#stand with siraj

[zigcarnivorous]

WOW!

For more than a year this has been the news; everytime I am to write a post for a family, I go online and this is all I get to see. Nothing has changed in all this time. The occupation forces still bomb schools without any repercussions- they murder hundreds of people-they lay down seige-they allow no aid to pass through and terrified Gazans remain at a loss as to what to do and how to survive.

So nothing changed and nothing got better, rather things are worse now than they were in October 2023. As it stands, the whole of Gaza strip has been bombed multiple times, causing people to be displaced over and over again and lose precious resources like clothes and shoes. I cannot stress how important these resources are when children have to live out in the open sand and when people have to travel long miles to either get a connection or food. My friend Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj2024z ) has been displaced SEVEN times and 2 months ago his extended family was displaced when the occupation forces closed in on their camp. With the onslaught of winter Siraj has to provide all of his family members with winter clothes and shoes that they have gradually lost when they were forced to flee. He has to provide for TWENTY FOUR people. Currently your donations have helped Siraj to rent a shelter for 10 of his most vulnerable family members but this means that 14 others, including Siraj himself is still living in tents! He is so cold and so are his sons. The nights are terrible and the tent which went through the wear and tear of the weather for the better part of this year, is barely any protection at all.

So please, please donate to Siraj. He wants nothing expensive, he has said that he will buy the cheapest winter clothes that are available in the market. But please we must raise at least 3k for Siraj ASAP. He has received no donations for over 12 hours and is currently stuck at $93,426 CAD

Vetting #219

Once again, please remember that things are going to be much more difficult during this winter of 2024. The hospitals have been bombed all throughout the Gaza strip, making it difficult to seek treatment for even basic ailments. There are barely any shelters left standing where people might be able to retire to, to escape the winter cold and fuel to warm up is a luxury. Also the IOF has routinely attacked camps, after which people were forced to leave behind precious life saving items which were either destroyed or looted. So do not let Siraj down now, when there is an uncertain time ahead.

Alhaitham, the moment his roommate leaves town: Ditches his house, hangs out in shady back alleys at the port, joins the black market to make illegal purchases, picks fights with random Eremites in the cafes, brawls with the chief of police, raids a forbidden temple, overthrows the government--

Call that "Kavehless Behavior."

GET SIRAJ TO 50K IN 2 DAYS!!

If you don't know by now, Siraj Abudayeh is a writer and journalist from Gaza. He is currently fundraising to survive through the genocide. He has a dream of rebuilding his home - this is his resistance against the settler state because he refuses to let the colonizers take over the city, the home, he so loves. Siraj and his family need to live through this difficult time. Everyday is a struggle where his family has to put in herculean efforts to acquire even the basic items of life. No one, who is from outside of Gaza can know how truly hellish these ten months have been. To provide you with just a glimpse of this hell, Siraj has asked me to share this message with you:

"Everyday, my children have to stand in a line to get 10 loaves of bread. You also have young girls, pregnant women, and the elderly. . . They all wait to purchase for their families, but the bakery is a wrestling ring! We quarrel with each other, scream until our throat hurts, and faint from the blazing heat! And the queue does not move while all of this is happening. . . Not even a prayer will save you from this misery!

For 3 straight hours, Muhammad, Siraj’s son, stood, counting on his fingers how many people will it be until it is his turn to receive the bread and return to his family. His turn has finally arrived.

Suddenly, an ear piercing sound slices through the the air!! It is heavier than an exploding F-16 missile: Children fled in fear, the bakery was hastily closed and Muhammad returned with a heavy burden of an empty stomach."

As of writing this $46,268 out $50,000 CAD have been raised. We have $3,732 left to go!

Please don't let it stagnate! As it has been mentioned before, Siraj is supporting more people than ever. He cannot afford the fundraiser to slow down. Every second counts! So please donate and share! Every bit counts!

Palestine has two voices of which we are proud:

Voice 1: The college students who organize these wonderful marches. The second voice: The heroes of the Tumblr application who communicate the humanitarian stories of Gaza families to the world, and I will mention their names again.

Don't forget to support my family, as they desperately need you to stand by their side in their campaign, which is going on thanks to you.

