THROTTLE UP! FLAPS DOWN!

Today, the people of Gaza have returned to erased cities, desolate neighbourhoods, and ruined homes. They are facing a reality stripped of basic necessities: no mosques, no schools, no universities, no hospitals, and no usable roads. Even bakeries, markets, and essential services like water and electricity are gone.

Blessed are those who stand with Gaza, who offer support, and who do not turn their backs. Do not abandon them, even with the weakest form of faith: by sharing their story and offering your prayers."

Hey y'all -- I'm making this post on behalf of Sami and his family, who are currently suffering in Gaza. You can find their fundraiser here. I think we can all do more for Gaza, more for others — you don’t want to move through the rest of your life with the regret that you didn’t help when you could have. We've all wished for someone to be there for us in a time of need, and we can be that for other people.

I never thought I would write these words… 😔

I never imagined waking up to endless screams,

Running barefoot through smoke and fire,

Searching for my mother among the rubble,

Only to find nothing but silence… a heavy silence telling me that no one will answer me anymore. 💔

In one moment, everything changed.

Our home became a memory, my mother’s embrace became the past,

And my father's face, now absent, is the last thing I hold in my memory.

They’re gone… and left my heart burdened with unspoken grief. 😢

But despite everything, we are still here… trying.

I survived with my younger siblings.

Yes, we survived… but who are we after survival?

Children without warmth, without a roof, with no place to return to.

We were displaced to an unknown place, carrying a bag empty of everything… except pain. 🥀

We slept in the open, waking every morning to a life that holds nothing for us,

But despite everything… we keep trying. 💪

I write to you today not to cry, but to ask for hope. 🌱

I ask you to be a small light in this vast darkness,

To extend a hand that can mend what the war has broken in us.

Your donation will give my siblings a chance to sleep safely,

It will provide us with food, shelter, and maybe even a new beginning. 💖

Any amount, no matter how small, is big for us

It’s a prayer, it’s love, it’s life. 🌟

In conclusion...

From my heart, and from the hearts of my little siblings,

Thank you to everyone who has donated,

Thank you to everyone who has read,

Thank you to everyone who has shared.

. My little baby was born prematurely and has breathing problems. He was on a ventilator for two months and had recovered, but unfortunately, with the unclean air, the use of fire for cooking, and his exposure to dust and pollution as a result of the war, he returned. He is now suffering from breathing problems and severe infections and needs health care and healthy food. I hope you will help me save my little son. His body cannot handle it and his immunity is weak. He was born very small. You are my only hope. Donate and share to reach those who can help my child. Only $50 will contribute to saving my child and providing him with the basics of essentcial dippers, milk, vitamins, and medicine.please donate and share🙏🥺🙏🥺

Urgent! Please help a father save his three young daughters from war

This family is very low on funds, with only €4,237 out of the €40,000 goal

I was reached out to by Ahed to make a post for his family. This fundraiser is vetted by Gazavetters, #229 on their spreadsheet

Ahed is a 33 year old father of three young girls with his wife Maisoon. Getting Ahed the funds to evacuate his family is very urgent because they have three children under the age of ten with them, who currently don’t have access to food, clean water, or medical treatment they need. They’re at risk of bombs, infectious illnesses, and starvation every day they remain in Gaza. every hour matters

Ahed’s daughters are the light of his life and his motivation to keep going, and he’s campaigning on here every day to keep them safe. In Ahed’s words, his daughter Fatima (9) is “the closest to my heart, and my little one.”, Iman (6) “The friendly, kind, and loving child who is loved by everyone”, and little Nour, only one year old: “Who did not live her life like other children, as she was born two months before the war”.

Imagine that you’ve just had a baby girl, and you look at her with so much love and imagine with excitement what a bright future she’ll have and how she’ll play with her siblings. And only two months later, your whole life is turned upside down, and you have to wonder every day how you’ll feed her and keep her safe.

This is what happened to Ahed and his wife when they should’ve been at their happiest with a newborn daughter, everything turned into a nightmare. Their apartment was destroyed in a bombing, they were displaced multiple times, and suddenly they were raising their beautiful daughters in a war zone.

Every hour in Gaza is dangerous. Please help get Ahed, Maisoon and their children to safety as soon as possible 🙏🏼 Every donation will bring them closer to a future where Fatima, Iman, and Nour can play together and go to school and rest and recover from what they’ve been through.

Please give Ahed and Maisoon peace where they don’t have to watch their children suffer from illness and malnutrition, the worst thing for a parent to experience.

Please let Nour experience what peace feels like.

Thank you for reading their story, if you’re not able to donate, please share so it can reach people who are able to.

i got hit by a car earlier today 10/8. traumatic injuries weren't present at the time i got a CT and xray scan, but i am obviously feeling overwhelmed.

i used up most of my sick time at work a few months ago when I got covid. i will try to go back to work soon, but i have a lot to do wrt getting in touch with the police department/hospital/insurance. i cant really think properly right now and have some money. but i cannot think straight at all.

if i could get some money to cover food deliveries, i would greatly appreciate that.

(don't tag with d*nations, s*gnal b**st, etc please)

Vast networks of underground fungi – the “circulatory system of the planet” – are to be mapped for the first time, in an attempt to protect them from damage and improve their ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide.

Fungi use carbon to build networks in the soil, which connect to plant roots and act as nutrient “highways”, exchanging carbon from plant roots for nutrients. For instance, some fungi are known to supply 80% of phosphorus to their host plants.
