Hello, my name is Lama, and I am from Gaza City, specifically in the northern Gaza Strip. I grew up in a loving family of resilience and hope, with my parents working tirelessly to provide us with a life of dignity and opportunity. My father was our steadfast provider, and my mother was the heart of our home. I have two brothers and three sisters, the youngest of whom is just six months old. She is frail and often sick due to the lack of proper food and medicine. My siblings and I have shared dreams of education, careers and a bright future. But life in Gaza is marked by hardship, and when the war began, everything we had built was shattered. My older brother, a kind and a courageous soul, was martyred while trying to secure basic necessities for our survival, my younger sister was gravely injured, and the cost of her treatment weighs more than the universe to us, now the responsibility for my family has fallen on my shoulders.

Our home, once filled with warmth, laughter and memories, has been reduced to rubble. We have been displaced more than thirty times from place to a place with nothing but the clothes on our backs. Each time we returned, we found more destruction, we always clung to the hope of rebuilding, but in the last attack, our home was completely destroyed, we are now homeless, living in unsafe conditions with no shelter to protect us from the cold nights. The loss of our home is not just the loss of a building, it’s the loss of safety, stability, and the place where our dreams were nurtured.
With my father unemployed since the beginning of the war, we have no income to provide even the most basic necessities. Water, food, medicine, warm clothes and blankets-things that many take for granted-are beyond our reach. Every day is a battle for survival, and every night is a reminder of the dangers and struggles we face. I am determined to care for family and give my younger brothers and sisters a chance to grow up with hope. But I cannot do it alone.
I am reaching out to you with a plea for compassion and action. Your support can help us rebuild our lives, restore hope, and secure a future where my family can live in peace and safety. Every donation, no matter how small brings us closer to survival and dignity. Please for the sake of god and humanity, help us in this time of desperate need.

Hello friends, I am Abdullah Salem Abdullah Jaafar, 26 years old, a graduate of the University College with a degree in Information Technology - Multimedia. I used to have a beautiful family; I’m married and have four children, and my wife is pregnant.
I previously worked at a multimedia company, but because of the war, I lost my job, my home, my car, and now I have no place to live or work.
During the war, we were forced to evacuate more than four times. Each time, we had to leave everything behind without taking any of our personal belongings.
I live in northern Gaza.
We were displaced to southern Gaza, then to Deir al-Balah, then to Rafah, and now we live in an uninhabitable tent that is not suitable for living.
My daughter Rahaf was martyred in the war due to Israeli airstrikes. Now I have Iman, Malak, Basel, and my wife is in her seventh month of pregnancy.
Please, I am in desperate need of your help just to provide food and water for my children.

Please don t’ skip🇵🇸👶🏻
I am Manal from Gaza, 31 years old. My family and I are living in extremely difficult circumstances after the war on Gaza. We were displaced from our home and live in a tent that does not protect us from the heat of the summer or the cold of the winter. I suffer from extreme poverty because of these circumstances; we have nothing. We are no longer able to provide basic necessities such as food, drink, and other things due to the exorbitant rise in prices. Thus, our sources of livelihood have been destroyed, and we live in extremely difficult conditions in tents. Words cannot describe what we face daily in the tents without food, medicine, or clean drinking water, in addition to the stress, helplessness, psychological pressure, and daily trauma caused by everything around us. We work to care for our families, so that we do not leave them vulnerable to danger, illness, and death.
Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and I humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my little girl, by getting us out of Gaza to Egypt and building a new life outside Gaza or helping us get money to buy the necessities we might be able to afford. Asking for help is not easy, but we had no choice because we want to survive and strive to rebuild our shattered lives. We are very grateful for any help you can offer, no matter how small, because your help will go a long way in alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.
if you have a moment, please consider giving some attention to my friend Nader ( @nader202-3 )'s campaign. besides himself, he is providing for his wife, Sally ( @sally2033 ), and their three young children, Laila, Nour, and Ahmed, as well as his parents and siblings. Nader's father was injured in the airstrike that destroyed the family's home; due to the lack of available medical care, he continues to struggle with long-term complications. this bombing also killed several of the Gibril family's relatives, including Nader's aunt, uncle, and cousin with his whole family.
now, their situation has gotten even more dire. earlier this month, Nader attempted to get food for the family at one of the israeli/US-run GHF aid distribution sites. as you've likely heard, these facilities have been used as cover to deliberately kill and injure people who come seeking desperately needed food. over 240 humanitarian organizations have called for the GHF to cease operations, and according to the UN, over 1,000 people have been killed while seeking aid. thankfully, Nader was not among them—but he was shot in the back and is now recovering from this serious injury without the benefits of easily accessible medicines, nutritious food, or even a safe and quiet place to rest.
Nader and Sally's children are all under ten years old. they are acutely vulnerable to starvation and the long-term consequences of malnutrition. if the Gibril family's campaign doesn't raise sufficient funds to buy food (which can be over $200 USD per day), Sally or one of the other adults in the family will have to risk their life seeking aid from the GHF. this is not tenable. they should not have to choose between being shot and watching their beloved children fade away from starvation.
your donations and engagement with Nader and Sally's campaign mean that Nader can recover without having to worry for his family, that Sally won't have to risk death or injury to feed their children, and that Laila, Nour, and Ahmed can survive and stay healthy. even just sharing their posts, following one or both of their blogs, or dropping a kind word is a reminder that they are not facing this terrible situation alone. whatever you can do to help is valuable.

