My name is Hala, from Deir al-Balah, Gaza. I live with my four children, Abdul, Jaber, Mohammed, and Lian, and my mother-in-law, in a never-ending nightmare. Our home was bombed, and everything we had turned to ashes. Now, we live in a burnt house, with no safety or hope.

My husband, Adham, is stuck in Egypt, and I face this torment alone. My children suffer from hunger and illness, and we have nothing to protect them. Life here is unbearably difficult; every day is a struggle for survival.

I urgently need your help to raise $35,000 so we can escape, as each person requires $5,000. This money isn’t just numbers; it’s our hope for a new life away from pain and suffering. We are human beings who deserve to live, so please don’t let us drown in this nightmare.

Help us, as we are in desperate need of your support.

Hi guys!! @sami-onley has reached out to me to help promote his gofundme to help him evacuate himself and his family out of Gaza🙏Sami has a wife, kids, elders, siblings, ans they all raise 30k for a goal to get to the safety. Right now they reached only 3k and they really need your support

He is one the number 14 on Gaza Vitters list

Unfortunately, donations for palestinian families are really low, although the war is not over yet. If you can, please donate to save his family

[hoperaypegasus]

Save our life,please!!

🙏🏻💔🥹

I would like to tell you that I am from Gaza, where we now live under bombs, explosives, and warplanes from which we cannot sleep for many nights, and other things. This war has destroyed our bodies, our lives, and our souls. It has destroyed our homes, taken everything from us, destroyed all places, changed all landmarks, and changed our situation for the worse. We used to live fine. And peace and love of life, and here we live in hunger, fear, and terror, me, my children, and the rest of my family, and we do not have the minimum necessities for life, and we live in very dilapidated tents.We do not know how to act when winter comes upon us. We will be drowned by the rain and wind, and I will not know how to protect my children or my family, neither from the bombing nor from the winter.😭

Therefore, I beg you to help me so that I, my children, and my family can live and survive this hideous war🙏🏻🙏🏻

Donate a small amount, even if it is $20, for my children 🥺🫂

We used all the words of sadness and sorrow to describe the situation we had reached, but such words were not enough.

Hello friends 🍉

I am really very sad and very frustrated 🥺

If friends post a video about me and invite friends to help me, I will get more donations 🙏🏻

My campaign is going very slowly and the situation here is very bad and very miserable 😔

I work all day without getting paid 💔

Therefore, I am asking for your help to provide for my daughter,who was born in the war and is 5 months old. She needs milk and diapers, and the price is very high, about $90. And milk is $30

Where is your humanity, guys? Please be by my side in these difficult times 💔

I can't lie, I find it very odd that posts cautioning people against donating to individual* campaigns and promoting the idea of supporting mutual aid efforts and community kitchens in Gaza can rack up 10k+ notes--while a post promoting a community kitchen (that I can personally vouch for) struggles to get 1k notes, and has barely pulled in a couple hundred dollars over the past week.

I actively try to avoid using guilting tactics in fundraising, but this is weird to me. It's like people are using these posts as an excuse not to do things they already didn't want to do anyway, rather than actually taking their recommendations on board...

*In my experience, these campaigns often support large extended families + their neighbours

MAQMAP is a community kitchen aiming to support families in the Mawasi Al-Qarara area.

✨🎄Merry Christmas It’s a special day for giving 🎄🎁

If I knocked on your door with my 22-month-old child in my arms, crying from hunger, would you close the door and leave us suffering from hunger and cold without offering us a helping hand or even offering us a kind word that would come down to our hearts to heal the wounds of the war that has been going on for more than 14 months?

Would you leave us and continue your happiness with Christmas and your holiday without feeling a pang in your heart upon seeing us in such a condition, without offering any help? 🥹 💔💔

The truth is, we are not much different. We are knocking on your door now, hoping that your compassionate heart will extend a helping hand and provide us with our basic needs: food, medicine, and warmth. The only thing separating us is distance

Have you ever thought about our situation before? How do the people of Gaza survive under such conditions of killing, starvation, displacement, with the crossings closed, goods prices rising over 12 times, and all their belongings destroyed, leaving them with no income or shelter except fragile tents that cannot protect them from the cold or rain? Have you ever thought about this before? 💔😥

I will tell you, we are not dreaming of luxury! When your help reaches us, we can provide basic needs, healthy food, and medicine for my child and my mother-in-law. When it doesn’t, we suffer terribly, and many nights we go to bed hungry, waiting for your donations to fill our hunger, provide medicine, strengthen our resilience, and give us hope for a better tomorrow 🥺💔

We appeal to your humanity to provide any contribution, no matter how small, for every bit of support from you restores hope and eases our pain in these difficult times. Your generosity is our lifeline 🫂🙏

Dear generous donors 🌷🩵

There are no words to describe the depth of our gratitude and thanks for your donations that arrive each time like a lifeline in moments when we were on the brink of despair. 🙏🫂

I want to assure you that your donations go exactly where you expect them to. They help provide healthy food, baby formula, Winter clothes and blankets, and essential medications for my family. You cannot imagine the joy that fills our hearts when your donations arrive, as if the sun rises after a long darkness, bringing us hope for a better tomorrow and easing our worries, because we know that we will not go to bed hungry after days of hardship, when even getting bread seemed impossible. 💖✨

But the painful truth is that the food and flour run out after a few days, and our hope is renewed with every time we await your generous donations, hoping they will reach us soon. 💔🥺

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💚

For your information, the price of a sack of flour has exceeded $300, and the cost of our essential food and medication needs far exceeds that, but it certainly does not surpass your generosity and the kindness in your hearts.

