I feel like I’ve done all I can do here

I hope people continue to donate to my friends Dina and Ghazal and Ahmed and Alaa and Marah, but I don’t think I can keep doing this, sorry.

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

ppl are still reblogging this but donations have stopped again. please please continue helping.

£26,382 / £30,000 short term goal. We need £618 more to reach 27k, and £118 more to reach 26.5k. Let’s get to at least 26.5k in the next few hours

This is so fucking insane North Gaza is literally being exterminated as we speak and we have people online debating it like it’s just some far off issue they can lament but ultimately just shrug their shoulders at…. I am actually disgusted to my core & tired of people addressing this casually when the entire healthcare system in North Gaza has collapsed and everyone’s getting wiped out with disease if not starvation. I have no interest in anyone debating me on this I think it’s so fucked up to even think there’s anything worth debating anymore

Never stoop so low as to play genocider’s advocate to me when the Biden-Harris administration funded 73% of Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestine and I am watching an Arab country being demolished in real time. I have no fucking interest in what you have to say you disgust me actually

Anyone who’s still behaving this way is a lost cause and I am tired of wasting energy on it. Please donate to Ayesh’s fundraiser he is literally doing God’s work by contacting and verifying Palestinian families from where he is in Gaza, all while being subjected to the same dangers and ailments as them. People say not to guilt trip but this would not be a problem if there was more of a sense of community on here. We joke about Tumblr being a wasteland all the time but there are millions of people on this site daily with nothing to show for it and that deserves to be called out. Please donate any amount you can and share this to help Ayesh out. Turning the other cheek is wrong. Please do what you can

despite the notes Mohammed’s family has only received £5 in the past 2 hours!! we need to help them raise £1,005 ASAP to reach 25k, their short term goal! all of the funds would be used to find secure shelter and food, as the bombardments increase in intensity and damage in the coming days

due to his work as search and rescue, Mohammed has been exposed to large quantities of smoke in the past few days of escalated bombardment. He’s experiencing painful lung spasms and coughing fits but despite all this remains to be in the field. The hospital at Deir al-Balah in central Gaza halted operations due to the amount of damage it suffered from iof air strikes yesterday, making Mohammed’s job more difficult. let’s help keep Mohammed’s family safe!!!!

Senators are going to vote on whether or not we should continue to send aid to Israel on Wednesday, November 13th. Call them, bombard their phone lines with calls. Every fucking day. We have a chance of doing something about this.

Talking points script copied from link. The senate vote takes place November 13, so please call (202) 224 3121 and ask to be connected with your senator as frequently as possible if in the U.S. before then

or, contact your senators directly using this link. search state -> click contact under senator's name, the phone number should appear

Interesting how there always seems to be a lot of "I'm going to move to another country" money but never any "I'm going to fund a vulnerable person's move to another country" money.

Emigrating typically costs thousands of dollars. Those who will be most vulnerable in the coming years are the people with the least means to flee. Many disabled people cannot emigrate, nor can those who are caregivers to someone disabled.

Also, hey, it just kind of feels shitty to see people saying "if it sucks hit da bricks" about a shared struggle.

hey guys i've been assigned four days of back to back 12 hour shifts this week that i must show up for despite my deteriorating health and the whole time i was just thinking about Mohammed (@ayeshjourney). for those who still don't know, Mohammed Ayesh is the ONLY active vetter (@gaza-evacuation-funds) we have on tumblr at the moment, and he actively meets with, talks to, and verifies families in need in the midst of ever-escalating iof attacks.

it is a little known fact that Mohammed's day job is in health care. other than the small moments when there are no catastrophic bombardments when he could find internet and verify families' campaigns for us, he is transporting wounded and martyred Palestinians every single day and night. in an active war zone.

there hasn't been donations to Mohammed in almost 4 hours. this is incredibly scary, especially since the iof announced another round of systematic raids on central Gaza, where Mohammed works and where his family lives, just today.

from one health care worker to another, from one countryman who fears for the future of his country, who strives to do the best he can for his fellow compatriots, please. donate whatever you can spare. my humble request is that we can help Mohammed's family get to 25k by the end of week.

still in the OR myself. Mohammed is saving the wounded in an active war zone as you read this message. it is his duty to drive towards gun fire and explosions when most families are fleeing for their lives

only 5 donations in the past 6 hours. no donations for the past hour. please we have to help Mohammed’s family more than this. £22,023 / £25,000 weekly goal. £2,977 more to raise we can help this family if we work together

calling on people who have literally a few pounds to spare. Mohammed’s family raised barely over £100 today, with hours of no donations in between even with taglists in the past 24 hours. please please don’t let his campaign stagnate.

genuinely what does it take for y’all to give a shit. Mohammed Ayesh works daily in the line of fire transporting injured Palestinians from their bombed tents to the nearest hospitals for treatment. Then he walks for miles sometimes to talk to and verify Palestinian families’ campaigns when he’s off work. This has been his reality for the past few months.

