Also known as Cosmo Nautical

6-year-old Souad has been anemic since birth, and starvation and disease due to the IOF assault have caused her severe additional health complications. In September she fell unconscious and was admitted to the hospital. She has since been comatose and fluid is building up around her brain.

Medical staff have worked very hard to reduce the swelling. But despite their efforts, Souad's brain is now hemorrhaging (bleeding). The swelling has been too persistent, and the pressure is rapidly bursting the cells of her brain, causing bleeding. This will kill her. Little Souad is dying.

She needs to be evacuated outside of Gaza, but this is extremely expensive. However, in addition to the high cost of the medical evacuation, her family is also forced to pay high medical fees to the private hospital which is caring for her. It is the only facility in Gaza with the capacity to slow the deterioration of her condition, and these bills must be paid for her to live long enough for evacuation. We are now raising funds to both support Suad’s immediate life-sustaining care, AND eventual medical evacuation.

PLEASE HELP US #SaveSouad!!!

Please repost the GFM and tag #SaveSouad to spread the word. SHE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT WITHOUT THE CARE SHE NEEDS!!!

€7,921 out of €9,921 eur (4 August)

Need to raise: €2000 EUR (about $2,302 usd)

Information on vetting linked under the cut of this post

Maha and her family previously had a verified GFM to pay for basic necessities like food, medical care, and some form of shelter. Horrifically, the person running their former GFM has stolen from them and hijacked their campaign.

Below is Maha’s new GFM. Her previous GFM was vetted by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi on their vetted campaign master list, on line 163.

Maha is pregnant with another child. This should be a joyous time, but instead there is panic. Due to past injuries and illness, Maha is experiencing pregnancy complications. She urgently needs a procedure to protect her health and that of her baby. The procedure costs, and I think we can raise it relatively quickly if we really push!

The Sameer Project desperately needs your support right now. They’ve had to scale back some of their operations due to dwindling funds. Please consider setting up a recurring donation to help sustain their important work!

Three posters with text, made and signed by The Sameer Project and Translating Falasteen. They read:

What this means

Our kitchen closes: At least 3,000 meals a day, feeding up to 9,000 people, not being distributed.

Our water trucks stop: At least 350,000 liters of fresh water a day not being delivered.

Our medical clinics shut down: At least 400 patients not being treated.

Our team pauses: At least 200 ground staff on break without a way to support their families.

[Every 'not' is emphasized in capital letters]

No tents. No tarps. No transport. No medication. No baby formula. Everything people in Gaza rely on to survive is provided by aid organizations, and one by they are having to reduce or pause our operations - because of funding.

[transcriber note: we presume they meant 'one by one']

What is our plan?

Our community has always shown up, but relying solely on crowdfunding going into our third year of operations is not sustainable. We need to create more reliable and predictable streams of funding.

We're working on an action kit to share with you this week, so you can be part of the solution.

We're encouraging people to support us on a monthly basis; sign up for this feature on Chuffed.

We are asking our community to recruit monthly donors so we know how much funding we can expect.

Be an active participant in sustainability - consistency is key.

More to come.

Pausing for long, stopping distributions, ceasing operations, is not an option.

['is not an option' is emphasized in capital letters]

We need your support to create consistency and predictability in an otherwise unstable situation on the ground.

The genocide is not over - so we need to adapt. Consistency is solidarity.

We will be providing more information this week on how you can make a difference.

['You' is emphasized in capital letters]

For now, please give so we can restart our lifesaving work:
