Stand with Darine @drdarine and her family in their time of need. Pin this post to your blog and be a part of a heartfelt journey to make a difference. Together, our compassion can create hope.

Israel has taken more members of Darine’s extended family. Are they next? Does it even matter anymore? It feels like nothing does. They just need to know.

Their home, car, and belongings have been destroyed repeatedly, leaving them with nothing but a tent for shelter. They have endured hunger, a severe lack of drinking water, and over 14 months without education no schools, no hope for a future. Now, they live with no money, struggling daily for even the most basic necessities.

Yet, despite these unimaginable hardships, Darine has managed to complete the first semester of her third year in medical school, thanks to your unwavering support. She’s a bit behind, but progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Every step forward counts.

Darine continues to fight for her family, helping them survive while holding herself together. She refuses to give up, no matter how overwhelming the pain. Your support could be the lifeline they so desperately need during this relentless wave of suffering.

Her brother Ahmed created a video that Darine wanted to share with all of us. It’s a collection of memories from their lost lives, and watching it brought tears to our eyes. Perhaps we’re just emotional.

#Nabulsi has been my rock, always standing by me with unwavering kindness and support. Such a rare and #selfless soul deserves all the goodness the world can give.

Thanks ♥️

UPDATE: NEW LINK! Yahya and his family were displaced by the IOF, and are currently residing in Deir al-Balah, south-central Gaza.

Life as displaced Gazans was already extremely difficult for them. Food is very scarce, and their living conditions leave them exposed to the elements. Here is the frequent condition of their tent now that the winter rains have come:

Then, Yahya’s father was injured. Some cartilage was damaged in his neck, and doctors say he requires IMMEDIATE surgery to avoid permanent paralysis.

Yahya and his family previously had another campaign, but it was suddenly shut down by GFM with no explanation. They have created a new one, but it has EXTREMELY LOW FUNDS.

The surgery is a stifling €15,000 euros (about $15,729 USD). Yahya and his family have no hope of paying for it without your help.

I am currently watching an elderly loved one lose their mobility, and it is an extremely heartbreaking and isolating situation. I cannot imagine what Yahya and his family are going through, having no social or financial support and only minimal medical care.

Please give what you can to this family. You are their only hope to save their beloved father’s mobility!

Major update on Yahya’s little brother Omar

As discussed previously, Omar remains hospitalized with severe burns. You all raised €700 EUR to attain burn ointment for the immediate treatment of his wounds. Thank you.

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of Omar’s treatment journey.

At just 7 years old, little Omar has third-degree burns over much of his small body due to the IOF attack. The burns are severe in that they burned through his skin, through his ligaments and muscles, and down to his very bones. To say this little boy is in constant, excruciating pain would be a gross understatement.

The pain is not his only problem. The damage to his skin is so severe that his body is unable to heal itself. He requires a skin graft in order to transplant new skin that will be able to regrow.

Without this, Omar’s extensive wounds will remain exposed for a very, very long time. This makes him extremely vulnerable to a catastrophic infection, and his body will be unable to fight it off. Infections are widespread in Gaza right now due to the IOF’s destruction of sanitation infrastructure and the scarcity of antibiotics and other medicines.

This means that at virtually any time, Omar could contract an infection and die. He URGENTLY needs this skin graft so he can finally start to heal!

Please share the campaign widely, donate if you can, and share Omar’s story with your friends and loved ones in real life!! A little boy’s life is at stake!!

Current: €3,134 EUR

New temporary goal: €6,134 EUR

🚨🚨UPDATE!!!🚨🚨

You all raised the preliminary $1,500 for Omar’s skin graft! Thank you so much❤️

As described here, there is is still about $1,500 USD to pay on the bill, and it must be paid in the next 2 months

Current: €4,871 out of €6,134 EUR

yahya has informed me that despite all of the money that we raised, omar was only able to have a partial operation. he was able to have skin grafts on 60% of the burns he had, but they weren't able to afford the last 40%

due to all the high living costs of basic food and water, they were not able to pay for the rest

the rest of the operation costs €800 - after the 30% fees, this means they will need about €1,150

i have set the temporary goal accordingly, and hopefully we will be able to raise enough for the rest of omar's operation. i will keep updating if we need more once we hit this goal

€6,188 / €7,333

€6,458 / €7,633

yahya's family has now been told they need to move their camp in the midst of these bombings. that would cost €150 - i have heard from other families that the current people exchanging digital money for physical cash now ask for 50% fees.

if yahya's family also needs to pay in physical currency, they likely need €300.

i have added this amount to the temporary goal - of that €300, currently €65 has been raised

Campaign Match for Ola

Ola (@olaa123) is still raising money to support her family in Gaza. Ola was a match teacher and a top student, and she still dreams of one day completing her PhD. She's fundraising now to not only support her family, but to support her sisters' education as well.

Ola is currently at $73.6k/85k, which is almost 87% of her goal! It is so close within reach, so I'm doing a match for her. I've donated $25 to Ola's campaign (proof below the cut). Here's the link to her GFM:

If you have anything to give, even just $5, please do so and let me know in the reblogs! Any amount helps. And please, reblog and share so that others can support Ola and her family as well. Let's get them to their goal (which is so so close within reach) as quickly as possible!

the fact that the switch 2 tech demo tutorial 'game' costs money and is digital only is insane. remember when every wii came with wii sports for free? do you remember that? i am going to hunt down the nintendo execs for sport

we need to start killing people

hate how they forced bugs bunny into anti-weed propaganda in the 90s, as if bugs bunny wouldn’t love smoking weed 

To be perfectly fair, bugs bunny would also love taking money for starring in anti-weed propaganda and then using said money to buy weed

bugs bunny is not real
