Hi everybody! I'm Aya (or kark if you'd prefer :D)! I'm opening art commissions, but instead of giving money to me, I want you to donate money to Palestinian families in need.
THE PROCESS: You put your request in this google form, I contact you accepting the request (not all requests may be accepted just due to my busy schedule), you submit proof of payment, I draw your prompt!
PRICES (as in the amount of money you donate)....
$5- uncolored sketch
$10- colored and polished drawing
Some examples are provided below!

If you need help deciding where to donate to, here are some families in desperate need! Please look at their campaigns!
1. Malik Abdullah has a beautiful family consisting of his wife and adorable two-year-old son Aboood. Aboood's skin is full of pimples due to dirty water, and his family is quite literally starving, suffering every day for just a little food. You can find their posts on @/aboood7312 on Tiktok and @/abooodsfamily on Instagram. This account has been verified by multiple Instagram accounts and the Butterfly Effect Project (line 616 of their spreadsheet). Please look at young Aboood's beautiful smile and donate to help him keep it! Have a heart!
2. Mohammed Ahmed, or @majesticluminarystranger and @mohammedgaza212 on Tumblr, is an 18 year old living in Gaza trying to provide for his family and little siblings. Here is Mohammed's appeal in his own words, and here is a post explaining the verification of this account. Please have a heart and donate to help this family!
3. Yousef Mohammed, or @mmzmo and @mohgazah on Tumblr, is a father of 5 children: Mahmoud, Manal, Maria, Ahmad, and Youssef, who are all in stages of severe malnutrition. His family needs intensive treatment and food, and YOU can help them. Here is Yousef's appeal in his own words. Have a heart! This campaign was vetted by @/gazavetters on Tumblr (here is their spreadsheet; this family is on line 88). Let's all please band together and donate to help this family!
It seems that the Tumblr team has no other purpose than to delete, close, and attack the accounts of transgender people and Palestinians trying to survive genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
Two days ago, I was shocked to find that my blog, abdalsalam2000, had been deleted without warning and without me having done anything wrong, simply because I was asking for help from the Tumblr community. That blog was our only source of income that kept us alive in Gaza, and unfortunately, it was deleted by Tumblr employees.
In Gaza, we need at least $300 a day just to survive. After Tumblr deleted our account, this blog is all I have left. I hope you will help me by sharing this post, donating, and following this blog. Please, please help us and donate now.
These may be my last words or the last time I write a post about my family, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word and ignores me.
i am creating another post for samah @0ammarfmily once more as we have figured out the rough rate of fees for the gofundme campaign method we are using to transfer money to samah, and i thought it would be useful to have this listed
samah’s original campaign and account are shared by 90-ghost, but it was shut down as her organiser’s bank account was deactivated
proof samah asked me to use my paypal / ko-fi account here
starryeyedgiant is the ko-fi link used to raise funds for ammar's weekly digoxin injection - he needs this on time every week by 4 pm tuesday samah's time, or he will need a more intensive $3k+ injection in addition to this one to avoid his heart giving out - in total requiring $5k+
currently, because it is winter, he also needs another immune globulin injection to keep his immunity up and protect him from winter illnesses
we have consistently failed to meet this deadline, and recently this has been getting even worse. almost no one has been donating, forcing more and more costs to incur - first the night time travel, then one for IV fluids, then one for an injection resuscitating him so he doesn't fall into a coma
we were given a final deadline yesterday where ammar would have lost consciousness and we wouldn't have been able to give him another injection. if that hadn't been paid, he probably would have died
and now, we are starting with $0 to cushion us for next week. i am very worried about him, and if people are going to let him die.

samah's gofundme campaign is focusing on raising the money for purchasing passports so that she and ammar may leave for egypt. samah was able to find a deal that lets her have a passport for both ammar and herself at once for $10k in cash
this will let her finally get him the heart surgery he desperately needs - as mentioned, the digoxin is only a temporary measure and the longer ammar is on it, the more it will also damage his heart. he can't take the injection for much longer
unfortunately, as mentioned, we have figured out the rates for what the bank is taking in fees when we send the money, and it means we need roughly $4k more than before to make up for what is lost
thus, the goal is now higher
edit: the goal is now higher again by $265.60 as samah was forced to use $239.70 from her bank to pay back a doctor. we only received $27.20 to make up for that, and therefore the total has changed from $30,791
and now it is higher again, as samah was forced to use $168.60 from the bank to pay back iv fluid costs no one else was willing to pay for. we only received $34 to return it, and therefore we need $168.20 to be added to the total
and for the third week in a fucking row, it is higher. samah had to use $71.16 from the bank to pay for the immune globulin injection, because this time no one even cared enough to raise money for this, and therefore we need $88.95 added to the total
$12,048 / $31,314

samah requires an inhaler in order to breathe properly, and without it has much difficulty doing so, leaving her very ill. previously she was able to freely obtain it from charities, but there has been no stock available recently
we are raising money for this on systemprotocol, as this is something we are uncertain if we will be able to obtain without money, and she needs it very badly - she is the only one capable of taking care of her husband and ammar, so being sick is extremely bad for her
one inhaler lasts her for 15-20 days and is $148 in cash - this is $417 after fees. i have set the goal for two of them as per her request, making it $810, but just one is sufficient for her
if she doesn't get this in time once she runs out, she will be forced to take a cortisone injection, which at $300 in cash is $845 total

