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

Dear Supporters,

Your generosity has been a beacon of hope in these dark times, helping us secure basic essentials like food, clean water, and medicine. But with winter closing in, our needs are growing. We urgently need shelter, warm clothing, blankets, and protection against the harsh conditions.

There was a lady who voluntary helped us by launching the fundraising campaign and already she transferred 5,000 USD. But, 2 months ago she doesn’t responded and doesn’t transfer anymore. So, we launched a new fundraising campaign with 20,000 USD to cover our needs

Prices of daily essentials have skyrocketed, and access is extremely limited. Many families, including ours, are left without a steady income, struggling to survive day by day.

Your support can make a world of difference. Please stand with us. Every little bit helps to bring warmth, safety, and hope to us.

Thank you for your unwavering compassion.

You may have experienced one of these diseases, and chances are you might not be familiar with some of them. A single illness can turn your life upside down—can you imagine enduring them all? This is the reality for my brother, Jihad.

--

Hello everyone,

My name is Hanan. I am a divorced woman from war-torn Gaza, and I care for my chronically ill brother, Jihad, along with his family—his wife, Ola, and their son, Yousef.

Jihad's story is one of deep sadness and grief. He suffers from multiple illnesses, including hypertension, diabetes, celiac disease, kidney failure, and osteoporosis. Due to complications, he has lost his eyesight and both legs have been broken.

The ongoing conflict has only intensified the suffering for Jihad and his family. Their home was destroyed, forcing them to flee in search of safety, and they now live in a tent. Jihad requires specialized treatment and nutrition that are not available in Gaza.

Despite all these challenges, Jihad has not lost his bravery or hope. If you find it in your heart to support Jihad during these difficult times, please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign and sharing our story so the world can see. ❤️🙏

URGENT APPEAL! HELP ME SAVE MY FAMILY FROM THE HORRORS OF WAR

Hello everyone,

My name is Aya, and I’m reaching out from Gaza. I am addressing you after a complete year of a devastating war that left disastrous impacts on our lives. I led a good life along with my family that was once happy, but things took an ugly turn since war eruption. Despite difficulties, we managed to cope somehow. Yet, it has been a complete year of fear, anxiety and lack of certainty, and this isn't ending anytime soon. For this reason, we have decided to evacuate Gaza and start over in a new place. I love my hometown. I certainly do, but the survival of my family is at stake! I am appealing to you to help me save my family by raising the necessary funds to safely evacuate Gaza. You are kindly invited to read my story as I try to explain in simple words unexplainable feelings of misery, desperation and bitterness.

Sweet home, no more

At first, we were forced to leave the comfort of our house in order to seek refuge in a safer place. Well, it turned out that there's no thing such as a safe place in Gaza and, sadly, our sweet home was damaged. To a small family, like us, home means everything. It means safety, comfort and love, but no more!

A complete turnaround

A complete turnaround

Before war, we enjoyed a comfortable life. Our house was fully equipped with the latest gadgets. Everything we needed was just a click away. Yet, we have gone through a complete turnaround. Since the beginning of the war a year ago, we had no power supply, no water, and no cooking gas! We are literary a century back in time. We use wood for cooking and heating, stand in lines for water supply and manually move water from very far places.

Aya

It's me. I loved cooking, graphic design and reading. Yet, all of this sounds now like a distant memory. The war has effectively killed my passions, as all I am thinking about in the meantime is the safety and survival of my family. I worked as a content creator, studied to be a professional graphic designer and had big dreams, but sadly they are all gone!

Dad

My father, Ayman, worked as a respected computer engineer at a big tech company. He loved his work, but sadly, he doesn't work anymore as the company stopped operating in Gaza. My father suffers from high blood pressure, and I am seriously worried about his safety and health, considering the shortage in medications and healthcare services in the war-torn Gaza. My father is also occupied by our safety and survival which increases his illness. Being responsible for a family of five members isn't a small feet in normal conditions, not to mention in wartime.

Mom

My mom, Eman, is my sweetheart. Despite the challenges, she took care of us every single day for over a year of displacement. Regardless of the challenges, she kept on supporting us without complaining. However, I am increasingly worried that she might collapse under this unbearable pressure.

Granny

My 85-year old granny is the most vulnerable person in our family. she is chronically sick, and the lack of medications and healthcare only makes her condition even worse! My granny, who barely walks, is displaced over and over again and is forced to move dozens of kilometers every time we get displaced.

Ahmad

My brother, Ahmad, worked at a big tech company and was preparing to get married. He had a promising future and a great career ahead, but all of his dreams have vanished in the dust of war. He lost his job. I am really worried about his safety as he is growingly depressant!

The line between safety and peril

To safely evacuate Gaza, we need to travel through Rafah border crossing, which increasingly represents the line between safety and peril. However, we are asked to pay a huge sum (7,000 USD per person) which we cannot afford, as the war has drained our savings. That's why I decided to turn to you for help. Please, save our lives. Your donation, no matter how small, can decide our safety.

My name is Mohamed Almadhonne, and I am reaching out from Gaza, where my family and I are enduring profound hardship. Our home, once a sanctuary of safety and comfort, has been reduced to rubble. We now face freezing nights and hunger in a makeshift shelter, holding onto hope amidst overwhelming uncertainty.

Each day brings new challenges—fear, loss, and the constant battle for survival. Yet, even in this darkness, I believe in the transformative power of compassion and the generosity of people like you to help us find a path forward.

I am humbly asking for your support. Your donation, no matter the amount, could provide us with essential relief: shelter, food, and a chance to rebuild our lives. If donating is not possible, sharing our story could connect us with others willing to help.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support. Your kindness means more than words can express.

With sincere gratitude,

Mohamed Almadhonne

The Sound of Empty Stomachs Is Louder Than Bombs: A Family in Gaza Calls for Your Help!

Amid war, airstrikes, and destruction, my family in Gaza is living through a silent tragedy. Between the buzzing of warplanes and the explosions, there is another sound echoing... the sound of empty stomachs. My little child, the women, and all of us sit in the corner of our tent, waiting for a meal that might never come.

The crisis is not just the tent, the demolished walls, the blocked roads, or the biting cold. It’s something simpler yet far more cruel... food. My family hasn’t tasted vegetables or meat for over three months. Day by day, they lose something else: yesterday it was fruit, and today it’s flour — a dream now out of reach due to its scarcity and exorbitant price.

Every moment is a battle for survival, and every bite of food pulls us back from the brink of hunger.

Will you let us suffer? Will you allow the sound of hunger to be louder than the voice of your conscience?

Contribute now, even a small amount, because in these conditions, even the smallest help means life!

Donate to my family and help keep them alive. What might be your next meal is an unattainable dream for them.

To donate:

Be the difference. Be the voice of humanity in a time of deafening silence!
