This will be short because as much as I yap. I don't really know how to make pointed pleas for help.
if you have anything to spare, please consider sending what you can to my friend Khawla's campaign below. she is trying to raise enough money for her three children, her husband and herself to escape Gaza and find refuge in Egypt. even if the border opens, they will not be able to leave the country unless they have $5k saved each. total $25,000. it is very difficult for them to gather that money. as you know, the prices of basic necessities have gone through the roof, and all donations go to food and medicine at this point.
tumblr donations are drying up, and she is desperate to save her family. she jokes (is throwing a haha at the end a joke?) that unless someone were able to donate the full amount the moment the border opens, they still would be unable to reach safety.
please put that large dollar figure out of your mind when you consider that every penny helps keep this young family alive. anything you can do she would very much appreciate and so would her husband and 3 young children.
all i ask is for you to consider: do you need to buy yourself that treat today? or does little Ghazal need her special lactose free milk?
