#like even if i COULD be sure your plea was legit i'm living on spare change myself. i have nothing more to give right now. i'm sorry.

alright i guess it's time for me to make one of these posts bc i just got one, and i'm only gonna say it once.

Please do not send fundraiser requests/links to my inbox.

i will not post them, i am not a fundraiser-vetting account, i am not going to be the one to crawl through the muck of trying to verify that you're not simply preying on the sympathies of pro-palestinian/anti-zionist users to scam them out of money that could and should be going to children and families suffering in the colonized levant and in sudan and other places facing crisis in the global south and elsewhere.

if you want your fundraiser to get eyes on it that's not gonna happen by sending it to the personal blog of a guy who has absolutely no real influence over others, social media or otherwise, and only ever broken 200 followers on long-defunct rp blogs. and even then most of them are bots.

i am nobody. i am a few dollars at best, from what pennies i can spare, and i can hardly even say i have that right now. even this post might not see much traction, if any at all.

if you are legitimate, you're going to get better results going to someone who actually knows how to vet these things properly and has the following to get the eyes and funds you need. i'm not that person. i'm sorry. there are multiple people i've reblogged gfms and esim links and etc from who are equipped to help vet and spread this way, but it's not me. i hope you get what you need to survive and, someday, thrive. i hope we both live to see palestine's freedom and recovery. i hope we see the olives grow in abundance again and i hope the school bells ring once more. i hope no other child grows up knowing the sound of falling bombs.

if you're not legitimate, i will start believing in Hell again solely in the hope that you burn there for all eternity for taking advantage of people's pain and attempting to scam those who only want to help in the middle of a fucking genocide. i'd call you a vulture but carrion birds actually serve some benefit to the world around them.

i give when i can, where i can be assured that the money is going where i'm told it is, and not to someone catfishing off of people's sense of compassion using the faces of the martyred and dying and dead. you coming into some nobody-ass rando's askbox claiming in your own obviously copy-pasted message that the fund is vetted is not the way to assure that sense of security.

to everyone else reading this:

Gaza Funds highlights vetted fundraisers, prioritizing the sick/injured and those close to their goal, randomizing each time you refresh the page.

eSims for Gaza allows you to pay for those in palestine to remain connected to the internet and their loved ones among the diaspora abroad in the midst of the zionist occupation's destruction of digital infrastructure.

Arab.org allows you to contribute to donations by simply clicking a button every day.

those are the ones i can best remember off the top of my head. others have more. help where you can. don't get scammed.
