202 Mohammed Awad
Help Mohammed Awad's Family Evacuate Gaza
❗️Hello everyone ❗️
, I am Mohammed Wissam Awad, a citizen of Gaza. I come to you with a broken heart, and I ask you to help me and my family.
I am writing to you and asking for help in any way to restore what the occupation has destroyed since October 7, 2023, so that my family and I can survive the war and save what remains of our lives because Gaza has become unlivable. There is no longer a suitable place to live. There is no solution other than evacuation to survive. Unfortunately, the price of evacuation from Gaza is very expensive!! We cannot bear these costs. There is no solution but to help you by donating, sharing our story, or praying for us.
I am talking to you, and after thinking for a long time before taking this step, but I realized that there is nothing left for us in Gaza after the occupation destroyed all our possessions, possessions, dreams and future... Therefore, I came to you and I am full of hope from you that your donations will cover the cost of survival and Evacuation to a better life..
The occupation destroyed our home and our dreams and moved me and my family to live in tents after ordering and forcing us to evacuate from northern Gaza.
We currently live in a camp in the Al-Zawaida area, and this is the thirteenth displacement since October 7, 2023, and we struggle daily to obtain clean water, food, and the rest of the necessities of life, despite the high prices that make us struggle more to obtain them..
We are 6 people, the number of my families. My father is Wissam Muhammad Awad, 49 years old, and currently without any income and does not work for any institution, and my mother, Ahlam Mahmoud Awad, 44 years old, is without a job now, and she suffers from a benign tumor in the thyroid gland, and its treatment is now not available in the Gaza Strip. Because of the genocidal war, my mother did not receive treatment for more than a year, which made her weaker and weaker. And my brothers: Mahmoud Wissam Awad, 19 years old, did not receive high school due to the war, and this led to the destruction of his future. Nour Wissam Awad, 16 years old, was also deprived of her education and life, and her future was destroyed. Ahmed Wissam Awad, 13 years old, was also deprived of education and was deprived of his childhood like the rest of the world’s children. What is his fault when he wakes up to the sound of explosions? What is his fault for coming into an environment where there is nothing but murder and injustice?!
During this war, we were accompanied by my older married sister, Walaa wisam Awad. During this war, we were accompanied by my older married sister, Walaa wisam Awad. She has a child named Samar, who was born during the war on 1/10/2024, but this child never received medical care during this war, and it is difficult to provide her with milk and supplies due to their lack of availability. Also, what is her fault for this child when she wakes up to a sound? Explosions instead of her waking up to the voice of her father and mother.
In conclusion. I hope that receiving my message is very important to you, and that it makes a difference for Palestinians in need. God bless you all...

In the midst of war, stories are born—some from the noise of bombs 💥 and cries of fear 😱, others from a mother’s tears 😭 as she watches her children , not
only from the dangers of weapons 💣 but from hunger 🍞 and disease 🤒.💔🌧️
In a small neighborhood in Gaza 🏘️, I live with my four children: Qusay, Jouri, Mohammed, and Adam. Poverty and hunger aren’t the only wounds in our lives; there’s another wound that burdens me and deepens our suffering. It’s the skin disease 🦠 that has affected me and my children, making each day feel like a new punishment ⚖️ added to a long list imposed by the harsh realities of war. I see the effects of the disease on my children; I see their innocent eyes 👀, weary from tears and pain 😢, their small, thin bodies 👦🏻👧🏻 weakened by malnutrition 🍲, and the innocence that is slowly vanishing under life’s cruelty.😞🩹🍞💔
Our suffering isn’t simple. War has shut the doors 🚪 of hope in my face. Many times, I’ve tried to find treatment for my children 🏥, but each time, war’s hand ✋ reaches out to deny us even the dream of good health 🛑. My heart 💔 aches as I look at them, feeling helpless 😔—an emotion I had never known before.
Qusay, my eldest at twelve 👦🏼, is a determined boy. He loves studying 📚 and dreams of becoming a doctor 👨⚕️ to one day relieve children from the pain he witnesses daily. But like all of us, he’s been caught in the clutches of war. He can’t even attend school 🏫 regularly and doesn’t feel safe in our small home 🏠.📚🏫💭
As for Jouri, my seven-year-old daughter 👧🏼, she doesn’t understand what war means, but she knows her days aren’t like other children’s. She feels pain when she looks at her small hands 🤲, irritated and itchy, and when she asks me why she’s hurting, I have no answer.💔🩹😢
Mohammed, my four-year-old son 👦🏽, has become mostly silent 🤐, speaking only a little, as if war has stolen both his voice 🎙️ and his childhood 🎈.🌧️😞💔
And finally, there’s Adam, my ten-month-old baby 👶, too young to understand anything, yet crying constantly 😢. His life is already filled with hunger 🍽️, pain 💢, and sickness 🤧.🍼💔😢
I stand at night 🌙 beside my children as they struggle to sleep 🛌, lifting my hands to the sky ☝️ in prayer 🙏, asking for God’s help. I have nothing for them but hope 💫 and prayers, and I am left only to wait⏳—waiting for a day when peace 🕊️ and mercy 💖 will come. A day when I can see my children laugh freely 😂, without fear 😨 or pain.🕊️🙏💔

