Help a Palestinian family survive 🍉

I've made many posts on Lina's (@linooomo, previously linasaif) behalf by this point. The above video is of her son, Saif, being terrified of the sound of constant bombing. This was back when they still had a roof over their heads--now Lina, her husband, Saif, and Saif's even younger sister Sidra are living out of a tent, more vulnerable than ever.

Unfortunately, her campaign has grown completely stagnant. Last week, we didn't even meet half of the minimum goal.

However, I'm not giving up on trying to help her, and neither should you.

Lina needs to buy food and water, as well as milk and diapers for Sidra. She is only 10 months old! As seen in the linked posts, she's suffering from serious diaper rash that has only just begun to heal.

If you were a mother, how would you choose between feeding your family and getting milk and diapers for your baby who's in pain?

Lina has told me that PayPal is faster and imposes less of a fee than GFM, so a friend helped me set up a PayPal campaign. You can donate to this even without a PayPal account. The goal is roughly set to cover the family's needs for the next two weeks.

• 🍞 A 25kg bag of flour: 80 euros
• 🐣 Diapers: 60 euros
• 🍼 3 cartons of milk: 60 euros
• 🍅 Vegetables when available, and other supplies: 100 euros
• 💧 Water (for drinking, cleaning, and hygiene): 80 euros
• 💸 Withdrawal fee: 30%

TIME SENSITIVE, PLEASE HELP BILAL

We want to extend our deepest gratitude and thanks to all the people who came out in support of Bilal‘s campaign and shared and donated. 

I‘m really happy to announce that not only have some of the funds raised benefitted his family in Gaza, but it has also helped Bilal find a new place to stay, away from his terrible ex-employer and landlord, and has enabled him to extend his residency for another month. He  is no longer at risk of deportation right now. It’s only thanks to your incredible support that all this was possible.

But despite all these good news, we need your help again. 

There is currently no option to transfer funds from Germany to Gaza, as bank transfers to Gaza are being blocked by the German government. This means Bilal has to first transfer the funds to a bank in another country, and then from there to Gaza. The funds currently take a very long time to reach his family, and require Bilal to pay a high fee for the transfer as well. 

On top of that, his ex-employer and landlord had extorted a large sum (€4800) from Bilal – a sum he claimed he still owed him from the time he was employed under him. With no other source of income at the time, Bilal saw no choice but to pay it using some of the money from the campaign. 

Bilal feels extremely conflicted to be asking for help so soon again after reaching his last goal. But he unfortunately sees no other option due to the aforementioned problems. 

We need your help in fighting the repression from the German government and also making sure that the funds you helped Bilal raise also reach his family in full. 

This is why we need to raise €8,850 by the 15th of September i.e within the next 2 weeks. he currently has raised €101,150 of €110,000

This amount will help make up for the funds that were extorted from him by his landlord and help him pay the fees for multiple international bank transfers.

Please help Bilal reach his goal in time. You have gotten him this far, please don't let him down now.

his campaign has been verified and can be found on @/el-shab-hussein’s and @/nabulsi’s list of vetted fundraisers here (#132, line 136) so PLEASE don't hesitate to share and donate.

I asked my brother to send me pictures of our home to see how it looked after the destruction. Among the photos he sent, one stood out to me—a picture of my little brother sitting amidst the rubble, drawing the Palestinian flag. Despite the devastation surrounding him, his only focus was on our homeland.

This image renewed my sense of hope and resilience, reminding me that our love for our country remains strong despite all the challenges.

As I look at this picture, I am reminded of the strength and spirit of my family, even in the face of the harsh conditions they are enduring. But they need more than just resilience to survive. They need help.

I have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help my family leave Gaza and secure a safer future. Your support can make a real difference in their lives. Please consider donating and sharing the campaign so we can bring them to safety.

€8,830 raised of €50,000 goal

We are now very close to reaching the second goal of my campaign, with €8,830 of 10,000. This brings us closer to securing the safety of my younger brother and sister.

Thank you so much for your generosity and for helping us keep hope alive.

would you sacrifice yourself to save your loved ones?

someone you love more than almost anything in the world, someone sick or injured or elderly—what would you do if saving them meant giving yourself up? can you even imagine having to make that choice?

i can't. but that's the reality for mohammed, and he already knows his answer: he will save his family before himself. he will evacuate his most vulnerable family members from gaza—his sister, still healing from a quadcopter bullet; the sick; those who need to flee most urgently—and he will stay behind if that's what's necessary. 8 displacements, his home destroyed, his job gone, bombs falling around him and his life utterly uprooted, and his first thought is only of helping others.

this is an awful, inhumane, horrific position for anyone to be in. and yet i'm writing this post because so far, he doesn't even have the funds necessary to evacuate his most critically injured family members—let alone to start thinking about himself.

please help the iwais family.

In these difficult times, Ahmed's family faces death time and again. They have been displaced from northern Gaza to Rafah, from Rafah to Khan Younis, and from Khan Younis to Al-Maghazi camp. Now, they are being forced to flee once more under the threat of eviction. Each displacement puts them in new danger, and each time they leave behind what they cannot carry, heading to unsafe places near the occupying forces' tanks, simply because other areas are overcrowded with displaced people and they have no choice but to stay close to danger.

Ahmed lives in constant worry and fear for his family. He cannot always stay in touch with them under these conditions and is haunted by the nightmare of potential massacres as they move to yet another location. It is time for all of us to stand by Ahmed's family and support them in escaping this hell.

The borders are currently closed, but there is hope. We must raise the necessary funds for their travel before the crossing opens, as the opportunity will not last long. Every minute of delay could be fatal.

I urge you from the depths of my heart to be part of this humanitarian effort. If you cannot donate, please help us by sharing this post with your friends and on your pages. Let us unite to save Ahmed's family before it's too late.

Please, do not ignore this plea. It is a matter of life and death.

Don't skip🙏🙏

This is my current situation in the area that they call a safe area, and this is not true. Rather, everything is exposed to danger and bombing. Let me tell you about the area that you see in some of the pictures that I am sharing. Diseases have spread, and there is a lack of healthy drinking water.😭🤐

Or let me tell you, the absence of all life's resistances is nonexistent.

There is no health, no food, no healthy food. 😔😐

There is a lot to talk about and it is very difficult for us to speak so that you can help us, but we need your help because all doors have been closed in our faces 😭😭😭😭

I want your help, my campaign, I repeat again, is going slowly 😔😥 Please help us 🙏🙏🙏

urgent aid needed for a school massacre survivor

in addition to fundraising for their evacuation, Mohammed @mohammedhaboubsblog's family needs our urgent immediate support for rent and medical treatment in Gaza

Mohammed's sister Farah was injured in an IOF school massacre last week and they still need $948 USD (9,986 SEK) to cover her treatment. they'll also need $3000 USD (31,597 SEK) for September's rent

can we raise the remaining $948 (9,986 SEK) for Farah's treatment by tomorrow, August 16th? we need to reach 91,103 SEK on the GFM to meet this goal

after that, we'll need to reach at least 122,700 SEK by August 30th to cover next month's rent so they don't lose their housing while Farah recovers!

you can find more details and documentation on Mohammed's blog, and this campaign was shared by @/90-ghost. please support Mohammed's family in meeting these goals! reblog, share widely, and most importantly please donate whatever you can spare

$5 USD = 52.67 SEK
