FORSAKEN CHILD OF THE SHAPE

he’s 21, the same age as me. before the war he was studying to be a translator and he dreamt of voice acting, just like so many of you reading this. (he’s pretty good too actually.) he would probably not call himself a poet but every few days he posts something so beautifully worded that he might as well be a poet laureate. he recently wrote: “gaza is sick of being praised by anyone. gaza is tired that its image is on satellite tv. gaza is sick of its name in the sad poems. gaza is tired of the repeated endings.” the message is clear — sentiments are not enough, his people need HELP.

We are dying every day, losing our loved ones, and hunger and pain surround us. We need help for food, medical care, and our safety. Life has become unbearable, and we don't know where to go. We are in desperate need of your help, please don’t leave us in this darkness. Save us for the sake of hope, for the sake of life.

Share and share thank you all

@samah-2

No decorations, NO SAFETY, no children’s laughter…

Because EID UNDER BOMBING is NOT a celebration.

BUT YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

With a SHARE, a PRAYER, or even a SMALL DONATION

You can help turn someone’s WAR DAY into a RAY OF HOPE.

BE THE MERCY in a time of pain.

There’s a strange thing about memories—sometimes, they feel like the only thing we have left. I close my eyes, and I can still see my family sitting around the dinner table, laughing at a joke my uncle made. I can still hear my mother calling me to come inside before it gets too late. I can still feel the warm sun on my face as I walked home from school, thinking about my next big dream.

Now, those moments feel like they belong to another life. The streets aren’t the same. The people aren’t the same. And I—I don’t know if I’m the same either. But I hold onto those memories so tightly because they remind me of who I am, of the love I’ve known, of the warmth that still exists somewhere in this world.

If you’re reading this, take a moment to appreciate the little things. Hug your family. Send a message to an old friend. Step outside and take a deep breath of fresh air. 🌿 These are the moments that matter. These are the things that make life beautiful.

No matter where life takes me, I’ll never stop cherishing the love that shaped me. And I hope, wherever you are, you never stop appreciating the love around you too. 💙

"I swear to God, my brother, I just lived the worst days of my life. It feels like last night was a night of Hell.

They bombed for nearly a half hour without stopping, and the bombing became close and the sound of the missiles were so loud that it sounded strange. It seems these are new types [of rockets] sent in from America.

I don't know what to do. The screams of women and the people around us who were hit by the rockets, but you can't do anything. It was around 2AM, and there was no light it was completely dark.

And I don't have anyone in my tent except my mother and my sister who are terrified, so I can't leave them and get out of the tent [to help others].

There was literally a rocket or 2 that whistled by right above us, and we all laid down and went to sleep in the tent 💔.

I had thought that I had seen everything in the war, but last night literally my blood [froze]. But thank God we woke up alive and our Lord will make it easier on us, my love."

Please help my friend Mohammed El-Shaer.

They had to leave their tent and most of their possessions, which are now under IOF control and are irrecoverable.

They are currently on the street, with no tent, no blankets, no food, and no clothes other than what they were wearing when they had to flee for their lives. They are literally just sitting in the dirt under the night sky.

Ayla’s mother Bashaer @bshaeromars-blog is trying to get Ayla to sleep, but Ayla is too cold and uncomfortable. The low temperature in Gaza tonight is just 47 F or 8 C. They are starving, freezing, and totally without resources. They DESPERATELY need funds for a tent, food, and other basic necessities!! The tent alone is $3000

Currently: $40,469

New temporary goal: $43,469 USD

Please send anything you can so baby Ayla and her family can survive the night!!

Bashaer and Ayla returned to their home in north Gaza, but as you can see, it was rendered uninhabitable by the IOF:

They are still living on the street, still without shelter, and still in desperate need of your support for food, medical care, and repairing their home to the point where it is livable again.

We are setting a low temporary goal to try to restart donations. Please help a young widow and her baby rebuild their lives❤️‍🩹

Current: $45,755 USD

New temporary goal: $46,000 USD

Sadly, Bashaer and Ayla’s situation has not improved. They remain living on the street, vulnerable to weather, disease, starvation, and ongoing IOF attacks which continue despite truce agreements. We need to get them off the street and under a functional roof ASAP!

Current: $46,313 usd

New temporary goal: $47,000 usd

This February, Help Keep This Palestinian Family’s GoFundMe From Disappearing

From a friend of Marah's:

Marah is a teenage girl trying to raise funds for the continued survival of herself and her family in Gaza. The resources available to them to take care of each other when they are sick, injured, and malnourished are all expensive in a war zone and Marah, her siblings, and her mother all rely on the funds that come from this campaign to take care of each other.

Unfortunately, Marah’s campaign has frequently fallen stagnant for long lengths of time. Even as she tirelessly reaches out to people on Twitter to share her story and what she and her family are going through, there are weeks where not a single donation comes in and with so much on the line and so much lost this is often incredibly discouraging. To document what she’s going through while it increasingly feels like it might be reaching no one is often incredibly discouraging.

