here is a compilation list of the fundraisers for all the kind palestinian folks who have taken the time to message me with their plights. this has been the most painful message i've put together.
i've donated as much as i am able to spare, and i really hope that if anyone reading this has even a dollar or five to spare, to spread it around as much as they can, and if not, to reblog this post. i hope people also take the time to read the posts, to hear about their experiences in their own words. it breaks my heart that this is what it comes down to for some of these families and young children trying to build a life for themselves, but here we are.
