We are still short 500 euros to cover the cost of the surgery. The procedure involves a very sensitive area of ​​his body, and the doctors have confirmed that it cannot be delayed. If the surgery isn't performed while he is still this young, he could grow up suffering for the rest of his life, and he might even lose his future prospects and the chance to ever become a father

This little girl has developed a painful skin disease after months of living in a tent under extremely harsh conditions. The intense heat, dust, humidity, and lack of proper hygiene and medical care have caused her condition to worsen. Her small body is now covered with painful rashes, and she suffers from constant itching and discomfort, day and night.

Doctors have warned that she needs urgent medical treatment before the infection becomes more severe. Sadly, her family cannot afford the cost of the medication or the care she desperately needs while struggling to survive.

We still have a chance to help—but time is running out.

⏳ Deadline: August 10

Your kindness can change her life. Every donation, no matter the amount, brings her one step closer to the treatment she urgently needs and gives her hope for a future free from pain.

Please don't wait. Help us give this little girl the chance to heal and smile again before it's too late

My friends, my grandmother wants to live. Please, your support can save her. Every donation or share can make a real difference in her life.💔🆘-

For the past 3 days, support has been almost nonexistent and very slow💔. We urgently need $180 to cover 3 days of IV treatment. Otherwise, her condition could become critical.She has been in the hospital for the past two weeks due to her deteriorating condition.💔😭

Please... I love my grandmother, and I don't want to lose her. 💔🙏

I don't know what else to write to make you help me save my grandmother🙏💔 🔴Please tell me—what can I do? I have been pleading for weeks because my grandmother's life is in danger.🙏💔💔💔💔

We have reduced our meals to just one meal a day so my grandmother can stay alive, but even that is still not enough to cover the cost of her treatment.

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: 6 Aug

Current Progress: $26,087 / $ 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. ❤️

we are still $913 short of the amount needed for him to continue his treatment.

As his sibling, it breaks my heart to watch him suffer while feeling powerless to help. We are running out of time, and every hour matters.

If you are able, please consider donating. Even $5 or $10 can bring us one step closer to giving him the care he desperately needs.

The doctors have told me that she is unstable and urgently needs surgery, This is a medical emergency that cannot be postponed.

I am pleading with every compassionate heart and everyone who believes in humanity to help me save my sister.

Please don't let Lama face this alone. If you are able, donate whatever you can. Even the smallest gift could help save her life and give her a chance to recover.

We urgently need $500 to cover the cost of her treatment.

Please help save Lama, Your kindness today could be the reason she gets another chance at life.

My mother urgently needs treatment that cannot wait. We need $400 today so she can receive the care she desperately needs.

If just 16 people donate $25 each, we can reach the amount and give her a chance to be treated.

Please, if you can help, don't wait. Even the smallest donation could be the reason my mother survives.

What we need is not impossible, but it is more than we can manage alone. If you're able to donate, please don't wait. If you can't, please share this appeal. It may reach someone who can give my mother the chance to receive the treatment she urgently needs.

Sometimes, a single act of kindness can change a person's future. We hope today is one of those moments.

After surviving a coma and struggling to care for his elderly parents in a flooded, storm-ravaged tent, they still face the most immediate threat: he's had persistent hardships trying to afford very critical medication for his condition. As of now, he's been able to procure only 5 days-worth of meds, whilst still needing to afford basic groceries as well.

Due to the zionist siege and ensuing artificial scarcity, the price of his pills has skyrocketed beyond reach. Without them and proper medical care the occupation won't let him get in Gaza, doctors have warned his condition might further deteriorate. Every missed dose brings him closer to irreversible collapse.

His only path to survival is join his sister in Canada along with his parents, where they can finally access consistent healthcare, shelter, and safety. But right now, he cannot even afford the medicine that would keep him alive long enough to evacuate.

We helped him survive the coma and the storms. We cannot let him die waiting for pills. Please, help them get nurturing along with his meds.

Their GoFundMe campaign is now at just a wee over half their travel expenses:

And you can donate to them here:

PayPal, for daily and medical expenses

GoFundMe, to contribute to their travel expenses

Remember their campaign has been verified as #336 by @gaza-evacuation-funds

Please, donate what you can. Even small amounts add up to a dose. If you can't, please reblog this post, as exposure is their only supply line until Allāh ﷻ knows when.

Don't let a vulnerable person die from a treatable condition in plain sight. This is not just aid, it's a race against a blockade that prices people out of their own survival.

PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO HELP. THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY URGENT, IBRAHIM AND HIS FAMILY NEED HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Ibrahim and his family truly need help URGENTLY; please, please help if you can! Tagging below:

Hello, I'm Sharif Al-Amoudi from Gaza. I'm married and have twins, Hussam and Ahmed, who are five months old. They were born after four attempts at artificial insemination. My wife and I came to Egypt in June for the IVF procedure, and she became pregnant, but we were stranded in Egypt after the war. I was employed in Gaza, and my wife was a mathematics teacher. Now we have no income after everything was destroyed. My twins were born in April, and one of them (Ahmed) has two holes in his heart and also suffers from optic nerve damage as a result of being in the neonatal intensive care unit.

He was given artificial oxygen and needs special care, surgery, and numerous treatments at great expense. He now needs special milk and medication. I also suffer from a slipped disc and cannot work hard in Egypt. I need surgery that costs 2000 euros. I live in a rented apartment that costs me 200 euros a month. You are our only hope. Please help me for the sake of my children. 💔🙏🍉

My mom has heart disease and high blood pressure, and relies on a heart implant. She urgently needs a second device, but it’s unaffordable and unavailable, which is why she is currently in the ICU needing continuous, uninterrupted medication just to stay alive!

Healthcare in Gaza is devastating, and every breath comes at a price... ICU care and her essential meds cost $600 weekly =($2,400 monthly).

My mom is clinging to life, and your ongoing donations are her only chance to survive. Please don't hold back donate or share right now! 🙏

My children’s suffering worsens day by day; they lack the most basic necessities of life, foremost among them a safe environment. The conditions inside the tent are deteriorating. It is damaged and unsafe, while insects, rodents, and snakes pose a serious threat to my children and their health. We need to build a safe life for them and provide the essential supplies they need to survive.

Please help us reach our goal. I swear to God, we face unbelievable things every day—whether it’s snakes, scorpions, or rodents.😭💔💔💔

I write these words to you with a heart full of pain because Israel killed my mother and older brother, and we live here as if we could die at any moment. I don't know if my wife, child, and I will survive; perhaps we will die because of the Israeli bombing.

I am appealing to you with a heart filled with pain, loss, and fear for my family's lives. My wife lacks the necessary treatment, my child under two years old lacks food, and my wife, who is five months pregnant, desperately needs the necessary treatment and healthcare for her unborn child.

I am asking for your mercy and assistance for a grieving family who own nothing. We lost our home due to Israeli bombing and are now living in tents in a tragic situation. We need your help and support. We simply want to secure the basic needs of my wife and child.

Bloodthirsty Israel makes no distinction between young and old, woman and man, killing indiscriminately and respecting neither international laws nor human rights. The entire Gaza Strip lives in a state of perpetual death.

These might be my last words, and I and my family might die tomorrow. Therefore, I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and doesn't support me, even with a word, a share, or a small donation. I will not forgive those who ignore me, for my family's life is a trust placed in your hands.

Please, I beg you, don't leave me and my family alone. We will die. Please don't leave us alone. Please help us. Donate Now!!!

Day 1 | The Day I Graduated

This photo marks one of the happiest moments of my life. After years of studying Computer Systems Engineering—and after watching war interrupt so many plans—I finally saw these words: "Officially Bachelor in Computer Systems Engineering." It wasn't just a degree. It was proof that even when everything around me became uncertain, I could still hold on to one thing: Education. That day, I made a promise to myself: I wouldn't stop here. Today, that promise has become a Master's admission. But every journey has another mountain to climb, and mine is finding a way to continue. Over the next few days, I'd like to share my story—not just about the challenges I've faced, but about the hope that keeps me moving forward.

Thank you for being here. ❤️ If you'd like to support my Master's journey, you'll find my fundraiser below.

There were many moments when giving up would have been the easiest choice.

Classes were interrupted.

Electricity was unreliable.

Internet access disappeared for days.

The future felt uncertain more times than I can count.

More than once, I asked myself:

"Is it still worth continuing?"

Each time, my answer was the same.

Yes.

Not because it was easy.

But because I believed education was one of the few things that war could not take away from me.

That belief carried me through my bachelor's degree.

It led me to my Master's admission.

And today, it keeps me fighting to protect that opportunity.

There was a time when I couldn't change the reality around me.

But I believed I could help someone continue learning.

That belief led me to create Isnad, an educational initiative that supports students in Gaza through training, learning opportunities, and a community that encourages them not to give up.

Helping others reminded me why education matters.

And today, that same belief is what keeps me fighting for my own Master's journey.
