Hello

Ramadan Mubarak.

What should be a time for the people in Palestine to spend joyfully with their families is still a nightmare. Resources like food, water, and medicine are still scarce and bombs are still falling on children in tents.

If you have the means, please consider donating to my friend Hamza during his and his family’s time of need. They have had such a rough go of life, and could use the help, especially during the holiday. If you can’t donate please consider reblogging — everything is helpful!!

Hey y'all -- I'm making this post on behalf of Sami and his family, who are still suffering in Gaza. You can find their fundraiser here. It’s atrocious that people have to continue to live in such awful conditions, and if we are able to help them I think we should — even if it’s small! If you can, please consider donating or reblogging his fundraiser.

Sami’s family is large and has many young children who deserve a better life. I desperately hope that the Rafah crossing will be open soon and they’ll be able to leave and find a better life — but they need the funds to do so.

Today, bullets pierced our tent… the children were playing inside when it happened.

We are a displaced family, living in a fragile tent with barely enough to survive. This morning, gunfire struck our shelter.

By a miracle, no one was physically harmed, but the emotional trauma is unbearable.

My children picked up the bullets from the ground... and asked me, “Mom, are we going to die too?”

I took these photos just minutes later, not to shock you, but to show you the heartbreaking reality we’re living.

Amal is a pregnant mother, who’s currently displaced in Gaza. Previously, she used to run a campaign to support her family’s basic needs until GFM shut it down. For that, her and her sister launched a Chuffed campaign to ensure that donations reach both families safely and reliably. The funds from this campaign aim to:

- Help the families evacuate from Gaza

- Find a safe place to live

- Provide food and medical care for the kids

- Help them heal from this terrifying experience

Please support Amal’s family by donating and sharing. Help this fundraiser gain traction as it barely raised ~$100 so far.

From my heart, Happy New Year to all of you who have stood with me and my family through everything we have lived.

Over the past two years, you have been our family, the people who stood by us during the war, bombing, destruction, displacement, hunger, sickness, fear, and uncertainty. You were there when everything around us was collapsing, and your humanity surrounded us like warmth in the coldest moments of our lives.

I also know that you have patiently endured my frequent posts and tags, and have repeatedly shared my posts and encouraged your followers to donate and help my family over these two years. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, but we had no other path except to keep reaching out to you. Please accept my apologies and those of my entire family.

These were two years of explosions and gunfire, of constant bombing and death following us wherever we went. Two years in which we saw houses collapse on their owners, bodies pulled from under the rubble, and streets turned into ruins. We lost friends, neighbors, and relatives, and parted with loved ones we could not even say goodbye to. It was grief that left no time to breathe, a wound that reopened every single day.

Life after death became even harsher. Tents under burning sun, freezing cold, and rain soaking our beds. Nights of hunger and sickness. Empty markets and unbearable prices. Medicines we could not find. A life without stability, work, or income, while my father’s illness weighed heavier on us.

And yet, despite everything, you never left us alone. Some of you supported us financially, some kept sharing my campaign again and again, and some sent messages just to say: "We are thinking of you. Stay strong." Every message, every repost, every donation carried a piece of hope that helped us continue.

You were not just followers. You were family. People who chose compassion over indifference, love over silence, and humanity despite the distance. Your kindness eased the weight of every harsh stage we went through, and we carry your names in our prayers every single day.

As our struggle continues, I kindly ask you to please continue supporting my family, we are still in urgent need of your humanity, solidarity, and kindness.

Thank you for standing with us, for believing in us, and for being the light that reached us through the darkness. I pray that Gaza finally finds peace, that the war ends completely, that reconstruction begins, that medicine, food, and materials enter freely, and that life returns to what it was before the war.

From my family to yours: Happy New Year, and may the world become kinder than the years we have lived through. ❤️❤️❤️

I once wrote a calm post asking people not to underestimate small acts of help — because panic doesn’t protect children from winter.

The place we’re moving toward still needs basic work: covers, wood, simple sealing. Just enough to keep rain and cold out.

Happy holidays y’all!

As a lot of us get ready to spend time with our families and friends this winter season, please don’t forget those in Gaza currently suffering the violence, cold weather, and hunger there. At the end of the day, we are all neighbors in this world, and should work to support and care for another.

I’m making this post on the behalf of my friends Sami and Hamza, who are currently fundraising to keep their family fed and housed, as well as to have enough money to leave Gaza once the opportunity arises. Please, if you can, donate or reblog to help them out this year.

