Urgent Appeal for My Father’s Life 💔

I am begging you from the bottom of my heart, please do not scroll past my father’s suffering.

Yesterday, my father was seriously injured in the head after a nearby bombardment. The injury is severe, and his condition is getting worse. Doctors have told us that he urgently needs surgery as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration and potentially save his life.

We are devastated and completely unable to afford the cost of the operation. The surgery costs $1,200, and every moment we wait puts my father at greater risk.

Please, I am pleading with you. If you can donate, no matter how small the amount, you could help save my father’s life. If you cannot donate, please share this appeal with others. Every share may reach someone who can help.

I cannot bear the thought of losing my father because we could not gather the money for his treatment in time. Watching him suffer while feeling helpless is a pain I cannot describe.

Please, help us give him a chance to survive and recover.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

GFM unjustly terminated Fidaa's @fidaa-family2 campaign and she lost all of the funds she'd raised so far to help evacuate her family. She has to start all over with a new campaign.

Fidaa's campaign has been vetted here and here. Please consider donating to her if you have anything at all to give. Small dollar amounts can add up so never think you won't make a difference! If you have enough to buy a cup of coffee, consider skipping it to give to Fidaa instead. Imagine how frustrating it would be after months of fundraising to lose what you've worked hard for. We need to show Fidaa our support now more than ever!

You can also donate through Paypal directly.

I'm here. I've created a new link so you can help me.

After I was scammed in the old campaign, I posted and wrote that I had been robbed and asked you not to donate and to report it.

This is the link to my new campaign in Norwegian Krone, which is a very small currency, so please be mindful when making your donation.

Every 111 kronor = $10

This is our situation in the heavy rain, in tents and displaced persons 😭

noor needs $2000 USD total in order to buy a new tent, as well as supplies to protect from the rain and winter blankets. her current tent was destroyed by the winter storm, and all their supplies were ruined. the equivalent of this price is kr 20,319 NOK - the number makes it seem much bigger than it actually is

for this temporary goal i have placed it at raising just $1k first for noor's tent, and i hope we will be able to reach this quickly

here is one of the videos she requested that i post for her, as her attempts to do so on tumblr failed because of the bad internet

9507 kr to go - this is $995 USD

noor has begged everyone to please treat this as an urgent need

the only reason ammar is still alive right now is because a doctor took pity on him and bought him the injection before we raised enough money. the extended delays made ammar have his first seizure.

israel has also been bombing the hospital again, photos on this post - and their planes + drones are still circling the hospital now, threatening to shoot people. ammar, samah, and mahmoud are all outside in the courtyard and will be immediately wounded if they do so

we need to raise $1471 by tuesday 4 pm at gazan time, which is roughly about 50 hours from now. this is for his food, as well as his injection, and the iv fluids. this is now the bare minimum required to be urgently raised

if he doesn't get this by tuesday, he would need an intensive injection that costs $6k+ total alongside the fact he would need extra medicine and this original injection too

i have nothing else to say. donate as little as $3 or $5 for him, or you'll be letting him die. this is extremely time sensitive.

$0 / $3030

adopts for donating

pwyw commissions for donating

further offers for donating

thank you to the people who generously donated, but we only raised $30 today

though the immune globulin injection is not yet delayed, the most pressing issue is that israel is still bombing the hospital

here is a video that samah provided from the latest news reporters, there continue to be airstrikes and the israeli planes have not stopped flying over the hospital

$1483 is still needed to be raised total, $1107 of which will be for ammar's immune globulin injection (and paying for the remainder of last week's iv fluids)

WE NEED THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THEY CAN EVACUATE

THE LONGER THEY STAY AT THIS HOSPITAL, THE MORE THEY RISK DEATH

THE HOSPITAL HAS ALREADY BEEN BOMBED WHILE THEY WERE HERE. THEY WERE LUCKY TO SURVIVE

please take this seriously and donate as much or as little as you can, but donate and encourage all your friends to donate even a small amount if possible - even $3 or $5 helps, because it will build up, but it requires many people to help

the immune globulin injection needs to be taken before 10 am wednesday gaza time, about 20 hours from now, but i am begging you not to wait until then.

ammar's birthday will also be on thursday, if that can additionally move you. please let him return home to celebrate it, instead of being forced to stay in a hospital courtyard, where he might die before he manages to reach that date.

THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD TO URGENTLY EVACUATE BY THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF THE DANGER.

