Hello everyone,
Welcome, friends who cherish life and spread hope and support to others.
I'm Mohammed, a 30-year-old husband and proud father. My daughter, Mona, just celebrated her fifth birthday on July 15, 2024. I named her after my strong mother, who raised and educated my four siblings and me despite losing our father, our backbone, to cancer during our childhood.
Our homes, our places of safety, were destroyed following an occupation order to evacuate. With no sources of income left, I took on various jobs to support my family and provide them with the essentials of life—food and water.
I also volunteer to help thousands of displaced people with food and support, despite the risks involved. Compassion and assistance are vital for creating life and saving innocent lives with dignity.
After nine months of enduring harsh conditions and displacement, we have made the difficult decision to seek help. My family, including my mother, sisters, their children, my wife, and my daughter, is suffering from severe health issues due to poor living conditions in tents, extreme heat, and contaminated water. Recently, my sister get affected by hepatitis, as well my daughter had sebaceous cysts near her eyes and others are battling new illnesses caused by the intense heat. Thus, we seek help since the cost of daily necessities in Gaza reaches $27 a day for non-potable water which is overwhelming.
We have decided to launch a fundraising campaign to help us survive. We need assistance until the borders open so we can move to Egypt for a chance at a dignified life. Crossing the border costs $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child, verified by official sources. Additionally, we need funds for temporary living expenses until we can secure jobs.
With hopeful hearts, we reach out to you, our friends and supporters. Even a $1 donation or sharing our story can make a difference. Your help can save lives that are now appealing to you for survival.
We know the challenges ahead are immense, but we believe in the strength of human solidarity. With your support, we are confident we can overcome these trials.
Thank you, dear friends and supporters, for your love and hope.
Here is a photo of where we lived and felt safe.
Hello everyone,
Welcome, friends who cherish life and spread hope… ahmed elwadya needs your support for "Escaping Genocide: Gaza Evacuat
This campaign has been shared by @/90-ghost here. As of posting, Mohammed and Mona's campaign has been able to raise €2,551 of the €185,300 goal. That's only about 1% of the total amount needed to evacuate and care for the entire family. I have donated €5! If you can match my donation, please do! If you are unable to donate, please be sure to share and follow @help-mona for campaign updates.
during the past several days, i have received a mass influx of asks and messages from vetted palestinians seeking my support for their campaigns. up until now, i have been answering these people on an individual basis, but i no longer find that very practical given how many there are, so i'm going to try to create masterlists like this one instead. it's something i had been considering doing for a while now, since i find that lists tend to get more engagement, not to mention that it's recently become clear that a good handful of people on here baselessly equate asks with scams, so maybe this will help.
if you see this post, please consider not just reblogging. the point of lists like these is to spotlight various fundraisers and get people to support them monetarily. please, try picking out one of two of these and consider contributing! every little bit helps!
Ehab Ayyad (@ehabayyad23) - €319/€50,000 (0.63% progress) // new fundraiser not yet vetted but appears legitimate
Basel Ayyad (@basel-1995) - CHF5,403/CHF60,000 (9.01% progress) // vetted twice by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi (#214 on this spreadsheet) // LOW FUNDS
-> Note: Basel's daughter is chronically ill and requires medical care.
Safaa and Abed (@safaabed8) - €24,669/€50,000 (49.34% progress) // vetted by @/90-ghost (here) and @/northgazaupdates (here)
Walaa Ahmed (@ahmed79ss) - $9,502 CAD/$50,000 (19.00% progress) // vetted by @/90-ghost (here)
-> Note: Walaa has Type 1 diabetes and is in desperate need of insulin.
i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.
i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.
palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.
they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.
palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.

updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. I wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. i have verified them but please feel free to do your own vets for your peace of mind.
Remember small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!
the creator of this tiktok, zainah.mb, has many family members in palestine who have been martyred. at least 37, in fact. if you would like to help her out financially, she runs a hijab shop called modest behavior, and sells sister minnie merch. here's a link to her paypal as well.
as far as i know, she doesn't live in palestine, but she is palestinian. consider supporting her

I've been messaging back and forth with @mohammedalanqer after he shared his fundraiser with me, and very quickly into our conversation I offered to draw a comic about him to help boost his gofundme. he was incredibly excited about the idea and shared so many lovely pictures of his family for reference. the text is based off his story of him and his family living under constant bombardment, which you can read here.
he has been able to raise €50,403 out of €58,000, meaning he only has €7,592 left to be able to evacuate. please share this comic as much as possible so that he can reach his goal!
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and heartfelt thanks for your incredible support and artistic contribution to my campaign. Your beautiful drawings and the Tumblr post have not only brought my message to life but have also played a crucial role in raising awareness and gathering donations to save my family.
Your talent as an artist is truly remarkable, and your willingness to use it for such a noble cause speaks volumes about your compassion and generosity. In these challenging times, your kindness has given us hope and strength, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Thank you for being an amazing artist and an even more amazing human being. Your actions have made a significant impact on our lives, and we will always remember your support and dedication.

It’s incredibly telling how the characters that are more wildly headcanoned to be ace, by allos as well as aces, are almost always the non conventionally attractive ones
Like yeah we’ll let this one be ace because we don’t want to bang them anyway.
This hot one though? With the gorgeous eyes and flowing hair? Couldn’t possibly be ace. No way in hell. Because then we’d feel guilty about wanting to bang them.
And yes, of course people can headcanon whatever they want, but after a certain point the “asexuality when convenient for them” of it all feels offensive.
And then when we headcanon a character as ace who is considered hot, people are so quick to jump in with the “ummm actually…”s because they don’t like it when you bring up the possibility of someone they’re attracted to being ace. It’s a headcanon. People have their own opinions. Shhhh.
Hot people can be asexual. People are not just asexual at your convenience. People are not just asexual because nobody wants them. Someone else finish this thought
its just so funny when proshippers talk like anime villains i dont think anything is more funny. screencap that shit and throw death note music over it
Okay but this is REAL and I've felt this way and still do sometimes
But it feels even worse being at a mid-sized pride event with absolutely no indication that we exist or belong. It raises skepticism when thrown together with everything else, and you're right that often people don't know any more than "You're valid!" About us. But that's a step towards hearing that they should maybe know more, a step towards them looking into it themselves, a step towards real solidarity.
I absolutely understand empathize sympathize feel in my bones exactly what you're saying. But it also feels like rejecting people's progress in the right direction. I didn't really know much about us until I was in my late 20s, and as hurt and traumatized and angry and seething as I get about how badly mishandled by the community we are, I can't really fault people for trying one bit harder than people who are queer dont know what identity our flag even aligns with even as a word, or those who try to shove us out of the community, tell us we don't belong, or tell us we're appropriating the struggles of other queer folks.
I'm not trying to change anyone's personal feelings on this matter bc I extremely very much understand them. Kind of elaborating on my own in relation, because I've never verbalized any of this on here. You're not wrong for feeling this way, because it's true. Most of the community thinks we're some type of trans inherently, or we each have one (1) full penis and one (1) full vagina, or we are magical fairy tale creatures or badass Dwarven warriors or viking queens, or any other bullshit we get reduced to or fetishized with by our community.
But, to my deepest misery and to the torture of my soul, understanding takes time. And being seen in a 2D way is better than being intentionally excluded from a place that I otherwise fit in really well
