From @naeemaemad:

"Among everything I have lost, I still hold on to one dream: completing my education. For me, education is not just about earning a degree—it is my only hope for building a better future despite the difficult circumstances I am living through. Today, however, that dream is at risk because I cannot afford to pay my tuition fees. My current phone is also no longer working properly, making it extremely difficult to continue my studies, communicate with my university, and access the educational resources I need. That is why I am reaching out for your support. Your generosity will help me pay my tuition fees and purchase a new phone so I can continue my education without interruption. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to staying in university and keeping my dream alive. If you are unable to donate, sharing my story would mean just as much. It may help my campaign reach someone who is able to make a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every donation, every share, and every prayer. Your kindness gives me hope, strength, and a real chance to continue my education and build a brighter future."

Note: tuition fees cost $1000‼️and buying a new phone is also very expensive – every bit of support is precious❤️

Yesterday, Gaza was rocked by a massive explosion after yet another attack, and the night was no different. Every bombing brings back fear to our hearts and makes survival even harder.

We are a family trying to survive amidst this harsh reality, and we are still waiting for a kind hand to help us secure the most basic necessities of life.

If you are unable to donate, sharing our campaign link might reach someone who can. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference. 🤍🙏

We are struggling in every way. Everything is incredibly expensive, and we can't afford basic necessities like food and drink.

We are constantly in need of assistance. Imagine, the cost per person exceeds $15 per day, and there are eight of us.

I am very ill, and I am also trying to care for my mother and provide her with medication.

Imagine that I am the sole provider for my family. Perhaps $100 isn't a large sum to you, but it's what I need to save my family. I need $50 daily to cover at least my family's most basic needs, in addition to my mother's medication. If I ever lose my voice, I will still be able to care for my family.

I will never forgive anyone who could have helped and let us down. Please, all I need to raise right now is $300. If six people each contribute $50, I will have it by evening.

@el-shab-hussein

I am currently hospitalized for treatment, as shown in the photo. My family is facing financial hardship that prevents us from covering the costs of medication and medical supplies. We appeal to kind-hearted people to extend a helping hand and assist us with treatment expenses so we can overcome this ordeal.

Between the glass of the incubator and our prayers, we place great hope in God to protect our strong little girl and heal her.

I love to play like taking my mom's lipstick, getting stuck in my milk carton or annoying my sister by taking whatever she has, I'm only small 🙃

I live with my mom, dad and big sister who is 2.5 but life is very hard for us here. We are living in a tent which gets so cold at night-time, wet in the rain and full of insects.

Because we have no proper hygiene, Me and sham keep getting sick with bacterial infections in our stomachs, lungs and skin. Every time we get sick our mom builds up debt trying to get the right medicine for us and it us very stressful.

I hope you can help us with whatever you can, just to try and keep us healthy and safe. Our mom worries about keeping food in our bellies and clothes to keep us warm and your help would make such a difference to our lives.

Art and other rewards being offered for those who have proof of donation (such as a screenshot of receipt, probably with personal information blacked out) to the well-known vetting lists and a few other. I have collected an up-to-date list here. There is also links to other lists: for such as flowerpawarts's spreadsheet, you should make sure they accept the vetting list or are not just funding for a specific family

As a brother, there is no pain greater than watching someone you love suffer every single day, knowing you cannot take their pain away.

My brother has already been through surgery, endless hospital visits, and unimaginable hardship. We hoped the worst was behind us, but his journey is far from over. He still needs $993 to continue his treatment, receive the medications he depends on, and complete the medical care that gives him a real chance to recover.

Deadline: 20 Aug

Current Progress: $26,212 / $ 27,000

Every day we delay his treatment is another day of pain, fear, and uncertainty. Seeing him struggle while worrying about how we will afford his care is heartbreaking. We have done everything we can, but we have reached a point where we simply cannot do this alone.

Your support will help cover:

• Ongoing medical treatment

• Essential medications

• Medical supplies

• Follow-up care and rehabilitation

Every donation, no matter how small, brings my brother one step closer to recovery. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing our fundraiser. One share could reach the person who changes everything for my brother.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with my family during one of the hardest times of our lives. Your kindness gives us hope. ❤️

It is painful to know that the care he needs is within reach, yet we cannot provide it without help. As his sibling, I wish I could take this burden away from him. Instead, I have to watch him suffer while worrying about what will happen if we cannot raise the remaining amount in time.

We are asking for help because we have reached a point where we cannot do this alone. Any donation, no matter how small, brings my brother closer to receiving the care he needs.

