hey reminder that connecting humanity is extremely low on esims rn and desperately needs esim donations and also that there are a lot of cool things you can get in exchange for a donation

This is your reminder that without eSims, many people in Gaza cannot reach the rest of the world. To their loved ones overseas to the people who have donated to their fundraisers hoping to keep them alive. The Israeli government has issued repeated communications blackouts, trying to cut us off from Gaza. Even when there are not "official" blackouts, telecommunications are dangerous; Palestinians like Medo have died in makeshift tent cafes trying to access the internet and reach us. In Gaza, infrastructure has been severely damaged, despite the brave and hard work of people in Paltel on the ground. Do not think that because you read a headline about a communications blackout ending, eSims are not needed; Israel has already laid groundwork to cut Gazans off from the world - eSims work independent from the Israeli government and can provide data and phone service, an essential lifeline.

If the process of donating an eSim yourself seems daunting, you can contribute to the Crips for eSims fund directly here:

SQUIZARD

It drives me fucking insane how even when people say “hey don’t be fatphobic and don’t hide behind ‘health concerns’ to do so. Fat isn’t inherently unhealthy” people line up out the goddamn door to go “yeah!! There’s a difference between being fat and being obese!” Fuck off !!!! First of all I’ve been considered “morbidly obese” (god what a dehumanizing term) for nearly my whole life despite living a healthy lifestyle, but even if I hadn’t, even if I were completely immobilized and disabled due to my fatness, even if it were “my fault” according to those arguments — I’d still be deserving of respect

They killed my uncle and my cousin now please help me save the rest of my family please donate even a small amount please save me I am crying now Please for those who see Share and write two words to help please any words to help me contribute even one euro

the blog @wolf-aid is ran by Ibrahim, the fifteen year old boy from this fundraiser. When I spoke to him yesterday he had just received news of two of his relatives being martyred by an israeli attack. Most of us will never understand the level of fear and pain he is experiencing right now, having to grieve while fearing for your own life too every day. He is only fifteen years old and has so much life left to live, please give him a chance at safety. Ibrahim is not asking for much, he just wants to live. Any donation will help.

Again, Ibrahim, I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️

If you have any kind words for Ibrahim, please comment them

DONATION LINK + VETTING (#25)

ibrahim, you are so young! your life is bursting with promise and purpose even if it doesn't feel that way right now. one day you will sleep free from explosions, your family safe from this harm and loss, and those of us in the west who have had the pleasure of knowing you will hold you in our hearts.

please please help him if you can!

Sami and his family's last dream: escaping the hell of war on Gaza in search of safety

Sami's story begins in Gaza, where he was born and raised in a humble home. He lived a quiet life with his wife and their three children: Jud, Lin, and Misk,🍉 along with his ailing mother,and father who suffers from chronic thyroid🙏 and parathyroid disease, and his four siblings: Hamza, Bilal, Muhammad, and Layan. Sami worked hard in his modest shop, selling car spare parts to provide his family with a decent, stable life.😔

But everything changed with the war. In a dark, heartbreaking moment, their home was completely destroyed. With no shelter to protect them from bombings and displacement, Sami and his family were forced to move repeatedly, traveling from north Gaza to the south 🏠.The constant displacement took a heavy toll, exhausting them physically and mentally, leaving them in a relentless cycle of fear and uncertainty.

Things worsened when Sami’s only source of income vanished, as his shop was destroyed in the bombings 💔💼. Life became even harder; they now live in a worn-out tent that fails to protect them from the searing heat of summer or the biting cold of winter ⛺🌞🥶, sharing in both hardship and sorrow.

Since their displacement, Sami’s mother’s health has deteriorated due to the lack of essential medicines. She urgently needs surgery, but the shortage of medical resources has made things critical, and her condition is worsening every day 💊

Despite these overwhelming challenges, Sami clings to his dream of taking his family away from this nightmare, searching for a place where they can find safety, education, and healthcare, free from the horrors of war 🌍🕊️. Sami fights daily for a better future for his family, holding onto fragments of hope in every moment, determined to provide them with a life of dignity, far from destruction and fear.

We humbly ask for your donations to support Sami and his family. Even a small contribution can make a huge difference in helping them rebuild a safe and dignified life away from continuous suffering 💙🙏.

