Keep Going!
Every day in Gaza is uncertain. Supposed safe zones are attacked purposefully, and seemingly systemically, with how often places with large family's are staying get attacked. entire generations of Palestinians have died and are dying in a war they could've never chosen to participate in. condemning Israel expansion, condemning Hamas extremism, condemning all the tragedy and death you see or hear about cannot be enough. But i know that when words are all you have it's hard to keep up with everything.
Which is why, when you personally cannot donate for literally any reason; spreading campaigns, talking about Palestine, asking others on behalf of someone else if they can spend a little of their time and money; can mean all the difference.
And it's people with less that have done so much more for the Palestinian people. The rich and elite showing time and time again that they do not care enough to put their luxury experiences on hold. While for the working class in all countries, time itself is money. time spent at work; time spent at work and taking care of pets or children; time spent at work and time spent at home doing even more work (example: teachers). The tax of living is always spent. And mostly ever returned in small pieces of peace and happiness. the relief or satisfaction of meeting a deadline, seeing someone smile, laughing with friends and family. All these help get back that lost time.
Helping families in Gaza, in ANY way, could NEVER be "thankless work". Because every single person who contributes has the eternal thanks from the people you're helping even just a little bit. 1 person in a sea of many is 1 person that has helped. The numbers of donations on a fundraiser aren't just numbers. they're people. It's proof of people helping people right before your eyes.
THS IS A CALL THAT YOU CANNOT LOSE HOPE. For your sake, and for Palestinians, both in Gaza and the West Bank. If you've been depressed by every set back, every tragedy, and every lost life. Let this spur you on still. Look around you at all the people on this strange website that have chosen to help. that have spread campaigns or pledged to donate later because they can't now, that can't donate but still do what they can. Look at all these people. imagine them standing before you, thousands and hundreds of people, that say they're going to try anyway. You don't have to promise you'll try your best, because that's subjective. Very few can truly know what their best is, and we keep trying anyway.
