Update on my friend Amani from Gaza! Things are getting very dire and she has asked me once again to relay her story to you in the hopes that you will be able to help her and her family.
Amani is a 32 year old mother of 3 boys. Originally from the north of Gaza, their home was completely taken away from them by Israeli bombardment and they were forced to evacuate to the south.
Currently, Amani's family has had to evacuate 5 times and is forced to live in a tent with even the barest necessities unavailable to them. Her children are deprived of nutritious food and clean water as well as medicine and healthcare. And everyday they are at risk of losing their lives whether it is to illness or to the Israeli heavy artillery.
(ID in Alt)
Amani needs to evacuate herself and her children across the Rafah border. She is asking for $17,732 and has gotten very few donations so far!
Please help Amani get her boys to safety and out of harm's way! Every moment they spend in Gaza their life is at risk and the trauma they gain is lifelong. Donate what you can and please make sure you share!
My name is Nada Saftawi, a teacher, artist, and Palestinian mother of three: Hala, Reema, and Zuhdi. We lived in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza, where we had dreams and ambitions. On October 7th, our world was shattered by war. Forced to flee our home, we sought refuge at Al-Shifa Hospital, then walked 10 kilometers to Khan Younis, and eventually to Rafah and Al-Mawasi, facing bombings and checkpoints.
We now live in tents, struggling to survive. My son Zuhdi has contracted hepatitis from contaminated water. I am seeking help to evacuate to Egypt, which costs $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child. Your support can help us escape this cycle of war and start anew. With deepest gratitude,
Art is a kind of surgery. Something must be removed from inside of you. The process will irreversibly change you but if you don't go through with it you will continue to be poisoned. Are you listening this is important. You have to do it yourself like in Saw
Not that this soup needs any more religious imagery, but one thing the drives me a little insane is that Armand, who could be mistaken for an angel if you saw him under a shitty light bulb, was lovingly driving Daniel to suicide while Louis, who looked like a creature fresh out of the fires of hell, pushed him towards life. Something about God's easy promise of eternal rest vs the Devil urging you to live not because it's easy, but because it'd be a shame not to see how far you could get.
TIME SENSITIVE: ABDULRAHMAN HAS 11 DAYS TO RAISE 13k
Abdulrahman is a Palestinian software engineering student at Al-Azhar University urgently raising money to complete his studies abroad. He needs $13,000, and only has 11 DAYS LEFT to complete his goal! So far, he has only raised $346!!! I’ve seen what we can do when we come together to support such an urgent campaign, so I ask and urge you, please, donate to Abdulrahman and share his campaign widely so that others who can donate may see. Let’s help build Palestinian futures!
I feel like ive seen quite a few gfms getting passed around and ive observed that a lot of them have stories of such exceptional people who have achieved so much, or were going to before the genocide cut it off. And i really commend them for it, i really do.
But it breaks my heart that palestinians reaching out to us feel the need to have to prove that they are they are good people who are worth the support, like theyre only worth being supported if they had a good gpa or were exceptional in some way.
They shouldnt have to prove that theyre beneficial to the economy somehow to be worth the support. They shouldnt have to be exceptional to deserve help. Our governments are putting them through this, both in the west and around the world too. They shouldnt have to prove anything. We owe them this
