Evacuate disabled mom Nara and her family! 
Send support to givebutter.com/NaraMedicalAid
They need $17,500 to evacuate their family and the rest will go towards medical treatments for her Pancreatic cancer and MS which were both brought on by a white phosphorus exposure in 2008. 
Please support the @fedup4palestine_campaigns verified give butter and please share with your networks! Sending direct messages to people, texting and calling with specific asks for support work the best, so please take a little time out of your day to share mindfully! 
Nara cannot share her own campaign because only her immediate family knows of her disabilities and cancer, so it is our responsibility to get her funded! 
The other day she got her first chunk of money from Fed up successfully! 
For our lesson today for my student Mos’s 13th birthday, they finished up this great poster of Nara!

Text reads “Evacuate disabled mom Nara and her family!” In colored pencil block text. There is a QR code that goes to the give butter link givebutter.com/NaraMedicalAid

Evacuate Abood (Abdul) Rahman Shreim and his family of 15 from Gaza and get them to safety!
The Shreim family includes Abdul Rahman, and his twin brother, Hamza, his parents, his older brother Ahmed, and his older sisters Iman, Noor, and Haneen. Also included are three of his sibling’s spouses and four of their children, ages 5 to a newborn. His sister Noor recently gave birth to a baby girl and has entered motherhood amidst these incredibly challenging circumstances.
I had a very beautiful life as a software engineering student and we had a very good income but the war has wiped us out. After the war, I want to continue my studies in Turkey because my university was destroyed and I will have no future inside Gaza. – Abdul Rahman
The family has lost many close friends and relatives due to the Israeli occupation, and they have experienced more trauma and loss than most of us will encounter in a lifetime. One of Abdul Rahman’s closest friends was martryed in his arms leaving a devastating memory that he will never forget. Their sister-in-law’s niece, 5-month old, Joud Shomer, was found decomposing under the rubble of her family’s house, and Abdul Rahman’s grandmother also passed away due to lack of food and access to medical care. These are just a few of the many losses the family has experienced over the past 6 months, and they have been suffering immensely.
The cost to evacuate one person is approximately $5,500. With 15 family members, the total evacuation cost reaches $82,500. The situation is constantly changing on the ground in Gaza, and if evacuation becomes impossible, monies raised will also be allocated towards securing future housing, purchasing housewares and clothing, and covering medical care and food.
The Shreim family are left with no choice but to live in the incredibly dire and dangerous conditions of Rafah where the constant threat of heavy bombardment continues. Their situation deteriorates with each passing day, exacerbated by the minimal aid permitted to cross the Gaza border. As a result, essential items such as food and basic necessities, when they are available, are incredibly expensive. Life in Gaza has become completely unlivable, and the Shreim family needs help in order to survive.
Your generosity and support can facilitate their journey to safety and give them hope for the future. I urge you to join me in supporting the Shreim family by donating today. You can also help by sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family. May God reward you for your efforts!

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! givebutter.com/mogaza
[Image description: a graphic with black text on a white and seafoam background that says the text above. There is a QR code above the link that goes to the Give Butter site. 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!
please please give as much as you can and share!

TW: Chemical w-rfare, Ab-rtion
Urgent Ask to evacuate Nara, a 🍉 disabled woman with MS who also has pancreatic cancer due to chemical w-rfare.
Support by financially contributing to her @FedUp4Palestine vetted funhnd-raizer (that I personally vetted): givebutter.com/NaraMedicalAid
+ resharing/ reposting this post!
I, Sky Cubacub- a Fed up 4 Palestine team member, have been in direct contact with Nara to get to know her and her story more over the past few days. We have become fast friends due to so many overlapping symptoms of our disabilities. Nara’s story caught my eye because I have post-viral ME/CFS which many times is a precursor to MS. I really want my disability community to show up for her to get this campaign funded that is so close to my heart so that she can continue medical treatment.
We have chatted extensively! During our chats, I found out from Nara that she had not previously had health issues until she was exposed in the white phosphorus attack in 2008. The long lasting damage and effects of phosphorus continue to compound and become more and more disabling to this day, even after 16 years.
Here is her story in her own words (edited for clarity):
“Hi I'm Nara,
I'm a cancer and multiple sclerosis patient. I need treatment, examinations, and follow-up on a regular basis, but the hospitals in which I used to follow up were bombed and the other one was turned into military barracks. All I need now is to leave Gaza for treatment, preserve my life, and live with my family in peace.
We're a family of 4, including my 12 and 7 year old children.
I had been diagnosed with a tumor in the pancreas as a result of inhaling phosphorus in a previous war. A couple years after being exposed to phosphorus, I became pregnant, and the fetus was pressing on the tumor, which drew the doctor’s attention to the cancer. My fetus was emergency aborted, and the spleen, 80% of the pancreas, and part of the small intestine were removed. I complained every now and then of a lot of pain as a result of the removal of part of the pancreas. I was having follow up care in the Turkish Friendship Hospital for hematology and tumors. But since the beginning of October, I have not been able to follow up because the hospital has turned into a military barracks.
The remaining part is talking about multiple sclerosis:
In 2018, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I had many complications, such as inflammation of the seventh nerve in the eye, the inability to walk with balance, movement with difficulty, and many symptoms. I was then required to take 12 injections every month and many medications and vitamins. I was following up at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, but unfortunately the hospital was out of service due to the war. So for a long time I have not received any injections. MS is truly difficult and it controls my life completely, and the attacks occur in many and varied ways.”
A note about her breathing apparatus:
Because people in displacement have to wait in long queues and pay to use the bathroom, Nara had started to restrict her water intake because of a UTI she never has been able to heal from. This has created a problem with raised levels of potassium, so doctors have placed her on oxygen for fear of the potassium affecting her heart.
Goals
she needs at least $15,000 to evacuate
2 adults at $5,000 each
2 children at $2,500 each
this price is subject to increase due to the cost of registration for evacuation continuing to go up
The other money will go to the cost of treatment and living costs.
Nara chooses to stay anonymous because she has had to mask her disabilities so much that only her family knows about her MS and Cancer, so we have not linked her instagram, but we are in direct contact with her and can verify that she is who she says she is! Because of this, she cannot promote her own fundraiser, so it is our job to collectively do it for her!

Introducing the Fed Up 4 Palestine Tumblr Blog!
Hi all! We have created a tumblr since our Instagram is being shadowbanned and we have been dealing with a lot of problems with Meta
Check our our website under construction

A Palestinian led non-profit organization who was founded on the principles of justice and advocacy for Palestine.
After the recent events in Gaza, we became FED UP with the injustices against the Palestinian people. Our dedicated team is committed to providing easy, safe & trustworthy ways for communities around the world to help.
We are currently all volunteer run by a very small team! our Tumblr is currently being run by a non-Palestinian volunteer who does not speak Arabic (sorry!) Sky Cubacub of @rebirthgarments. Our volunteers are all over the world (across 5 different time zones currently).
What do we do?
Watch our video to see some of the mutual aid work we are doing currently on the ground in Gaza with our partner Mazen . We are focusing on providing, food, water, formula, diapers, pads and other sanitary essentials to people in Gaza.
While our site is under construction and our foundation is new (just got our nonprofit status in the first week of March) , we have been working hard to provide relief as fast as possible, and we can’t wait to share more about what we’ve done and how you can help! For now, please consider donating to our emergency appeal for Gaza, or joining our online community to see how else you can start helping today (we are currently mostly looking for people to help who can speak and write Arabic!)
Mutual Aid workers need aid too:
If you would like to donate directly to our on the ground worker Mazen and his family for their evacuation fund go to givebutter.com/Mazen
