I don’t know what to say… i know the fundraising landscape has changed rapidly ever since this october, since we’ve hit the one year mark of the u.s.-funded Palestinian genocide, since the u.s. election, but it still feels like a slap to the face to see Mohammed Ayesh’s fundraiser (@ayeshjourney) stagnate like this, especially since he dedicated months of his life to traveling to where families are to talk with them and verify them face to face.

Mohammed has stopped being online as much for health reasons (chronic lung spasms and more from his health care work) but also because he feels as if he is speaking to an uncaring crowd. People who have once promised him they will check in and boost his fundraiser has stopped responding, and so he withdrew because he did not want to be a burden.

I want to ask you all for your help. A few campaigns are doing exceptionally well because they are boosted daily by blogs with huge followings. Many families like Ayesh’s do not have this privilege.

Only 1 donation in almost 4 hours. Mohammed asked if we could help him get to 30k (halfway of his 60k campaign) soon, let’s rally behind him.

£25,055 / £30,000 short term goal still. There’s still £4,945 that we need to raise ASAP towards this goal

£5 raised in the past 2 hours. £345 more needed urgently for daily survival and emergency displacement funds as Central Gaza continues to be bombarded at an alarming rate

please think of the disabled people of gaza. please think of the diabetic people of gaza. please think of the neurodivergent people of gaza. please think of those whose lives are relying on medicine that has either stopped coming in due to the blockade, or is available in such scarcity that its price has skyrocketed.

we're approaching winter. on top of the challenge of securing waterproof tents and sufficiently warm clothing, some diabetic people in gaza have stopped taking their insulin as they can no longer afford it. those who are able to acquire it for now know every shot may be their last.

mohammed @ahmed0khalil, only 19, has been injured with shrapnel in his leg.

his father is diabetic.

one of his younger siblings is blind, and another is autistic.

imagine that kind of pressure during a genocide.

the least we can do is shoulder some of the financial burden. don't forget about the disabled people of gaza.
