‘This won’t work, this isn’t widespread, nobody knows, we’re in a bubble, blah blah blah’ my mom, a 64 year old lady with no social media whose first language is spanish, told me about this before tumblr did, and said we are going to participate.
A helicopter has just arrived. stood above my head me and my cousin on the seashore. It continued to rotate for about a quarter of an hour with a loud noise. She turned around several times. Then it stopped steadily, heading east. It fired a missile towards the tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis. Six innocent people were torn to pieces. Their tents burned. I survived Unfortunately, I am banned from Tumblr messages. I cannot respond to anyone. Because I asked someone for help and he reported me .
This is my last call Please support my family in the evacuation from Gaza To receive treatment for the wounded and burned in my family it is expected that the crossing will open at the beginning of the new year .
PLEASE help mohammed, if you have seen my posts about him & his family recently you know they are going through an extremely tough period right now and have been struggling to cover expenses like medical care & winter clothes already. there are 27 extended family members drawing from these funds and the money goes fast; they have almost nothing saved up at this point & no other way to earn income with their jobs and houses destroyed for a year now in the bombings.
My name is Salman Helles from the afflicted and massively destroyed Gaza Strip..
My family consists of many children, women and elderly people and we are suffering from horrific tragic conditions .. Our house was bombed in the northern Gaza Strip and we were displaced to the southern Gaza Strip to Deir al-Balah and the family was scattered in tents and shelters in Deir al-Balah .. The conditions are extremely tragic where children suffer from the spread of diseases among them and the elderly and women in my family suffer from miserable conditions ..
There is no water, food or electricity in the Gaza Strip and the treatment is getting worse day after day ..
For more than 330 days we have been oppressed and wronged in the Gaza Strip and we are exposed to violent barbaric bombing ..
We would never ask for help and donations but the miserable conditions in the Gaza Strip forced us to do so ..
I met this nice girl through my college friend. She’s my friend’s childhood best friend and I had heard so much about her so I was really excited to finally meet her. The three of us hung out at a stupid school-sponsored event into the late hours of the night, drinking soda and eating pizza and getting to know each other. At the end of it, she entered into a raffle and ended up winning free tickets to Disneyland. We celebrated and parted ways. It was the highlight of that semester.
A few months later, Israel began dropping bombs on her family home. I watched from afar as her entire life fell apart and her family was displaced and killed. Every time I asked how she was doing, she was doing bad.
In Palestine, as in a lot of places in the world, it is shameful to ask for money. A little bit after the war began, I passed a message along to her family offering to help raise funds for their evacuation, but they declined saying that they didn’t want pity from anyone. Now it seems like they’re running out of options.
My friend has already lost so much so please spare her the additional indignity of asking for help and not receiving it. I can’t imagine how soul crushing it would be to do something you believe to be shameful and for your effort to go to waste.
Their goal is only $5000 and they’ve already raised ~$820, I don’t see why we can’t raise the full amount within the next week.
Verified by the fact that this is literally my IRL. DM me if u wanna see her Instagram or other contact info proving she’s real. Tumblr is a rather unsafe place for Palestinians so I’d rather not publicize all her personal info but I’ve been pretty careful with the fundraisers I boost on this blog so I hope you can trust me here.
EDIT 08/24/24:
Thank you all so much for your support. You have no idea what it means to me after so many months of witnessing zionist attacks both online and off, to see so many people come together and commit to helping someone I care about without a single zionist comment. There’s nothing but love here.
My friend reached her goal early this morning and I even saw people encouraging others to keep donating because they realized her family would need more. I am truly moved by this incredible show of compassion from everyone.
As you can imagine, life in Gaza is becoming increasingly more expensive. My friend has raised her goal to $10000 - let’s keep this train going and get her there within a week 🙏
Falestine is married and has a 3 month old baby, and cannot afford to even give him diapers and milk.
She was made to give birth during this onslaught, and immediately moved from the hospital to a tent. Her home was bulldozed by the occupation, leaving her and her family displaced. The tent where they live is horribly unhygienic and plagued with disease; they are next to a public toilet and surrounded by dirt and waste.
Her mother is chronically ill, and her father tragically suffered a stroke. They currently have no way to treat her illness.
In order to evacuate and provide basic necessities for Falestine’s family, this campaign needs to raise $40,000 USD. Currently, they’ve raised $15,172; A great amount, but not enough.
Please help Falestine and her family. Donate if you’re able to, and share the campaign. No one deserves be forced to live through these horrible conditions.
@danashehab has been fundraising since may and is just over €15,000 away from their goal l. as stated in the screenshot people are starting to believe the rafah crossing will open so it’s important to make sure everyone has the funds in case they are allowed to evacuate.
thee shehab family consists of dana (13), sahar (14), mona (9), malak (5), yehya (1.5), fahed, (38), reem (32), and grandmother mona (60). they have been shadowbanned and deleted a few times. you can also find this family at @monashehab
