!! DONT SKIP !! donations urgently needed Please Help Save My Niece Asel’s Life 🍉💔

My name is Mohammed, and I am a math teacher from Gaza. My family and I have lost everything. We were forced to flee our home, and now we live in a tent, struggling to survive. But the pain that haunts me every day is not just our loss—it is the suffering of my precious niece, Asel. 😢

Asel is only a young child, but she has already endured horrors that no child should ever have to face. She lost her parents and siblings in an Israeli airstrike. 💥 The explosion took them from us in an instant, leaving Asel alone, broken, and traumatized. She is only a child, but she carries the weight of unbearable grief and fear every day. 💔😞

This fundraiser is vetted by butterflyeffect.project NUMBER 1013 on the spreadsheet here

Asel is like my daughter now. She holds onto me with the hope that I can protect her, that I can give her a future away from the bombs and violence that surround us. Every night, when she falls asleep in our makeshift shelter, I wonder if she will ever know the warmth and safety of a real home again. 🛏️🍉

The war in Gaza is destroying everything. It is tearing apart families, killing innocent children, and leaving countless others in despair. We are desperate to escape, to find safety in Egypt when the Rafah crossing opens again. But we cannot do it alone. We need your help. 🙏

We are reaching out for your support so that we can leave Gaza and start anew. Asel deserves to grow up in a place where she is safe, where she can heal from the trauma she has experienced, and where she can dream of a future filled with hope, not fear. 🌈 She deserves to go to school, to play, to smile without the weight of war on her shoulders. But we cannot give her that future without your help. ✨💖

Please, help us save Asel’s life. Help us get to safety before it’s too late. Every dollar you donate will bring us one step closer to a new beginning, where Asel can find peace, security, and a chance to rebuild her shattered life. 🏃‍♂️💨

If you cannot donate, please share our story. Spread the word so others can help. Every share counts. Asel’s future is in your hands. 🫶

Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your compassion. We are forever grateful for your support in this time of unimaginable need. 🙏💚🍉

Thank you for reading their story. Please don’t keep scrolling without sharing

[itsgonnarainlater]

answering a couple questions i got on this post since i realized ppl genuinely wanna know:

tl;dr:

israel lets very, very little aid get into gaza. even the UN can't get in as much as they want to. funding individual families, gazan led initiatives, and mutual aid collectives operating out of gaza ensures gazans can provide for themselves and pay for the extremely expensive aid that is available.

with all the civil infrastructure destroyed by israel, the situation on the ground has devolved into unrestricted capitalism, driving up the price of aid (that should be free!). this makes it more urgent for people to have funding for daily survival.

the post linked above has examples of how donating to individual families can help a lot. if you want to help more than one family at a time, there are many gazan-led initiatives focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure and distributing aid fairly that are worth donating to instead of large charities that already get the majority of donations.

as i mentioned in the last post: @/careforgaza on twitter is a nonprofit started by gazans, it's been endorsed by multiple palestinian journalists.

the sameer project is a collective organized by diaspora palestinians offering emergency shelter to gazans.

ele elna elak is a project aiming to bring water, food, shelter, etc. to gazans and has been promoted by bisan owda.

and the municipality of gaza itself is fundraising to rebuild water infrastructure.

all of these organizations are active inside gaza right now and are being run by gazans. if anyone knows of other gazan-led mutual aid projects, nonprofits or charities feel free to link them in the notes! hope this helped!

long answers under the cut!

if you wanna donate to a charity that's absolutely fine, but the thing is most charities (and even the UN!) are unable to make it into gaza in the first place, leaving aid rotting at the egyptian side of the border or subject to israeli settler attacks

not to mention, charities and nonprofits also maintain a paternalistic colonial relationship with the indigenous people they are trying to help, determining what aid they need for them instead of returning power to them and letting them make their own choices

i'm not here to say that one option is better than the other, just that they achieve different things and are equally legitimate. there's an attitude among people who question the legitimacy of these gofundme campaigns that somehow the people promoting them are telling them not to donate to charities. nobody is stopping you from donating to charities. we are just asking that you do not dehumanize the very real gazans in your inbox just because their method of asking for aid is more direct and risky.

