There is a rising number of Palestinian people in my inbox (more than one) that want me to share their story and I will do so, because i can't donate and this is the least i can do.
Don't be surprised then, if my blog is full of those in need. Also, I can't really distinguish if it's a scam, but I believe noone abuses this situation. Sorry for sharing scams (if I do so) in advance.
Aching in Ireland, while my Broken Heart is Held Hostage with my Family in Gaza
Before the ongoing horrific genocide in Gaza, I happened to be a PhD student at an Irish university collecting data for my research from universities in Gaza. Little did I know that being a student at an Irish university would be my only way to be saved from the horrible war. I was lucky and privileged, unlike my helpless family trapped in Gaza. Four months and a half into the war, my Irish supervisors and my family insisted that I should seize the opportunity to evacuate to Ireland while I still could.
Setting foot outside Gaza felt like leaving hell and entering a whole new world. People walk carefree in the streets not fearing being killed by an airstrike! They go for a run in the morning and walk their dogs! They go to school and work and live a normal life I had been deprived of for so long! I see people talking and laughing and cannot help but have the daunting thoughts that the next airstrike could kill all of my family members in Gaza.
A horrible mixture of fear, depression, survival guilt, and agony engulfs me and paralyzes my entire life as I watch the news while being far away. Just a couple of days ago, 100 innocent people were killed in a school in Gaza where people sought shelter. I saw pictures and videos of people carrying the burned meat of their family members instead of whole corpses. Could our world be more evil, insensitive, desensitized, and cruel?
My heart skips a beat every time I hear that the neighborhood where my family has been displaced was bombed! What if they are running out of luck as I write these words and the next indiscriminate bombing will end their lives?! Therefore, evacuation is a dire need and a matter of life and death at this point as the genocide and massacres continue unabated.
I am desperately trying to protect my family from this genocide just as you would do if you were in my place. I plan to evacuate them to Egypt as a first step in the hope of reuniting with them in Ireland where we can have a dignified safe life together away from the missiles, bombs, corpses, diseases, polluted water, and pain of loss. We love Gaza more than anything in the world, but I can not accept carrying them as burned meat in plastic bags like I see all the time in the news and social media.
Please find it in your heart to help me save my family by donating, reblogging, and sharing.

fahed and reem are the parents to five children. the prolonged attack on gaza and subsequent destruction of everything they've known has forced them to fundraise, but the oldest, sahar (@fahedshehab9), has been making videos to help spread the word. the thought of a young girl advocating for her family's survival in front of the world is as heartbreaking 10 months into cruel bombardment as it was on october 7, october 6, 2023, 2014, 2008, and every single day since 1948 when palestine was first shattered.
this is the current progress of their fundraiser. sahar has done a wonderful job spreading the word so far, but as of posting, they still need €18,634 to meet their goal.
please help her and her family by sharing, reposting with the link, and donating what you're able!
I am married and pregnant, and we have been living under bombing, fear and hunger for 10 months, and I suffer from a shortage of pregnancy and food needs, and I need help. A small donation of $25 or $30 could make a big difference in my life, my husband's life and my future
I hope you help us and donate even something small

🍉I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, coming from a family of young children, women and elderly ❤❤ who have been suffering😭😭 for 300 difficult days of an aggressive war. Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and difficult to obtain. There is no food, no water, no medicine.
So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we lost all our sources of livelihood.
Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. ❤❤🍉🍉
Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost
@mahmoudayyad has a really big family, containing over 40 members who are all loved. A big number of them are children and elderly women, who are both very vulnerable groups.

got another message from asmaa (@asmaayyad) today- she let me know that one of her sisters, israa, has made an account to help promote their family's gfm! please follow her here on @esraayyad18 to get the latest updates for their campaign 🖤
asmaa/israa's campaign has been prev. vetted by 90-ghost (see here).
so far- their family has raised €1,702. they require €45,000 in order to cover the costs necessary to evacuate. these funds are also likely used to cover day-to-day living expenses (food, water, medicine, charging cell phones (yes they need to pay for that too), etc).
i was able to speak with israa briefly- and would like to share her words with all of you:
"I am supposed to study high school, and my dream was to study medicine, but everything ended after the start of the devastating war in the Gaza Strip, and now I want to leave the Gaza Strip to complete my education, but before that I want support to collect enough money to save me and my family."
(a/n: israa also shared with me that she loved attending her english classes- and enjoys to read many books. as y'all may know-- one of the first places targeted by the israeli army were schools/universities/libraries. as families are displaced over and over again, they lose more and more of their possessions (if you can't carry it- you have to leave it- and sometimes the situation calls for moving without much warning/time to gather what little you have left.))
your support may take on many forms-- from reading israa's/asmaa's words with earnest to donating any amount you can afford at this time. my only ask is that you share their message to allow others to come to their aid as well 🖤
israa deserves a chance to sit down and get lost in a new novel. asmaa deserves a chance to reunite with her loved ones. their whole family deserves a chance to live a life worth living

🍉I am Hala, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza Strip 😭😭. I fled the war with my husband to Egypt..
The story began on March 21, 2024 when my beautiful child was born.. He was a wonderful and special child.. Suddenly, a week after his birth, my child Abdul Aziz's belly swelled up a lot and I visited several doctors without discovering the reason.. After another week of the child's suffering, I took him to a specialized hospital and the doctors there discovered a blockage in Abdul Aziz's colon that prevented him from excreting stool.. It was decided to perform a surgical operation consisting of an opening in Abdul Aziz's belly to temporarily remove stool from his intestines until the affected part of the colon was removed in another complex surgical operation that cost thousands of dollars..😭😭
I am speaking to you now with great sadness about my child's condition and I ask you to help me and donate to me to collect the costs of the operation within a month from now.
I appeal to everyone who can donate any amount, no matter how small, because it will save my child and give us hope.
Please don't leave my son alone to suffer and struggle in these difficult days alone.. You can support my campaign by donating what you can or share my posts to reach others who can help us by raising the cost of the surgery you are helping in the life of an innocent child with your small contribution. ❤❤🍉🍉

Hello, I'm Kariman Dohan. I am writing this letter to you feeling a state of sadness and grief, after the war on Gaza completely destroyed our lives. My husband works as a fisherman, but the fishing boat, which was our only source of income, was badly damaged and no longer usable. My young son, Hamoud, suffers from malnutrition due to the lack of food and the polluted water we drink. My husband, Ayman Olwan, and I are trying with all our might to survive, but the situation has become too much for us. We are desperate to escape to a safe place where we can start over, but we don't have enough money to do so. Therefore, I ask you for your generosity and kindness to help us so that we can overcome this crisis. Please consider our situation and help as much as you can by donating and sharing the link.💔🍉🥹😭😭😭😭
