\\PM ME OR SEND ME AN ASK IF YOU NEED ANYTHING TAGGED//He/Him//30 years old guy from Chile who does things sometimes. ----------------- This is not a blog about cookies as it may seem to you.Its a blog about videogames. Maybe. But most of all it is a blog, it exists, and you are reading it right now... Twitter: iwantdatblubird
Its been a while, but I think it's time I made an update about what's happened to my family and I these past few months, how we've been holding up, and our plans for the future.
Long story short, some few months back, we were victims of a house fire, we all got out okay, but we lost most of our possessions. Right now we are okay and we are not in a terrible economic situation. For that reason, and considering the state of the world, I don't feel quite right in asking for donations, at least not outright.
You can see a more complete history of how things went, what our plans are, and my thoughts regarding any possible help are under the cut.
So the long version of the story is that on May of this year, the house fire started as a fire that began in our neighbors house, that subsequently spread to ours. There was some hope that the fire wouldnt spread, but it ended up happening and most of our house was destroyed
This is the picture i took, which i posted as part of my original post when the incident happened
In the last update from that original post, I mentioned we were being shown a place we could stay at, provided by a friend of the family, which we ended up staying in for a couple of months. The cleanup process for the initial debris and all the costs incurred had to paid from our own pockets, as the house was too old to be insured sadly.
While this all happened, we contracted a construction company to build us a prefab house in the space available in our backyard, a process which took about 3 months. We did this so that we would be able to return as quickly as possible to look after our cats, who managed to survive. We hadn't been able to take them with us to our temporary homes because of lack of space and other animals being there.
As the prefab house was built, we also bought all the necessary utilities, as well as more clothes. My parents covered most of the costs there, including the house, and I pitched in with the cost for things like the kitchen appliances as well as our clothes. Around this time I got some money from people who donated to me as well, so I used it alongside money from my savings. I spent the equivalent to around 1000 usd back then.
The house was finished around August, and we have been living here since then. For my parents and I, its quite comfortable enough as is.
It really has the accommodations of a regular house, despite being a prefab, so it worked out nicely!
That said, because our family is bigger than just my parents and me, we are still thinking of building a bigger, non prefab house so we can still get together with my siblings and other friends of the family more comfortably.
The plans for that new house are still in progress right now, but once those are finalized and we all come to an agreement together, we will go through with it. When that happens, that's when the real big spending will come. My parents will have to take from their retirement savings, and my siblings and I will surely try to pitch in what we can. This however is still a while away from now.
That said, even with such things considered, we are not at risk of becoming destitute. We have enough savings and we can make it by just alright.
This is the part where I go over my opinions regarding donations. Quite frankly, I don't feel fully in a position to be asking for donations too openly. There are many, many other people going through very horrible situations right now, people in Gaza, Sudan, Lebanon, Congo, and many other places (ive still been making some donations here and there to campaigns that take paypal). Besides that, I've been struggling for a while from other things weighing on my conscience going years back, so that is adding to the amount of stress that comes up whenever I think about this.
Still, I've come to a decision. I know still that people care about me, so, if anyone feels able, and is not struggling, they can dm me and I can send you a link to donate if you feel inclined. I still feel inclined to insist that you first donate to a campaign from Gaza Funds , Sudan Funds, and any other campaign I reblog here in my blog. I will feel better if you do, even if I donโt get donations myself.
I thank anyone whoโs taken the time to read this, it means a lot to me that people are worried about me. I promise that my family and I will be fine, regardless of what happens.
I would also like to add that I do have a job currently, and while its not very high paying, its enough for me to still afford to buy things for myself, donating to some campaigns, and put savings towards the future house, which helps in taking away stress from my parents who were hit badly by this. So please dont think of this as something urgent by any means! This is also why I want to encourage people to donate to emergency funds and donation campaigns that I reblog!
My name is Hisham, a 26-year-old young man from Gaza. Like any young person, I dreamed of a simple job to achieve my goals and build my future step by step, but the war turned all our dreams into rubble. We were displaced many times, carrying our homes on our shoulders, leaving our memories under the debris.
My family now lives in a tent with no stable shelter, my sister Jana has no school, and I have no steady job. My brother Kamal carries the burden of the entire family, working every day to secure just enough food, while I search for any work, no matter how difficult or dangerous, just to survive.
My mother, the beautiful dream we once cherished, wished for a calm and happy life for us, but the war tore us apart and shattered our hopes. As for Jana, my innocent sister, she lost her school, her books, and even her sense of hope, yet she still writes her dreams on small pieces of paper, hiding them in her torn clothes so they wonโt get lost like everything else.
We are not asking for the impossible, only what keeps us alive with dignity and gives us a chance to rebuild our lives. Every donation, no matter how small, means so much to us. Your support will give us hope to keep going and try again. ๐โค๏ธ
My husbandโs condition has become extremely critical. Doctors confirmed that he is suffering from internal bleeding and needs an immediate, life-saving emergency surgery. Any delay could cost him his life.
At the same time, my children are shivering from the freezing cold and suffering from severe malnutrition. We lack proper shelter, warm clothing, food, and medicine.
I am a woman providing for my family alone, carrying an unbearable responsibility in these devastating conditions.
I am begging you from the depths of my heartโplease stand with us. Any support, donation, or even sharing our story can truly make a difference and help save my husbandโs life and protect my children.
Please donโt leave us alone in this nightmare ๐