unfortunately that's exactly what has happened. because israel destroyed all of gaza's more formalized infrastructure, it seems that organized crime and rampant inflation has taken its place. aid is supposed to be free, but in order to save for evacuation or the cost of living, people have started selling them at an inflated price. and aid that is truly free attracts intense, large crowds that are dangerous to navigate.

this was posted on abc a few days ago

it's pure, unrestrained capitalism. i've had multiple palestinians describe this situation to me confidence. that's why everything's so expensive now. why people have to rent out tiny plots of land for their tents to sit on, why my friend @siraj2024 still has to buy tarps to cover the broken windows of the overpriced bombed out apartment he rented, and why a bag of flour can cost a thousand bucks in the north.

even before israel closed and then bombed the rafah crossing, the egyptian hala travel agency was only allowing people to cross the border if they paid a hefty $5000 USD per adult / $2500 USD per child bribe. it denies doing this, but the hundreds of stories from palestinians say otherwise.

with regard to the economy, here in america we saw something similar happen in the wake of hurricane helene and milton. the podcaster margaret killjoy describes how she saw dual economies rise after asheville was fully cut off from the rest of the country - some people offered each other supplies for free in a sort of mutual aid honor system, and some people required payment when they lent supplies because they themselves needed to buy stuff for their families. these dual economies exist in gaza too. and this means they all still need money to survive.

link is not in my bio, but here instead.

naya, yamen, and their family haven't been getting any traction on their gofundme, and this sweet girl and her brother deserve a second chance at life.

naya's father ayman is an arabic teacher who works at an international american school in gaza. he loves his children more than anything. in 2009 he applied for asylum in norway, and was denied because 'gaza is safe'

the frustration ayman is feeling, wanting to help his children but being unable to because of extensive red tape, is completely understandable. israel is doing their best to make this as difficult as possible for everyone who wants to leave, and the only people who can make a difference right now are folks like you, who can help them directly.

you can help them, so please do. donate to their gofundme if you have means to skip a treat, and regardless, please share this post and press the buttons to boost engagement. we can get them out.

🚨Urgent help is needed for my family🚨

✅ Verified campaign – please check the end of the story 🔍📌

Hello, I am Ali. My account has been blocked twice, and I appeal to everyone who has a heart of mercy

I appeal to people who look at us with sympathy. Life is difficult that no one can imagine, and we have hope for you that my family will escape from this oppressor. As you know, there is no margin for life. They suffer from everything from fear, hunger, thirst, extermination, and what is more difficult than that is that I said cleanliness.

This is my family. As you can see, they wait for food every day. There is a big queue to get it. My family and I thank everyone who contributes to the hopes, even if it is just a little. And to the people who are not able to donate, we thank them for conveying our message to the supporters. Do not leave my family alone. Please help us. Please.

Help My Friend Amal!

I met Amal - @amlljom9 - when she came onto Tumblr searching for help, and she happened to find my blog. She's super sweet, very kind, and has far more patience than anyone should ever have to have under the conditions she is suffering.

She's a pharmacist, and even opened her own pharmacy in Gaza. Due to the genocide, she lost it all. Her family members are sick due to varying illnesses that have only been aggravated by long term exposure and psychological stress, including her sister in law Sarah, who had to have a caesarean with no anesthesia, and cannot feed her newborn. I cannot fathom the pain and the stress that would cause. Amal is certainly mourning it.

She is doing her best to fundraise, but she has not received much notice so far. Only $183 CAD is raised of her $20,000 goal. Her campaign is vetted by @gaza-evacuation-funds !

I am asking that we donate to my friend Amal. If we cannot donate, we can at least share for others to hear her story. 🙏🏾

[itsgonnarainlater]

Please help Ghadah and her family! Take the time to read through this post!

Today, I have been reached out to by Ghada Al-Madhoun ( @ghadahalmadhoun ) , a citizen of Gaza, whose life has been greatly affected by the genocide.