We’ve only raised a bit over £100 today. This is shameful. There was literally a tank that stopped right next to where Mohammed and his family were hiding this morning (including his kid brother, whose eardrums burst a decade ago when he was an infant under constant iof bombardment).

I’m asking you all to give a shit. If you have money to buy a morning cup of americano you can donate at least £5 to Mohammed so he can relocate his family and keep doing his work on and offline.

hey guys I just got off a 12 hour hospital shift. the whole day I’ve been nauseous from a pressing migraine and an ache in my left knee. and I could not keep thinking about Mohammed.

Mohammed has been transporting wounded Palestinians to treatment from their bombed tents to field hospitals for the past year. on top of that he’s also been vetting and promoting hundreds of Palestinian families’ fundraisers and neglecting to promote his own.

please please don’t let his campaign stagnate anymore. in the past few days donations have been alarmingly slow. We need £100 to reach 18k, please help Mohammed get closer to 20k, his next short term goal. Please help him get to 18k in the next few hours we are so so close. If 10 people donated £10, the cost of a meal this would be achievable

If you have voted Harris today,

You have a fundamental moral obligation to donate a sum totaling 10$ to the following 3 fundraisers, all of which belong to people who have lost loved ones and in some cases their entire families due to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' actions.

Hossam Bardaweel -> entire direct family members dead.

Hazem Mohammed Al-Bardaweel -> entire direct family members dead.

Nemr Matar -> infant died.

These are people whose situations you will never understand. Have some basic decency and respect and don't make this about yourself or your guilt or anything about you. Don't even say you donated. This is about the people who will continue to lose everything as long as American empire persists. Any comments will be deleted.

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit tired to see the constant argument that people on Tumblr do not have money to donate anymore . We're getting into the Christmas season, with people buying gifts and preparing for Black Friday yet no one can spare to give $5 to a fundraiser ?

I'm always thinking about what the team @/gazafunds posted on twitter, about how they started packing their own lunch and giving up on many things to be able to donate to fundraisers, on top of working endlessly to verify campaigns, making an managing their website etc. Why do the people most affected by the genocide are the one making the most sacrifices ? Even if you are not Arab and/or Palestinian, shouldn't you feel horrified all the same by an ethnic cleansing?

No one is asking for Tumblr users to stop their life and never buy anything ever again, but I find it very concerning to see Palestinian work to the bone to vet and support fundraisers while most people just don't care and reblog "free Palestine" posts without doing anything substantial.

It's not too late to help though. Many people would benefit from getting help, one of them being Shahed (@shahdhatem) for who donations are getting even more scarce. She's one of the kind souls who spent her time during the last year supporting other victims of genocide by treating injuries, distributing food and teaching children who couldn't go to school anymore. Please consider helping her and her family get through these horrors by donating .

hi everyone, your donations so far have helped mohammed (verified)

moving forward, he still needs

these donations get wired in to gaza in batches, so please understand they make a very tangible difference for the iwais family on a day-to-day basis. we're very lucky that, from all around the world, we can actually help them head off looming emergencies -- like the cold weather that's currently setting in!

donate here; donors can also enter an art print raffle here.

10 USD = 103 SEK

let's get them to their next goal of 750,000 SEK by the end of next week!

701,760 / 750,000 SEK, let's keep this campaign circulating! only 1 donation in the last 2 hours!

there's been less than $6 usd donated in the last 2 hours. Please share and donate if you can, and remember that $10 usd = 103 sek

i've recently noticed a pattern that i'm not sure that i like. we have hundreds of fundraisers circulating on this site. many of them go without donations for days/weeks. if any fundraiser receives donations, its because the posts stand out/ something very tragic has happened to someone in the family.

for example, the nineteen year old, Shaban Al-Dalou, who was burnt alive a few days ago had a fundraiser. the family only reached their goal after losing that poor boy. i cannot understand why couldn't we have helped him before? i dont know how the family will cope with his loss.

so ask yourself, is genocide not a simple enough reason to donate? or do you need the family to be hit with a tragedy to even consider donating? everyone, i mean EVERYONE in gaza has experienced unimaginable loss and pain and destruction. they've lost their homes, livlihood, friends and family.

humanity has existed for so long because we care. we love each other and are hurt to see others' suffering.

you don't have to wait for tragedy to strike someone to donate. they are going through starvation, forced displacement, and mass murder. please care about this.

do not decrease the meaning of the word genocide. it breaks my heart to see the suffering of the people of gaza at the hands of their colonizers.