I hope you are doing well. It has been more than two years since the genocide, as you know. I once had a previous donation link, but GoFundMe deleted it.
Now is the time we need your support the most. The war may have ended, but the tragedy has not. Prices are still very high, and winter is approaching. There are many difficulties and risks โ such as the worn-out tents and other hardships.
We are all in need of your help and support.
If you cannot donate, please write posts about me and talk about my story. I have become part of this community and have lost many friends due to account closures. I also face a lot of criticism for using translation tools or accusations of being a scammer.Iwant to draw attention to the fact that English is not my first language, and I always need help to communicate better with you.
In fact, our tents are worn out and not ready for the winter, as we were bombed three times during the ongoing war. Iโve attached below several photos showing the shrapnel that fell on us and caused the tents to tear apart.
Right now, I need your support โ at least to provide tents for the winter so that we donโt face difficulties when it rains.

I am Mohammed from Gaza, 28 years old, and I live with my father and brothers. We all used to live a peaceful life together in our home. As you can see, this was our home before it was completely destroyed. It was our home, but now it is in ruins.
We worked 24/7 to rebuild our home, but now, after all these years of hard work, we have lost everything and have become homeless and displaced.
As for our work and our business, my brother and I had a university cafeteria, and we had a dream of being able to provide the best food to the students in our city.
At Al-Aqsa University, we worked together hand in hand to make this possible, and just as it was starting to happen, a war broke out and shattered all our dreams. We woke up to the nightmare of war, seeing the university destroyed. At that moment, we were desperate, helpless, and lost.
Not just our home and our workplace. But can you imagine the moment you see the last thing you owned destroyed, ruined, and shattered? So, for God's sake, you are the only ones who can help us rebuild our shattered lives. I would be very grateful for your kindness and support.
My name is Saja, Iโm 20 years old and I live in Gaza City. Iโm married and a mother to a two-year-old child.
Previously, I launched a fundraising campaign with my brother **@jaafar-gaza04**, and we used to share the donations we received to support our family during difficult times๐๐.However, due to the distance between us now, Iโve decided to create my own campaign to help my husband and child, and to provide for our basic needs during these extremely hard days.
After the recent ceasefire was announced, we truly believed the war was finally over and that things would start to get better. Sadly, the war returned with even more force โ bringing more destruction, more death, and now, a real **famine**๐๐ญ.We currently have **no food at all** for my baby โ not even flour.
My husband is struggling to find any kind of work, but with the current conditions, it's nearly impossible. We have no source of income and no way to provide for our basic needs๐๐ญ.
If you're able to help, please consider donating to my campaign.

I am Inas, a mother of two young children: Muhammad, 7 years old, and Hala, 5 years old. They should have been living their childhood like all childrenโsafe and warm in the embrace of their father. But the war has stolen that dream from us๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Six months ago, my husband Anas, a kind-hearted man who endured a life of poverty, was killed by a random shell while on his way to work as a taxi driver. Since that tragic day, Iโve been left to carry the unbearable weight of life alone.
I held a diploma in international secretarial studies and was about to start a job to help support my family. But the war shattered not only our home but also my hopes and dreams. Weโve been displaced six times and now live in a tent that offers no shelter from the bitter cold or the ever-looming fear.
My young children face relentless hunger that weakens their fragile bodies and a cold that knows no mercy for their small hearts. Each day, their cries for warmth and food grow louder, and each day, I feel more helpless to provide them with even the basics of life๐๐ญ๐ญ
I appeal to your humanity, to your compassion. We need your help to survive, to find a safe shelter, and to feed my children. Your generosity could be the reason Muhammad and Hala continue to live and find hope amidst this darkness๐ฅน
Please, help me keep the light of these innocent children from being extinguished by this cruel world

