My friend Nader is a 17 years old Palestinian boy who has been campaigning tirelessly for months now in order to evacuate his whole family from Gaza.

When I first started chatting with him, his campaign, which has a total goal of €50,000, was at a bit above €5,000 at the time, about a month ago.

Thanks primarily to this sweet boy's daily efforts and the help he's received from some Tumblr users, we've managed to get his fundraiser to 62% of its total goal!!!!

With that in mind, if everyone who's donated a relatively small amount would donate a similar amount again as I did, we could SO easily take him very near his goal!!

His campaign is verified. It's the 4th campaign in this spreadsheet.

If we reach this €50,000 goal, we'd be saving not just Nad, but several young children, his father Ahmed who's a cancer patient, and many others. Reminder too that an uncle of his was martyred very recently. Anything can happen at any moment, and he gets very disheartened whenever donations decrease. We need to get them all out of Gaza as soon as possible.

His little niece is suffering from malnutrition, and every day when Nad and I resume chatting again he tells me how exhausted he is. I'm very worried for him and his family, as there's people dying of starvation all around him and him and his family aren't doing well. His family has already been displaced NINE times!!

Let's give Nad a chance to follow his dreams of going to university. Let's give his very small siblings a chance to know of a life free of bombings and shootings. Let's give his father the opportunity to deal with his cancer with dignity and an actual fighting chance.

€30,784/€50,000

I swear something goes wrong with the heating in this apartment every year I've lived in it 🙄 someone is coming to fix it in a couple days but until then it's between 50 & 60 (10 & 15C) degrees inside which is ever so slightly miserable on my joints

💔😭 A Cry for Help: A Family on the Brink of Disaster in Gaza! 🚨🆘

My name is Ahmad Muneer Al-Anqer, a 33-year-old man and father of four innocent children: Qusai (12 years old) 👦, Jouri (7 years old) 👧, Mohammed (4 years old) 👶, and Adam (9 months old) 🍼. We are now trapped in a terrifying nightmare after losing everything we owned in a single moment! 💔💔💥

A Night of Destruction…💣🔥

Imagine this: it was a night that seemed like any other, my children’s laughter filled the house, and our hearts beat with love and hope. Suddenly, the ground shook beneath our feet 💥💣, and we heard a sound like thunder… then an eerie silence. Everything was over! 😱💔 Shells exploded everywhere, the walls of our home collapsed over our heads 🏠💣, and the deafening sounds mingled with the screams of my children 😭😢. We crawled out from under the rubble with battered bodies and terrified hearts, running through the smoke and debris, searching for safety 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️. Our home, once full of life, is now a heap of ashes. 😔💔

Unbearable Suffering…😥😫

Since that fateful moment, we’ve been living in an ongoing nightmare. My children no longer know what safety means. Qusai and Jouri cry every night 😭💔, hiding from the sound of explosions, asking me: “Why are we living in this hell?�� 🔥💣 And I stand powerless before their tears. Mohammed, who used to run and play, now sits in a corner, frightened, refusing to leave my side 😢. As for little Adam, he has never known the taste of comfort or a good night’s sleep 🥺💤. Even his innocent laughter has become a thing of the past.

Hunger, Thirst, and Slow Death…🍞💧💊

We are now homeless 🏚️, without food 🍽️, and without clean water 💧. My children go to bed hungry and in pain, waking up each morning with only remnants of hope 😞😣. We are caught between life and death ⚠️⚰️. Our strength has collapsed, our health is deteriorating, and we struggle daily to get even the bare necessities 🥖💧. My wife and I are in desperate need of both physical and psychological treatment 💊🩺, but how can we access it? Everything seems distant, everything is far away… even survival itself. 😔

There’s No Time to Hesitate… Our Lives Are in Your Hands! 🙏💖

This plea is not just words; it’s a cry from a desperate heart 🆘💔. Every passing minute brings us closer to an even greater disaster ⏳⚠️. Your donation today will not only rebuild our home 🏠, but it will also rebuild our lives 💞. It will help us feed our starving children 🍞👧👦, provide them with clean water 💧, and perhaps restore the safety they have lost. 🕊️

Your donation today could save us from falling into the abyss 🆘😢. Don’t wait; every second counts in our lives. ⏰💡

Help us survive, help us give our children a new chance. Your donation now can be the lifeline that saves us from drowning. 🆘🙏💔

Donate now, and don’t let this family continue its fall into despair! 💔⚠️🙏

I just heard from my friend who lives in Asheville. She is safe, and recommends The Appalachian Helene Response Fund for donations. It's a network that's doing tremendous good on the ground.