Support, share, make our voice heard to the world.

[girlinafairytale]

so much of gaza has been destroyed by the occupation. so many homes, schools, hospitals, parks and places where people made memories. siraj's home is one of the places the occupation has destroyed.

siraj ( @siraj2024 ) is a journalist. he lived with his wife and three children in their beautiful home. during the genocide, the occupation bombed and destroyed their home. since then, the family has been fundraising in order to rebuild their home.

to palestinians, rebuilding is a form of resistance against the occupation. they rebuild the things that the occupation destroyed and make it stand stronger.

let's help siraj rebuild his house. his fundraiser has been verified (#219)

[khanger]

Hello world 👋

The children and adults of the Siraj family walk 700 meters every day to get water. Do you hear? They are exposed to danger on their way. They stand in line for water for hours. Most of the time, the water is polluted. Does this mean anything to you! Why am I telling you this? Because this family needs easy access to water safely without hardship, danger, and fatigue. They need to reach 70k to be able to buy a submersible generator and a water extension network. They only have $900 left, be their help and support, and contribute to supporting their campaign.

Today I was sent a particularly harrowing update by Siraj, which is saying a lot considering the horrors that palestinians experience every day during this genocide. As most of you know by now, Siraj is a palestinian man raising funds to rebuild his home that was destroyed by Israeli bombing. His little son is sick at the moment as well. Any donations that we can send his way will show to Israel that the people of the world stands with Palestine and that we will not just stand idly by as they carry out these atrocities.

[buttercuparry]

My birthday was a few days ago and to be honest I had no energy to celebrate it.

I feel so tired nowadays, that it seemed more like a bother than anything else. When I was talking to Siraj the next day, I told him about my birthday. I told him that it was a small affair and Siraj listened. He wished me a good year and a good life warmly, and then asked me why I didn't celebrate it grandly. He asked why was it such a muted and small thing, for he believes that everyone on tumblr, everyone who has spoken to him kindly, has heard him patiently, has posted and donated to him, deserves a celebration. He said and I paraphrase: in a world where the governments of the imperial core are considering a complete annihilation of my identity, of my humanity, of my life, the common people standing with me are my strength.

This is Siraj. This is the man who gets harassed by Zionists on a daily basis, who escaped a massacre a few days ago and yet who always chooses to hope that he will rebuild his house, to believe that his friends on tumblr will be with him till the end of his campaign.

I am deeply ashamed that I have to show the world his humanity, his kindness in this way.

So? Do you see it now? The person, the man from Gaza I have been telling you about for the past few weeks? Is this enough...??

Shall I tell you instead all that Siraj has lost? Shall I tell you that he wanted to get a PhD, but lost his dream to the genocide. That he was once a coach and loved swimming. Where is the sea? Where is his university? Where is his office? Where is his home? All there is left, is this

And this

Siraj is not asking for a penny more than that he is owed. His house cost him $60000 USD ( $82000 CAD) and then it was bombed. The world did not do anything. It still does nothing. So please donate to Siraj. Do not be a bystander. Currently his campaign is stagnating at $13209 CAD . Boost and donate.

[schoolhater]

my friend siraj abudayeh (vetted on line 219), who i've posted about frequently, has been fundraising for his family's daily survival since june of this year. read more about him here, here, and here. follow him here: @siraj2024. he is a journalist who writes frequent updates about the situation in gaza, and it is always better to get the story from the source than filtered through a western lens.

as of about a week ago, he had raised over $90,000 CAD / $64,000 USD. he had withdrawn a portion of it to pay for various daily needs, medical care, and rent.

his fundraiser had been under investigation for a few weeks and the organizer, his cousin, even sent all of their government IDs to verify that they are real people.

despite this, gofundme deleted his fundraiser a week ago. he lost over $38,000 CAD ($27,000 USD). that is a monumental loss that would devastate anyone. but in gaza, it is the loss of a lifeline.

gofundme has a pattern of baselessly investigating and terminating fundraisers benefiting palestinians, often waiting until the campaign has reached the end of its goal to terminate it and refund all donors, leaving the refugees in the dust.

