i think of fall and winter as giving seasons. most of the holidays are about giving in some way. giving candy, giving presents, giving flowers, giving food. i can see how they reflect periods of cultivation going into periods of reaping. if you're one of the lucky folks who had a very productive 2025, a very blessed one, i implore you to give during this season. give money, give time, give yourself. it's very human to give ❤️

my friend eyad has given up a bit of himself during the genocide in gaza. he has given food and water to his neighbors even when finding such things for himself seemed fruitless. he has given me kindness in our personal conversations. now i hope people give to him, all donations aid his survival during this terrible cold season in palestine. the israeli govt, in a typical display of cruelty, has not allowed in shelters or building supplies for anything outside of it's own military, so only the tents are standing and the tents cannot withstand flooding and cold. this, alongside the hunger and medical deprevation are killing palestinians for yet another winter. please help if you can ❤️

I'm very lucky to be getting a gender affirming surgery soon, which my insurance will (mostly) cover, but not everyone is that fortunate. One person who really needs some assistance to afford surgery is my dear friend Ibrahim @aburakhiaibrahim ! His right eye has been damaged during the genocide, and his doctor warned him that unless he gets it operated on soon, he will lose sight in that eye.

This is obviously terrifying, because Ibrahim often can't afford food, let alone an expensive medical procedure!! To top it off, suffering under Israel's constant cruelty has led to him developing incredibly severe depression - he's talked often lately about wishing he was dead.

I'm very worried for my friend. Please, don't abandon him in his time of need. Just because there is a so-called ceasefire does not mean the people of Gaza are safe or suddenly thriving, not after so much destruction and trauma. Israel is continuing to starve them, force them to live in flimsy tents during the cold wet winter, and bomb them. Palestine is still under siege.

There are two ways you can donate to Ibrahim and his family:

GFM:

His brother's PayPal, which accepts smaller donations than GFM and is easier for his family to access quickly:

Every single donation helps, no matter how small!!

Hi y'all -- I'm making this post on behalf of Sami, Hamza, and his family, who are currently sheltering in Gaza. You can find their fundraiser here.

As winter breaks and times with our families approach for a lot of us, it’s important not to forget the families suffering in Gaza. Many people don’t have functioning homes or food to eat. The violence against Palestinians is still happening, despite the supposed ceasefire. Sami’s family has many young children, and I ask that you please take the time to donate or spread his fundraiser! Thank you so, so much.

$10 isn't much - it might not even be enough for your favorite streaming subscription or morning coffee. Why not donate $10 for one of the following campaigns!

If you cannot donate this Tuesday, please reblog so this post reaches someone who can.

as you guys know my grandparents got scammed almost a month ago, some man told them he was going to send them medical equipment they needed for $500 dollars, we were desperate, not only they lost all the money they had, my grandpa has gotten significantly worse, he's starting to lose vision in his good eye and my grandma is losing mobility as well (evidence), I know I sound annoying always coming here and begging for money for my grandparents and for my college, I don't know how to anticipate the grief, losing my grandpa everyday to his illness, losing my college education cause I can't afford it, in México the situation it's just getting worse and even though I feel lonely I have found a community here and I'm forever grateful for that, even a dollar goes a long way and all the money will go to their medical needs since I'm very sure I won't be able to cover college expenses, please share and donate if you can, you can help via p*ypal or any way you want through ko-fi, here's the link! 💕 thank you sm

I’m Diala, from Gaza —a mother of three little children,just trying to survive among the ruins.Our home was destroyed in the war,the sky became our roof,and the night — our witness.

I need three painful surgeries:

𓂃 skull fracture repair

Each day, I need $100 —not for luxury, but for life.Medicine. Food. Shelter. A bit of hope.

I write this not to make you sad,

but to remind you — compassion still exists 🌸
