Hello all

Contrary to the indications certain US reports, famine conditions remain in north Gaza due to the occupation’s unrelenting blockade. The scarcity of food has caused food prices to skyrocket, and it is unaffordable for the vast majority of people. Famine is a catastrophe in and of itself. But with winter fast approaching, it is compounded by another looming threat: hypothermia.

There is a long history of study on the relationship between malnutrition and hypothermia, particularly in children. Research shows that as a child’s body enters a state of starvation, the body slows down its functions and decreases its temperature to conserve energy. This can lead to hypothermia in young, malnourished children, even in mild climates.

Baby Ayla is one of thousands of children born into an invaded Gaza. Her young life has been marked by homelessness and hunger. Now her first winter is approaching. Ayla was not yet born for most of the previous winter, and she has had no exposure to the kind of cold, raw conditions that are incoming.

Ayla lives in a flimsy, drafty tent, leaving her exposed to harsh weather. She needs support in order to survive the winter. Warm clothing and winter gear are important steps toward this goal. However, she also needs nutritious food in order to fortify her body against the cold. If Ayla is not able to have baby formula and food, her risk for hypothermia will be compounded.

You can help give Ayla a fighting chance by supporting her mother Bashaer so that she can buy precious food. Not only will this help protect Ayla from starvation, it will also help her be strong enough to resist the coming cold weather. Please give her mother hope that they will survive this.

Thank you❤️

yeah I will never get over that fact that there's so much to see in this world and yet I'm stuck working 5 days a week, evil evil life

"What happens is that it doesn't stop seeming laughable and surprising to me to donate seven hours of my day, to donate them like this, knowing that death exists, and many beautiful things exist, and many terrible things too, and working like this, like nothing is wrong, like you don't come to earth for a very brief time"

—Letters to León Ostrov, Alejandra Pizarnik

🚨 🚨Urgent Appeal 🚨🚨

My name is Jaber Al-Haj, a graduate with honors in Applied Chemistry. I currently reside in Kuwait, but my heart and thoughts are constantly with my family, who remain in Gaza amidst the ongoing war and devastation. My wife, Muna, and our 2-year-old son, Hashem, live under the constant threat of violence and uncertainty. Every day, I worry about their safety and well-being, and my greatest wish is to bring them to Kuwait, where they can find peace, security, and a fresh start.

After graduating, I started a small cleaning products business in Gaza with my brother, Aboud. We built a modest lab from scratch, and over time, it became a stable source of income for our family. We dreamed of expanding and creating more opportunities, but our hopes were shattered when relentless airstrikes destroyed everything we had built, reducing our lab and future to rubble.

The war didn’t just take away our business; it also separated me from my family. It has been over a year since I’ve seen my wife and child in person. Unable to travel back to Gaza, I feel helpless being so far away from them during these difficult times. Despite all my efforts, it has been equally challenging to bring them to Kuwait, where I could offer them the safety and stability they so desperately need.

The Goal of This Campaign:

I am aiming to raise $29,000 to help bring my wife, Muna, and our son, Hashem, from Gaza to Kuwait, reuniting us and ensuring their safety far from the dangers of war. The funds will also help me rebuild our business in Gaza with my brother, Aboud, by securing a new location, purchasing equipment, and restarting production—giving us a chance to restore our livelihoods and hope for the future

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for standing with us during this challenging time.

Warm regards, Jaber Al-Haj

zero donations in six hours... my dear friend @monashehab2 cannot continue like this. her tents are torn and replacements are cruelly expensive, even more so when she must compete daily with inhumane food prices to provide for her family. please, if you can afford to give anything at the moment i beg you to support mona and her young children.

My friend Nader is a 17 years old Palestinian boy who has been campaigning tirelessly for months now in order to evacuate his whole family from Gaza.

When I first started chatting with him, his campaign, which has a total goal of €50,000, was at a bit above €5,000 at the time, about a month ago.

Thanks primarily to this sweet boy's daily efforts and the help he's received from some Tumblr users, we've managed to get his fundraiser to 62% of its total goal!!!!

With that in mind, if everyone who's donated a relatively small amount would donate a similar amount again as I did, we could SO easily take him very near his goal!!

His campaign is verified. It's the 4th campaign in this spreadsheet.

If we reach this €50,000 goal, we'd be saving not just Nad, but several young children, his father Ahmed who's a cancer patient, and many others. Reminder too that an uncle of his was martyred very recently. Anything can happen at any moment, and he gets very disheartened whenever donations decrease. We need to get them all out of Gaza as soon as possible.

His little niece is suffering from malnutrition, and every day when Nad and I resume chatting again he tells me how exhausted he is. I'm very worried for him and his family, as there's people dying of starvation all around him and him and his family aren't doing well. His family has already been displaced NINE times!!