adopts for donating
pwyw commissions for donating
the current cash conversion fee is 45%, with the paypal fee being 32%. everything is thus priced accordingly. breakdowns for prices are under the cut
$250 + $454.50 = $704.50 total needs to reach samah
32% paypal fee (704.50 / 0.68) = $1036
5% ko-fi fee (1036 / 0.95) = $1091
the new transportation cost of $150 becomes $272.70 due to the cash conversion. the paypal fee will need us to have $401, and the ko-fi fee will need us to raise $422.10
the fever-reducing medicine is $15, which becomes $27.27 due to the cash commission. paypal's fee will require $40.10, and the ko-fi fee will need us to have $42.21
this means that in total for this injection, we now need to raise $1555
$350 for immune globulin injection
$350 -> cash conversion fee 45% = $636.40
32% paypal fee = $935.90 to be sent to her
5% ko-fi fee = $985.20 to be raised
immune globulin injection [$985.20] + rest of injection costs [$1555] = $2540 total
for passports:
currently, the rate she needs to pay is $10,000 in cash for this single passport
$10,000 -> cash conversion fee 45% = $18,181
$18,181 -> international bank transfer fees 20% = $22,730
19-year-old Khalil Al Habil's liver and kidneys are failing. Shrapnel damage from the bombardment that killed his baby brother Omar has gone mostly untreated due to a lack of funds and resources. The ill effects of this damage have progressed to the point that the organs are losing their ability to function. Khalil urgently needs 3 rounds of treatment to combat the effects of his deteriorating liver and kidneys.
These organs perform vital functions in the body. The body cannot function without them. If Khalil does not receive emergency intervention soon, he will die!
The first round is $1000 usd-let's get this round paid for so we can get Khalil the help he needs!!!
Current: $8,756 out of $9,012 usd (18 March)
Need to raise: $256 usd
Hello, my name is Khalil, I'm 19 years old, from Gaza.
Lebanon is still being bombed right now. Thousands of families are being displaced at this very moment. Please consider donating to this grassroot effort.
Lebanon is currently being carpet bombed by the Zionist state. We are back to our emergency response work and in dire need of funds. We are
In the displacement tents of Gaza, our children no longer fear only the bombing… Every night, rats and weasels creep through the torn blankets, coming close to their tiny bodies as they sleep hungry and terrified. Mothers stay awake until dawn, guarding their children with exhausted hearts, while our children tremble at every sound in the darkness. Here, even sleep is no longer safe.
My pregnant wife was shot in the chest as she prepared to receive our first child.
I never imagined that I would write these words or live this nightmare.
My wife is in her fifth month of pregnancy, and she was trying to live simple moments of joy in the midst of the war. I went out that day to see some of the children's clothes and prepare the needs of our first baby that we are waiting for impatiently.
But instead of returning home carrying clothes for our child, she returned to the hospital soaked in her blood after being shot in the chest.
In moments our dreams and joy turned into fear and terror. We ran to the hospital where she underwent emergency surgery to check on her life and the life of our unborn child. Due to difficult conditions and lack of medical capabilities, doctors have not been able to remove the bullet, and it is still stable inside its chest until now.
If you were able to help or share our story with others, you would have given our family hope at a time when hope has become scarce

Death and shelling and casualties everywhere, and the mutilated bodies of children, and the evacuation and destruction of homes and the displacement of entire residential areas. Reconnaissance and combat aircraft and helicopters all the time, and targets in the streets and markets and the expansion of control zones.
Feelings of fear and anxiety.. and the terror of children returned quickly, after we had at least been in some kind of safety and calm, believing that all this had passed and ended.
All of this happens in silence, without announcement, without labels of "military operations" or "return of war," without statements.. and quietly.. without intervention or attempts or statements or pressures.
And thus we are left alone.. abandoned, being slaughtered, and the scene itself not even broadcast on screens because there are things more important.

Help @el-shab-hussein Hussein in supporting his friend Mohammed, who helped a lot from checking their campaigns to donate security. Mohammed now needs your help because he is waiting for his first son.
Life outside seems easier than the 'prison life' we endure in Gaza. I try to imagine other places where life is difficult, but I realize that even the harshest environments are open; at least there is a way out. Gaza is a closed prison. A rocket could kill you at any moment, food and water are rationed, and the heaviest burden is being besieged by memories, destruction, and graves. It is a constant cycle of physical and psychological torment.
Prices in Gaza have started to rise unusually, and goods have almost disappeared from the markets. Types of vegetables are scarce and expensive, and meats have vanished from the markets too. I mean, what's happening is the beginning of a new famine; food is expensive and scarce in the markets!
Every help is appreciated guys you can DONATE HERE

My aunt’s house was bombed today, I don’t know why, although they are civilians, searched today, and every day there is a bombing in Fazz, this is a false truce just to silence the world and draw their attention to other things 💔
My name is Mohammed, I live in Gaza City and I am 19 years old. I have lived through the full horrors of war — hunger, displacement, fear, relentless bombings, destruction, and so many other painful experiences 🥹😭.I never created a donation link before, and I haven’t received any kind of help throughout this devastating war 🥲💔.
I was so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and I dreamed of starting a small shop to earn a living. But sadly, the war returned — even more violent and destructive than before 😭.Our area has now been declared a dangerous combat zone, and we lost our home — the only shelter we had 💔.
Worst of all, my father was seriously injured: he tragically lost one of his hands and an eye, and he is now completely unable to work or support our family 🥲😭.
Prices have skyrocketed, and we have no source of income. I’m launching this donation campaign now with a broken heart but a little hope 🥲.
Please, for the sake of humanity and for the sake of my family, consider making a donation to help us survive 🙏💔.
I just created the donation link, hoping that someone out there might lend a helping hand.
My name is Mohammed. I am 18 years old and live in Gaza City. I am still at the beginning of my life, dreaming of a better future. My father