I know right now there are a lot of people who need help, and as more people have turned to crowdfunding over the past year resources have become spread thin. I know choosing between who to support when you have finite resources to offer can feel paralyzing. But I also know that the seemingly small efforts add up to make a difference. they make a difference from everyone, and they can make a difference for everyone. And they can make a difference for Marah and her family, if we promise not to look away.

So this month what I am asking is for you to help me keep this campaign from falling back into days/weeks/months long stagnation. My goal is for every day to be a day with a donation. Even if you can’t donate, please share, please watch out for Marah’s campaign and follow whether she’s received support. On the days that go by where she receives none, please notice this. Please help other people notice this. The most important thing is that when people ask for help, we can hear them.

The last donation to Marah's campaign was 19 hours ago, completing our objective for day 1. Onto day 2!

***This campaign is vetted by association. Marah is a friend of another Palestinian teenager, Deyaa, whose story traveling to the US for medical treatment is well-documented. I personally put the owner of Marah's campaign in contact with Marah when it was being set up, who herself documents she and her family's life in Gaza on her Twitter account @/MarahContact.***

Tagging for reach under the cut.

Unfortunately we did NOT achieve our goal of one donation per day for day 2. PLEASE give what you can, anyone who sees this who is able -- we're only aiming for ONE DONATION PER DAY of any amount!

We are falling behind on donations for both day 2 and day 3! REMEMBER -- ALL WE'RE AIMING FOR IS ONE DONATION PER DAY, EVEN IF IT IS $5!!!

Can we get 3 to make up for it?

NO DONATIONS FOR 4 DAYS.

@prisonhannibal ❤️❤️

I thank you, my sister, for your support for Iman by creating this beautiful drawing for her. Iman suffers from severe malnutrition and needs care. Any donation, no matter how small, can help her and us Please donate to Iman.

Earlier this month, we made a post asking for your support in attaining 15 year-old Nour’s monthly treatment for her congenital heart condition. Unfortunately, the funds raised came too late. Nour’s health took a dramatic downturn yesterday, and the doctor said that because she had gone so long between monthly treatments, several of Nour’s heart valves have closed up. She now requires an urgent operation to save her heart.

NOUR WILL DIE WITHOUT THIS SURGERY!! She is dying right now because her heart is struggling to function! She needs this surgery IMMEDIATELY to save her young life!!

The doctor said the surgery will cost $8000 USD. Nour’s family’s GFM is in Canadian dollars, or CAD, of which the conversion rate to USD is $1 USD=$1.41 CAD. This means we need $11,300 CAD in donations in order to pay the equivalent of $8000 USD for her surgery.

We NEED to raise the funds ASAP so Nour has a chance at survival!! We are breaking this sum up into 2 smaller goals to be more attainable. Our first goal to save Nour’s life is to raise $4000 USD/$5656 CAD.

**Progress: $43,187 CAD out of $49,000 CAD**

(or $30,554 USD out of $34,670 USD)

PLEASE HELP SAVE NOUR’S LIFE!!!

Today we were able to make passports for my children.

Help us complete the remaining expensive travel costs and create a suitable environment for my children. Every contribution, even if it is small, saves our lives from death

Help a Family from Gaza Rebuild After Losing Everything

My name is Mohammed, a 22-year-old from Gaza. Before the war, my father worked in the West Bank to support our family. However, since the war began, we lost all contact with him. Now, the responsibility of taking care of my family fell on me and my twin brother hosam. Tragically, my brother was killed by a sniper while simply trying to bring food for our family.

Today, I am left alone, trying to care for my mother, Jamila, my five siblings—Yasmin, Asma, Nermin, Jameel, and Ahmed—and my grandmother, who suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure.

Our lives were already challenging, but the war shattered everything. I used to work to support us with my car, but it was destroyed in a bombing, leaving me unemployed.

Another sister, Asma, graduated with an outstanding GPA of 91.8% and was working as a lecturer at Al-Aqsa University before the war. She dreams of continuing her education and pursuing a master’s degree.

The airstrikes destroyed our only safe haven—our home. We were forced to flee to southern Gaza, seeking refuge in Rafah. But even there, we had to evacuate and move to Khan Younis, though we had to stay on the move, never finding lasting safety.

Now, we are left homeless, without an income, and with very limited access to basic necessities. We live in constant fear, unsure of what tomorrow holds. Our situation is dire, and we are in desperate need of help to cover Yasmin's medical expenses, continue my siblings' education, and care for my grandmother and the rest of my family.

Any support you can offer will help us rebuild our lives and endure this unimaginable hardship. Your generosity can give my family a chance to heal, pursue their education, and live without the constant threat of losing everything.