"It is clear that after everything we have endured, we – like other displaced Palestinians – cannot survive a third winter in these harsh conditions. We survived two winters in displacement, living in tents that protected neither from cold nor rain, waiting with exhausted patience for a ceasefire that would end our suffering. The ceasefire finally came, but relief did not. We remain in the same place, with bodies drained by malnutrition and illness, under tents worn out by the sun and wind."

Israel has breached the terms of the ceasefire hundreds of times, killing nearly 400 people.

Israel has continued to block the delivery of aid. The Gaza Government Media Office recorded that no more than 234 trucks per day have entered Gaza since the ceasefire began.

Storm Byron hit Gaza. Strong winds destroyed over 27,000 tents and 11 people were killed by collapsed buildings.

People cannot stay warm without shelter or sources of heat. The first deaths from hypothermia were of a nine year old child, Hadeel al-Masri, and two little babies, Rahaf Abu Jazar and Taim al-Khawaja.

Please help my friend Fadel in Gaza. His family is trying to survive prolonged illness and repeated flooding while living out of a tent.

Today Fadel (@fadel-dani) told me that he was forced to spend money he had saved for his urgent surgery on a used tent. His family could not afford a new one, but their previous tent was torn apart so they needed to buy what they could afford.

They have been sick with the flu for weeks now, unable to get enough donations to afford adequate shelter, medicine, or food.

Please donate as soon as you can. They cannot endure these brutal conditions for much longer. Fadel is disabled and needs monthly medication, and he has also sustained extremely painful injuries, with shrapnel from the bombing of his home splintering his body.

At time of writing, he's only €6,826 raised. Only 14% of his goal. This money disappears quickly with expenses just to keep his family alive another week. The cost of basic supplies, of food and clean water, add up quickly.

But this whole time he is suffering in pain. I worry for his family. prolonged illness in this winter weather, especially while malnourished, is extremely dangerous.

Guys,

The latest storm hit Gaza with devastating force. Freezing rain tore through the tents, flooding the places where families sleep and leaving children on cold, muddy ground. The collapsed sewage system mixed rainwater with wastewater, spreading sickness and choking smells through the camps.

My family is among those struggling to hold on.

Without donations, it means no food, no medicine, no clean water, and no protection from this brutal cold.

If you can help, even the cost of a single cup of tea, it could mean warmth, food, or medicine for my family.

Please donate and reblog 🙏💔

I am Amal and I live in Gaza, and I can tell you that the situation is very tragic, much worse than you can imagine.

When the doctor tells me my husband needs new medication, I know I'll face many difficulties, the first being the cost of the treatment.

This treatment might cost the same as a cup of coffee for someone outside Gaza, but here I can't afford it because I'm unemployed and we have no money.

Therefore, I decided to create this fundraising campaign to help me.

Please, do something. Just think for a moment—what would you do if it were your mother?

Every night, I listen to my children shiver under thin blankets, and I hold them close, trying to give them some warmth… but the cold is stronger than all of us.

Since we lost our home, this worn-out tent is all we have.

The wind strikes it every night as if trying to tear away what little is left of our lives.

My husband grows weaker day by day, and I have nothing but a heart that breaks for all of them.

We desperately need help—blankets, food, a better tent… anything that can protect my children from this merciless winter.

Your kindness could be the reason they sleep tonight feeling warm and safe.

Please… don’t leave us alone in this cold. 🤍❄️

For purposes of this post, I'm defining "shoe" as "footwear you'd wear outside the house", and "actually used" as "something you've worn within the past month, and/or that you expect to wear again within a year".

Reblog with how many pairs of shoes you have that are actually used, and what they are.

alice's disability advocacy naturally led her to palestine solidarity as the quote from the blog post announcing 'crips for esims' illustrates:

We also recognize that everyone in Gaza is now disabled due to the massive number of deaths, new disabilities, life-threatening illnesses and destruction of medical facilities going on. Such destruction also debilitates the land, water, and air, which will impact Palestinians and all surrounding life for generations to come. We owe our kin in Palestine to throw sand on the gears of genocide with our every breath. [source: the disability visibility project]

since december 2023, crips for esims for gaza has raised well over $3.1M and bought and maintained over 5,000 esims, undoubtedly saving lives.

in the past few days there has been intense winter flooding in gaza. donate to honor alice wong's memory–to keep people connected, to give disabled people the tools to advocate for themselves, to refuse to let palestine be silenced.
