I am Mahmoud Jihad from Gaza, currently living in a flimsy tent after my home and university were completely destroyed, along with my PC and my city. I was studying Information Technology while caring for my sick father and siblings, but now all my hopes seem shattered. ๐ข
As we face this devastating crisis, I am raising funds to help my family escape from Gaza and to continue my studies abroad ๐. Every day is a struggle, and your support can make a significant difference in our lives โค๏ธ.
My GoFundMe campaign has been verified by @beesandwatermelons โ #190.
Please consider sharing, liking, commenting, or donating, even a small amount ๐.
Your help could be the turning point that saves my family and helps us survive in this harsh and relentless war ๐.
When we resorted to asking for urgent help, we resorted to it because of the difficulty of the life we โโlive, whether psychological, physical or material ๐
We are a Palestinian family of seven people. We were living a decent and stable life and we had our dreams. Suddenly our situation changed due to the devastating war that caused us to lose everything we owned and negatively affected my children psychologically, educationally and otherwise ๐ญ๐ญ
Therefore, we are in dire need of help ๐
Today, after nearly 330 days of war and five months since the start of the fundraising campaign, we have reached 22kโฌ thanks to your support, participation and donations. We hope that you will continue to support and participate until we reach 65% of the goal, as there is less than 750โฌ left to reach it ๐
Reminder that there is NO EXCUSE to be ignoring the genocide in Gaza. There is no excuse for ignoring any of the current tragedies. You should be doing the bare minimum by posting in support of Palestine and Congo and Sudan. If you are using social media but not uplifting the voices of these people you have no excuse!
If I can still do my best to educate myself and support the victims of genocide while my own health rapidly declines halfway into my senior year of high school I think you can figure it the fuck out.
You SHOULD feel sad and guilty and angry. You SHOULD be feeling this pain. Stop ignoring it for your own comfort. This pain is your reminder that you are still alive and you still care.
Of course itโs scary and overwhelming and stressful and it feels like everything is futile but itโs NOT. We ALL need each other right now. Every person counts. Please help them. Boycott, reblog, repost, share, talk about it, donate, anything you can do is worth it.
If this makes you uncomfortable, good. It should. Get angry. Direct that anger into something useful. Free Palestine.
"Hamas is not a terrorist group. It's is a resistance that has been fuming for 75 years of colonialism, of occupation, of murder, of rape of little children, of women.
That's what they are. They are resistance.
Everything- everything that they do is justified. Every single thing. Every single thing they have done is justified."
"Ma'am there were children murdered, there were babies headed."
"Babies beheaded? Really? Please educate yourself. Please watch the news because as a news reporter you gotta check the fucking news. Because they said that that shit was fake, kay? Multiple times. Different channels. Even Biden himself, his ministers and his idiots said himself that that news was fake. There is no 40 beheaded babies."
"There is no 1300 deaths?"
"There's no evidence- there's no evidence whatsoever. There's no photos whatsoever. Hamas is a muslim group. They would never do that because it's against Islam, that's number one. And that's something they show-"
"Do you really believe that?"
"There is evidence of Israeli women saying that 'they gave us water,' they gave us food,' 'they gave us a place to sleep comfortably,' 'they gave us clothes.' They got them to cover up out of respect.
This is actual women having interviews talking about when they were hostages. Or [She stutters] Sorry, when Hamas members were coming into their house. This is actual Israeli women saying how they were. Even at some point a Hamas fighter told one of the women "Can I have a banana to eat?"
He asked if he could eat a banana that was in her home.

notes:
the palestinian sunbird was declared the national bird of palestine in 2015 as a way to preserve palestinian identity when israel attempted to rename the bird, and has since been a symbol of palestinian culture
olives are an important source of income for palestine, and also serves as a symbol of peace, prosperity, and palestinian's connection to their land
the colors of the watermelon match that of the flag of palestine, and has been used to represent the country in resistance to israel's attempted censorship of palestine

Over 27,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7th. The United States is complicit in a genocide, and anyone who is okay with this is a horrible person. Free Palestine.
Please remember to keep calling, emailing, faxing, and mailing your representatives and Biden. Being an annoying citizen helps more than a polite one. Resist bot and 5Calls app are both very helpful in stream lining this process.
Boycotting is working, please keep doing it even if you are tired.
If you are in a place to donate one of the best things to do is still donate esims as most aid is not reaching Gaza yet.
Keep talking about it. Keep reposting to your stories, talk to your families and friends about it.
Hi ๐, My name is Mohammad, and Iโm reaching out in a moment of desperate need. Iโm a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. ๐
Iโve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. ๐๏ธ๐ต๐ธ
Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my familyโs safety and well-being. ๐ซถ
If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. ๐
Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. โค

I saw this in my inbox and couldnโt ignore, please help this father of three children out as I know this would help him and his family out. โฅ๏ธ any support would be appreciated to him and giving money to his fundraiser.
I seriously hope the best for you and your family and that your goal of $40,000 is reached and youโre able to relocate to a very much safer place.
Non so come tenere questo mondo in fiamme
e non so come lasciarlo andare
il pensiero ustiona ma si fa fianco
per non scucirsi dalla terra sfigurata,
da chi fugge da chi resta
da chi combatte da chi prega
da chi ammutolisce da chi fa il pane
da chi perde il sonno la qualitร di abbandono che chiamiamo sogni.
Impossibile ora non essere un corpo.
Che siate visitati dagli animali custodi
che i fiumi siano in piena confidenza
con le lacrime, che ci sia un pensiero
che ci pensa e salva, che restare o partire
siano lo stesso compito di tenersi in piedi
nel mondo che vacilla.
I have sought refuge with you because of the devastating war that caused me to lose my home and my mother and our displacement from one place to another and I lost my children's future and there is a severe shortage of basic materials,
I have sought refuge with you so that I can provide a decent and safe life for me and my family consisting of my wife and my children Yasser, Omar, Maryam, Jana and Sarah, each of whom has dreams but unfortunately they have lost hope and despair controls them,
I hope that you will stand by us whether by donating if possible or participating widely,
Thank you very much
