I am a developer from Gaza, just trying to help me and my family https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-give-my-family-life-again My PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/aidforbalsam?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaYnUJqLnvrxe6VU2ifgIzxnE_iyhpCU_opral48KV2_gsBxaj6fYnHMcOA_aem_rW9c4VaPG_fPUdas1dPdYg
Before the War: My Life as a Programmer

Before the war, my life was filled with lines of code, problem-solving, and creative thinking. I was a programmer—building web and mobile apps, writing backend systems in C# and ASP.NET. My days were spent developing projects, learning new technologies, and growing in my career. It wasn’t always easy, but I loved what I did. My work gave me purpose, and my future felt full of possibility.

Now: Life in War

Now, my reality has drastically changed. I live under constant threat, in a war zone, with my family. The sound of explosions has replaced the hum of my computer. Each day is a struggle for survival, filled with fear, grief, and uncertainty.

I have lost loved ones—my cousins, my aunt, and her children. And I have lost my job, my sense of security, and the dreams I once had as a programmer. The war took away my work, but more than that, it has taken away the life I knew.

Hope for the Future

But despite it all, I hold on to hope. Hope that one day, I will return to the work I love. Hope that one day, my family and I can live in peace. Like anyone else in the world, we deserve to feel safe, to dream again, and to rebuild what was lost.

Dear Reader, I hope to share the story of a dear family whom I love as my own blood relations, the Ibrahims.My friend Balsam, her parents, siblings, and other relatives have now returned to their family home in Zeitoun on Al-Jalaa street as of January 28th, 2025. The family, having endured over 7 different displacements in which they were forced to move to an alternate and unknown location under orders that provided little to no warning or path for safety...moving constantly to locations where shelter, supplies, or any goods to provide for their needs would be hard to access. They endured and survived for 15 months under severly detrimental conditions to their health and safety, not knowing if they would be able to return to their beautiful home, if it would be left standing or whether it would be damaged beyond livability.Fortunately, the return of Balsam's family to their home showed them ultimately, thanks to Allah, and in faith, that the home remains there for them, and with the allowance of time and care, we as people who stand up for the right of self-determination and justice for the Palestinian people, CAN and WILL unite behind this family in order to assist the uplifting of them and their home to it's former greatness.If you are able to provide this family any form of support today, please do so! We are a small team of friends working to supporting the Ibrahim family in their needs to re-fortify their home and it's structure, to repair, mend, and rehabilitate their dear and cherished home back to a place that supports the family in recieving comfort, rest, solitude, and health again. Please think about what it might be like to be forced away from your home for over a year, and to live outside under constant bombardment without regular food supply or clean water. All families deserve to heal from this grief that they existed under, and we hope to provide a foundational form of care in helping the Ibrahim family repair their home.Please do not hesitate to share our message with other potential supporters, with a greater amount of folks seeing and supporting the Ibrahim family, a more significant amount of repairs will be able to take place. Your aid contribution directly impacts the family's ability to rehabilitate their multi-family home, and we dearly pray that you would love to help this house become a warm and loving home once again. Think of yourself being one stroke of paint on a wall of the Ibrahim family home, with many paint strokes of generous supporters we can give the wall it's color. Please be a stroke of paint, a symbol of color and life, provide this family some way to give their lives renewal.Thank you for reading our message,This link for Donate

Hello everyone, and thank you for joining me to read about our fundraising work and the achievement of our goals within this newly launched campaign; Winter Sadaqah, A Warm Clothing Fund for Palestinian Families!

Please read our cost breakdown in the graphic to understand what the equivalent of $1000 USD will be able to provide.

Your help, in any way that you are able to, by continually supporting this current fundraiser is immensely necessary right now! With our collective assistance, we can ensure that the fundraising goals are being met in an adequate and timely manner, and that distribution of cash aid for clothing is able to be accomplished rapidly and without delay! Some ways that we can be uplifted are; firstly by sharing this fundraiser to your friends, companions, loved ones and other meaningful connections who may be able to help us level up and further our reach to new eyes and generosity. Our visibility is the one of the more meaningful parts of this work, and we cannot state it enough; many of us who are working behind the scenes on this and other campaigns do this work in our spare time, and advocacy is greater achieved when many others are picking up this small yet necessary part of the work! Please consider who, if even just one other being, that you may share this campaign with TODAY.

Secondly; we are looking to gather the foundational support of potential sustaining members in this community, to draw continuous support if they are able to give on a repetitive basis. If you are reading this, and you believe that you may be able to commit to regular contributions to our fund, in a weekly or bi-monthly manner, please exercise your support of this campaign's growth to NEXT LEVELS 2-8, so that our fundraising is supported and uplifted by continuous giving. Continuous giving ensures that our fund meets the goal rapidly, and when new visitors see that a campaign is actively recieving donations, it is more likely that the fund will be given attention and support.

Thank you so much for recieving our message and reading the update we have been able to provide regarding the campaign; Winter Sadaqah, A Warm Clothing Fundraiser for Palestinian Families. We hope you will consider the needs of this campaign, and the many lives of community members who are counting on this fund to offset the immense barrier of access to winter supplies.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️.

🚨🚨URGENT APPLE 🚨🚨

Please don’t wait until I lose a member of my family.

I watch my little sister, so small and innocent, now suffering like countless other children.😢 It breaks my heart that we can't provide her with the care and treatment she desperately needs.💔😢

Here, we are dying slowly, our voices drowned out, our pain ignored as if our lives have no value.😔😔

Sorry for my absence, we’ve been facing huge challenges with constant displacement. We’re struggling to get flour just to have something to eat 🍞.

I want to thank everyone who checked on me and my family, your care means so much 🙏.

Thank you to everyone who kept sharing my campaign while I was away 💬.

It saddens me to say that the link to our campaign has now become our lifeline. Through it, we can get food, water, and meet some of our needs for the winter ❄️.

We’re living in incredibly difficult conditions, under great oppression and injustice 😞. Your support is the only thing keeping us strong and moving forward 💪.

my day's been okay. my shift began late so i managed to do three loads of laundry (my least favorite chore), some ironing, and painted my nails.

and since we're here, i kinda wanna just make this quick:

  • balsam @balsamibrahim is 26, and a programmer from gaza
  • she's been displaced more than 10 times
  • she's trying to raise funds to get her family out of gaza
  • her parents are chronically ill and she's the sole provider of her family of 11
  • she has been vetted
  • she has managed to raise €19,197 of her total goal of €100,000.

💻 @balsamibrahim 💻 gfm 💻 paypal 💻

you can also find updates in her gfm link.

please donate to her if you can!! whatever you can spare is more than enough. and please, do reblog this post! if you've voted in the poll, reblog. please.

You truly brought me to tears 😭❤️🙏… I never knew there were still people standing me, trying to make my voice and my family’s voice heard by the world. 400 days of this suffering have passed, and I am still searching for a compassionate hand to reach out to me, still asking for help amidst all this pain 😢😢

Thank you so much 🙏❤️

Balsam's campaign has been moving so slowly — as of 19:28 GMT on 11 November 2024, she has received no donations in 24 hours and just one in four days, and her campaign is still at €19,197 / €100,000.

She is trying to reach her short-term goal of €20,000, and is still €803 away.

Thank you 🙏❤️

Please reblog and donate if you can 🙏❤️