VERY Important update about Marah's campaign!!!!!!

Hi all! Recently, Marah @mahrahpalestine has not only had her previous blog terminated, but her family has been unable to transfer money from GFM. This has been happening with quite a few Palestinian campaigns lately. I'm quite nervous as I've never done this before, but I will now be hosting their family's campaign on Chuffed, which is openly pro-Palestine!

Please let me know if you're having trouble donating to this campaign! I tried to make it identical to the GFM campaign so people know it's hers!

I am in contact with both Marah and her brother, Mahmoud, and we will make sure that the funds for this campaign transfer straight to their account in Gaza!!

Below is proof of the family's finances and inability to transfer money from the last campaign:

I am Alaa Salama , 30 years old, married to Nabila Jabr Salama, 28 years old. I have two children: Muhammad, 7 years old, and Sham, 6 years old.

I have a family that needs healthy food and clean water and I can't find them because of the siege and the closure of the crossings. They suffer from malnutrition, lack of medicine and the spread of skin allergies due to the extreme heat. This is a picture with the rest of my family. The war took all their dreams and ambitions. They were left without education and without shelter. Their fate has become unknown. A picture of them all. Unfortunately, time is not on our side, as the aggression on the Gaza Strip escalates every day. The sounds of explosions get louder the closer they get, and all family members feel terrified, especially the children.

regarding ICE as someone who has done some reporting on it and talked to both ICE and immigration lawyers

in different states, there are often different levels of law enforcement with ICE. california, for example, has the california values act and so in many jurisdictions, law enforcement is less likely to involve itself with immigration matters. pay attention to the history of your area's compliance with ICE. it also means law enforcement may not know ICE is around.

ICE vehicles do not have to be marked. oftentimes their enforcement and removal cars are not marked as "border patrol" or "ICE" or anything. their plates are usually "exempt" plates.

ICE officers are SUPPOSED to wear identifiable clothing and gear when performing operations, but are often in plainclothes, even during operations.

for reasons above, it might not be obvious that ICE is in your area or that a car you see is involved with ICE operations. FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES. trusted nonprofits and people who work with undocumented and nonstatus people will often be keeping tabs on ICE. law enforcement in some areas may know as well. find out if ICE is in your area through vetting sources and then keep tabs on them too.

try to provide information in as many languages as you can.

tell people: ICE NEEDS A JUDICIAL WARRANT TO ENTER YOUR HOME--not one signed by a higher up ICE official, it MUST be signed by a judge. ICE may insist that they don't need a warrant, that they operate differently. they are using scare tactics.

lastly, regardless of your immigration status: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. you can access the Immigration Legal Resource Center's red cards page, which can express your rights in a legally defensible way when ICE comes to your door. print some for your community. distribute them to people. they can be a useful resource! (https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas)

stay safe and protect each other, especially the most vulnerable groups among us.

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.

The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

64.media.tumblr.com

64.media.tumblr.com

64.media.tumblr.com

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.

Our Current Situation:

💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.

How You Can Help:

I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.

Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.

What This Means to Us:

Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.

Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.

With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️

oh my god...

so the first screenshot is trying to look this up on tiktok normally, "donald trump rigged election" and it says that search violates community guidelines.

the second screenshot is looking up the same exact thing, but with a (australian) vpn on. canadian vpn didn't fix it fyi.

THIS is exactly the type of censorship to be looking out for on tiktok. this actually is crazy.

We do not know whether we are human beings like you. Do you feel what we feel...or are we dead to you? Do we not have rights? You eat good food. You eat chicken, meat, and everything that is delicious. We wish for good food to eat. We have reached the point where we eat tree leaves. Your children have not experienced the feeling. To not eat food for a whole day or two. What is the feeling of a breastfeeding mother who needs food for her child and there is no food? Try to save me and my family. Cooperate with me as if they are your children. Your donation, even if it is small, may wake me up. Do not hesitate to send a donation and pray for me and my family to survive the war of genocide and death. Thank you for your cooperation

"I am Najwa, a mother of three children: Yazan, Fadi and Ahmed. I used to live in Gaza, own a house that I consider my heaven, and work as a teacher. But the war left me with nothing; I lost my job😭😭 and had to flee with my family.

In search of safety, I have only one dream: to keep them safe.😭😭😭

We lived in my family's house, until November 12, 2024, a day I will never forget as long as I live. It was a day like the Day of Judgment; 😭 Our house was bombed, and turned into rubble. We were screaming from the rubble, our voices filling the place, until the ambulances came.

Alive. My children got out unharmed, my husband suffered a facial injury, but the tragedy was greater; my husband lost 11 members of his family, while others escaped with wounds that would not heal.

We are here, we may have survived physically, but our souls are still under the rubble, and we are still fighting the struggle of life every day. After we removed some of the rubble, we found no place to take refuge except to set up a tent in front of the house, to live in it among the remains of our memories.

In the midst of war, time passes unbearably slowly, and fear, sadness, and hope mix. I wake up every day to the sounds of explosions and the smell of smoke. I don’t know if my day will start with calm or with a journey in search of safety among the sounds of

It's not an ordinary life; it's a struggle for survival, where the simplest things become difficult. In this place, dreams fade away and become just a distant thought, and all I think about is that the day passes peacefully. I hope to help me and my family to stay aliveness.