My name is Adham, I'm 20 years old, and I'm from Gaza City. I dreamed of a happy life, completing my studies, and getting a job, but the war turned this dream into something impossible ๐๐ญ. We lived through this massacre in all its painful details, and we're still in pain ๐. We were very happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in northern Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the southern Gaza Strip. After we fixed a small room in our destroyed house to live in and start over, unfortunately the war returned stronger than before ๐. Now, we have no shelter and no source of income. We exhausted all our savings during the war. I know that I started my campaign very late, but that's because there is no other way to help my family ๐. I am completely confident and optimistic that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these difficult circumstances ๐.
I know that the feeling of starting from scratch is painful and frustrating, but I hope to receive any amount for my family ๐ฅบ๐.

My friend Amal (@amal-ashour-now2) messaged me this picture and story:
Today, bullets pierced our tentโฆ the children were playing inside when it happened.
We are a displaced family, living in a fragile tent with barely enough to survive. This morning, gunfire struck our shelter.
By a miracle, no one was physically harmed, but the emotional trauma is unbearable.
My children picked up the bullets from the ground... and asked me, โMom, are we going to die too?โ
I took these photos just minutes later, not to shock you, but to show you the heartbreaking reality weโre living.
Amal is a pregnant mother, whoโs currently displaced in Gaza. Previously, she used to run a campaign to support her familyโs basic needs until GFM shut it down. For that, her and her sister launched a Chuffed campaign to ensure that donations reach both families safely and reliably. The funds from this campaign aim to:
- Help the families evacuate from Gaza
- Find a safe place to live
- Provide food and medical care for the kids
- Help them heal from this terrifying experience
Please support Amalโs family by donating and sharing. Help this fundraiser gain traction as it barely raised ~$100 so far.

Hello friends, I'm Ahmed from Gaza. The war is over now, but our pain and suffering haven't. I studied computer science at the Islamic University of Gaza. During the war, I lost everything: my home, my job, my car, and my tablet. I'm now homeless and without shelter. Despite all that, I tried my best to finish my university studies during the war and take my exams under difficult circumstances, under bombardment. Now I'm about to finish. I need your help to complete my studies abroad and cover the travel expenses. Therefore, I need your support and assistance to achieve my dreams and ambitions. If you can't donate, you can share this post and talk about me and my dreams.
The effects of the war on Gaza are still present in the details of daily life, especially in the lives of those who lost their homes and found no alternative but tents.
I am the mother of a child born during the war, specifically at the height of the bombing, amidst the sounds of explosions, fear, and insecurity. Today, two years later, we still live in a tent.
Living in a tent is not life, but a daily struggle to secure the most basic rights.
Pure drinking water is not easily available. We have to carry it from long distances, and we may wait for hours to get enough water for one day.
Food is also not always available, and we often lack basic ingredients. Sometimes I don't have anything to feed my child and have to wait for aid or donations to arrive.
There is no electricity, no place to shower, and no toilets.
We are not looking for luxury, but for the bare minimum of dignity: a roof over our heads, clean water, and enough food.
Please, any donation, no matter how small, will help us in our war for survival.
I'm a mother of a 2-year-old child. His name is yousef...I see my son growing up in front of me and I do not know how or when. This is not what I wished for him. I was dreaming of a wonderful life to spend with him...a life not full of death, fear, destruction and deprivation...I wanted to fill his room with toys and his closet with clothes, and I wanted to buy children's books for him, but I couldn't... the war came and the wishes were gone...my goal became to provide him with milk and food. I can barely afford anything. Everything is expensive and we no longer have income to enable us to buy his needs. Kram eggs have been deprived of many of his basic needs. He has been deprived of safety and stability..No, fruits, or meat.
There is nothing but fear that fills my son's eyes as soon as he hears the voices around him. He does not realize what It happens outside, but he feels and sees it in our eyes when he looks at us.I cannot protect myself and my son. Help me to save my son yousef. He deserves a better life, as do all the children of Gaza and the world.
Alone, I cannot, but with your help, we will be able to find a safe place and a better future for my son. Be a reason to change a child's life for the better by visiting our link on GoFundMe. And donate anything to us, no matter how small...every dollar makes a difference and give a life for my son..