,🆘dont skip please save my family from the genocide🆘
I will take amoment of your time
My name is Shadi Issa. I am married and a father of three children: Tia (6 years old), Ibrahim (4 years old), and Sand (1.5 years old). We currently live in Deir al-Balah, located in central Gaza, after being forced to flee from northern Gaza where we previously lived in Beit Lahia. We, along with over a million other Palestinians, had to relocate to the southern part of Gaza, specifically to Rafah, where we experienced a period of relative stability until the outbreak of the conflict.
Before the war, I worked as an accountant and we enjoyed a peaceful and stable life in our home, which comprised five residential apartments occupied by my extended family and me. We had access to amenities such as a water well and a solar power system, and we cultivated olive trees on our land. Our lives were proceeding normally, and my children were about to start the school year, until the fateful day of October 7, 2023, when the war erupted, turning our lives into a living nightmare. Our home was bombed, destroying our dreams and future.
Our displacement journey began amidst the bombing and danger, leading us to makeshift shelters lacking basic necessities. We face daily struggles to find drinking water, which is often unsuitable for use. We currently live in a tent no larger than five square meters, which offers no protection from the summer heat or winter cold, and provides no defense against insects, scorpions, and snakes, which have impacted the health of our children.
We have endured immense pain and fear, witnessing death repeatedly. The situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, and all escape routes are blocked. Returning to northern Gaza is prohibited due to security barriers. After seven months in Rafah, where we faced further bombing and losses, we moved to Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, where we lost all our belongings.
Escaping Gaza to Egypt is not easy and requires significant funds to cover travel costs and other fees. The estimated cost is $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child. The funds will be used to cover travel expenses and basic living costs in Egypt until we can rebuild our lives away from the ongoing conflict.
We are currently living in an extremely cramped tent, and we have lost everything we once had. I kindly ask for your assistance in raising $20,000, which will enable us to escape to Egypt, where we can be safe and start a new life, and where our children can attend school and have a chance at a normal life.
Any contribution, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated and will help save our lives. We urge you to support us and help us in this critical time.

So, I guess as a middle range millennial, I now get to tell all you young queer kids that what you are feeling right now is exactly how it felt in 2004 when we re-elected George Bush, and not only that but many states put in bans against gay/same sex marriage at the time.
This is probably not comforting, but it is true, and it helps me when I feel hopeless: For every revolution there is a counter revolution, for every step forward there is a step back, that things may not be good forever but they will not be bad, either. That we clawed our way to get where we are and we can claw our way forward from here, too. Talk to your queer elders, the ones who have been here before and will be here again and who threw bricks at Stonewall.
When I was a child, if you got AIDS it was a death sentence. Now it isn't. Now you live on.
So I'll quote angels in america: You are fabulous creatures, each and every one. And I bless you: More Life. The Great Work Begins.

