Whatever you voted, imagine your home. Imagine it taken from you, destroyed. Homeless, displaced, dispossessed.

I have no words for how we have failed Gaza. My brother Nader @abdalsalam2000 and his family face imminent displacement by the genocidal forces of the IOF. They require funds to flee, and their survival rests on us. I make a personal plea to you to donate to his family's campaign so that they can survive. It is vetted and is #4 on the gazavetters approved fundraiser list. Please, please help my friends.

Right now, my friend Ibrahim Aburakhia and his family are being displaced, forced to flee to escape death at the hands of the IOF. They need money to afford the high prices for food and shelter so that they may stay alive. Unfortunately, donations keep stagnating, making it difficult to afford necessities.

Ibrahim and his family are living through a genocide. All they are asking for is help to survive. They deserve to live, and to have a better life than this.

Please, help Ibrahim and his family. Share this post, and donate to his campaign if you can. Give Ibrahim's new account @gaza-1999 a follow. These things may only take a moment for you, but they could be the difference between life and death for the Aburakhia family.

I speak to you from the brink of death surrounded by flames and relentless explosions

Last night, my children didn’t sleep a moment, waiting for the next strike.

Tents around us burned, bodies still lie in the streets, and no one dares approach.

Our area is nearly abandoned Everyone who could flee has left. Only we remain those who can't afford to escape.

For days, I’ve been pleading for help to evacuate south, but the bitter truth is what little support arrives barely buys bread.

Now, my plea has changed. I’m not asking for safety anymore just a step away from certain death.

I need to evacuate to the western part of northern Gaza still dangerous, but *slightly less deadly.

This minimal escape costs €600.

✋ I’m not asking for much only the right to survive.

Emergency: I don't want to be stranded after my dad's cancer surgery!!

Wednesday, September 3rd: Hello, everyone. I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and disabled woman, and I regret needing to ask for help, but I need assistance in covering travel expenses to return home from my dad's after his cancer operation.

On August 15th, I received a call from the hospital regarding some check-ups my dad had due to a persistent cough he's had for some time. To our dismay, they've diagnosed him with throat cancer. We're still processing this, and my dad was given two options: chemotherapy or a laryngectomy (removal of the voice box).

He was admitted to the hospital on Sunday, the 31st, with his laryngectomy scheduled for yesterday, September 2nd. I spoke with the doctor afterwards, and thankfully, the surgery went smoothly with no complications. They just need to monitor his breathing closely since he has COPD, a condition we weren't even aware of until now.

I was informed that he’ll spend about a month recovering in the hospital, learning to breathe, eat, and communicate without his voice and through a stoma. However, while he is in the hospital, we need to return home, which puts us in a tough spot, as my sister and I could only afford one-way tickets.

A return trip costs £167 for two adults, which we are still struggling to raise. We also require some funds to cover our travel to and from the station here and back home. We plan to return home TODAY!!!

I know this is a big ask, but if anyone could spare even a small amount—just £1, $1, or €1—it would make a truly significant difference. Sharing this message would also help just as much.

Sorry for the lengthy post, and thank you so much for all your help and support.

£30/£120!!

so i'm asking for help again, i have a goal that covers outstanding debts that keep accumulating so i can take care of those properly and i can actually start seeing some light out of my life. idk, i will hold on to hope. please help me please idk what to do, im hungry and i keep getting sick from the food at home as my mom doesnt care about hygiene

this is my link 💕🙏🏽🛐

The community nicknamed her "the walking wonder," and in 2018, Karmin achieved legend status in the Iconic International House of Revlon — a significant milestone in ballroom culture. "That was the happiest moment because she felt like all the things that she went through and all the things that she did have paid off," Hudson remembered. "And from that moment she said, 'Ma, we're legends. So let's become icons.' I said, 'You become an icon because I only partook in this for y'all.' So, she said, 'I'm going to become your icon and I'm going to make you proud.'" Wells’ death is part of a devastating pattern affecting trans women of color nationwide. Abad, who has become a nationally recognized expert witness on transgender violence and social determinants of health, emphasizes that these cases often involve perpetrators who were already familiar with their victims.

My wife suddenly collapsed before my eyes, and we rushed her to the hospital without understanding why Is it malnutrition? The ongoing war? The psychological terror? Or the exhaustion from cooking over the blazing fire in our tent?

Blue bruises cover her body, and every breath she takes tears my heart apart. My children cry helplessly, and I am consumed with fear for my little daughters. DONATE NOW

My wife urgently needs healthy food rich in protein and vitamins, psychological rest, and immediate treatment that is very expensive.

I beg you… donate now to save the life of my wife and daughters. You are their only hope, and every moment of delay could be the difference between life and death.

🔴To charge our phones, we have to walk long distances to someone who has solar power and pay money for it.

🔴Getting internet requires buying a card that costs $1 for just 16 hours, which is a heavy burden with no income.

🔴When I withdraw the cash donations that reach me, I don’t receive the full amount… I only get 50% because of the extremely high fees. Half of the kindness and generosity given to us is lost before it can reach my children and cover our basic needs.

🔴I know some English, but not fluently, so communicating with you often takes time and constant translation.

🔴Water doesn’t come through the taps we fill buckets and use them for everything.

🔴We wash our clothes with only water because there are no cleaning supplies.

🔴Basic painkillers like paracetamol and ibuprofen are unavailable. Even shampoo or hair cream don’t exist; just being able to shower with a little water feels like a blessing.

🔴We dream of seeing electricity again, of turning on a device that could bring us relief.

🔴We dream of living in a real home, moving freely from one room to another instead of being stuck in a small tent.

🔴Even luxury chocolate, something so normal for the rest of the world, we haven’t tasted in over a year.

We don’t know why we are deprived of such simple things… Is it collective punishment? Or do they want diseases to spread among us until we die from epidemics?
