🚨A sea of suffering 🚨
In a small corner of Gaza, where the lights dim and darkness descends, I sat alone and thought. She was a mother like any other mother, dreaming of a better future, a safe home, and a job that would provide him and his family with a decent life. But the dream turned into a nightmare, and life turned into a daily struggle for survival.
My family of seven people lived under the weight of siege and war. We lost our homes and watched our dreams disappear before our eyes. Every day was a new challenge, searching for a living amidst the lack of water and electricity, and the fear of bombing that might come at any moment.
“I saw hope in my children’s eyes, but the siege took it away from them little by little.” “They wanted to play in the streets and go to school, but all that surrounded them was destruction and fear.” My dream now is simple: to get my family out of this hell and start a new life in a safe place. But the costs of migration are high, far beyond their means. We were bombed and my children were injured. I was injured in my head and my nose was broken, and now I need a necessary operation to restore it to what it was. It was a very difficult day and my children were asleep.
With the Rafah crossing about to be opened and the occupier allowed to travel soon, I may be able to take my family out. Your support now is very important to get them out. Your previous support helped me maintain my family's life and provide them with the necessities of life and food. I am grateful to all of you. Your support is very important now to get my family to safety. Link here Support link Donate here 🙏

new post because the latest one was quickly losing traction and donations.
Mohammed’s condition has worsened significantly in the last several days, unfortunately. He’s unsteady on his feet and fell while trying to pray, breaking his hand. He has a cast for 4-6 weeks and a debt from that now. He’s going on day 4 with no food. And he has regular treatment tomorrow that we are trying desperately to collect for.
If any of you can spare anything -- even $1, $5, whatever--please do, and please reblog this post.
$1,445 / $15,000

Some of you are operating under this weird white savior idea that you’re saving Palestinian culture by mass consuming Palestinian themed items without sensitivity or reason. You’re not saving Palestinian culture by mass buying kuffiyeh print scrunchies or doing Palestinian miku fanart - you preserve Palestinian culture by preserving Palestinians. Palestinians are going to be the ones preserving our culture, just as we have for decades before this escalation. Not you. Please take a step back and actually treat our customs and identity with respect, not just a thing you can take from.

Help my family to leave the Gaza Strip
I am Najah Al-Haila from Gaza.
I never imagined I would find myself in a situation that would require me to write these words, but life has taken an unexpected and devastating turn. My family, consisting of my beloved husband and our four children - two daughters and two sons - is facing a crisis that we cannot overcome alone.
Our home, once filled with love and laughter, has been shattered. The roof over our heads, the walls that protected us, and the place where our children grew up are lost. We lost not only our home, but the foundations of our lives. Now, we struggle every day to survive, with nowhere to go or a way to rebuild without help.
Our children, who should be focused on school and their dreams, worry instead about where they will sleep or when their next meal will be. The weight of their fear and confusion breaks my heart. As parents, we feel helpless and unable to provide basic necessities for our loved ones.
We are urgently asking for help because we cannot do this alone. We need to rebuild not only our home, but our lives. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly to providing our children with a safe place to sleep, food to eat, and a chance to dream again. Please, if you can find it in your heart to help us during this desperate time, we will be forever grateful to you. May your kindness and generosity be the light that guides us through this darkness.
Please help me donate and share🙏
Najah

“My Story: A Boy Fighting for His Family”
My name is Ahmed, and I am 15 years old. I never thought I would have to carry the weight of my entire family, but here I am, fighting every day to keep them alive.
We lost my father in the war. He went out one day to find food for us because we were starving. It was dangerous, but he had no choice. He never came back. He was injured and bled to death because there was no one to help him. Our neighbors found his body and buried him because we couldn’t even afford a proper burial. That day, we lost everything—our protector, our provider, and our hope.
Now, it’s up to me. I am the eldest son, and I have to take care of my mother, my twin brother Ahmed Abed, and my two little sisters. Every morning, I go out to find work. I earn barely $1 or $2 a day, which isn’t enough to buy bread for all of us. My brother started working too, but it’s the same for him. We rely on bread and whatever humanitarian aid we can get, but it’s never enough.
Winter is here, and it’s freezing. We don’t have warm clothes, blankets, or even a heater. We lost everything in the war, and the little we have now is falling apart. We live in a rented apartment, and the landlord is pressuring us for rent we can’t pay. I don’t know what will happen to us if he throws us out.
I want my brother to become a doctor. It’s my biggest dream. I want him to help people, to save lives, because no one was there to save our father. I’m ready to sacrifice everything—my childhood, my education, even my life—if it means my family can survive and my brother can have a future.
Please, if you’re reading this, help us. We don’t have much time. My family needs food, warmth, and a safe place to live. I just want to see my mother and sisters smile again, and I want my brother to have a chance to achieve his dream. You can be the reason we survive. You can be the hope we desperately need.

