I'm visiting some dear friends of mine this week, and all of us have at least one disability. While we were eating breakfast this morning we were discussing the impact medication has on our lives.
I was sharing how difficult everything was for me when I had moved to a new city where the cost of housing was much more expensive and I couldn't afford medication. Over the course of the year, my energy deteriorated rapidly. First I couldn't keep up with my job, then I couldn't keep up with housework, then I couldn't keep up with basic hygiene, and eventually even chewing and swallowing became difficult. Sometimes walking to the train, I thought about lying down on the side of the road and how long it would take before a cop would force me to move. I wanted to die but I didn't even have the energy to figure out how.
My friend asked me if I had chronic fatigue. I don't know, because I was never diagnosed. I don't claim it because right now I'm very functional. I can keep up with hygiene, cook, clean, do work, and even exercise! But this is only possible from the combination of four different medications. Right now, I am extremely fortunate in that I have much of my medical expenses covered by my wife's health insurance that she has through work. I pay $415 USD every month for these things I need. I can never take this for granted because I know so vividly how difficult it is to survive without them.
It is perhaps evidence of my own self-absorbed perspective, but my own experience of going without medication (feeling first terrified and then hopeless) has made reading about the Israeli strategy of destroying healthcare infrastructure in Palestine particularly vivid and gutting to me.
I remember reading the book From the River to the Sea: Essays for a Free Palestine and absorbing some fraction of the devastation described by the essay "We Have Lost the Ability to Provide True Care: Three Doctors' Testimonies from Gaza." In this essay, Dr. Reda Abu Assi wrote: "We have lived through seven wars. In each war, we lost coworkers with who, we had memories. In each war, the medical services we were able to provide to patients deteriorated... We have run out of many life-saving drugs; we live on medical aid from abroad, and if it runs out, we have nothing to offer." That was written in October 2023, almost two full years ago.
When I was recovering from surgery earlier this year, I started texting with a guy in Palestine named Fadel (@fadel-dani). Like me, he also struggles with fatigue. For him he has an actual diagnosis--thalassemia, a blood disorder. Like me, he relies on medication for basic functioning, but his medicine is even more expensive than mine-- the equivalent of around $470 USD every month.
A few months after that essay "We Have Lost the Ability to Provide True Care" was written, Fadel experienced firsthand what Dr. Reda Abu Assi described. He survived a bombing of his home, and when he woke in a hospital, he learned they did not even have the supplies needed to remove the shrapnel from his body. They told him that he needed to get to a different country for urgent surgery. He set up a campaign to raise money for it, and had it vetted by @gazavetters (#197) and 90-ghost.

A lot of people follow this blog, and I have been trying to help him to get eyes on this campaign. I think about how isolated and defeated I felt when I couldn't afford healthcare, and it breaks my heart that he is experiencing something so much worse.
It's been so long since then, and he has only been able to raise €15,129 (around $17,700 USD) which is no where near enough. In that time, everything has only become more scarce and more expensive. He can't even think about the money from his fundraiser going to surgery, because he spends every month trying to figure out whether to spend the small amount of donations on his medication or on food.
He is in constant chronic pain from the shrapnel in his body, and he is so exhausted he is constantly dizzy and nauseated. I think about how suicidal I was the period of time I was so fatigued, and then I think about how minuscule my experience of exhaustion and hopelessness was in comparison to what Fadel is living with. The worst year of my life would literally be a relief to him in comparison with his current life, and he has no reassurance that there's any end to it. I truly can only imagine the enormity of exhaustion he feels every day.
The only thing that gives him a little bit of hope that this misery might end for him is receiving donations. Every donation reminds him that someone in the world cares that he's suffering and that there are people who believe he matters and deserves relief. I can't convey to you the difference it makes, even a single person caring enough to send a small amount.

If my words inspire any empathy or compassion in you at all, please donate something to him this week. Literally even a single dollar or euro makes a difference. You can do that. Leave some encouraging words in your reblog of this post or in the tags. I need to know someone is reading this and cares.
Please encourage others to read and share this post. Encourage them to donate. Add something in the tags. Please engage with what I'm saying here.
I have told you repeatedly that I am in dire need of help, and everyone is ignoring me. I hope you will help me so that I can buy my medicine as soon as possible, and so that we can buy some food so that we do not die of hunger or get killed when we go to get aid. Please have mercy on us and help us with a donation so that I can buy my medicine and some food. Please Donate.
Please donate!!
Fadel's vetted campaign is just a little over 50% funded! Please continue to share and give what you can to help with his necessities like food and medicine
Please, friends, do not ignore me and leave us alone. Do not forget and ignore what we are going through and what we are suffering from. Please donate to us and do not leave us alone. Please help us, Please Donate.
Please donate whatever you can and reblog to help!
My friends, we are dying of hunger under this genocide and ethnic cleansing practiced by the Zionist occupation. In front of the whole world, we are not asking you to stop the war on Gaza, I am only asking you to help me to undergo my surgery as soon as possible and to buy some food so that we do not die of hunger. I hope that you will help us and donate to us wherever you are. All I ask from you, people, is your support. I hope you don't forget us, Please donate.

