Update on the Situation of LGBTQ Refugees in the Rainy Season🙏🏳️‍🌈

Hello everyone,

I want to take a moment to give you a quick update on what’s happening with our LGBTQ refugee community. Right now, we’re in the middle of the rainy season, and it’s been raining for almost seven hours each day. These heavy rains are causing devastating floods that not only seep into our temporary homes but often dismantle them entirely.

As you can see from the pictures , the rain gets everywhere soaking every belonging we have and sometimes sweeping them away altogether. The situation is incredibly dire, and with nowhere to turn, it feels like an endless battle just to stay dry and safe.

These conditions have made it even easier for diseases like malaria, cholera, and typhoid to spread. We desperately need stronger, more reliable tents to provide shelter. Each tent can accommodate at least 15 people and costs around $350 to $400.

We are pleading with well-wishers and the global LGBTQ community to stand with us during this incredibly difficult time. Your support could make a world of difference in protecting our lives and giving us the dignity of a safe space to weather this storm.

If you’re able to help, please consider donating through our GofundMe and ko-if or sharing our story to help us reach others who might be in a position to assist.

Thank you for your compassion and solidarity. Together, we can endure even the heaviest storms.

With gratitude.

Hi it’s my birthday 🎉 I want to celebrate by helping out a cat cafe in Japan that I love very much and that could use any help they can get!!

If you’re able and willing, please donate something from their Amazon wishlist and I will draw something for you! ✨ Please either reply here or chat/ ask me telling me what you’ve donated (you can say cat litter, kitten food, etc. no proof of purchase necessary, I believe you). And then tell me what you’d like a drawing of! I would prefer characters from games/anime etc but it’s your choice.

Some background on the cafe: Familia is not so much a “cafe” but rather a stand in for shelters which don’t really exist other than local govt ones which are very limited in Japan. The owner of familia currently takes care of almost 50 cats, seeking a home for all of them.

The owner is one of the kindest people I have ever met. He works tirelessly with community efforts to conduct TNR or rehome strays as well as on a country wide scale. It takes a lot to care for so many cats, so even if one person donates, I will be soooo happy 😭🥲💗💗💗

Here’re the links in case the QR codes don’t work for some reason: For all the cats. For the kittens.

i’ve been encouraging spotlighting fundraisers on main for a while now (i’ve been spotlighting gazan fundraisers since early thsi year*) but i need to talk more about it here. spotlighting fundraisers is such a big help to everyone (palestinians seeking the donations, their loved ones, vetters, other people spotlighting the fundraiser). please consider it if you are able to. i promise you no matter how small your blog is you will make an impact.

i encourage you to pick a vetted fundraiser from operation olive branch or el-shab-hussein and nabulsi’s spreadsheet and promote it on your blog if you are able to!!!!

‏Hello, I am Dr. Muhammad Imad Abdel Latif Sharab. After the aggressive war on Gaza, we were displaced from our 3-story home, and my grandfather was martyred while checking on our house. The war has left us living in constant fear, with death chasing us everywhere, and a severe lack of resources and necessities. Our store, which we relied on to meet our needs, was also bombed. We kindly ask for your support and donations to help us recover a small part of what we have lost, as life has become unbearable. Thank you very much.

I am Sara Hussein, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, from a family of young children, women and elderly ❤ who have been suffering 😭 for 310 difficult days of aggressive war. Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become rare and difficult to obtain. There is no food, no water, no medicine.

So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we lost all our sources of livelihood.

Please do not leave my family to suffer and struggle in these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. ❤🍉

Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked

I myself can’t donate, as I am a minor, but I’ll share your campaign.

I signed up as an artist

TMA COMMISSIONS FOR GAZA

What is TMA Commissions For Gaza?

You can get small TMA commissions (a little drawing or short fanfic) in exchange for donating to 1 of 10 Gofundme's of Palestinians in Gaza (starting May 17th)

There are about 60 artists signed up already who have volunteered to work for free for this to happen. Until May 16th, you can join too!

The project is fanmade and has no connection to Rusty Quill

Our carrd: https://magnusforgaza.carrd.co/ Everything else under the cut ↓

How can I participate as an artist?

If you want to support our cause and join as a visual artist or writer - thank you! You must be at least 16 years old to participate. You can fill out this form to sign up: Artists Form Here's a seperate post with information for artists.

How can I commission?

1: Donate to one of the 10 gofundme's. (any amount) 2: Fill out the commission form and describe what art you want! 3: And now we wait. We don't know how many commissions each artist will take on so please be patient💚

Where does the money go?

