more than thirteen times in search of safety. During this harrowing journey, we faced severe hunger and malnutrition that nearly took my life and the lives of my children. Additionally, we were exposed to numerous contagious diseases and dangerous epidemics.

Before: This is our home, our dream, and our promising future.

My children have to travel long distances just to get water and stand in line for hours to get food. Their mental health has been shattered by the war, their education has come to a halt, and they have suffered from catastrophic hunger that almost claimed their lives.

After: This is our home, built with our sweat and effort, and it has been completely destroyed.

The Right to a Peaceful Life

My children deserve to live a peaceful life free from fear and anxiety. I dream of your help to support my family and escape this genocide. Your assistance means the world to me and my children.

Your donations can be a beacon of hope for us. Every dollar can help save my children's lives and give them a chance to live in peace. Your prayers for us to overcome this ordeal and lift the siege are greatly needed.

From Gaza to Ireland: Out of the Fire of War to the Fire of Soul-Crushing Survival Guilt and Fear for my Family

Note: My main account (@mahmoudkhalafff) was unfortunately terminated by Tumblr for no reason. This is my back up account. Please continue to boost my campaign. We are too close!

Note: Scammers track my social media platforms stealing my pictures and using them to their advantage! Be careful please!

At times of peace, having to be away from your family for months and years is a high price you pay for obtaining an academic degree or securing a better job. Imagine while you are away, they were trapped in a besieged strip of land and thousands of missiles rained down on that besieged area of 360 km² around the clock for almost 11 months. That would crush every cell of your mind and drive you crazy, wouldn't it?!

Imagine suddenly getting addicted to watching the news and the gory videos and pictures all the freaking time. You follow relevant social media pages that only show images, videos, and stories of entire families that were wiped out in an instant in an airstrike and deemed as collateral insignificant damage. While plunging deeper and deeper into an unprecedented state of acute depression, I wondered: how come all my suffering from displacement, fear, and hunger in Gaza for 5 months during the war before being evacuated to Ireland is nothing but a drop compared to my ocean of suffering now?

The constant thinking of my family in Gaza during the genocide and all the potential scenarios is consuming my sanity and mental health at a time in my life and a place where I am required to be 199% focused and productive. To give you a glimpse of my horrible psychological suffering these days: I fear going to sleep because I know horrible horrible nightmares are waiting for me on the other side. Some have to do with the horrors of wars I witnessed in Gaza myself and others relate to the horrible potential scenarios I keep thinking about.

Seeing the images and pictures of Gaza makes you think a thousand earthquakes hit every neighborhood of the Gaza Strip! Nothing and no one has been spared. The horrific war has turned the place into a hell on earth, unfortunately. How can young people have any hope for a better future seeing the mass destruction and the relentless Israeli efforts to stifle Gaza and squeeze hope out of its people as a form of collective punishment. How monstrous and heartless!!!

Amid all this chaos and madness, my number one priority and focus is evacuating my family to Egypt as a first step and hopefully reuniting with them in Ireland at a later stage.

Please do consider helping me save my family by donating, reblogging, and sharing.

this is not normal. Palestinian students the same age as me or in many cases even YOUNGER shouldn’t have to be online 24/7 advocating for their families just so they have some money to buy food and buy a tent after their old one was destroyed by a drone strike. please don’t be desensitized by this. there is an onslaught of atrocities being committed by israel every single day but we have to keep standing up for Palestinians.

the students on my dash… they’re all so young they have aspirations they have hopes. but now they need to wake up at the crack of dawn to line up at the food distribution center not knowing if there’s a sniper somewhere watching them. this is horrific

Urgent!! Help Alaa seek treatment for Hepatitis B

I cannot believe that even after 2 weeks we have not managed to raise 10k for Alaa al-Amsee ( @alaakh99 ) !!

She is a Palestinian mother, who has been suffering terribly from hepatitis for more than a month. She was already malnourished and sick from having to eat breads made out of animal feed and now, she is vomiting continuously.

Alaa is afraid for her 2 children, who depend on her. Maria is only 6 years old and Hamza is 4. Alaa writes that her son does not know the taste of a restful sleep as he is both terrorized by the sound of explosions and tired from the pain of skin infections.

Currently at €7,205 / €100,000. She needs 10k by Sunday i.e. within 2 days! 

Funds coming in would mean she can  go consult a doctor for both herself and her son. 

The more the funds are delayed, the longer she and her family would suffer. So please don't ignore this. Participate in raffle and donate anything you can spare. Reblog if you can't.

Hello everyone,

Let's help my friend, Bilal Salah (@bilal-salah0)! He is a 22 year old Palestinian who is living in Germany. Unfortunately, his stay there has been nothing but awful. He has been evicted and terminated from his work as immigration revokes his visa. He finds himself getting deported! Since then, he has been searching for a lawyer, a place to stay, and work to do, while he raises funds for his family's evacuation. 

You can read more about it here. 

Now, things are looking up for him. He will no longer be deported, and he has found an apartment to live in! At the same time, I have been speaking to Bilal over the past week or so. He is such an incredible person. He has been telling me, along with showing me pictures, of how much time and effort he makes the best out of his situation. He is learning German, searching for a job, studying for his driver’s license, and has been teaching me how to speak Palestinian Arabic! And he is doing all of this at 22 years old! 

Despite it all, Bilal has informed me that his former employer has extorted €4,800, claiming that he still owes them money. This leaves Bilal with no other option but to withdraw funds from his campaign since he does not have income. He also has to pay for expensive transfer fees to send money to his family in Ghazzah!

Click here to read more about it. 

So please show him compassion and kindly give what you can. He works so hard, carrying so much on his shoulders, and it would be great if we could lift the burden! We need to raise the total amount of €110,000 by September 15th. Let’s try to achieve it before then!

As of writing this, €103,909 has been raised! 

There is only €6,091 left to go and 8 days remaining!