Hey so this is correct in that there's not really due process for institutionalization, the executive order is a eugenics policy, and there's time limits BUT it is (currently) incorrect about there not being phone calls or lawyers. That is thanks to something called the Protection and Advocacy Systems, or the P&As, which are independent, federally funded entities designated for/by each state and territory. The P&As were created by the DD Act of 1973. The DD Act gives the P&As special "federal access authority" to go anywhere people with disabilities live, work, exist, etc. to monitor for abuse and neglect. This is particularly true of institutions. (It's unclear if access authority extends to federal things like immigrant detention centers, but my understanding is some P&As have gotten in.)
P&As play a special role in ensuring people with disabilities in institutions, nursing homes, and group homes have access to legal representation and access to means of communication (even if restricted, which it often is).
You can find your protection and advocacy system at ndrn.org .
The proposed federal budget working its way through Congress would almost completely defund these P&A systems through ending or severely cutting from the Protection and Advocacy for people with Development Disabilities (PADD) grant and the Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) grant, amongst others.
This is part of a broad assault on DD Act programs and nonprofits holding the government accountable in general. See also the attacks on the Tides, Open Society, and Ford Foundations. Other DD Act programs include state Developmental Disabilities Councils (DDC) and University Centers for Excellence Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD)?
All of this is incredibly dangerous. Not only are we seeing increasing assaults on disabled people—especially homeless disabled people, which is the majority of homeless people due to the disabling nature of homelessness plus the impoverishment of disabled people—but we are about to get massive cuts to programs which fight back against these assaults. All of this is intimately connected with the far-right's embrace of eugenics, something which their movement had mixed feelings on up until around 2022.
This is a moment where I'm going to say, yes, call your representative and senators, but also, for fucks sake, link up with your friends, community organizations, etc. and try to do something on your neighborhood or city level to defend homeless people from attacks by fascists, in government and not in government.

I turn the TV off, I write a letter to you
About how I can’t watch this shit anymore
About how I am out of strength
That I almost started drinking, but haven’t forgotten you
That the phone rang. It wanted me to get up,
To dress and walk, or rather to run
But I let it be,
Said that I’m sick, and tired from my sleepless night
I’m waiting for an answer, there is no hope left
Soon, summer will end.
This summer.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1
We are living in a famine. I haven’t eaten in three days so my family could have something in the morning. Today I felt dizzy and nauseous. My mother rushed me to the hospital but they couldn’t admit me. Too many people like me are collapsing from hunger.
I added salt to water and drank it just to stay conscious. I can no longer get up to help my family. I have nothing left but these words on Tumblr. If these words reach you I ask with all my heart for any form of support our survival depends on it.
Please help keep Abood and his family going. He is being pushed beyond human limitations and needs our help
6 AM in Gaza. I’m still awake not by choice but because hunger will not let me rest. Just a little help can change something.
My chest bones are showing from hunger I don’t know how we’ll survive the next 48 hours if you see this please help in any way you can.
I'm not ashamed to say that I'm hungry because this is something that's not in my hands, and I'm not ashamed to say that I hear the sound of my stomach empty at night, this is not my faultBut I'm ashamed when l ask you for help and you refuse.

"Vetted! His current Chuffed is shared by @/el-shab-hussein. His original but now defunct GFM is vetted and promoted by @/gaza-evacuation-funds and #408 on the verified fundraiser spreadsheet vetted by el-shab-hussein, MohAyesh and nabulsi, but he is now using Chuffed because GFM shut down his fundraiser"
Please help.

5 AM in Gaza.
I can’t sleep from hunger.
My stomach aches, my head spins, and all I can do is stare at the ceiling, hoping for a miracle.
I think this is the worst feeling a human can endure.
With the Israeli defense minister talking today about his plan to (quote) "concentrate the population of Gaza" in a camp built "on the ruins of Rafah" to carry out the "Emigration Plan", I don't think anyone gets to call the comparison inappropriate any longer: the Israeli Nazis plan to kill Gaza's entire population of 2 million Palestinian people, systematically, in order seize their land and settle it with Israeli Jews, because they consider Palestinians to be a racially inferior & intrinsically dangerous people. If "emigration" is what they're discussing openly, what do you think they're planning in private?
If the Western world order were not hypocritical, NATO would be coordinating a campaign to eliminate Israel's military capabilities and occupy & partition the country, abolish its central government, have its leaders put on trial for the capital crimes of genocide and aggression, and prevent by force the existence of an Israeli nation-state until a secular and democratic Palestinian administration can be established. Never again means now.
Water is Life Gaza needs your support too