If donating is not possible, please share our fundraiser. Sometimes one share is enough for our story to reach someone who can help.

My mother is fighting for her life in the ICU, and we are still $509 short of the care that can save her. Time is completely up just 10 people donating $50 or 20 people donating $25 will hit our goal and save her.

If you see this, act now. Reblogging is free, and every dollar keeps her alive. Don't scroll past don't let her become another forgotten story.

I write to you with a heavy heart 💔 My children and I are going through very difficult times, and no one is asking about us. My son needs treatment and medication, and he needs milk, diapers, and urgent care. Please don't leave us alone in these difficult circumstances. 😔

We need your help. The situation is extremely difficult. You are our last hope. Food, clothes, milk, rent—everything has become incredibly expensive. My son, Ahmed, needs heart surgery and eye surgery. Please help my son so he can complete his treatment and undergo the operations. In addition to my family in Gaza, my parents, brothers, and sisters are also living in dire circumstances. Please help me for the sake of my family.

My name is Sharif, and I suffer from a back injury. I need intensive treatment and physical therapy to recover. Unfortunately, we lost everything in Gaza; we have no income and cannot work. The situation is extremely difficult.

PLEASE HELP 🙏🏽 EVEN A SIMPLE REPOST AND COMMENTING CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Ahmed is suffering greatly. His condition is worsening because I can't afford his surgery; I keep postponing it. Every post I ignore means an extra hour of pain. Please donate; your help could save his life.

My mother was injured in Gaza and needs a metal plate in her leg. Please help me get her treatment. My mother desperately needs your donations and assistance.

Please, my mother is in the hospital and urgently needs medical treatment and healthy food for her recovery. Please, I don't want to lose her. Even a small donation would help—and please share this post. 🥲

He, his mother, and Ahmed are suffering greatly from their injuries and conditions, they all need URGENT TREATMENT so they can recover and heal

Ahmed is especially vulnerable because he is very young. His condition is deteriorating rapidly with the lack of medical treatment, so he needs help IMMEDIATELY.

Please ACT QUICKLY

DONATE as much as you can, SHARE their story as widely as possible, and REBLOG with tags to keep Sharif's posts in circulation!!

Yousef shared to me some terrible news. His sister and her husband were martyred, leaving behind 5 children that he now has to provide food, shelter, and care for. A video of their children can be seen here.

He needs to provide them with shelter, while also caring for his own family including his little son, Majd, who has a respiratory condition.

Please do whatever you can to support this family.

Please Don't Let Me Lose My Family. August Is Our Last Chance

Thank you from the bottom of our broken hearts. For nearly three years, you have stood beside my family through this devastating war. Your kindness has helped me support them as they have endured life in tents, unimaginable hardship, and the constant fear of bombardment and death.

We will never forget your compassion or the hope you have given us.

Now, FINALLY!!!, There is HOPE ...

I have been informed that my family’s evacuation is expected to take place in August. However, the Irish Embassy and the Department of Justice require us to show sufficient funds in our bank account before family reunification visas can be issued for my wife and our four children.

Without these funds, we cannot complete the visa process, and my wife and children will remain in Gaza, where their lives are in constant danger from bombing, starvation, and the devastating conditions they face every day. Even worse, my elderly parents, siblings and their children entirely depend on funds I send them in the incredibly harsh conditions they live!

We lost our home and everything we had in this hellish war and all my wife and children have right now is a tent in the living hell of Gaza.

My Irish college is providing the necessary supporting documents, but we urgently need your help to meet the financial requirement for them to be able to start a new life in Ireland.

If you are able, please donate and share my GoFundMe with friends and others who may have compassionate hearts.

Your support could help save the lives of my wife and four children.

Please Donate if you can, reblog our life saving blog and share with your friends.

Your kindness and support is the only hope I have to save my family!

My family is being torn apart, piece by piece. While my wife and children have finally been granted family reunification visas, my elderly and sick parents, my three brothers, and my five sisters are still trapped in Gaza, waiting and hoping for their chance to escape.

The applications of my parents, brothers, and sisters have been put on hold by the Irish authorities, who have asked me to provide evidence that I can financially support them when they are evacuated to Ireland.

This is why reaching our fundraising goal is SO URGENT. I need to be able to show that I can support my family and help them through the evacuation and the difficult process of rebuilding their lives in safety.

I cannot stop fighting while the people I love most are still trapped behind in the vicious cycle of death, displacement and suffering.

If you can donate, please help us. If you cannot, sharing our campaign could mean everything.

Thank you for standing with my family
