mohammed has asked me to make a new post to support his campaign. this is a campaign that 27 extended family members must live off. mohammed's sister is pregnant and malnourished, and needs a daily heparin injection that the family are struggling to cover with how slow the donations have been. additionally, multiple other family members are suffering severe burns, respiratory & skin infections, a bullet wound, and other injuries. with rumours that rafah will reopen soon, mohammed wants to get his most vulnerable family members evacuated, but the campaign is moving so slowly they're not even covering minimum daily expenses right now. they're verified here.

we are praying that this can be the final fundraising push before my dear friend mohamed's family is safely evacuated. until then, their survival hangs in the balance. if you have ever considered donating to the al manasra campaign but hesitated or forgot, now is the right time.

the Al Manasra family is vetted #192 here by El-Shab Hussein and Nablusi.

mohamed’s Tumblr page is @save-mohamed-family here is a post about their current goal that links to an additional FAQ you can alternatively donate to Mohamed’s still-active GOFUNDME page if you have an issue with Chuffed:

mohamed has been too sick to keep up with his family’s campaign due to the severe weather coming down on the encampment he shelters in with his three young children. all of his faith is in this fundraiser to assist him in covering any of the medical bills he will be hit with the moment he’s finally safe from bombing. since mohamed cannot legally work in egypt, this is quite literally his life line. please don’t forget about the al manasra family. @save-mohamed-family

gaza is currently being forced into a communications blackout due to deliberate fuel restrictions by the zionist occupation. can you please not forget my friend @save-mohamed-family while he is forced into darkness?

fuck this life of wonder and it doesnt help im curious as fuck😭

seeing someone post song lyrics when you haven’t heard the song always feels like this:

“the wheels on the bus go round and round….”

I'm about to lose my housing. I don't have a plan B.

Now is really a time where I need help or I will die from my condition.

Here is a link, we are at 18% of the goal :

Sera and I have worked very hard and gotten very lucky trying to plan and prepare for this for months, but the reality of the Canadian housing crisis and international travel restrictions has severely limited the options. It’s becoming very likely we may have to use a portion of her medical funds to keep her warm this winter, and that’s a bitter pill that can really only be made easier to swallow by more donations. If you can, please please help save my friend, she is incredibly kind and creative and brave and she deserves to survive this!!!
