I am speaking on behalf of @eslamfa1, who has her own campaign for her and her family so they may survive under the harsh conditions in Gaza. She is very thankful for all the support she's had, but she needs more help.

She has asked me to host a fundraiser for more of her family, namely for her parents and siblings who desperately need funds for food, water, and medical treatment. They have been displaced multiple times and have only been able to contact Eslam through an unreliable internet connection.

Here is their story as written by her sister, Aya:

"Hello friends, we will tell you our sad story

I am Aya, an outstanding high school student. I was very happy to be on the verge of achieving my dream of finishing my school studies and achieving what I aspired to, which is to become a doctor.

My family of 8 and a beautiful cat named Katie were living a beautiful and peaceful life, each of us striving to achieve our dreams.

We had our beautiful house in Khan Yunis. Recently, we were celebrating my sister Heba’s fourth place in the Gaza Strip in the Arabic language recruitment exam. Our life was like material and emotional perfection. We did not feel deprived or lacking anything.

My sister Lina is a university student. Her dream was to become a psychologist to help mentally ill people in the Strip.

My brother Ahmed was the most beautiful gift from God. He came after 20 years of being deprived of male siblings. After completing his studies, he became a water carrier and took on a great responsibility beyond his capacity.

We also had two little butterflies, the apple of the house, and Jana, the favorites of their teachers and friends at school.

Then the war broke out and everything was turned upside down. We were forced to leave the house after quadcopters surrounded us, tanks surrounded us, and we saw death right in front of our eyes, but we miraculously escaped.

We were displaced several times on foot. Feet, then our end was in a tent that did not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer, and there were poisonous insects and scorpions around us, there was no clean water or healthy food, so my family and I got hepatitis and a lot of intestinal infections.

We were shocked that our house was bombed and destroyed and the features of the house disappeared from the face of the earth, so we felt very sad and despair took over us.

Life here in Gaza is expensive, we cannot buy the minimum necessities of life, imagine that the price of a kilo of tomatoes is $50, and the price of a bag of flour is $200, life here is like a famine! My father is a nervous patient and my mother suffers from chronic pressure and they need continuous treatment and medications. We suffer from bringing water from long distances, and from the high prices of food and cleaning materials and water pollution. What we have suffered most in this war is the loss of members of our family, and this is the hardest thing we have been through. We have lost 20 members of our family. Please help us bear the very high cost of living until we evacuate from Gaza and save our lives. The cost per person is $5,000. Help us, you are the only hope left."

These are some of the photos she's managed to receive of some of her family (Aya, Ahmed, Hala, Jana, and their cat) and of the conditions of the areas they've been displaced from and to:

Note: Due to mentioned lack of internet connection, Eslam has not been able to receive more photos yet. There will be more updates to come when, hopefully, more communications are made.

PLEASE DONATE !!!!! Aya, Lina, Ahmed, Hala, jana, and their parents' well beings are at stake! Starting goal is $10,000

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

Here's some actual flushing out for my au and its name-

(some things were changed from my first post)

'39 au

to set some context up, all of the kids' families are involved.

Both Miko's host and birth family know about the bots. They were introduced by complete accident when her birth family came to visit her in jasper.

Rafs family was in a more dangerous situation as they were "kidnapped" by a Mech associate (not by Silas, however, nor the accident to follow).

The rescue bots and burns are involved too, just more in the background. They get introduced to EVERYONE before the accident happens.

The kids knew the bots for 4 years. Over those years, the bonds between Cybertronian and humans grew stronger and stronger.

Making the timeline for when the start of events jack is 20, miko is 19, Raf is 16, and cody + frankie 14.

to the point that the bots carrier programs started running.

Now what events ill explain for now is that MECH was doing what they do best and meddling with things that they shouldn't, (a relic, idk if i wana make it a canon one or a made up one though. If canon, then I'll prob make it the key to vector Sigma.

Mech, in a mass grab to get the bots, had grabbed ALL INVOLVED. (they're sickos who needed "test subjects"). Fowler included. This included going public and in the town of jasper.

The event happened at their school. Many staff and families were caught in the crossfire.

In the end, they messed up and caused a large-scale explosion, the only ones making it out being tfp kids + Cody and Frankie. And very few civilians that were able to scramble out of the way.

They had to walk through the ruins before the government agents could find them.

Instead of going into the system. Raf, Cody, and Frankie are put into the governments custody. Raf gets early emancipation and lives with Jack while everything settles and funerals are planned for their families.

Frankie and Cody, due to not having anyone, are almost put into the system but are grabbed last moment by the government and made wards of the state.

Miko had to go back to Japan due to her being the heiress of her families business (the Nakadais being absolutely LOADED). Her families business afterward is run by their associates until Miko is more ready to take the business on.

in Junes will jack gained a small amount of savings and her home, Raf lives with him due to him losing the Esquivel house from being taken back by the bank (as a quick cash grab no less, later the bank gets sued and have to reimburse Raf).

to the world, anyone in that explosion is gone, and that explosion with the relic messed with more than meets the eye.

Living Cybertronians disappeared all over the galaxy. Throughout the cosmos, the wave took out any living Cybertronian (they got thanos snapped lol).

While unfortunate, the waves also woke up many beings who were asleep... both good and bad.

For that, let's just say something awoke hungry and vengeful. But for another, many woke up for the first time in millennia, filled with hope and a message from the prime in their helms.

And for our loveable cast, they won't be seeing each other for a very, VERY long time.

And who knows what has changed.

I'll be adding more to THIS^ in a different post. idk how i wana continue this by making it into a series, comic, fic, etc.

So much angst potential >:)

Adult jasper trio designs, more to come:

Sorry for the bad handwriting.

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.

On the happier version because Allspark fragging blessed the angst killed me too:

Pax manages to Tell Dee he's Sparked and Dee stands down. Mostly in shock. I'm a creator? Trial, ok public trial sounds good. Creator??

But Sentinel is a fragger and manages to mortaly wound Orion and get him over the cliff before Dee can catch Orion. Their fingertips brush as Orion falls away. Sentinel gets torn apart and beaten to death with his lower half. The rest of the party arives to hear Dee cursing the pulp that was Sentinel for killing Pax and their sparkling.

When Optimus Prime Rises Megatron's shocked speechless when Optimus tells him the Good News. "Little Tronus, he was still hanging in there in my spark chamber when Primus brought me back as a Prime. Our little guy's just as stubborn as you are." Fondly pating his spark chamber. No I will folow no more Prime speach. Too stunned. Just yelling "Pax you idiot!" and shaking Optimus.

We love timeline splitting.

But ohhhohoh Dee just wailing on Sentinel with his own legs, tearing out Megatronus's T cog but throwing it to the side in favor is rendering Sentinel to a paste.

When Optimus returns, Dee is shocked, tears streaming down his face, then he's pulling the new Prime closer, kissing him silly, now both are crying and holding eachother.
