Unfortunately, the countdown to my discharge from the hospital in Gaza has begun because the treatment I need is unavailable.

Guys, only $550 stand between me and treatment. Please donate even a small amount or share my story as widely as possible.

please help!

While I read this, I thought about my friend Ahmed. "Children in Gaza walk long, dangerous distances to fetch water due to the destruction of water and sanitation infrastructure, spending six to eight hours daily carrying heavy water loads, replacing school time with daily survival tasks." This has been Ahmed's life for years now. When the report describes the impact of malnutrition on children's bodies they are talking about his body.

In one section, the report states: "poor oral health makes it harder to eat and absorb nutrients, thus contributing to malnutrition." Ahmed (@ahmed-motaz) was born with a disability that impacts his teeth. He first started fundraising because he desperately needs expensive dental implants, which are unavailable in Gaza. It has been years and he has never saved enough to get this care, and his family can barely afford nutritious food. UNICEF ranks the Gaza Strip as “the most dangerous place in the world to be a child." These brutal conditions are even harder for disabled children. Please support Ahmed.

Like many Palestinians, tumblr staff cruelly targeted Ahmed's blog for deletion earlier this month. I am texting with him right now, and I can confirm that @ahmed-motaz is his new blog. His campaign is vetted by @gazavetters in line (#198). Please share this widely so that his followers can find him again <3

Please, I need your help. I'm suffering from severe anemia, feeling extremely dizzy and vomiting, and I'm starving because of the high price of food. I need your assistance to buy medicine and food before my condition worsens. Please don't leave me to suffer; I can't take it anymore. I need your help.

Please donate whatever you can and share the post 🙏

If anything bad happens to me or I lose contact with you, please remember that I begged you to donate, even a small amount, or to share my post. I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and doesn't support me with a single word or a small donation, and ignores me.

Please help us! Death surrounds us on all sides. They are committing all kinds of genocide against us: starvation, murder, and diseases that ravage our bodies. We die every day. Our bodies are exhausted. Every day we discover new illnesses within ourselves, and what's worse, there is no medicine or equipment, and if there is, it is prohibitively expensive. Please help us! You are our only hope

My cousin came to visit me in the hospital, and as soon as he arrived, he collapsed. We started screaming until the doctor came and examined him. He found a blood clot in his abdomen that had spread to his leg. He can't walk now. The doctor told us that if we don't operate within a week, he will lose his leg. Please help us; he will lose his leg if you don't help us. His leg has turned very blue. Please, we need $1750. Please, you are our only hope. I know the price is high because of the siege and the genocide in the Gaza Strip, but we don't want him to lose his leg. Please help us.

hj and lavonte really underlining that there’s no worse break up than one where you both still truly and deeply love each other but you just don’t see the world the same way anymore and you know it doesn’t work anymore so you have to call it even though you both still love each other so fucking much

Something something “you are the love of my life but you’re not the person I fell in love with anymore”

While children around the world dream of toys and gifts, he dreams only of enough food and a safe bed to sleep in without fear of bombing. His eyes hold a sorrow far beyond his years, a story whose pain words cannot describe.

Every time I look at this picture, I wonder: How can a child of this age bear all this pain? And how can the world see this suffering and then move on as if nothing happened?

This is the life that children in Gaza live: no food, no clean water, no new clothes, no medicine, nothing. Please help us, help the children of Gaza.

i feel so defensive and protective of people with ARFID like if i had a disorder that made my brain register 90% of food as poison for no reason and i had a bazillion people on the internet constantly calling me a manchild who needs to just grow up and stop being a picky eater i would start killing people

people with ARFID and people with very few autism safe foods and people with contamination OCD and people in ED recovery and everyone else with a complicated relationship with food that no one takes seriously GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!