I always hate it when people are all “so do you go to school, or are you working, or” and I either have to
make up some lie, or
eventually get around to “I am not working because of depression/anxiety,” and subsequently have to deal with whatever bullshit-riddled and completely unsolicited opinions on mental illness this stranger feels obligated to share with me.
So my therapist was like, “You don’t have to do either. You can just say you haven’t worked in a while because you’re recovering from an illness.”
I tried it when the home inspector was here today, and it fucking worked. He was like, “oh, I’m sorry, are you doing better now,” and I’m like yeah, and don’t worry, it’s not contagious, awkward laugh, and we moved on.
MY THERAPIST. IS A GENIUS. Because it is an illness, so it’s not a lie to say that, and it’s also none of his business to know specifically what it is, and I clearly don’t want to give more details, so we should move on from this topic. MY THERAPIST IS A GODDAMN GENIUS.

I don't know who needs to hear this but anyone saying "Just stop- You sound like Trump voters after he lost in 2020" in regards to those considering asking for a recount are either psyops or woefully ignorant of the situation.
You don't sound like a sore loser for taking note of the well documented cases of burned ballot boxes in at least three states, and multiple bomb threats to polling places in heavily democrat-populated areas in swing states, which shut them down for hours on election day.
Or taking note of other alleged voting interferences such as mail-in ballot tampering, or the case where a mail carrier has been arrested for stealing and forging mail-in ballots in Colorado.
Or for taking note of the fact that Trump constantly told us he "had a secret plan" to win the election on election day.
Or the fact that conservatives (and Trump) have a long history of cheating, and the fact that there's literally evidence that they meddled in at least the last two elections.
And no, I won't be linking sources, because I want you to look this up yourself instead of just taking my word for it.
My point is that it's reasonable to be suspicious and want to double check, especially given all that I listed above.
The reason we called Trump voters sore losers wasn't because they asked for a recount- they had every right to do so, just as we do now.
They were called sore losers because not only had there been no evidence of tampering or fraud (unlike this election), they didn't stop at asking for a recount- they got violent and started not only multiple riots, but also an attempted fucking coup where they stormed the capitol and chanted that they were going to hang Mike Pence because he refused to overturn the election.
Ask for the damn recounts if you want them. Every party has the right to ask for a recount.
Is there a good chance it changes nothing? Of course!
The worst that might happen when asking for a recount is just finding out that the count was accurate and needing to accept that and move forward.
But that still doesn't make it stupid for someone to ask for one given the fact we saw in real time several reports of election tampering. Besides, even if it doesn't change the outcome of the presidential election there's still a chance it might influence the outcome of the local elections, which are also very important!
This obsession with the left needing to appear constantly stoic and poised and unbothered, to the point of being too embarrassed to stand up for ourselves or even ask questions in fear of "looking as bad as them" is going to be the death of all of us.
***
[Adding this to the main post as well]
There's something to be said here about the fact that, upon checking the blogs, all the people (aside from 1) who have trolled this post have been open trump supporters gaslighting people in the notes and actively saying anyone who considers asking for a recount is stupid and/or delusional. (The comments have been since deleted and/or hidden to avoid further hate and trolling in the notes, full disclosure.)
And it speaks volumes at the lengths they're going to, to try and equate even suggesting a recount to denying the election or conspiracy theory.
Recounting the votes is literally the barest thing you could ask for. It's one step up from nothing. Hell, this post doesn't even suggest an investigation, let alone tells anyone to riot in the streets screaming that the election was stolen. It just tells people that if they're questioning anything based off any of tampering attempts we've seen so far, that it's ok to ask for a recount or to track your ballot. Tampering doesn't inherently mean stolen election, it means there was tampering, and it's ok to want to double check things to make sure counts are right. Local elections are just as important as the presidential, and people have every right to want to make sure their votes get counted for any/all of them. Nothing about that points to panicking, and it's kinda weird to imply it does. If anything it makes it look like you think your party cheated, regardless if the other party does or doesn't. I mean, unless you thought your party cheated, why wouldn't you also be advocating for recounts just for the transparency of proving your party won fair and square? It's weird that they're trying to get in everyone's head and make people feel crazy for suggesting we do even the bare minimum to double-check any of the races. Again, not saying a recount would flip the election. But many local elections get very close and a recount could always flip one of those.
But yeah, people need to stop acting like leftists are panicking just because they're doing their due diligence to make sure every vote was counted. It's weird.