Hello everyone, my name is Sahar! I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of a dear friend of mine in Gaza and his family. I have been tal
Guys, we are starving. My children are crying, they want bread. What is their fault? They are innocent children. Please donate so I can feed my children. Donate now.
Gaza is dying of hunger, Gaza is in pain, children are crying from hunger, mothers are searching for food, no water, no medicine, no food, only siege, hunger, and pain. Don't forget them in your prayers and support. #Gaza_is_dying_of_hunger #Save_Gaza
The bodies of children in Gaza have turned into skeletons from the severity of hunger, their bones protruding from under their thin skin, until they have lost the ability to stand or move. Hunger has broken their small bodies and robbed them of even the breath of life.
The children of Gaza... half-souls dying slowly, infants writhing with hunger, their thin bodies screaming soundlessly, no milk, no food, no medicine, not even a glimmer of hope, their little hearts dying silently, they have known nothing of life but oppression, and their bodies have turned into skeletons, as if life abandoned them before it even began.
Please, I desperately need your donations. Donations have stopped completely, and I need your support, no matter how small. If you can't donate, talk about me and share my message. Please 😭🙏 I only need 25 euros to buy 1 kg of flour to feed my children. I'm not asking for more. Please, don't ignore this and try to contribute - I really need you right now. ✅️My account has been verified by @gazavetters, my number on the list is (#380) ✅️
Well that poll seemed to garner a lot of interest so I'm gonna do it!
July 28th marks 10 years since the show first aired on Dave. I figured that would be a great time to run a lil fanzine.
This is the official callout post for submissions for the Taskmaster Fanzine.
FAQ and specs under cut
So what would be okay to submit?
Anything! Art, comics, fics, op ed pieces go ham. Basically I wanna put together something for free for the fans to celebrate 10 years of the absolute ridiculousness that is this show.
Your favourite tasks? series? contestants? Just want to make a collage of Lord Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne? Absolutely welcome!
What's not cool though; bigotted nonsense, gore or explicit NSFW content.
When is the deadline?
01/07/2025 so I can compile submissions and ensure it's all together to be put up on the 28th.
Is this going to cost anything?
Nope.
I'm going to put it up on itch.io for free or PWYW and it'll be a digital download. If people do end up spending money on it then I'll donate that money to charity that'll be decided on at a later date.
What's the submission specs.
For art I want it to be about A5 size, so 5.83" x 8.27", 148x210 mm or 2894 x 2039 pixels at 300dpi minimum. For comics and art I'm gonna limit submissions at 4 per person or 4 pages maximum.
For fics, writing etc I'm gonna say no more than 4 pages of writing at standard 12 size font.
How do I submit?
send submissions, further questions and other bits to [email protected], I'm not gonna hold people to a check in schedule if you wanna do something for it then go ahead if not then it's no worries.
Is RPF okay?
I'm gonna tentatively say yes, basically if it wouldn't seem out of place in the show I'm gonna allow it but I will say RPF is not the focus of the zine it's more about the show itself than the ships!
