its three days past when my rent is due, but i dont fucking have it. my wife and i have been dealing w a serious situation w a neighbor this past weekend and couldn't keep our posts scheduled, and rbs completely fell off. we need $907.22 still to pay our rent, and we have until the 7th before our housing is at risk (we are on a payment plan and taking this long to make a payment could be seen as violating our payment plan, which would put us out w nowhere to go). please send to my wife (leave purple emoji in payment note!!) so we can stay housed. i am covering all of our regular expenses like food, bills, weather appropriate clothes, and (still) trying to replace at least some of what was lost in our move over a year ago. im sorry to be annoying and keep asking, but being this poor is extremely expensive.

Hi!

It has been a month since I started updating Falastin's campaign to get her family out of Gaza. I first contacted her on 25th of August (and here's my first post with this same little olive tree) but she started the fundraiser in late June. Since then we've gathered 4,963$ total (or 50,210 SEK), and we are both thankful for every donation out of 255.

However, after this month her 24 family members are still in Gaza and they still need money - not just for evacuation for when the border opens, but for basically every necessity since the prices for everything are extremely high right now and they have no income. They also suffer from their tent getting flooded, and they need waterproof materials as well as more tents since half of them are still sleeping outside.

I talk to Falastin every day and share my updates with her - we both cheer on large donations and worry when there is no messages from her family. Her heart breaks every day and yet she is still fighting to give her family a chance for life; life without humming of the drones above, without starving every other day, without being displaced every two weeks, without sleeping on the street.

She already has lost a lot of people so please help her to achieve this dream by donating any amount you can and boosting this campaign further. We are very close to our next short-term goal of 5,500$! Keep in mind that the fundraiser is in SEK, and the rates are:

10$ = 101 SEK 25$ = 252 SEK 50$ = 505 SEK 100$ = 1,011 SEK

Additionally I provide commissions for any donation greater than 10$ - just provide proof in dms or ask a question first.

Her fundraiser was vetted by by el-shab-hussein on tumblr and she was swiftly added to the The Vetted Gaza Evacuation List with number 282. Additionally, recently she was assigned number 957 in the Butterfly Project spreadsheet.

I'm still drawing updates as you can see, but I'm going to draw an update every 500$ gathered going forward - it takes a lot of time and I don't have a lot of it. If it's your first time seeing my posts - this was the last one.

Shared with the permission of Falastin herself.

Only 3 donations has been in the past 9 HOURS! Please keep donating and sharing, so we can achieve the short-term goal of 5,500 USD.

$5,112 USD has been raised so there is $388 USD left to go! If we do the math, we need at least 38 people to donate a minimum of $10 USD (kr103 SEK) to succeed!

TENTS FLOODING, SEVERAL CHILDREN LEFT WITHOUT SHELTER

@iyadsobhegaza and @rubashsblog 's families just recently ran completely out of money and now they have to go through this.

From Iyad:

From Ruba:

Iyad and his wife are both elderly. Iyad has diabetes which makes his feet swell and he hasn't been able to get his medicine for it in almost a MONTH. Because of his swelling, Iyad can't move well and now that his tent is flooded, he can't even rest.

Iyad has several small children aged 5, 7, 10, 13, and 14 years old. They are now without shelter where it's cold and wet. And with terrible diseases spreading throughout Gaza, this will only put them more at risk.

Ruba was discharged from the hospital just a few days ago due to a serious injury she got while being displaced. She lost a lot of blood and although she has been discharged, she still needs medicine for it. Now she also needs medicine to treat her and the rest of her family's flu.

VETTED no. 90 and 173 on the Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi. The links to their previous GFMS are no longer working and they are sharing one P*yP*l now which can read about here and here.

Only 6 donations have been made in nearly 24 HOURS. They desperately need to raise 9K IN THE NEXT 3 DAYS to expense all this !! That's $2,195 LEFT TO RAISE. Please donate, any ammount helps.

For your donation you can get art wallpapers, art commissions, and fic commissions. Please check them out !

THEY DIDN'T REACH THE GOAL IN TIME.

They still have to raise $964 to reach the 9k short term goal. We need to help them reach this AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

We need to raise the remaining ammount within the next 2 days and that means we need to raise AT LEAST $300 TODAY !!! Please donate so they can have a roof over their heads. Please.

There is $795 USD left to go, so please help us achieve the short-term goal of 9K! If we do the math, we need at least 159 people to donate a minimum of $5 USD to succeed! So please give what you can and boost! Iyad, Ruba, and their families need all the help they can get!

no more horrifying emotion than reloading the gofundme page for my friend's family and seeing it being at the same amount as hours ago. he is a full time dental student while working multiple jobs to try to reduce the amount of money that needs to be crowdfunded.

his family is literally evading bombings every single day (sometimes multiple times a day) for the past 11.5 months. his youngest sister is so chronically malnourished that she doesn't even have the energy to cry out of fear anymore. the ground literally shakes and splinters, huge craters in the middle of neighborhoods. dozens of people still missing under rubble just this week.

if you have literally ANYTHING at all please help this family. this decision to move out of Jabalia to somewhere safer is the last resort and it's looking like it has to happen soon. iof announced the intent to cut off North Gaza from the rest of the strip two days ago, saying Hamas was hiding there amongst civilians. we've heard this excuse being used to justify mass murder multiple times. please DO SOMETHING. i am deathly afraid for the safety of the younger siblings.

only one donation in the past FOUR HOURS. no donations in the past TWO. €61,639 / €70,000 needed. this is life or death. i literally do not know how else to rephrase this. donations dearly needed.

Only one donation in the past 2 hours!!! Please continue helping Hazem’s family get to €63,250 by the end of day!! That’s just €230 more to raise.