Not only have they lost their home and were forced to flee, but Ghadah's husband has also been lost to the conflict. They now live in a tiny, cramped tent; under the constant threat of violence and death, circumstances that no human being should have to live in. They have been displaced 6 times.

They seek to cross the Egyptian border to escape the genocide in Gaza, however they are short on funds, requiring 5,000 per person. As of now, they are only at 4,120 of their 50,000 goal. Please help these beautiful people. if you are unable to donate, sharing/reblogging is extremely helpful to this family's campaign.

https://gofund.me/42b35b77

FOR THOSE UNSURE OF LEGITIMACY OF CAMPAIGN:

The organizer of this campaign, Hind Al-Madhoun (who is Ghada's cousin), can be found on Facebook, with Ghada clearly in the friends list.

Here, attempts to spread her campaign have also been made

The account is not recent, and has been up since at least 2015.

As far as images, reverse image search is clean. This fundraiser appears to be legitimate. Please help this family, every donation matters!

Suffering of my family ... please give us your attention

All my family members are currently in Gaza: my brothers Ahmed, Osama, Moatasim, and Mohammed, along with their families, and my elderly parents. Ahmed's family includes three children: Qusay, Lyan, and Ayda. Osama's family also has three children: Yahya, Sewar, and Yamen. Moatasim’s family consists of two children: Maria and Aysha. Mohammed is 22 years old.

They once lived in safety and peace, each having their own home which provided them with happiness, warmth, and love. Ahmed and Osama worked as dental technicians, Moatasim was a delivery driver, and Mohammed was training to become a dental technician with the dream of opening his own practice.

Before the war, they led normal lives—visiting one another, going on trips, and sharing laughs and smiles. But everything changed on October 7, 2023, when war broke out in Gaza. This horrific conflict destroyed their lives, taking away their homes, jobs, safety, and dreams, and tragically claiming many of our relatives.

Two weeks into the war, my family was forced to flee their home in Tel Alhawa, escaping south to the Deir Albalah area to save their lives. Now, they live in tents with no access to water, electricity, sanitation, or food. These dire conditions have led to numerous health issues, especially for the children, including skin diseases and Hepatitis B infections.

Every day, my family struggles to survive in these appalling conditions. This has become a nightmarish reality. The funds raised by this campaign will be used to:

Provide Medical Care and Treatment: My parents urgently need medical support. My father has undergone heart catheterization due to blocked arteries, while my mother suffers from high blood pressure and heart problems. They require both medical attention and nutritious food.

Offer Health Treatment for Qusay, four-year child, who recently had a difficult throat operation, needs ongoing healthcare and speech therapy. His condition has left him struggling with speech difficulties, and he requires urgent speech therapy, healthy nutrition and Phycological treatment.

Supply Essential Living Needs: My family is without any means of income and is unable to afford basic necessities such as food, water, childhood needs, medicine, and cleaning products.

Rent a House Before Winter: Currently living in tents, my family faces the prospect of enduring harsh winter conditions without proper shelter. Renting a house before winter sets in is crucial to their survival and well-being.

Your donation and sharing my family campaign can make a significant difference during this devastating time. Thank you for your attention and generosity.

Help Mohammed get treatment

@mohammedalhabil19 is trying to raise money to get out of Gaza and get treatment for his leg. His campaign has been going very slowly, and I'm trying to help him get to at least €1,500 today, October 13. Only 21 people would need to donate €5 for him to meet this goal to buy a new tent.

He was vetted by association in this post.

i don't think most people realize how bad things in rafah have truly gotten. we all already know israel has desecrated its own vow that rafah would be the "safe zone" in every way imaginable, but i can't describe how gut-wrenching it is to read about 12 iof soldiers infiltrating the rafah crossing under the guise of an aid truck just a day or so ago. again--they entered rafah with the pretense that they would be supplying starved, displaced people food

this is just now breaking, but i can't fathom how many palestinians got lured out w the promise of feeding their families--only to massacred then and there, never to be heard from again. likely their bodies won't ever be returned to the families. how can anyone read this and not be absolutely horrified

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.
