what I wish people would understand about fundraising for gaza is that while everyone is desperate and I would never say not to fundraise for or donate to individual families-- I currently fundraise to support multiple friends' families-- the overwhelming narrative I see on Tumblr that the best and most ethical thing you can do is send money to individuals and there is no option for anything else is so so incredibly damaging and inadvertently lends support to the marginalization and distrust of any remaining communal social infrastructure. the sameer project, which you should donate to, talks about this in a recent video they put out. the situation in gaza is unimaginable and everyone is in need of a huge level of support, and yet this fundraising discourse by well-meaning people in the west that donating money to individuals is the only moral way reproduces societal divides wherein resources are directed to people who speak English, who have relationships with people outside of gaza, and who have internet access while hundreds of thousands are left behind.
there ARE non-ngo locally based grassroots initiatives working to meet those needs however they can, and your small donation goes a lot further with them because they are able to buy food/water/supplies in bulk at a reduced price and reach more people with less money. again I'm not saying people shouldn't fundraise for individuals because these initiatives are so limited and many people cannot access them -- but as an example, the group I fundraise with is currently serving people fleeing north gaza who are starving and have nothing, and when we fundraise enough to do cash aid distribution there's so much need that our partners can only distribute 100-200 per large family. and then I go online and see people who have absolutely no understanding of this context at all exclusively working towards raising tens of thousands for just a few people when evacuations haven't been possible for months. it's good to do whatever you can but please consider how this narrative being reproduced among westerners trying to help that there are no other options has the potential to damage groups working towards equity and wider reach however is still possible

Please Help
Help my family in Gaza
A year after the war on Gaza, and in light of the deprivation of children from education and the policy of ignorance, Umm Kareem is trying to restore his childhood by teaching him in his small tent that does not contain any of the components of educational life.This tent is missing school supplies and the most basic capabilities, so we hope to support Karim and his family to get out of this suffering through your donation.
The campaign was documented by @90-ghost.

Posted this in the Discord but CONSIDER
If Leander is really a necromancer, imagine if the MC can get knocked unconscious several times during his route. Later you wake up to Leander doting on you in bed, holding your hand while you sleep because he was so worried about you. He says you were hurt during an encounter but he saved you. Wow this search for a cure is so dangerous, maybe you should take a break, let him take care of you some more.
Then somehow you end up in the crypts, in one of his secret hidey-holes, and it's a horror show. Old clothes, cracked bones, bloody limbs half rotting in a chalk circle. And you recognize these pieces. Recognize the pieces of yourself.
Because all those times you lost consciousness? That was you dying. You've died so many times, more times than you know, and every time Leander ripped you back to life because you can't leave him. He won't let you.
Footsteps echo behind you, and you turn to see Leander standing in the doorway. He glances from you to the room, eyes dull as he takes in the damning evidence and your reaction. Then he huffs out a laugh and grins that sweet, charming smile.
"Haha, I'm sorry. You weren't supposed to see that," he says, a bolt of searing magic gathering in the air above his palm. "Don't worry. You won't remember any of this when you wake up"

Please, please, look at my donation campaign and help me. I have newborn children and my son Ahmed needs treatment. He is a heart patient and suffers from two holes in the heart. He needs help and treatment. We do not have money and we are stuck in Egypt because of the Gaza war. My wife and I lost my jobs and there is no source of income. I would like you to help. To care for my children and provide the necessary treatment for my child Ahmed, please donate even a little thing to save my child’s life

Help Anas & Ahmed in Gaza
🚨 Urgent Appeal 🚨
I am Anas Basil, a recent high school graduate with dreams of pursuing a degree in e-business management and building a career. However, due to my family's financial hardships, I enrolled at Khan Younis Training College (KYTC), affiliated with UNRWA. Sadly, the war has turned the college, once a beacon of hope and education, into a shelter for displaced families, stripping it of its educational purpose.
I completed high school with a 93% average, filled with excitement about continuing my education and securing a job to support my family. But like so many others, the war has shattered those dreams.
Tumblr media
My Brother’s Dream: My younger brother, Ahmed, is 14 years old and in the third grade of preparatory school. We’ve always called him "Doctor of the Future" because of his intelligence and his natural talent in mathematics. Unfortunately, this is the second year he has been deprived of schooling due to the conflict.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our Life in Displacement: The war forced our family to flee to Rafah, where we lived in a tent for several months. Each day, my brother and I would wake up to fetch water, gather wood, and light a fire to prepare food. Survival became our daily task, but we never gave up hope. The conflict affected us deeply, but it did not extinguish our dreams of education and a better future.

🚀 How Your Donation will Help us:
We are seeking €29,000 to help Ahmed and me leave Gaza, continue our education in Egypt. More importantly, it will allow us to support our family, who have been deeply affected by the harsh conditions and skyrocketing costs of living due to the ongoing war in Gaza.
We've outlined how your donations will make this possible. You can find all the details in the campaign link below.
👉 Donation link: 🔗https://gofund.me/ace8d602
Your contribution will not only help us escape the war-torn reality we live in but also give us the opportunity to rebuild our futures.
Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to our goal.
With deepest gratitude, Anas & Ahmed
