IT TAKES 1 MINUTE TO HELP A BABY SURVIVE THIS NIGHTMARE

Thank you to everyone who helped the Ashour family reach €40,000.

But this is not the time to continue scrolling. They have a long term goal of €50,000 to raise.

As @dlxxv-vetted-donations pointed out, the longer it takes to raise €50k, the longer this family is forced to spend the funds on their survival instead of their evacuation. We don't know when the Rafah crossing will open again, but it is imperative that they have the funds ready for when it does.

Let me reintroduce you to this young family:

The Ashour family consists of Amal, her husband and baby Maryam. You can follow Amal at @amalashuor

Before the genocide began, Amal was studying for a Masters degree in French, and Maryam was only 9 months old.

Previously, their goal was to raise €30,000 to evacuate Gaza, however they have since been violently displaced several times. Costs in Gaza have been skyrocketing - transportation, tents, rent as well as food, baby formula, diapers and hygiene products. This has forced Amal to use the funds that were meant for their evacuation.

As of last month, bombings by the occuptation forced them to flee from Rafah to Khan Younis, then to Deir al-Balah, and then west from there. Please read Amal's post explaining this situation as well as the breakdown of expenses, and why they raised their goal to €50,000.

The money they raise from this fundraiser is all they have to survive. Just think about that. Maryam is facing severe malnutrition not only due to aid being blocked from entering Gaza - with more than 1 million people forced to starve - but also because what is available is extremely expensive.

Now winter is coming, which not only brings freezing temperatures but heavy rain. There isn't sufficient shelter and illness is already rampant - and don't forget they are still under constant threat of bombings and displacement. Everyday the situation is changing faster than any of us can comprehend.

It has been about a month since I started focusing on their campaign, which had been stuck on €30,000 for some time. The fact that it took this long to raise €10k, and that there is still a long term goal of €50,000 to raise, is deeply concerning.

The new short term goal is €45,000.

They are at €40,100 / €45,000 as of queue.

That is €4,900 to raise!

Please give what you can, even if it's as little as €5. These fundraisers survive thanks to several small contributions - a drop in the ocean goes a long way. For this family, your donation is a lifeline.

Israel is mass murdering the innocent civilians of Lebanon, especially children.

On Monday (23 September, 2024) Israel killed one person in the country every three minutes.

Thousands more civilians have been wounded.

I am going to do a small fundraising campaign to help my dear friend Dina get closer to her goal! If you donate $15 CAD (or more) to Dina’s gofundme, I will send you a greeting card with the beautiful medieval style Palestine flag design drawn by my wonderful friend Miles @werewolf-transgenderism 🤍

I had gotten a ton of these cards from Miles’ Inprnt for a fundraising campaign I was going to do to honour my sister in July, but as you may know by now, that did not end up happening. These cards should not go to waste and I want to something to help Dina.

I will ship them anywhere! And I will write you a fun note in them :)

To receive one:

Donate at least $15 CAD to Dina (be sure to screenshot your proof of donation)

My name is Ahmed, and I want to share my painful story with you. My small family is struggling to survive amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza. I lived a peaceful and stable life with my wife, Lubna, and our children, Mohammed, 6 years old, and Ameen, 3 years old. Our lives were full of hope until the day everything turned upside down.

One dark night, our home was completely destroyed by the violent shelling that swept through the northern part of the Strip. Losing our home was a huge shock, but it was only the beginning of a long journey of suffering. As the war intensified, we were forced to flee our home and move to the southern part of the Strip in search of safety. Leaving our home was not just a physical relocation; it was a painful goodbye to our cherished memories and dreams.

But the tragedy didn't end there. My car, which was my only source of income, was also destroyed. It wasn’t just a means of transportation—it was how I provided for my family. Without it, we have no income, and at a time when we desperately need every bit of help, we are left with nothing.

Now, my wife and I struggle every day to provide for our children under harsh living conditions. We have no permanent shelter and live in a state of uncertainty. In these difficult times, we rely on the kindness and generosity of others. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a tremendous difference in our lives. Your contributions will help provide temporary shelter, food, medicine, and other basic needs.

How You Can Help:

- Donate whatever you can to support us through these tough times and help bring some stability back into our lives.

- Share our story with your friends and family to raise awareness and gather more support.

❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸

Thank you to everyone who stands by us and supports us through this ordeal. Your presence gives us hope and restores our faith that tomorrow can be better.

Today we transferred my little daughter to the hospital because she is suffering from an infection that is affecting his breathing and causing him pain. I hope that every living conscience will help us save my little daughter’s life and donate any amount we can.

Please help us, donate and share

My name is Sami, a father of two daughters. Before the war, we had a happy life in Gaza, with a home and a small business. But the war has torn everything apart 💔. Our home was destroyed, and we have been displaced multiple times, moving from Gaza City to Rafah and now to Deir Al-Balah 🇵🇸, where we live in a small tent with no basic necessities.

Our car was destroyed 🚗💥, leaving us without transportation, and we have no financial resources to sustain us. We are waiting for the Rafah crossing to open so we can escape this deadly war 🕊️, but until then, we need your help.

Please, if you can, donate to help my family survive and rebuild our lives .