This is officially the eighth day of continuous bombardment of Jabalia camp and surrounding neighborhoods. This morning (local time) two families were targeted, at least two person were martyred and 9 were critically injured. This is the reality Hazem’s parents are trying to protect their 5 kids from. We are getting closer to the final goal of 70k!!! Please continue pushing for this family

Ma is home now but I've been running around going back and forth to court fighting an eviction case, my mom can't get up and down the stairs and her insurance refuses to pay for a stair climber wheelchair but I found one online for a cheap, my cousin is staying with us now, and we're running low on household supplies, dog food, and groceries, and we still have to pay the electric bill, the internet and phone bills to keep in contact with building management and the lawyer. None of us are getting paid anytime soon either and we really need gas money for the rest of the week. Please share this around. Cash venmo kofi ppal:spicysobanoodle@gmail.com

UPDATE 10/814.85

UPDATE 60/814.85

UPDATE 105/814.85

incredibly terrifying that iof defense minister released a statement just a few minutes ago saying that the iof is going to switch strategies and turn their "resources and forces" up north. a second wave of pager explosions happened just a few hours ago, with at least 3 dead.

within Palestine, North Gaza has always been the area affected most by iof's siege that blocked access to food, clean water, and medical supplies (such as fuel, electricity, and operating equipment). there has been an airstrike at least once every 3 days for the past 11 months. iof in recent months have taken to targeting densely populated refugee camps and family homes that are still standing, specifically targeting civilians.

I dread to think what will happen to North Gaza now that iof made clear they will be redirecting most of their forces into the region. The road to relocate to central parts of Gaza or even the southern parts are extremely dangerous and transportation has become extremely expensive.

now more than ever North Gazan families need your support. I ask you all to donate what you can spare for Hazem's family (vetted), who's only received €200 in the past 12 hours. Please help, there are 5 young children in this family who still haven't received the polio vaccine and at high risk of infection.

€58,825 / €59,000

€20 has been raised 2 HOURS AGO.

Hazem's family is in danger as I write this sentence. The IOF has a presence in North Ghazzah and it is getting worse as there are reports stating that more artillery forces and snipers are in the region. Isn't that terrifying? Where are they going to go?

So please donate and share!

Your contribution will help them SURVIVE! ! !

Let me remind you that Hazem's family are in North Ghazzah! The area is known to have high presence of the IOF. In fact, there has been more artillery forces and snipers taking place! This is terrifying! His family is in constant danger! At the same time, 6 bodies have been recovered from a bombing in a family home in Jabalia TODAY. This could be Hazem's family if they do not evacuate in time! So please continue to donate and share! ! !

‼️Stop and Read 🇵🇸🕊️

How much work do you think goes into building a house? Laying the foundations, creating the floorplan, putting in the plumbing and wiring, there are so many considerations. But the hard work is worth it to know that your family will always have a place to call home, and your children will always have a roof over their heads and somewhere to live out happy lives.

Siraj, @siraj2024 , knows this process very well. He spent 10 years investing in and building a house for his family, so that he could provide them with hope for their future, and create a home full of love. Siraj and his family loved their house, but the occupation cannot let Palestinians have any happiness. Siraj’s home was bombed by Israel, and has recently been bombed again while he is trying to organize the effort to rebuild it! Why does Israel need to bomb a house that is already destroyed, if not to shatter the dreams and hopes of the future of the Palestinian people!?

Siraj refuses to let the occupation make him flee. He has decided to firmly plant his feet on the ground and rebuild his house, because it is his right to live in his own homeland. But he cannot accomplish this alone. He put a lot of time and effort into building the house the first time, before Palestine’s infrastructure was destroyed by the occupation.

Now it is difficult for him to prepare to build again while caring for his family of 23 members. He has an incredible weight on his shoulders, and his work and his campaign are the sole hope of his entire family. They live and sleep in a tent with little protection, but they have not given up on their beautiful home, and they need your support to see it restored.

If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, I'm sure you’re already feeling the weather starting to cool down. We all know that as fall begins, winter will not be long behind. But when you live in an exposed tent, where you are already vulnerable to insects and disease, the winter can be very dangerous.

The changing seasons will bring a whole new set of difficulties, and Siraj needs your support to care for his family in these times. Siraj works very hard to promote his campaign, walking several miles each day to access the internet, but he cannot do all the work on his own. He needs your support. Only by helping him spread his message and donate to his campaign will we see their beautiful home restored.

Siraj’s campaign is currently at

$81,108

He has a short term goal of 82k, that he needs to reach by the end of the day. His current overall goal is 150k.

Please donate to Siraj’s campaign, any amount helps a lot. If you have nothing to give, then please put your effort into sharing his campaign and speaking to your friends and others around you about it. You have more influence than you know, and your voice matters. Your donations and your assistance in spreading the campaign can be the difference for Siraj’s family.

Everyone, thank you for getting Siraj to 82k. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your money will continue to help him and his family get to their goal and stay afloat through the harsh winter.

However, we cannot stop supporting Siraj now. Even though he has met his short term goal, his long term goal is still important to ensure his safety.

Changing prices, weather, and conditions all along the Gaza Strip mean that Siraj needs whatever we can give him, and he needs to buy things like waterproof tarps to keep out rain and food and clothes for his family. There are two raffles being run by @sylvianritual and @aristotels. I have linked both of them below. By donating to Siraj, you can enter these raffles.

Please, let's keep this energy for Siraj going. We can help him if we all try our hardest together!

Currently at $82,293 CAD

Only around $700 CAD (515 USD) to reach $83k CAD. Please keep sharing, reminder to please participate in @/aristotels raffle for traditional art commission which ends tomorrow, it only takes $5 CAD ($3 USD) to enter!