Save Dr. Farhat's family from genocide in Gaza
👇 "Unveil the truth – Dive into the full story."
🔍This GoFundMe Verified:
✅Verified(248) on this list By el-shab-hussein & nabulsi
✅ Verified By 90-ghost
In the heart of war-torn Gaza, where destruction and loss are a daily reality, lies the deeply moving tale of Dr. Husam Farhat and his family. Amidst the relentless bombardment, Dr. Farhat faced an unthinkable tragedy: the martyrdom of his beloved sisters, Inas and Amal, along with their husbands and children, and his brother Mustafa. This devastating loss shattered not only their dreams but also their hopes for a peaceful future.
Life Before the War: Memories of a Beautiful Home
Before the war, my life revolved around a beautiful home where I lived with my wife, our daughter Sham, and our sons Muhannad and Muhammad. This home was more than just a place to live; it was a sanctuary filled with love, warmth, and the joy of watching my children grow. Every corner of our home echoed with their laughter, turning it into a place where dreams for the future felt not only possible but inevitable, but then the war came, and in an instant, everything changed. The place where we once felt safe and secure was reduced to rubble. The life we had carefully built, the dreams we had nurtured, and the bright future we had planned were all torn apart. The war didn’t just destroy our home; it uprooted our entire existence, leaving us with nothing but the painful memories of what once was, Now, standing in the ruins of our former life, I'm left with fragments of a distant dream. The joy and security we once knew have been replaced by loss and uncertainty as we face a future overshadowed by harsh realities.
The Loss of My Professional Dream and Life After the War
And it wasn’t just my home that was destroyed. My accounting office, one of the most renowned in Palestine, was also reduced to rubble. I had worked tirelessly to build this office, which wasn't just a place of business but a reflection of my passion and dedication to the field of accounting. It was our primary source of income, providing financial stability and security for my family, My office was well-known for its exceptional services and strong reputation among clients. Over the years, it had become a symbol of success and hard work in the accounting world. But the war took it all away in an instant. Everything I had worked so hard to achieve was destroyed, and years of effort and dedication were wiped out in moments, Now, I stand on the ruins of my office, just as I stand on the ruins of my life, trying to piece together the remnants of my dreams and memories. This office was a source of pride for me and my family, but the war has left us with nothing, facing an uncertain and difficult future.
War's Toll on My Dreams and Future
The war didn’t just destroy my home and office; it shattered my dreams and future. As a PhD candidate in Accounting Information Systems at Universiti Utara Malaysia, I was in my final year, pursuing research that is a significant contribution to my field and valuable to entrepreneurs. With a master’s degree with distinction and a bachelor's degree, I also taught at several universities, sharing my knowledge and passion, But the war disrupted everything. Years of hard work, academic progress, and my contributions to the field have been torn apart, leaving me with an uncertain future. Now, I am faced with the daunting task of not only rebuilding my life but also reviving the dreams and ambitions that once drove me. The journey ahead is filled with challenges, but my resolve to continue remains strong.
Displacement and Uncertainty After the War
Now, after all this devastation, my family and I are living as displaced people, homeless and jobless, with no clear future for ourselves or our children. Every day is a struggle to find food for my children, who have been robbed of every chance at a normal life by this war. Once, we lived in Shuja'iyya, in North Gaza, where we had a home, a life, and dreams. But now, after being displaced over nine times, we find ourselves in the refugee camps of Nuseirat, the war has stripped us of everything—our home, our security, and our future. Our daily life has become a constant search for basic necessities, a far cry from the life we once knew. The dreams I had for my children and myself now feel like distant memories, overshadowed by the relentless challenges of survival. Each day brings new uncertainties, as we navigate this harsh new reality, clinging to the hope that one day we might rebuild what was lost.
Rebuild Hope: A Call to Stand with Us
We urgently call on all those who stand in solidarity with us, and every supporter, to help save what remains of our lives. Your assistance, even in small ways, can make a significant difference in helping us rebuild and restore our shattered world, rebuilding feels like an insurmountable task, but with your help, we can begin to piece together what was lost. Your contributions, no matter how small, can provide the foundation we need to start anew, offering hope and a chance at a better future for our family. Your solidarity means the world to us as we navigate these challenging times.

