I feel like ive seen quite a few gfms getting passed around and ive observed that a lot of them have stories of such exceptional people who have achieved so much, or were going to before the genocide cut it off. And i really commend them for it, i really do.

But it breaks my heart that palestinians reaching out to us feel the need to have to prove that they are they are good people who are worth the support, like theyre only worth being supported if they had a good gpa or were exceptional in some way.

They shouldnt have to prove that theyre beneficial to the economy somehow to be worth the support. They shouldnt have to be exceptional to deserve help. Our governments are putting them through this, both in the west and around the world too. They shouldnt have to prove anything. We owe them this

Ok this got a lot of notes unexpectedly so gonna link a few fundraisers here of people who reached out to me.

i feel incredibly suicidal

But I never recovered and probably never will I can't do this anymore. i don't see the point of doing anything, my abusive father is divorcing my mother and cutting us off financially I can't do this anymore I cant get a job nor do I want to look for one I just want to fucking kill myself. I've been ebegging for a while now but I've barely made a dent in the survival fund goal I'm begging you help me if you can in anyway. I want to meet my goal by the end of the year

samah is $771 away from her next goal!

samah @samah-h is fundraising for herself, her husband and children, and her husband's siblings and families. she's already been displaced multiple times, lost her job, and been forced to give birth in a field hospital without anaesthesia. luckily, her infant son survived, but he's lived his entire life so far under this genocidal siege.

samah wants to evacuate her family as soon as possible, and she doesn't want to miss her chance when rafah crossing re-opens. in the meantime, she's dealing with high daily expenses, and hasn't been able to find help elsewhere.

Currently at $9,229 USD!

The last donation has been made 13 hours ago! Samah has given birth during this dangerous time and her newborn's initial exposure to the world is constant horror and violence! At the same time, the prices for baby formula, diapers, clothing, blankets, and other essentials have been sky rocketing! She needs to purchase them so she and her family can be safe and warm! So donate and share!

Baby diapers..

a daily nightmare for mothers and fathers

Like salt on the wound, the “battle” of providing diapers imposes itself daily on my brother Ahmed and my sister Fatima, who are exhausted by hunger, poverty, displacement, and the repercussions of the genocidal war that has been ongoing since October 7, 2023.

Fatima's child suffered infections and diseases as a result of the lack of diapers.

As for my young child, Amir, he did not wear diapers before the war, but the bombing, fear, cold, and living in a displacement tent gave him bladder problems that led to involuntary urination.

The reason for the skyrocketing price of diapers is the continued closure of the crossings in Gaza.

Please help me pay for diapers for my family's children.

Support, share a paragraph

€3,415 / €4000

Siraj is immensely grateful for your help in raising funds that have gone into acquiring food. However, the struggle is far from over and as the genocide rages on, it is the children who are being unchilded everyday by the occupation. It hurts to know that the basic hygiene products to ensure a child's good health are barely accessible in Gaza. The kids in Siraj's family are struggling, and their parents are making do with scraps of clothing. Unfortunately since there is no proper way to sanitize these clothes, infections have spread. So please boost and donate to Siraj's gofundme: even a pack of diapers may help relieve and contain the spread of infection.

If you have donated to the old campaign, consider requesting a refund and donating the amount back to Siraj's new campaign.

€3425/ €4000

After visiting the dermatologist today, he recommended purchasing diapers for the children as soon as possible to prevent the skin disease from getting worse.

We need to reach 4000€ to be able to buy diapers for our children who are not at fault for living this cruelty and this oppression. They pay the price of extermination war with their illness and hunger.

Help for them, and if you can't, share.

EMERGENCY: PLEASE READ!!

I’ll keep it short.

As winter sets in and the weather gets colder, let’s take a second to remember those moments in less fortunate times, almost no access to basic necessities, and no guarantee o

Mahmoud (@ma7moudgaza2)’s campaign has stagnated badly. Mahmoud and his family have gone through a lot- their home was destroyed, they’ve survived the Al-Shifa massacre, they’ve gone through starvation, and Mahmoud himself has struggled to pay tution fees to sit for his exams remotely, amongst all of this.

Now, he has decided to evacuate Gaza. I appeal to your humanity, please consider how you would feel if you were forced to evacuate your beloved home without your family. Can you imagine being pushed to that extent?

