posting this on behalf of ahmad al-turk, a palestinian law student who i'm mutuals with on twitter.
he and his family are currently camped out in rafah amdist daily bombardment. ahmad and his siblings have gone thru great lengths to raise awareness for their family's evacuation effort, from sharing daily snippets of their lives, to resharing their campaign every day, to organizing a group chat to keep their supporters updated.
shortly after joining the group i helped ahmad set up a tumblr account. he reiterated his story on the platform and you can still read the post here, but his blog was terminated the next day.
this, to me, was far too unfair and i became determined to help ahmad in any way i can. i am humbly asking folks to donate to the al-turks' campaign. at least 5 euros from everyone who sees this would greatly add up. it would mean a lot to me, and especially to ahmad, who is hoping to wake up to some good news tomorrow:
i am also taking art commissions for the cause, i have two options available: one where i dress a character in a famous musician's costume, and one where i draw a character in the palestine flag colors.
please don't let him down.

[REPOST] A small Gaza evacuation masterlist
Hey guys! Since I've been getting more boosting requests on Twitter I decided to remake my Gaza evacuation Gofundme list in a slightly more condensed format. I've been encouraging progress on Twitter as requested, but I decided to share them all here too, since this is where I have a larger following.
Below is a link to each campaign, a small summary of its goals, and the donation progress at the time making this new post. (I encourage you to read the ones with the progress in bold first, since their momentum is slower.) I'll also share the individuals' Twitter pages so you can see the names and faces that match the ones in the campaigns, as a means to verify.

hey everyone, got another side update for the evacuation masterpost i wrote. Noor put out what she calls her "final plea" for help; she was aiming for at least 25000 CAD to save her family, but is still over 6k away from that milestone:
seeing as Noor reached out to me personally (among others) to spread her message, it would mean a lot to me if more folks pitched in. it would be all the more meaningful to this family. i believe we can get her out of here

some people forget that rain did some awfully questionable things to six, only for six to repeat those same actions and get demonized for it