On the anniversary of Leslie Feinberg’s death today (15th of Nov.), here are hir own words. (Source)

save a life, donate to a Gazan person on this list. if you can’t decide, i talk fairly regularly with a member of this family and their goal is almost complete.

Harris now begins her defeat speech. Most expect it to lose in some states due to the Biden administration's support for Israel and its promise to stand by Gaza. Unfortunately, Trump will also not stand with Gaza, and since his term, he has declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.Please support Gaza because in reality there is no administration or president who stands by the oppressed people of Gaza. Only free peoples stand by them. In this difficult time, I call on you to support my oppressed family in Gaza.

Please stand by my family from famine and devastating war

To support my family from here 👈👈

Palestine is free

Thank you all for helping us reach our initial goal! When I first set up the fundraiser I randomly picked $50,000 hoping the war would end before we even raised half of it...Unfortunately the war is still ongoing and the funds are still desperately needed as less and less aid enters Gaza, increasing the prices of the little that is available. Another consideration is when I transfer the money to Mahmoud's brother in law's bank account, the bank takes a 30% cut of the money. Below is a receipt of my most recent transfer into Gaza. So please, continue to donate, you are quite literally the reason why the Balousha family hasn't starved to death yet.

VETTED

Marah still needs our help! the transfer fees are taking a lot from donations and Mahmoud needs to secure the basics for his family. please keep sharing and donating

Believe it or not..

These cost $80!

Since my family has no income in Gaza, it is terrible. They do not receive a daily or even monthly salary

Please help me save my family from real starvation.

the only thing in our new apartment so far

What else do u need

‏Today's vetted fundraisers

My name is Ahmed Khader, a 29-year-old from Gaza, now living in Belgium. I left in 2019 to build a better life and support my family, but they remain trapped in Gaza, facing constant bombings and danger. On October 7th, the war forced them to flee to a refugee camp, but safety is still out of reach.

I desperately want to help them escape but lack the funds. I’m asking for your support—any donation can make a difference. Please also share this campaign to reach more people who may be able to help.

@el-shab-hussein @nabulsi @irhabiya @wellwaterhysteria

Ahmed's campaign is promoted and vetted by @/gaza-evacuation-funds, promoted by Bilal-Salah0, and also vetted by association!

€11,242 raised of €55,000 goal! Last donation was 10 hours ago!

Ahmed has 12 family members trapped in Gaza right now, including 6 children!!! Ahmed's little brother Aboodi is only 4 years old!

I'm also hosting a freshwater pearl phone strap raffle to raise funds for this campaign (UK only)! Click here to enter after you donated!

My campaign has stagnated💔

I am like you, exactly like you.

I was a successful person in my life; I have always been proud of myself, and my family was proud of me too. I had a life, dreams, and ambitions that I was striving for. My life was full of lectures, volunteering, teaching students, and adventures, but for more than 389 days, all of this stopped completely! Can you feel my broken heart? Can you imagine how I feel at this moment? Tell me what I can write for you to feel me and offer help to me and my family by donating and sharing?!

Hello, I'm Ola, a graduate student from the faculty of science - Al-Azhar University in G@za P@lestine. I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my story. As you reading my message, myself and my family, “my mother, father, three sisters, and my little brother,” are trying to survive under all kinds of suffering including but not limited to fear, instability, and starvation, thirst, and poverty in northern G@za.

After the prices went up so crazy, I created this campaign to help my family provide food, drink and essential needs. I know for sure that you can't help all families that want your help but at least you can help those who come across your life.

I sincerely hope you can empathize with our dire situation and consider supporting us.

And yes, even the smallest amount can help because it's all about a collection of these small amounts until we reach our final goal and be able to rebuild our lives.

Thank you for standing by me. ❤️

Please donate and/or reblog 🥺🙏🇵🇸

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

Who’s ready to be scolded and scapegoated for the Democrats running a terrible campaign for the next 4+ years

refraining from a lot of election joke posting and instead I just donated $55 USD to gaza soup kitchen and i encourage anyone else to consider donating even a couple of dollars to the people who will be affected the most from whatever outcome happens

you can also donate to care for gaza here