I've just got one thing left to say, save my friend mahmoud and his family. they deserve to live just like everyone. help him secure a better future for his family.

[ @mahmoudjumaa1238 ]

517 euros left to reach 90% of his goal! Please keep supporting him, he needs your help more than ever.

I would like to verify something, please answer the poll if you can!

I've noticed that donations tend to come during the hours when European are usually asleep. It really feels like there's a lack of participation in campaign around Western Europe's evening, which makes me think maybe less people are donating here.

If you have not donated and would like to contribute to a Palestinian campaign, please consider donating to my friend (@shahdhatem). She has been taking care of her siblings and parents all the while helping other people with medical aid, food distribution and teaching children. She is currently sick and her area was severely bombed yesterday, I can't stress how much danger she is in right now.

me, i find most of what i need on anna's archive and get the rest through my university library.

my friends marah @freepaleatine95 and ola @olagaza have a lot more trouble finding books these days. both of them have had their studies interrupted this past year, and they need our help now!

the iof targets schools and universities in its genocidal campaign to eradicate palestinian culture, institutions, and above all the palestinian people themselves.

can you help marah and ola today?

As of right now there have been 53,478,227 boops on tumblr. If this was the amount of clicks on arab.org it would be $596.86 USD raised for Palestine.

Obviously I’m not daft enough to believe that 53,478,227 individual people have used the boop function, and it is actually less people who have used it multiple times, but there are still over 100 million active tumblr users as of September so statistically speaking that amount of boops most likely came from at the VERY least 100,000+ individual people, but it’s most likely a much higher number.

If these hypothetical 100,000 tumblr users each donated ONE SINGLE UNITED STATES DOLLAR to a gofundme, my friends Dina, Ghazal, Marah, and Ahmed would all be able to reach their goal today.

All of this is truly just to say, I know almost all of have $1 to spare today, and you all are allowing this booping nonsense to fill your dash right now instead of fundraisers from families undergoing genocide.

Hi everyone, I've been planning on making a series of videos like the above on Instagram and Tiktok to help make content that will boost @mohamedmoner1994 and his wife Rewaa's fundraiser. I plan on making some for @yousefmoner's fundraiser as well.

I haven't been on here much because if you've seen my posts on my blog, things have been kind of hard in my personal life lately, and me and my family are currently trying to recover from the recent typhoon that devastated our region. So, I don't know if I can promote fundraisers much here on tumblr aside from reblogging, but I am still trying my best to help promote Mohamed and Yousef's campaign on other platforms. Layla, their organizer, has said that what's important is to make constant content and updates and make sure not to let a long time pass that people would start overlooking Mohamed and Yousef's campaign, so I thought this project might help with that somewhat.

So on that note, aside from reblogging this post, can I also ask you, if you have accounts on Tiktok and Instagram, to please like, comment, save, and maybe share on your stories this reel that I posted yesterday?

Link on Instagram

Link on Tiktok

And while you're on both these apps, please do follow the family's accounts and interact with the first few posts or the pinned posts on their grid:

Mohamed's Insta

Yousef's Insta

Rewaa's Insta

Karam's Insta

Laylay's Insta

----

Mohamed's Tiktok

Yousef's Tiktok

Karam's Tiktok

Layla's Tiktok

Please do take a little time from your day to give these accounts some engagement. If you are unable to donate, this is another way you can help aside from reblogging here on tumblr. Layla says that only the same people have been donating to their fundraisers and she has to beg every single one of them for just a few dollars. Help me bring more eyes to their campaigns.

You can also join me in my 1000 cranes project so that more content will be made that will promote their fundraisers.

(I will put on a separate post after this one the updates to the goals for each of these campaigns. Please help me reblog that one as well)

I swear something goes wrong with the heating in this apartment every year I've lived in it 🙄 someone is coming to fix it in a couple days but until then it's between 50 & 60 (10 & 15C) degrees inside which is ever so slightly miserable on my joints

girl I have reynaud's syndrome I can't live like this 😭😭😭

of course I have someone coming to repair the heating, and also "heating," and also "walls" and things. Mohammed, Samar & their children don't, and at this rate there's no way they'll be able to buy the space heater (for which they've already purchased a battery!) that they need before winter sets in. these children have been desperately, miserably sick in a way that a grown adult couldn't bear.

Venmo: gothhabiba

all with note "🍓" or "strawberry"

my heating is back on!!

please do for Mohammed and Samar what the repairman has done for me 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