Let's give Nad a chance to follow his dreams of going to university. Let's give his very small siblings a chance to know of a life free of bombings and shootings. Let's give his father the opportunity to deal with his cancer with dignity and an actual fighting chance.

Tagging for reach:

refraining from a lot of election joke posting and instead I just donated $55 USD to gaza soup kitchen and i encourage anyone else to consider donating even a couple of dollars to the people who will be affected the most from whatever outcome happens

!!Please don’t skip 🙏

I’m mohammed from Gaza 🍉🇵🇸….. I need your help if you can.

We used to live a safe life full of joy and prosperity. We worked hard without any slacking during the past 5 years.

I graduated from the Gaza Community Training College, majoring in mechanical engineering, but there were no job opportunities, so I resorted to looking for new ways of working. I worked as a taxi driver to provide the basic necessities of life, such as food, drink and shelter. We started building our new house a very short time before the war, and it seems that we have become without anything.

Unfortunately, there are still large financial payments that have not been paid yet, approximately ten thousand dollars.

It is very difficult to say that we have lost everything, it is like a recurring nightmare that we live every day, we have lost our beautiful and peaceful life and our warm and safe home, our dreams of a bright future have been shattered.

We were forced to evacuate our home after the army bombed the house adjacent to our home in Jabalia neighborhood and our home was severely damaged to the point that it was no longer habitable.

Every donation will greatly affect our ability to deal with these enormous challenges, and provide basic necessities such as food, drink, clothing and treatment in particular.

God Bless You

I just have earrings and am not planning on getting more, but what about you? Are you happy with the amount of piercings you have or would you like more? Tell all in the tags

And while you're here, please share and donate if you can to help out a woman widowed by genocide and her 2 small children. Winter makes everything more dangerous and expensive.

For more than a year this has been the news; everytime I am to write a post for a family, I go online and this is all I get to see. Nothing has changed in all this time. The occupation forces still bomb schools without any repercussions- they murder hundreds of people-they lay down seige-they allow no aid to pass through and terrified Gazans remain at a loss as to what to do and how to survive.

So nothing changed and nothing got better, rather things are worse now than they were in October 2023. As it stands, the whole of Gaza strip has been bombed multiple times, causing people to be displaced over and over again and lose precious resources like clothes and shoes. I cannot stress how important these resources are when children have to live out in the open sand and when people have to travel long miles to either get a connection or food. My friend Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj2024z ) has been displaced SEVEN times and 2 months ago his extended family was displaced when the occupation forces closed in on their camp. With the onslaught of winter Siraj has to provide all of his family members with winter clothes and shoes that they have gradually lost when they were forced to flee. He has to provide for TWENTY FOUR people. Currently your donations have helped Siraj to rent a shelter for 10 of his most vulnerable family members but this means that 14 others, including Siraj himself is still living in tents! He is so cold and so are his sons. The nights are terrible and the tent which went through the wear and tear of the weather for the better part of this year, is barely any protection at all.

So please, please donate to Siraj. He wants nothing expensive, he has said that he will buy the cheapest winter clothes that are available in the market. But please we must raise at least 3k for Siraj ASAP. He has received no donations for over 12 hours and is currently stuck at $93,426 CAD

Vetting #219

Once again, please remember that things are going to be much more difficult during this winter of 2024. The hospitals have been bombed all throughout the Gaza strip, making it difficult to seek treatment for even basic ailments. There are barely any shelters left standing where people might be able to retire to, to escape the winter cold and fuel to warm up is a luxury. Also the IOF has routinely attacked camps, after which people were forced to leave behind precious life saving items which were either destroyed or looted. So do not let Siraj down now, when there is an uncertain time ahead.

$232 CAD / $167 USD away from 95k.

In 11 hours today, Siraj received only 2 donations and we have failed to reach $95,000 CAD once again. I am not sure what is happening, but I can promise you that your donation would help a family survive through the winter. Inflation is tremendously high in Gaza, so what might seem enough to you to last a family for months, is often not the case when every other week there is a price hike due to dwindling resources. So please donate and boost.

If you need incentives to donate, then @esrah-rah-rasputin is offering art for various verified campaigns, one of which is Siraj's (x). For a donation of $5-$10 USD you can get gorgeous arts such as these

And for a higher price of $20-$50 USD you get art commissions such as these:

So please donate!!

PayPal has fired employees after they have sent a letter to management about Zionists groupchats!

As you may know, the crowdfunding platform has shut down fundraising services on October 7th, a year into the accelerated genocide. No one can create a fundraiser for themselves, and those who have an existing one have to finish raising funds before January 12th, 2025.

Now, a former employee has stepped forward and revealed the fact that they have been terminated on Twitter. They have also shed light on the fundraising situation that are made for Palestinians.

Knowing this information, a letter has been sent to management, but of course, they have been fired.

