if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted
life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters
The Institute for Palestine Studies has just launched a comprehensive encyclopedia of Palestinian history that's interactive and informative and really fun to explore. Now is the time to be learning history, not just for other countries but for your own as well. Really recommend taking a moment to check it out, especially the chronological timeline which I've been super enjoying:
URGENT HELP 🚨
Hello dears, it's Ola, I write to you today in the most difficult circumstances I have ever faced in my life, circumstances that have become unbearable. Life has been harsh on us in ways we never expected, and we are now unable to provide for even the most basic needs, such as food, water, and everything essential for survival. Prices have skyrocketed in an unimaginable way, and we are left powerless against this harsh reality.💔
Since I started my campaign, I have placed all my hopes and dreams in it to improve my life and my family's life. I hoped we would find a helping hand, that we would feel there are people who care for us. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has helped us in the past, and to those who will support us today. You are our only hope.🥺
But today, I need you more than ever, more than any moment I've gone through. I need your help, your love, and your compassionate hearts. We are going through an incredibly tough time, and mercy only comes from hearts like yours. Please, your feeling for us is the only hope left. We have nothing but your prayers and support.
If you read my story, perhaps you would understand that it was never expected for me to be in this situation, begging for help from others. Life can be cruel at times, but there are still compassionate hearts that can light our way and change our fate.
Please, read my story, feel for me and my family, because we are truly in desperate need of your help. Please don’t abandon us, because if we don’t find hope in you, we don’t know where we will turn. I may not have many followers on my blog (due to my original blog being deleted), but I believe in you, I believe in your help, and I believe in your sharing of this post, which could change our lives. 🙏🥺
My opportunity for internet access is very limited, so please, share this message as widely as possible. Be the shadow that saves me and my family.
Please donate and share 💔
My campaign has been vetted by @90-ghost here, @northgazaupdates here, @el-shab-hussein , and @nabulsi 's spreadsheet of vetted campaigns #205.
Please help me, Please share 🙏

i just hope that no person anywhere in the world at any point in the future has to go through what mothers in gaza went through these past few months.
like it was so insane. women were giving birth without medical aid and having c-sections without anaesthesia while being malnourished and unable to properly provide food and warmth to their newborns. they couldn't produce milk and couldn't afford baby formula. hell, at a certain point finding baby formula was impossible in certain areas of gaza. and there was the constant fear of death hanging over their heads.
there were hopes that after the ceasefire things would improve for these babies and their mothers. that their quality of life would improve. but now that there are chances that israel won't continue with the ceasefire, we need to support these mothers and infants, now more than ever.
please please consider helping my friend suad, who has a little baby boy who suffers from respiratory problems. she just wants to ensure her son's well being. baby khaled is around 8 months old. her fundraiser has been verified (#279).
please help suad and her baby
I need to your donation urgently
I was living in a tent inside Al-Aqsa Hospital and my tent was bombed and burned💔💔⛺🔥🔥 and I and my children remained in the street. I do not have a tent or a mattress or anything.Not even a place for me and my children 😭😭
This is the lava of fire that fell on me and my children. My tent burned and my children burned. 💔⛺🔥⛺🔥🔥
This treatment is almost non-existent. There is no treatment and I need to buy it for my child. Its price is very expensive, about 400 dollars. 💔😭😭😭
My child burned in front of my eyes and my tent too. Imagine, my dear, your child is burning in front of you and you cannot buy him treatment. Save my child’s life. 😭😭😭💔💔
I am calling on your human conscience to help me buy medicine for my child, treat his burns, 😭🔥⛺🔥and buy a tent to shelter us from the bitter cold of winter. My children need your donations. Save what is left of the children’s lives.🥶🥶💔😭😭
Imagine, my dear, that your child does not sleep at night because of pain and hunger. My children are dying from pain and hunger. Please donate to me and my children. Please, your donation will make me happy and will save my children. Donate $20 and save my children's lives so I can buy them medicine and food.💓💓

its fucked up to see people who are around my age live through a genocide and have to market themselves as someone worthy of being saved to get people to donate to them.
it just seems so dehumanising. like is one supposed to worry about their current conditions or think up new marketing strategies.
no aid has been allowed in gaza in 70+ days. people are starving. it's so messed up to have to market oneself during all this in order to afford food.
it's heartbreaking to see young children going without proper food and nutrition.
please help @abdalsalam2000. he's around my age and has nieces and nephews who are very young. they don't deserve to go hungry. his old gofundme was deleted without any reason and he's trying very hard to advocate for his family's survival. please have heart and help him in WhatsApp way you can.

"While Israeli soldiers held up the ambulance, one soldier told Saddam’s father, 'I am the one who shot your son. God willing, he will die.' Saddam remains in the intensive care unit at Rafidia Hospital."
“I carried him in my arms, wanting to take him to the nearest vehicle or hospital or something to save his life,” Iyad continued. “When I carried him in my arms, I found that more than 20 Israeli soldiers surrounded me within moments, as some of them assaulted me with severe beatings, punches, and blows using their hands, feet, and rifle butts. I was carrying my son in my arms, and I was telling them to hit me and do whatever you want, but let me take my son for treatment.”

i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know i will see the day palestine is free and i will see her shake the dust of occupation from her heels. i know the old people and children of her history will return to their ancestral homes, their houses, their valleys, their olive groves, not to to set their roots down again because their roots have always been there, will always be there, but to grow again, bear fruit for harvest, and never be cut down again. i know palestine will be free. i grieve for palestine and dream of palestinian joy.
