hello 💕 i mentioned this in another post but i have some good news which is that i will be starting an intensive outpatient program within the next few weeks. i'm cautiously optimistic about it because i need some sort of change in my way of managing just existing. i have hardly been doing that for about as long as i can remember, but it had gotten really bad in the last few months and i was looking down the barrel of potentially losing my job alongside some of the worst suicidal ideation i have experienced in a long time. so i am really hoping this will make some sort of positive progress because things as they have been are currently completely unsustainable for me.

this program will require i take an extended leave from work. the leave should be partially covered by short term disability but i will be taking a major hit to my pay, and my expenses for rent, utilities, and general debt are already $1400 per month before factoring in groceries, pet supplies, prescription refills, or transportation, not counting the cost of the program itself. i am not able to rely on family for support and have already been struggling to make ends meet while working full time.

i would really, really appreciate any assistance that folks are able to offer, whether that is sharing this post or donating. i know this is a lot to ask, especially with so many people struggling right now, but i am hoping to raise around $2500. the program lasts for a little over 2 months, and that would be enough to cover my rent for that time and a little bit extra to help disability pay cover the rest of my necessities and bills.

We write from beneath the rubble, beneath the bombs, beneath a sound that feels like the Day of Judgment itself.

We fled death, only to find it again.

We escaped to western Gaza, hoping for a breath to keep us alive but the occupation followed us.

They’re bombing us now with 5-ton missiles.

The blast tears the sky apart, the destruction swallows everything around us.

This is a view from the area where I live now.👇

We are trapped in the heart of death with no way out, simply because we can’t afford transport.

My children tremble in my arms, screaming in fear and I’m preparing them for death if we don’t escape in the next few hours.

€1300 that’s all we need to pay for a truck to take us south.

Not a home not even a tent just a truck to escape the grave.

Please, help us now because the next moment may never come.

"Invoking preexisting conditions or comorbidities in this way suggests that a person's death is somehow 'natural' or 'unavoidable' or the product of a mixture of 'destiny' meets 'biology,' rather than the explicit policy of siege and famine being imposed as a condition of genocide. When you see the death of a starving Palestinian being reframed in terms of 'preexisting health issues' ... the crucial question to ask someone trying to make that contextual reframe is: if food, medicine, and adequate care had been available, would this person almost certainly be alive, and would another person under these conditions be facing the same fate?" -Beatrice Adler-Bolton, "Can the Subaltern Starve?" Death Panel Podcast

My friend Ahmed informed me that the advancing occupation and closures of crossings are leading markets to price-gouge once again, making food increasingly expensive. He said that medicine is no longer available and his family doesn't know how to treat his brother's injuries without it.

Even if they can raise enough for transportation there, Rafah is not fit to live in because Israelis already completely destroyed the area. There is no water, sewage, hospitals, or food. It is empty of all the necessities of life.

Ahmed's family has been living under dire conditions for too long. Everyone in the Gaza Strip is starving, some relying on only one meal a day or every couple days. Ahmed's family has so few funds at this time that they have not eaten bread in a week! Israeli occupiers bombed a sewage line near him and destroyed his family's access to clean water along with their tent.

Ahmed's fundraiser is number 198 on gazavetters, and so far his campaign has been under-shared and neglected. He has raised €14,490 so far at time of writing.

If you can donate anything, time is of the essence. His family needs urgent support for their survival.
