Unfortunately, like so many others, my friend Laila's GoFundMe account was unjustly deleted by the site. She had been using for years to raise lifesaving funds that helped her survive the war on Gaza.
I have set up a new Chuffed account on her behalf so she and her family can continue to receive crucial support from caring people around the world. Winter in Gaza is very harsh right now, and Laila, her husband, and their two young children are currently living in the ruins of their destroyed family home, with only minimal supplies and shelter to keep the cold out.
We are Palestinians. We are exhausted. And we are still under fire. 🇵🇸💔Hello dear friends around the world 🌍, my name is Layla, I am 25 year
Please share this post, spread the new campaign widely and help it gain traction. Even small donations help a lot. You can also send donations through my Paypal, please include a note that says "for Laila".
Go to paypal.me/eanner and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

My family and my four children are living in a fragile shelter in the cold. We are trying to rent a small warm place to protect our kids. This is our real life, not a headline.
you can click once every 24 hrs to benefit UN aid organizations in Palestine. Arab.org keeps track of these benefits and publishes transparency reports every quarter at their website here. the above link goes directly to benefit Palestine, but you can also click more benefit programs from their frontpage at Arab.org.
a lot of us on tumblr are desperate to help Gaza but have absolutely nothing to offer except our attention and our worry. we don't have money to send, we don't have the ear of the public, we don't have any influence at all. this site appears to be (i say "appears to be" because ive been on the internet and just generally alive too long to ever think anything is a sure bet) a way to summon a small amount of money out of thin air and send it where it needs to go, with zero effort besides moving your mouse or your finger. i think we can all handle that much, no matter how helpless we are otherwise.
i don't like or trust NGOs as a rule, however, UNRWA, the organization aided by clicking the green link above, is despised by Israel and has been defunded by Trump twice, which in my opinion is one of the strongest indicators it is probably actually performing some useful function in Gaza.
consider setting Arab.org as your homepage in your desktop and mobile browsers to help you remember to click, and consider setting up scheduled reblogs or making your own posts with reminders.
Some of you may know that I was recently in Palestine.
While there, my resolve to do everything in my power to help only strengthened, and I came back wanting to check in on a few of the campaigns I had adopted. To my disappointment, a couple of them were frozen or reported, even though they had been tirelessly vetted and verified.
The worst part is that there are talks of a temporary ceasefire happening again, with the Rafah border crossing opening once more, and my friend Fidaa fears that after all of the hard work, she might not be able to get her two young children (a toddler and a baby) out. She is their sole provider right now.
So we have set up a temporary fundraiser for her on Chuffed, while we work to get her funds unsuspended (if we can). We have to act fast. Please know that two things are true: giving even a very small amount helps, and if you are unable to right now, spreading this campaign and getting more eyes on it helps.
The goal is $15,000 USD. We're starting this off at $285. Please help me get eyes on this.
I am Fidaa from Gaza. I am 29 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to preserve his family. I am married and a mother of two chil
You can also donate through Paypal directly. This would provide immediate access as well.

I'm so happy to say that we've finally had bread again! I'm really grateful to everyone who donated and helped me save my family. It's such a happy feeling to be able to eat good food again! 😔🙏
My name is Hanan Al-Salout, a Palestinian mother and children's counselor. I write to you today with a heart heavy with indescribable pain and sorrow, due to the loss and destruction my family has faced as a result of the war in Gaza. 💔😢
The relentless violence has taken everything from us our home, our livelihoods, and even the sense of safety we once had. I lost my job, and my husband He lost his job too is fighting with all his strength to keep our family standing amid unbearable suffering. 💔😓
But the most painful part is watching my little child, Yaseen, who is not even two years old, live in constant fear. Every day, he wakes up to the horrors of war, sheltered by a torn tent that no longer protects us from the cold, wind, or rain. Winter storms have destroyed the last bit of shelter we had, leaving us exposed to the harsh elements. We have sold everything we owned, and now all we have left are our prayers and hope that your compassionate hearts will hear our plea. 🙏💔
This war has turned into an extermination of innocent families, children, and dreams. We live each day in fear of becoming another number in the growing list of casualties. 😢
We plead with you to look upon us with mercy. Your support could be the difference between life and death for my family. 🙏🤍

Jamal Shamia, Iam a criminal lawyer, lam suffering of many diseases hypertension and diabetic mellitus and Muscle spasms and always got shocked and coma .
Unfortunately, I was injured in the war and suffered a very serious injury, which was a blood clot in the hip joint area, which caused him many infections and the infection spread in the area. is currently in Gaza, and my home was destroyed at the beginning of the war. We have lost security and peace. We have witnessed how a single rocket can destroy your entire life, both your past and your future. Our dreams have been shattered. Now the future is unknown and dark. There is no home, no basic life essentials, no job. We are now seeking to leave this country for a life abroad and to obtain security. We estimate our loss to be at least $50,000 to rebuild a home and start our lives anew.
My wife, Mufida, is 62 years old. She traveled before the war to have surgery on her eye alone, and now she is stuck on the Egyptian side. She has no breadwinner and needs many medications and medical supplies.
After that, she suffered a broken hand due to the lack of necessary care for her. I want to collect money to go to her and support her.
Rasha Jamal Shamia and her husband, Khalil Abu Samaan, have two children, Mira and Omar. They have been forced to flee their home in Gaza City and are now living in a tent in Rafah, far from everything they once knew. Their home, their children’s education, and their future—everything is gone. Their days are filled with fear, and their nights bring no rest. The constant sound of bombs haunts them, and they have no way to provide their children with the life they deserve
Ahmad Jamal Shamia resides in Gaza and is a third-year student in dental school. He lost his education due to the devastating war in Gaza. He was studying at Al-Azhar University in Gaza, and his home was destroyed in the war. He is currently suffering from moving from one temporary shelter to another. Ahmad was a diligent, ambitious, and creative student who ranked first in his class. He didn't limit himself to what he learned in university. He attended courses and workshops online with Egyptian doctors to learn more and excel in his field. He always sought excellence and worked hard for it, and he loved helping all students.He now needs money to continue his education, which will cost him a lot of money since he will complete his studies in Egypt.