Iyad Sohbe (@iyadsohbegaza) and Ruba Abushaban (@rubashsblog) are my friends from Ghazzah who are raising funds with PayPal after GFM deletes their fundraiser or suspends their account. Iyad has lost 11K while Ruba loses access to 27K!

We have LESS THAN 3 MONTHS help them raise the amount - 60K - but donations would either trickle in little by little, or stop completely. We can't afford to do that. We need to raise $600 USD per DAY, but we are getting less than $100 USD!

So I don't understand why people are failing to see the urgency or why they are waiting for someone to do it in their stead. Especially when you can give a DOLLAR. It is more than enough. So please donate and share. We are running out of time, and we are at risk at deletion once again! ! !

Rememebr: this is all for Iyad and Ruba and their families. Iyad is diabetic, needs medication, and he has 5 young children aged 5, 7, 10, 13, and 14. Ruba sustains a stomach injury from a displacement and has been hospitalized. They are in Nuseirat, an area that is prone to IOF's increased violence!

You can match me! I've given $10 USD! You can also participate in an art raffle hosted by @/heliopixels if you show your proof of donation and are a fan of Transformer! You can also partake in other art and writing commissions if you click on 'Keep Reading'!

Verification: #90 for Ruba and #173 for Iyad in the Spreadsheet. (Keep in mind that the document has not been updated and does not reflect the current fundraiser. You can learn about it here.)

KEEP THE DONATIONS COMING PLEASE!

We're doing a $10 donation match that is ongoing! If you can to contribute as well, PLEASE DO, they almost went a FULL day with no donations and they can't afford that! We can't allow that!

Please donate!

$248 until the urgent short term goal of $16.6k. It's taking them days to get $600 which should be the daily amount! This is more than urgent!

No changes in four hours. Their campaign has been going agonizingly slow.

We are trying to push it back into the gear but the amount of donations they received can't even match a minimum wage in US. They've earn $5.6 per hour. You need to imagine they earn less than six dollars per hour for 15 of them in total, under the price inflation of the war.

We can't allow for the fundraiser to continue at this pace! At least consider donation matching of 10$, less or more, as long as they receive anything! It's an urgent matter!

$16.382 - $16.600<-URGENT GOAL!

today, I want everyone who has any kind of GI troubles to take a moment to think of Hala's adorable young son Abdul-Aziz. shortly after he was born, Abdul-Aziz was diagnosed with hirschsprung's disease. hirschsprung's disease is a congenital disorder in which the nerves in the large intestine do not form properly. This means that the colon cannot move, and Abdul-Aziz cannot pass his waste. This caused an intestinal blockage and severe swelling in his abdomen.

hearing Hala's story, I recognized the son of a family friend, who also has hirschsprung's disease. because he was able to get treatment early, he is a happy third grade boy who loves playing with toy airplanes and legos, and sings in his school choir. i wish the same happiness for Abdul-Aziz.

Abdul-Aziz is not even a year old, but he has had multiple surgeries on his bowels. Hala is raising funds for her son to get two more surgeries, to remove the affected part of his colon so that he does not have any more blockages. Here are some pictures of this precious baby boy.

i know that many of us do not have much extra cash, but please, donate what you can to Hala's gofundme for her son. You can find her blog @hala-15, where she has posted photos of Abdul-Aziz's medical records in both english and arabic. Her story has been further verified by @90-ghost

Her gofundme is linked here. IT IS LESS THAN 1% FUNDED. clearly this is not acceptable. please, if you support people with chronic illnesses or suffer from chronic GI illness yourself, spare whatever you can for Abdul Aziz

since this was posted we’ve raised 15 euro for Hala and Abdul Aziz. I know there are people out there who can double that!

i don’t have a caption for you right now. please do not abandon this family.

bombed while securing border papers for his family. his wife with terminal cancer is left alone with his children right now, terrified out of her mind and messaging me. this fundraiser is their only life line. please.

I feel like these rolls of wire are like that bubble gum tape but for robots and other electronic characters.

robutt, guts out

The Voyager 1 has regained contact with the Earth after temporarily switching off its X-Band radio to conserve power in interstellar space. It switched to its S-Band back-up radio, which hasn't been used since 1981, in an attempt to still contact NASA. It is estimated that some time around 2025 the twin Voyager probes will no longer be able to use their scientific instruments.

Donations needed urgently

My family and I are halfway to our goal, and we need as much help as we can get!

This donation was verified by @gazavetters , and is number 43 in the spreadsheet.

We don't ask for much, just 10€ should be enough!

By donating, you are not only helping me, you are saving me and my family.

We have managed to raise 26,000€ since the beginning of our campaign thanks to you, and like any other Palestinian fighting for his life against the oppressors, I do not wish for us to surrender to the murderous regime. Please, together we can raise enough to afford basic necessities and also to enable us to escape through the border crossing, once it opens.

Note:the above art is the work of artist @catnapdreams thank you for this beautiful drawing ♥️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
