Someday, I’ll have a little house in the woods near a pond, with so many trees, in the midst of rain storms in Autumn. 🍂

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers

great question. while a lot of these gofundmes started to fund evacuations, since the border will not open they have shifted to covering the costs of daily survival in gaza

the cost of food alone in gaza right now has been reported by journalists on the ground (including @siraj2024) to be 20 times the normal price.

and it varies based on location. the north is currently being starved by the IOF so food prices are higher

and there is a lot of evidence on tumblr that proves that these fundraisers do help

@ma7moudgaza2 was able to buy a tent for his family and is currently trying to pay for a solar panel

@siraj2024 was able to secure rent for a (bombed out, but still) apartment for his family over the winter

@mohdiwais was able to fund medical care for his sister after she was shot by the IOF using funds he raised on tumblr

a gaza-based charity called care for gaza has also been directly assisting families with funds used from their gofundme. they even post videos of themselves giving out food

The pace of difficult events happened to my family in an accelerated and unexpected manner, like anyone living in Gaza.

I left my house, which was demolished, with the death of ten members of my family. I left with only the clothes I was wearing and was displaced more than 9 times. Every time you are displaced, you buy new clothes and new special supplies because the army orders for evacuation are quick and often at night and in the dark, so you just leave without taking anything. The aid helped me provide medicine, which was not available and was very expensive, and provide special needs, a medical wheelchair, and saved my sister’s life. She is now fine among her children. It also helped me buy a solar panel to charge phones and contact with my family and my dear friends (yesterday I updated that on GoFundMe). It also helped me buy more than one tent for my family because my family is large.
