hey howdy

A gentle reminder Gaza has suffered the equivalent of 42,500 Bondi terrorist attacks and 212 September 11s.

This is not inevitable. It is a series of choices that continues to be made every day by human beings to directly cause suffering, and to look the other way instead of doing anything to prevent or lessen this suffering.

We can choose differently. We can do something to lessen this suffering. Our choices matter. Please help Fadel and his family to survive.

Meet Fadel

Fadel is multiply disabled.

A very serious accident left his leg paralyzed for a long time, and now he walks with great difficulty. He also has thalassemia, a blood disorder, which leaves him incredibly fatigued. The medication he needs costs €400 every month. He suffers from dizziness and nausea all the time.

Today he told me:

The Israeli occupation army announced an evacuation order for the entire Gaza Strip this morning. The bombing was very intense and did not stop the whole time. I am very tired and my feet hurt so much I can't walk on them. I have severe swelling in my thigh and the pain is very severe. I went to have my blood sample tested 4 days ago and unfortunately my blood count is 8 and it is still very weak. The doctor prescribed me a new medication, but I don't know how I will be able to buy it.

Fadel needs urgent surgery

Over 550 days ago, Fadel's family home was bombed and he was left with iron shrapnel embedded in his body. The medical infrastructure in Gaza has been decimated and he URGENTLY needs to get to a better-resourced hospital to get this shrapnel surgically removed safely.

Fadel's family is starving

Israel has created and maintained famine in Gaza as a genocidal tactic. Not only do they prevent food aid from entering, but they target crowds of Palestinians waiting for the distribution of aid.

Fadel and his brothers recently traveled together to an aid site, hungry and desperate for food, only to be met with Israeli snipers.

Fadel's campaign is vetted

His campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters (#197) and 90-ghost.

Earlier this year he raised nearly 50% of his goal, but on April 25th, 2025, GoFundMe cruelly deleted his fundraiser with no warning or explanation (something this company has done to many Palestinians trying to survive genocide) and he was forced to start over with a new campaign.

Despite GoFundMe's deletion of his first campaign automatically returning all donations to the donors, most people who previously donated have not taken the time to send that money back to him.

Today as I write this (June 29, 2025), he has has raised 42% of his goal, still over €2,000 less than the amount he had raised back in April.

He has escaped death so many times, and he needs our help to survive long enough to get to a hospital who can treat his injuries.

I was injured as a result of the bombing of our house while my family and I were inside it, which resulted in me being injured by shrapnel from the explosion and many pieces of iron entered my body. Please donate to me as soon as possible because I need a surgery outside Gaza to remove these shrapnel. Please, I cannot bear all this pain. Please donate so I can get out of here and get treatment!!!!!

My campaign vatted by:

The bombing hasn't stopped since yesterday, and today another massacre occurred, claiming the lives of 30 people. Please, I can't bear all this pain. Please, I don't want to die in a massacre. Please help me quickly. Please, 526 people have shared my post. If everyone had donated at least 10 euros, I could have raised 5,260 euros to cover my surgery costs.!!

I am Falestine, Jad Al-Haq, I am 37 years old, married, and I have a eight-month-old child named Youssef. I gave birth to him during the war during very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. I moved from the hospital immediately after giving birth to the tent in which we were staying after we were displaced to it after the Israeli bulldozers completely bulldozed my house. and my suffering did not start from here. Rather, it began since the beginning of the war, and I am still suffering. I cannot provide enough milk for my baby or diapers. Even medicines and vitamins are not available.

I ask you for your urgent help in disseminating the link to my family and communicating it to people interested and able to help us.  I didn't want to do it, but the tragic situation we are living in is what pushed me to do it.  I feel sad and helpless, after we had everything, we are now homeless on the streets, living in a tent next to a dilapidated public toilet and there is sewage, dirt and waste everywhere, we sleep on it!  We suffer from terrible heat, insects, scorpions, the danger of death, bombs and missiles, in addition to hunger of course, the danger of pollution and terrible diseases, especially the digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems!

.  My father and mother could not bear it any longer. My father had a stroke after losing his home and his place of work, and my mother suffers from chronic diseases and needs treatment.

  Do you have the right to imagine that when you spend your life building for yourself and your children to live a decent life, all of this disappears in the blink of an eye, and now when you reach the age where you should rest, you are forced to start again!!?  But the most important thing now is to try to survive and protect your children from all the factors of death that surround us!  I ask everyone who has humanity or conscience to feel our situation and put themselves in our place.  How can someone who has lived with dignity all his life accept this?  We are slowly dying every day.

Your donation, no matter how small, can have a big impact.  It can provide a meal for my little one, a clean bottle of water, or a moment of safety under these difficult circumstances.  Every donation brings with it a ray of hope, alleviating our suffering and giving us the strength to face a new day.

I ask you to donate and support the steadfastness of the Gazan people, and share this campaign with your friends and families.  Together, we can make a difference and help my family get through this ordeal.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support.

Warm greetings,

Falestine

Help my family survive and start a new life

Hello everyone, thank you for taking a moment to read our story.

I am Hazem Shawish, and I am trying to save my family from this war.

We live in Gaza, where we face significant challenges due to the current situation.

My family consists of 11 members, including my mother, two daughters, four sons, and three children.

Why are they sitting together? Don’t worry about it.