We, the organizers and artists of TMA commissions for Gaza, gain no money from this. We ask participants to donate to 1 of these 10 Gofundme's by Gazans who are trying to survive and evacuate Gaza. 5 of these Gofundmes are on the Operation Olive Branch list and the other 5 are friends and family of one of our organizers. The funds are needed for expenses such as medical care, food and first and foremost to pay for crossing the border to Egypt.

Why only 10 Gofundme's?

We hope to be more effective when focusing on just a small number of Gofundme's and not for example the whole Operation Olive Branch list. Providing a smaller number of places to donate to may also help donators to not get overwhelmed by the amount of people who need their help. If you have any questions, send us a message here on Tumblr!

My dear,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Mohammed Hassouna, and I am reaching out to you during one of the most heartbreaking times of my life. My family and I are trapped in Gaza because of the ongoing war, and we’ve lost everything—our home, our safety, and our sense of security 💔. Now, we’re living in a tent that barely protects us from the rain or the wind 💨💦, and we are desperate to find safety.

I urgently need your help 😢. Every donation, share, or message of support brings us one step closer to safety. Before the war, we had a home filled with love, but now it’s gone, reduced to rubble 💔. We are displaced, scared, and struggling to survive 😔.

Please, if you can, help us escape this nightmare 😭🙏. Any support, no matter how small, can change our lives and give us hope for a new beginning. Your kindness means the world to us 🥺❤️.

Here is my campaign link: https://gofund.me/d04d2c13. If you can’t donate, sharing our story will help us reach others who may be able to assist.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion and support 🙏❤️.

Hello,

For those who don’t know me, my name is Alaa. I’m a husband and a father from Gaza, and I’m so grateful to be raising two beautiful children, Maram, our lovely 6-year-old daughter, and Ayman, our energetic 3-year-old boy. We are also eagerly anticipating the arrival of our third child, a baby girl, who is due in just a couple of months. My wife is seven months pregnant, and while we’re filled with excitement, we’re also feeling the weight of the challenges ahead.

One of the things we’ve been discussing is what to name our new daughter. We wanted something that feels similar to Maram, but we’re still undecided. There are so many lovely names that could be perfect for her, and we’d really appreciate any suggestions or advice.

That said, choosing a name is the least of our worries right now. The reality of preparing for our baby’s arrival in the middle of a war is overwhelming. We have no baby clothes, no mattress, and with the current war, basic necessities like diapers and baby formula have become unaffordable for us.

I’m thrilled and thankful that we’re expecting a new addition to our family, but as a father, the fear and worry about how we’ll care for her, along with our two other children, are constant. We are displaced from our home, I’ve lost my job, and our savings have run out. Every day, I wonder how I will protect and provide for my family in these impossible circumstances.

This is why I’m reaching out to you. We want to give our daughter the best start we can, but we can’t do it alone. If you’re able, please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign or sharing our story with your friends and family. Any support, no matter how small, will make a world of difference to us during this incredibly difficult time.

UPDATE: COLORING BOOKS!

These past few days, Hussam has been putting together 350 coloring books and colors for the children of the camps to both to help bring a bit of joy to their lives as well as encourage education and learning in the midst of not being able to go to school. Thank you so much everyone for all your help these past few weeks, because of you, we're able to put a smile on these children's faces!

For those of you who have been following this, my tumblr ‘helpgazachildren’ was deleted for unknown reasons. In the meantime, I put together this notion site to help document all the receipts and videos of updates for people who want a backlog of information. I will be continuously updating this site.

Please consider donating today. Your donations go directly to people in need with NO middle man in between. No donation amount is too little, or if you’re unable to donate please spread the link today!!!

For those who cannot donate through paypal, here is Hussam’s gofundme! Please note that Paypal is still the preferred way to donate!

Id: Video starts off with a large stack of coloring books and various coloring supplies. Then it cuts to various clips of distributing colors to the children of the camps in Rafah. The three images that follow are of children receiving the coloring books.

The Cost of Your Silence !!!

Your silence is allowing these atrocities and massacres in Palestine to continue. The bloody violence against innocent people persists because of it. Ten months have passed—YES, TEN MONTHS—and the genocide continues, as does the silence. Enough is enough! Enough silence, enough genocide, and enough killing. Gaza deserves better. We deserve a better life, and you deserve to be heard.

Every krone brings us closer to safety. Every share and every reblog helps us reach someone new who might be able to support us. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing our story with your followers and online communities. Your voice matters, and together, we can make a difference.

You may not be able to protect us directly, but you can amplify our message and RESCUE us from death by donating and spreading our story. If you know of any forums, groups, or networks that could help, please share our story with them.

To everyone who has already shared or donated, thank you. Even the smallest contribution can make a significant impact. Our story is your story. Please continue to donate and share, and help us reach those who can make a difference.
