Help Mahasen, a Digital Artist from Gaza and Her Family!

Hello, I am Mahasen,a Digital Artist from North Gaza, where creativity thrives despite challenges. Verified by @90-ghost here

PLEASE DONATE HERE

In this tough situation, I am a digital artist finding solace and resilience through my art .. pixels and colors.

For over a decade, I've navigated the freelance world, weaving intricate digital tapestries that reflect the beauty and strength of my surroundings.

My father died, and I am the main provider for my family.

Before the war, I worked with international companies in motion graphics,

specializing in character design and storyboarding.

The conflict forced us into repeated evacuations, and our home suffered damage, including the theft and destruction of my essential art equipment and tablet. Each stolen piece held not just monetary value but years of dedication and creativity and hard work. We are left HOMELESS, UNSAFE, SICK with VERY LITTLE FINANCIAL SECURITY!

Our family consists of:

• My mother, 62 years old.

• My sister Mai, 35 years old, who is also visually impaired.

• Myself,Mahasen, 31 years old.

• My brother Mohammed, 28 years old, who is visually impaired.

• My brother's wife Iman, 28 years old.

• My youngest brother Amin, 21 years old.

Your support is crucial as I rebuild what was lost. Your contribution will help replace my tools and restore hope and creativity. And mainly for my family's safety, ability to survive the current situation and community.

Together, we can affirm that art is more than expression,

it is a lifeline that connects us and enlighten even the darkest moments.

Expenses Needed:

• Travel arrangements to Egypt ( $5000 per person ) for 6 family members.

• Living expenses to survive the current situation in Gaza.

• Buying art equipment and tablet to recover what I've lost and be able to work again.

• Living and transportation expenses during the initial period of travel.

• Food and medical expenses.

Every donation counts! Your support makes a real difference for my family and me.

Please consider contributing and sharing to help us.

Meet Mahasen: a digital artist from Gaza, who is the main provider for her family of 6. She is in desperate need of assistance to help them evacuate and reach safety. They are extremely low on funds, with only $1,105 USD raised of their $50,000 goal. Can you help by making a donation?

🍉[Click the GFM Link here!]🍉

Mahasen is working so hard to keep her family safe and fed, but to call it a struggle is a gross understatement. After her father's death, she has become her family's primary source of income, but the devastation of war has seen her home and her tablet destroyed. Her family has been displaced several times, and two of her siblings are visually impaired -- now, they are dealing with homelessness, food scarcity, illness, and financial insecurity.

If you want to read more of her story and enjoy more of her beautiful art, you can support Mahasen by following socials:

Of course my dear 💙

Mahasen is verified by Operation Olive Branch, and you can find her on line 508 of their spreadsheet! However, the fundraiser linked by OOB is no longer accepting donations. They also linked her instagram account, though, which is the same account that Mahasen links to here on her tumblr account. I reached out to Mahasen on her instagram page so that I could help clear up any potential confusion about her posting a different fundraiser link, and she confirmed to me that she is the owner of both this tumblr and the instagram page!

Alt text: a screenshot of the instagram page of user mahasen_ktheeb. Underneath her bio, where the app displays followers the user knows, it says, "Followed by operationolivebranch." End alt text

Alt text: an instagram dm conversation between myself and user mahasen_ktheeb. I said, "Hello my friend, I hope you’re doing well today. I’m palms-upturned on tumblr and was hoping that you could confirm to me that you are the same mahasenelkhatib who reached out to me on tumblr so that I can spread your campaign link there 🙏". Mahasen responds, "Hello Meg, I am Mahasen .. you contacted me on tumblr as @palms-upturned ,right? Thank you for reaching out to me I had to deactivate the old fundraiser as a problem with withdrawing funds forced me to do so and created a new one , and a trusted mutual friend from Netherlands will be the beneficiary who receives funds on my behalf and transfer it to us This is my old fundraiser : (attached link) This is my new one : (second attached link) Thank you". End alt text

This is the link she sent to her old fundraiser, which is the same fundraiser linked in the OOB spreadsheet, and this is the link to her new fundraiser, which is the same one she is posting here on tumblr. You can see that her instagram account is followed by Operation Olive Branch, and you can also go check the spreadsheet to see a direct link to her page!

As you can see, Mahasen lost a lot of fundraising progress, and her new campaign is extremely low on funds, having raised only $100/$50k USD. Please, please do not hesitate to donate what you can to Mahasen’s campaign and to spread her new fundraiser link! She is far from the only person who has reached out to me with similar stories of difficulties with gofundme and with finding trustworthy benefactors, so please be careful not to dismiss people like Mahasen as scams!