Mahmoud needs to evacuate Gaza to continue his education and work. But before he can do that, he needs to continuously withdraw funds from his campaign to provide for his family as well. I hope this highlights how urgent his situation is, and how he needs a steady stream of donations to survive.

Please, please, please DONATE AND SHARE TO WHOEVER YOU CAN, mutuals, family and friends, whoever can help- as the smallest amount can go a long way to helping him reach his goal!!

🚨 : Be the Light in the Darkness: £10 for a Brighter Future ⁉️

If you stand with Palestine and believe that Palestinians deserve freedom and an end to this devastating war, I urge you to make a mandatory donation of £10.

Why is this donation essential? Or perhaps you feel you shouldn’t give £10? Ask yourself this: could you survive in a place like this?

Could you endure living where every step feels like walking over buried bodies, where life is consumed by fear and loss?

And if you were in my place, living in a war-torn home filled with unimaginable pain, wouldn’t you feel a glimmer of hope if someone extended their hand to help? Wouldn’t you be grateful for even the smallest act of kindness?

Hey everyone. If you've been following @siraj2024's fundraiser, we (me and other tumblr users who are Siraj's friends) need you to know that his GoFundMe campaign was taken down yesterday. We don't now why and we're awaiting for official confirmation by the site. We're thinking of potential alternatives in the meantime.

Me and others are in contact with Siraj. He and his family are okay, but they've had difficult winter nights in the camp.

Please be patient and share this post so it can get to his supporters.

Israeli air raids have killed dozens of people, including children, in northern, central, and southern Gaza, Palestinian officials and media have said, as the besieged territory endures its 44th day of bombardment.

Mohammed ayesh and his family are currently at Nuseirat and are in constant danger due to the bombardment and right now the best thing you can do to help is to please donate to his fundraiser. Money raised will go towards his family's daily expenses as well as to help his younger brother repair his hearing aids that were damaged during this time.

Ayesh ( @ayeshjourney ) has been running the @gaza-evacuation-funds account and verifying fundraisers on the ground, all while also being a healthcare worker in a warzone. Please show him appreciation for his hardwork by donating anything you can spare to his fundraiser.

"Life in Tents: Between War and Rain"

For the first time, winter has become a heavy nightmare instead of a season of rest and tranquility. In these fragile tents that barely withstand the wind, the cold and rain have come to expose their weakness and deepen our suffering.

Last night, we were completely flooded. The ground beneath us turned into a pool, and the rain pierced through the tent, relentlessly falling on our heads. The children shivered from the cold, their small hands desperately seeking warmth amidst soaked blankets. I tried my best to wrap them in my arms, to create a sense of safety in the midst of this fear, but everything around us kept getting worse.

As if wars and destruction weren’t enough, winter has come to complete the harshness of our conditions. The rain seeps through mercilessly, and the cold paralyzes us. Yet, we will endure. We have no choice but to endure, but the situation worsens day by day, and we don’t know what tomorrow will bring under these cruel circumstances.

$6,838 USD / $10,000 USD

Only 162$ left to reach 7,000$

Thank you all❤️

3 British actionists managed to disrupt the production of crucial components for Israel's F-35 fighter jets in Teledyne's weapons factory for an entire year, just 3 people.

ELDERLY DIABETES PATIENT NEEDS MEDICINE AND SUPPLIES!!

Maha’s @mahaibrahim12 family is in desperate need of mutual aid to support their family. This includes Maha, her husband Ahmed @ahmed-family-1 , their two small children, and Ahmed’s parents. Maha’s father-in-law has suffered from diabetes for many years. After losing the family home to IOF bombardment and being displaced, the family was living in a tent on the street. The occupation recently bombed the tent, resulting in Maha, her daughter, a s her father-in-law being injured. Her father-in-law suffered a broken pelvis, which currently can only be treated with bed rest. However, this means he is unable to move, and his blood circulation is very poor as a result. This is very bad news for a diabetic. As a result, Maha’s father-in-law has fallen gravely ill. He was rushed to the hospital last night, and remains in critical condition.

The family needs money for his treatment. They also need money for food and water, and they especially need a new tent. Theirs was destroyed in the IOF bombing, and they are currently completely unsheltered. Please support them and share this post, as well as the posts on their blogs, as quickly as possible. Maha’s father-in-law is in serious need of medicine to treat his symptoms!
