This is the money which was raised in a day for Ao3. This is the spare income contributed by a collective of people to fanfic site, so that they can be a board member. $130k USD and I am sure a good chunk of it came from tumblr users too, cause of the way we lose our minds on here when ao3 is down.
The centering of one's own comfort is such a tremendous thing, that it can make us disregard a genocide. It can make us forget that not even a year ago, a member chose to leave ao3 because the site apparently took an issue with the chant "from river to the sea". It can make us accuse flesh and blood people who are trying their best to survive under a genocide, of being scammers while pouring money into a site which will probably just sit on it. I am not at all surprised to find that what is a scam and what is not, is intrinsically linked to the factor of personal comfort.
While op (le-bjorn) has deleted the doc containing receipts of otw participating in genocide apologia, they still have links to compilation of incidents which all point to how racist the platform truly is. All this and still in 2 years time, ao3 has collected a total of over $250k donations. This is disturbing when you think about how many of the fandom bloggers have repeatedly expressed discomfort at having to witness the suffering of Gazans, before finally choosing to go completely mask off and are now leading smear campaigns against fundraisers- their proof being the broken English and reused template of sending asks.
I am just so tired guys. Idk what to tell you, but where this stupid site could raise close to 200k in 2 days this year, a writer in Gaza has been struggling to raise even a hundred dollar in a day. Siraj has received only TWO DONATIONS in 12 hours!! He just needs $145 CAD or $104 USD to reach his current short term goal.
So please BOOST and DONATE. It is honestly so painful to see how much he is struggling, when I know that every single time he feels ashamed of begging people to care. He is a writer and he tells stories but every potential he ever had, has been destroyed in this genocide. Right now he is desperately trying to protect his family of 23 from winter and death.

With your help Siraj has reached 91k, but still his hardships are far from over. Preparing for winter costs a fortune. Winter clothes are very expensive and with 24 people, it will definitely be difficult. On top of that Siraj has to buy nylons to cover up the broken windows of the apartment he has managed to rent. So please keep donating and boosting. We are only $363 CAD ($262 USD) away from our next goal.
Rainfall has become a real terror. For us, tents that cannot protect us from the rain and cannot withstand strong winds and storms will sink.
We appeal to you and beg you to provide assistance in protecting my family from danger by renting a small house to them for the winter period only.

There is only 1227 CAD left = 895 USD to reach the 90k goal and insure my family from the risk of winter.

In 14 hours today Siraj couldn't even raise $100 CAD ( $72 USD ). This can mean death right now. With the occupation forces carrying out horrific massacres and bombing throughout Gaza, the little remaining resources are being destroyed. This will cause the price of necessary items to shoot up even more. And more importantly, slow donations mean that in these dangerous times, a family won't be able to flee to "safety", should the need arise.
So please DONATE AND BOOST. It has been close to a month and Siraj still hasn't managed to reach 90k. Previously he gave up on enrolling his kids in an online course because he couldn't raise the money in time. That is two years worth of education lost!! Where else in the world have kids been unchilded so cruelly? So please do not let Siraj down this time- donate so that at least Siraj can rent a shelter for the sake of his children and his nieces and nephews, to keep them safe during winter.
$948 CAD left to raise till $90,000 CAD. Let us try to raise the amount by tomorrow.
Don't ignore me, listen to our sad storyππ₯Ήπ
My name is Kariman Dohan, I am 25 years old. I was a committed and diligent teacher, and my husband, Ayman Olwan, 30 years old, is a business administration graduate, but due to unemployment and difficult conditions in Gaza, he was forced to work as a fisherman. We have a wonderful son named Hamoud, who is one and a half years old. We live in Gaza, specifically Khan Yunis, where the fishing boat, fishing equipment and the school where I worked were damagedπ₯Ήπ«πππππ
We have been displaced several times, and our tragedy has reached the point that we now live in a tent that is unfit for living. We desperately need your help, I have launched a donation campaign but I cannot get the funds so I can get $50000 to get through this current crisis.