ISRAEL IS BOMBING AROUND AND AT THE HOSPITAL. SHE SENT ME A VIDEO OF A DESTROYED CAR

THEY NEED DONATIONS NOW

THEY HAVE HAD TO GO INTO HIDING.

WE NEED $1403 MORE TO GET THEM OUT

I AM BEGGING YOU NOT TO LET AMMAR DIE THE DAY BEFORE HIS BIRTHDAY.

[3/6, 5:51 AM] Samah: Brother, please, the situation is dangerous, and they are telling us to leave the hospital. I beg you, have mercy on us.

[3/6, 6:47 AM] Samah: Brother, please reply. Ammar, Mahmoud, and I are hiding near the hospital. Please tell everyone that it's a matter of life or death. I don't want to lose Ammar on his second birthday. Please tell them to have mercy on us. The situation is very scary. 😭😭😭🙏

[3/, 6:47 AM] Samah: Please, brother, reply as soon as possible.

I’m writing this to explain our situation in Gaza as clearly and honestly as possible, without exaggeration.

Right now, daily life is unstable in every aspect. There is no reliable access to electricity. When it is available, it’s only for short and unpredictable periods. Charging phones or using basic devices has become difficult, which also limits communication and access to information.

Water is a constant concern. Clean drinking water is not always available, and when we find it, we have to store and use it very carefully. In many cases, people rely on limited or unsafe sources. This directly affects health, especially for children.

Food is also limited. There is no normal access to markets or regular supplies. Meals are simple and often not enough. People are not choosing what to eat—they are taking whatever is available just to get through the day.

Housing is one of the biggest challenges. Many families, including ours, are no longer living in proper homes. Instead, they stay in temporary shelters or tents. These conditions are difficult: high temperatures during the day, cold at night, no real protection, and no privacy. Sleeping is irregular, and rest is limited.

Healthcare is extremely hard to access. Hospitals are overwhelmed, and basic medical supplies are not always available. Even minor health issues can become serious because treatment is delayed or unavailable.

There is also continuous psychological pressure. The uncertainty is constant. People do not know what will happen next, where they might have to move, or how conditions will change. This affects both adults and children on a daily basis.

This campaign is for Anas’ family. The goal is simple: to secure basic needs like food, water, and safer temporary shelter. There is no unnecessary request here—only essential support to get through this situation.

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference in covering these needs.

To make things worse, their Gofundme fundraiser was closed by GFM when the campaign organizer Andrea (@roadimusprime) switched how he transferred the money to Nour. They have created a PayPal link to collect funds, but donations to Nour have been suffering ever since! Please share and donate if you are able to! Every little bit helps!

Nour’s GFM was Shared by 90-ghost! The link doesn't work now because Tumblr took down Nour's old account, but see the reblog in the Wayback Machine link here, also see the screenshot of 90-ghost's reblog here and here.

7/7/25 update: Nour's Paypal has also been Shared by @/90-ghost!!

Hello, my name is Nadin. I’m from Gaza. I’m a graphic design graduate, a wife—and now, a mother.

I finished my design studies just before the war began. I had dreams of starting a small studio, of creating art that told stories. I used to think about colors and fonts and the future.

Then, the war came. And the future became something we tried to hold onto, moment by moment.

On October 22, 2023, I learned I was pregnant when a missile destroyed my husband’s family home, killing 25 members—his mother, siblings, nieces and nephews—entire branches of our family in seconds.

We were displaced twice. Everything was gone—home, safety, routine, rest.

A few weeks later, I gave birth to our daughter. There was no crib, no celebration—not even stillness. But she arrived, quietly and beautifully. In her eyes I saw something I hadn’t felt in weeks: life that still wanted to grow.

Now, our days are shaped by decisions that could dismantle the future we are trying to build together.

Today, Israel’s government is discussing plans for a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City and southern regions. The stated aim: to eliminate Hamas and later hand governing control to allied Arab forces—not Israel—but with no clear path to peace or normalcy.

The humanitarian fallout is devastating. More than 61,000 Palestinians have died in this war; hunger and malnutrition are rising sharply. Hospitals in north Gaza have shut down, and 193 people have now died of starvation, nearly half of them children.

Aid remains blocked, water is scarce, and many risk dying of hunger or disease long before future promises arrive.

We Don’t Know What Comes Next There’s no clear path forward—only uncertainty for our daughter’s life and our ability to survive another day.

How You Can Help I’m asking for support—not for comfort, but for survival:

Help us meet basic needs so we can breathe, heal, and preserve a world for our daughter.

Support us as I try to stand again on my own feet—even a glimmer of stability matters.