in the hopes of continuing to keep his family alive while unchecked capitalism and gang violence in gaza are on the rise, and in the midst of constant bombardment, displacement, and death, siraj has opened another gofundme. this fundraiser is in his sister's name, and is being organized by a trusted friend of his who lives abroad. we hope it will not be met with the same fate as the old one.

if you donated to siraj's old gofundme, please request a refund and re-send the donation to the new link here

thank you

My dear friend,

Welcome, I hope you are well *Subject/Invitation to support me in rebuilding the house*

When the hope of returning home evaporates, and you become displaced and homeless without housing, for an open period, you feel that all your energy has been exhausted, and terrifying nightmares begin to dominate your mind.

I worked long hours and borrowed a lot to complete the house, and I am not happy with it yet. Now all I have is the tent, in which I will stay until an unknown date. My children are living in a state of despair and loss, and how difficult it is to stand in front of them when you are unable to provide them with food, drink, and housing.

My goal now is to rebuild the house, and I am very far from the goal that is a dream for us, so how difficult it is to become homeless indefinitely.

You can help in the following ways:

1. Provide support and share the last 5 posts on my page.

2. Writing a post about my campaign.

3. Send the campaign link to your friends and family via mail or other social networking sites.

4. Post the question on your page as it is.

The campaign is documented by Nabulsi✅

Accept my greetings🌹

How has the Siraj family felt since the beginning of the war?

The feeling of loss from the martyrdom of their family and friends, the feeling of heartbreak, the feeling of hunger and thirst, the feeling of emerging from under death, the feeling of trembling fear, the feeling of waiting, for news of the missing, be it martyrs or prisoners, the feeling of losing your toil, your misery, and your dream, the feeling of displacement, the feeling of running at night from place to place when the order to evacuate the area suddenly comes, the feeling of illness and malnutrition, the feeling of thinking and anticipation, the feeling of alienation in your country, the feeling of attachment to places and people and after a short time leaving them, the feeling of heat and living in a tent that is a convection oven.

No matter how much the family talks about their feelings, they will never be able to fully describe the cruelty of what is happening.

This family needs escape this suffering, return to their normal, regular lives and rebuild their destroyed home.

If you're not aware, Siraj is a writer and journalist from Gaza, and is a father to three children. He lives in an unhygenic tent and has to walk three kms everyday just to get a stable internet connection. His son fell sick, and the rest of his family might too, due to the unhygenic conditions in these tents. This is his message.

They need you to stand by them and support them in order to reach their weekly goal of 40k by the coming Sunday, and 32k by the end of Monday, that is today.

@siiraj2024 has reached out to me to ask me to share this link, please show their family the same kindness and generosity you would show to your own loved ones

from the GoFundMe:

"Building our house was not easy. It took over ten years of tireless effort, long hours each day, and the accumulation of debt. But it was our home, a place filled with love and dreams for the future. At the beginning of the ground war on the Gaza Strip, our area was engulfed in fire and random shelling, which led to our beloved home being hit and destroyed. After that, we were forced to move six times, seeking refuge in places unfit for living, where we faced constant threats, evacuation orders, and danger both day and night. Today, we find ourselves living in a poor tent on the street, surrounded by others in similar conditions. These tents lack the basic necessities of life, and epidemics and infectious diseases are widespread. My children have lost their childhoods among these makeshift shelters. They don’t know how to play or learn. Instead, they help with hard tasks like fetching drinking water from long distances, cleaning around the tent, and much more. They deserve better. Our dream is simple: to return to our life before this brutal war, to rebuild our beautiful home, to educate our children, and to provide them with safety and stability. This is our ultimate hope. With your support, we can transform our story from one of pain to one of hope. You have the power to alleviate my family’s suffering, to stand by us, and to support us in rebuilding our lives."

As the destruction and violence in Gaza continues, the very basics of survival such as food, water, and shelter are harder and harder to come by, and escape is very expensive and dangerous. And when the "war" ends, what will Gazan's have to return to? It is in our power to sustain their lives and hopes. So please, if you have ever given your friend or family a few dollars in their time of need, extend that same love and compassion to Siraj and his family now <3