From future teacher to homeless person 💔
My story and hope for survival😭
I am Israa Alwan I am 22 years old, a young woman who once had big dreams and was ready to achieve them. After years of hard work and study, I finally received my degree in Early Childhood Education. It was an indescribable joy, knowing I was about to start my journey as a teacher, to help shape young minds and walk alongside them in their first steps toward knowledge.
But my dream didn’t last. The war came and turned my life upside down. My home, which was once a safe haven, is now rubble, and I am left with only a few belongings and a shattered bag of dreams. Now, I am without a home, a job, or any sense of security. I move from place to place with my family, searching for a shelter to protect our children and the sick from the cold winter and the scorching summer.
My brother Shadi, who has always been my strength and support, now bears the heavy responsibility of caring for our entire family, doing everything he can to protect us and provide us with the bare essentials, despite the harsh conditions😭😭😭
Today, I reach out to you, driven by a shared humanity, seeking your support to help us survive and find a way out of this life that was forced upon us.

thee shehab family consists of dana (13), sahar (14), mona (9), malak (5), yehya (1.5), fahed, (38), reem (32), and grandmother mona (60). they have been shadowbanned and deleted a few times. you can also find this family at @monashehab
EDIT AUG 24:

The new goal is €85,000.

Hello. I am Maryam Um Baraa, 33 years old.
A mother of 4 beautiful children, the youngest of whom is 8 years old.
I live in northern Gaza.
Our life was very beautiful until the brutal war on Gaza began. We began to suffer from hunger, thirst and deprivation.
We have endured many hardships that mountains cannot bear.
My husband was injured in the head due to the brutal bombing, and my young son was also injured in the head.
We suffer from a severe shortage of clean and healthy water, to the point that my children walk a distance of one kilometer to get water.
A gallon of water is enough for five people.
We were suffering from a lack of food and nutrients to the point that we ate animal feed to stay alive, which caused us to lose weight and have low immunity.
In addition, my children were deprived of education and building a beautiful future for themselves..
My children suffer from malnutrition and skin diseases that have no cure except for the lack of medicines and the spread of waste everywhere around us. We also suffered from repeated displacement from one place to another and we do not have cooking gas, so we use wood and plastic to cook food, which makes me exposed to burns from the fire.
Help me, my children and my family to get out of Gaza.
You also have the TikTok link for my eldest son Baraa so you can see our suffering.
and the Instagram link.

Hello everyone, my name is Andrea and I am the organizer for @noor509 / @noor508's GoFundMe campaign
Shortly before we reached our goal, we had our transfers paused due to GoFundMe wanting to verify information and wanting to know if the money had been sent.
I had sent a majority of the money directly to Nour's bank account, but due to an issue we recently had to switch to Western Union. I provided documents and answered all of the team member's questions, but in the end GoFundMe had decided to close Nour's campaign anyways.
The last transfer that was sent to us was on November 3rd and we had transfers paused on the 4th. If you have not received a refund from GoFundMe already, please reach out to them to demand for a refund.
And if you still want to help Nour you can send money to this PayPal link: paypal.me/NoureddineAboalresh
The money that is sent there will be accepted to my bank account which will then be sent to Nour's friend via Western Union who will then forward the funds to Nour for him to receive.
Nour's campaign has been verified here: x and you can read more here: x

I am writing this on behalf of Fadel Al-Dhani, Please read and listen to his story.
As a result of the occupation, Fadel's home was bombed while he was still inside, because of this, bits of shrapnel became stuck in his body due to the explosion.
He was able to get surgery, but it was overall not successful due to the lack of a healthcare system in Gaza. He still has bits of shrapnel stuck in his body that the doctors were not able to remove, due to the danger of such an invasive surgery. Thus, doctors have advised Fadel to get better treatment in a country with more advanced medicine.
Fadel once had a campaign before this new one, where he collected about 20% of the goal, before GFM deleted it. Fadel did not receive his money back and now has to start over.
So far only €422 / €10,000 has been raised. The goal amount will cover the medical cost as well as the fee he must pay to leave Gaza.
Please donate if you are able, Fadel needs surgery in order to remove the remaining shrapnel in his body. If you cannot, please share this post in order to spread awareness to his campaign.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and help. 🍉🇵🇸
