Tonight, she was admitted to the intensive care unit after her condition worsened and she lost the ability to breathe. She is now staying alive with the help of medical machines.

I will never forget watching people ignore this desperate plea while I watch my wife fade before my eyes, unable to save her on my own.

Doctors told me her condition is extremely critical, and without urgent treatment she may not survive another night. So I am begging you: can you help me save her life? I plead with you as a husband and a father in Gaza, watching my wife collapse in front of me and unable to stop what is happening to her. Please donate now and help me save her life before it is too late.

I will never forgive those who choose to ignore this plea.

Please donate now on GoFundMe.

In addition to 15-year-old Nour’s ongoing health issues, Nour’s sister Noha recently developed a severe stomach ulcer due to an infection induced by drinking unsanitary water. This ulcer is causing Noha extreme pain and digestive issues, and if it is not treated very soon, will lead to internal bleeding. This ulcer has gone untreated in order to allot more funds for Nour’s ongoing nebulizer treatments, but it has progressed to the point of literally debilitating pain and serious complications. Let’s raise the cost of treatment ASAP so Nour can continue nebulizer treatments and Noha can live her life again!!

Current: $4,872 out of $5,290 usd (19 June)

basically. i am seriously fucking trapped in a bad situation. debt (litigation because i have not veen able to afford to pay off anything and) & an impending $400-odd to pay off for my phone so i can leave this scam of a contract and get to a much cheaper and better contract. i do not have payment arrangements set up for the debt yet but it is a Lot. $14k a lot.

i need at minimum $450 raised/saved to be able to pay off the rest of my phone (contract ends july 21) and i don't know how much i need exactly to start paying off the debts but literally anything. i aim to start small with what i can afford ($50-100 per two weeks while i'm working minimum wage) but i'm looking for higher paying jobs. more work. anything i can get my hands on to pay this off. but i don't drive or have a vehicle

minimum wage is $15/h, i get paid $15.50/h. it's not even livable in the albertan/canadian economy, i'm working all i can and i'm floundering really badly. please, if anyone can help with any of this, i would be eternally grateful. this debt was accrued using credit to pay my bills and feed myself and my cat after i lost my job back in 2024 after being financially abused for multiple years and facing workplace bullying that ended up with a lot of retaliation against me. workplace and exterior injuries have also left me at a massive disadvantage of not being physically able to work but even pushing past that it's not enough.

the stress is severely impacting my physical health in turn. i can barely keep food down from the stress and i don't know what the hell i'm supposed to do. i can't get a loan until i catch up on missed payments and i can barely even manage this. please. if anyone has advice or the extra funds to spare, please please please help. i feel so awful asking for help with something like this but i don't have a choice.

there is no justice for palestinians unless the zionist state is dismantled. eyad and his family (vetted campaign #24) have been displaced, yet again, by isr*el's onslaught of bombs. he had to flee from his house when he had heard rockets fall around him.

below is a video of what is happening in gaza right now, as the world turns away – if you turn the sound on, you can hear the person behind the camera weeping. the explosions are so big that they send bodies flying out of buildings.

please continue to share and donate to eyad's fundraiser. it has not received any donations in almost a week. the genocide is not going go away simply because we stop caring.

My family needs you. Don't let them down or ignore people who need your support.

Their sin is on your necks, O free people of the world. You are our support, our only voice in this harsh life.

With your phone and keyboard, you can save an entire family. Don't let these words pass you by without reacting.

Do everything you can to spread the word that can help my family.

My pregnant wife is now in the ICU after her condition suddenly deteriorated and her blood levels dropped dangerously low. I am terrified of losing both her and our baby.

At the same time, my mother is still in the hospital, fighting for her life and desperately needing treatment.

I am trapped between two nightmares, and I cannot save either of them on my own.

If you can help, please don't wait. Donate or share my fundraiser before it's too late.

I don't think I will ever forget the people who had the chance to help save my family... and chose not to.

do u think pointing out that Thomas Jefferson was Also a child molester (source)*, would help my "the Founding Fathers suck" talking points

*Source, including primary source plantation records, via Getting Word, the department of African American History at Monticello, which was Thomas Jefferson's actual plantation home. This is specifically in reference to Sally Hemmings, who was 13 years old when Thomas Jefferson began assaulting her

or like. massively backfire

.....Yeah.

For this 4th of July, donate some money to Black activists and Black-led organizations if you can!

I met them at an anti-war conference and as soon as I was able I signed up for monthly reparations. I will never regret it.
