if anyone new here is concerned about this whole thing being a scam, the first pic is me and my SDit as a puppy last spring, the second pic is me a couple days ago with megace, a cancer drug that increases appetite to treat cachexia in very sick people. just one of several new specialty medications i take now, lol. the second pic has been edited to redact my personal information. the difference in how i look is substantial, at least to me. for anyone who needs more info in private, i can provide evidence of medical tests, care, meds, bills, whatever; can provide evidence of all that other shit with my car, family, service dog in training, etc too. i'm not okay, lol, and i'm not keen on dying before i even get to see the specialized oncologist. just the newest of many very cool tricks gd loves to play on eden 馃憤

sorry but it鈥檚 actually so horrific how little of a sense of community people have, how little regard they extend towards the other humans around them. killing people for being loud on the subway or turning around in your driveway. loading your gun and waiting at the door because a child ran your doorbell unexpectedly. ring cameras, neighborhoodapp, community watch group Facebook pages. you鈥檝e assigned yourself the role of the one true peacekeeper and casted everyone else around you as a threat to be controlled. there鈥檚 no connection or love or compassion. just a deep distrust and hatred.
and the people who face the most significant consequences from this are the ones who are already deemed as outsiders. people of color, especially Black people, disabled people, people with mental illnesses, homeless people.
letstalkpalestine has set up a LinkTree that prioritizes different fundraisers for people in Gaza and rotates out fundraisers once campaigns are complete. There are so many worthy causes worth donating to and it can be difficult to keep track of them all, so this is a great resource.
Operation Olive Branch has created a Google Drive of different GoFundMe campaigns to support. All campaigns have been vetted. They're also encouraging people to go to the social media pages of family members responsible for the different campaigns and amplify their voices, which is an extremely important step that I've found tends to be left out. Donating is great, but doing everything we can to boost Gazans' stories and spread awareness is crucial.
Thank you to all who donated under my last post. Thanks to your amazing efforts, Mona was able to distribute 100KG OF FRESH CHICKEN!!! DO YOU LOVELY PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW AMAZING THAT IS? The vast majority of the people of Ghazzah haven't had meat in months. Mona is truly amazing. Please remember to donate! Every dollar goes a long way!
G*f*ndme to distribute basic necessities in Ghazzah.
P*ypal for the same thing.
G*f*ndme to evacuate Mona & her family.
Instagram to track progress.
If anyone still wants to send her kind messages, leave some under this post in the tags or replies and I will send it to her (no inbox this time please as there's lots of people asking for fundraiser checking there).
Basically, I'm very physically disabled. Seizures, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, the works. I have a job, but haven't been getting any hours. When I do, a six-hour shift can fuck up my back for days. Like, "can't leave my bed except to get food" levels of fucks up my back.
I use a cane, but it puts a lot of stress on my wrist. I'd really like to get a set of forearm crutches to alleviate it. They're relatively cheap, but I dunno if I'm even making rent next month. (My roommate took over five hundred dollars from me a while ago, and my bank account still hasn't recovered from having to put expenses on a credit card.)
I got around seventy bucks to my name right now, and my paychecks are like $200 a pop, so, y'know. Anything helps. If I can get like 200 in donations TOTAL I should at least be able to make rent? Maybe? Thanks.
instead of continuously over-donating to ao3 when those running the site are racist zionist sympathisers who shut down support of palestine from its volunteers 1 / 2 (among myriad other issues that u should NOT be funding) please direct your attention to these incomplete fundraisers for people in gaza and various tangible operations doing work. this is a call that if u have donated even a cent to ao3 to a) match that in your donations to palestinians/causes and b) stop donating so uncritically and unconditionally to ao3, pressure them. id like to direct u to @end-otw-racism
Disabled 17 year old Mohammed Hammad needs medical Evacuation immediately!!
$10K needed ASAP
Mohammed has a fixator on one leg which has sepsis; he will need it amputated (life threatening in current conditions) if he isn't evacuated to Cairo immediately. He takes care of 6 younger siblings essentially by himself. a @FedUp4Palestine verified fuhnd-raizer!

To the left of the text is a photo of Mohammed Hammad laying down with his right leg propped up. His leg has a Ilizarov apparatus, a metal fixator that holds pins in his leg (so they are both external and internal, and are easily infected). He is wearing a brown shirt and is smiling. There are two QueerCrip symbols on the graphic that are filled in with pal-eh-steinian flags.]
This is the most urgent fundraiser that I, (Sky from Rebirth Garments), am currently working on!
