This is how my mother used to bake bread when we were in Gaza. Now my sister and brother buy a bag of flour for the equivalent of $300 if they can find it.

There is a real famine in Gaza and all goods are very expensive

1 kilo of tomatoes costs $5

1 kilo of potatoes requires $10

1 kilo of onions costs $15

Please donate to my campaign so that I can save my family and support them in their distress

If you cannot donate, share the campaign

Please do not forget Gaza and donate to my family, even if it is twenty dollars

Help a father save his children from war 🇵🇸❤️

Ahed @ahedfamily is the father of three young girls, all under ten years old. The past year has been a nightmare, but his motivation to keep going is his girls. They’re the light of his life and he would do anything for them.

Prices for everything in gaza is going up, and Ahed isn’t able to pay for what he needs for his children anymore, and this causes him a lot of pain. The worst thing a father can experience is seeing his children suffer, and they are in danger every day from bombs, starvation, and infectious illness. Ahed’s family desperately need our help to live through this genocide, and to eventually evacuate when the borders open.

This fundraiser is moving very slowly, and sometimes there’s days between each donation 💔 They’re currently at €8,936 raised out of €40,000

If you have anything to give to help them, please do so. This father deserves to sleep peacefully at night knowing his children are fed and safe from harm ❤️ Fatima and Iman should be in school or playing with friends and Nour should experience safety, something she has almost never felt, since she was born only two months before the war 💔

Every donation counts to Ahed’s children’s survival

Farah received a severe head injury after her home was bombed by the occupation last year. It resulted in a fractured skull and brain bleeding, which left her disabled for several months. To continue the treatment of her wound, she needs to evacuate outside of Gaza. However, this is very expensive, and her family is large. They cannot work due to the invasion, and have no way of raising the funds to pay evacuation costs, or to support themselves until evacuation is possible.

Farah’s family has started a GFM campaign, but progress is very slow. Total donations up to now equal less than 1% of their goal, despite being open since April! They will not be able to evacuate, or to survive in the mean time, without your help.

Please share Farah’s campaign by copy-pasting this link across all your social media pages. Reblogging this post and the posts on Farah’s blog @farahyounis is also a huge help.

Please help Farah and her family survive and evacuate to safety!

Thank you❤️
