We have known about this extended family and the area they live in since mid July. However, it was not until this week that we could come in and serve this encampment of destroyed and makeshift tents.
Just to show you that no one in Gaza is immune to the suffering and pain, Refaat Alareer’s family, despite his magnitude as a Palestinian scholar and activist, is living in some of the worst tents we have seen.
It was our honor to assist them and respect the legacy of the man who we are so fortunate to have been given permission to name our camp after. Check back later in the week to see how we provided tents for Refaat’s brother’s family and supported the encampment that needed so much help.”
Please continue to give so we can serve these communities with shelter this winter. The Tents, Cash Aid, and Medical campaign:

my dads recently been jokin a lot about “mystic runes” like i asked what we were gonna do when we took a rest stop in santa barbara and he said “look for mystic runes” and then i asked if we were gonna eat or just walk around while my mom shopped and he said “the runes will tell us”
hi my paycheck wont drop into my acct till the 25th, but my husband and i have no money until then for cat food, needs for daily living and food. im linking my cashapp and venmo as those are reliable ways to pay us, but please also dm me if you have zelle. paypal is
please donate as we have nothing until i get my paycheck!! even $20 would be anything to live on. thank you for continuing to support a queer homeless couple.
we still very badly need to buy cat food, as well as some supplies for sickness(tissues, meds) so please keep sharing!
$50 needed still!
only one donation thus far, please help! even a dollar adds up if everyone sends one.
trying a different approach and writing a shorter post. my friend mohamed (@ayeshjourney) vets campaigns on the ground in gaza for @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi (these campaigns are on their spreadsheet here), and also helps run the blog @/gaza-evacuation-funds.
mohamed is raising funds for his family, and his campaign is very low on donations. he does so much to help so many people, and i hope we can show him the same support and generosity. please consider donating even £5 if it is within your means, and if you cannot donate please reblog, and please follow mohamed for any updates!
Without Mohammed Ayesh, nearly a hundred of the families on our list simply wouldn’t be there. He has been a lifeline for the people of Ghazzah.
Let him know how much you value his hard work.
