I’ve stayed quiet for a while, hoping things would clear up on their own. But I can’t stay silent anymore. What’s happening is not just unfair — it’s deeply hurtful and confusing.
As many of you know, I’ve been sharing my story here for the past few months. I’m from Gaza, and like so many others, I’ve lost nearly everything because of this war — my home, my loved ones, my sense of safety. I started my campaign not to guilt anyone, but simply to survive, and to make sure that voices from Gaza are still heard.
In the beginning, I may have reached out to people too often. I was new to Tumblr and didn’t fully understand the limits of outreach. I realize now that some people felt overwhelmed by my messages, and I genuinely apologize if I caused any discomfort. That was never my goal. I was just trying to be seen in a world where we often feel invisible.
But this turned into something bigger.
Some users began spreading false claims about me — saying I’m not from Gaza, that I’m not the person in my photos. None of that is true.
Before I ever shared a single post, I contacted Gazavetters — a respected Tumblr page that vets campaigns from Gaza. They asked me to send a photo of myself in Gaza holding a paper with their name on it. I did. After reviewing everything, they verified me and added my name to their list as number 309.

For weeks, I was listed as verified. Then one day, I was suddenly flagged as Spam/Bot — with no warning, no explanation, no message. I reached out again. They asked for a thing, I provided it, and they restored me.
But just a few days ago, a friend told me that I’ve now been flagged again — this time as Scam/Spam. I was shocked. I’ve messaged them again for answers, but so far, there’s been no reply.
This label is serious. People who once supported me are now doubting my entire story. And that hurts more than I can explain.
So I’m asking publicly, with full transparency:
Gazavetters — why did you mark me as Scam/Spam after already verifying me?
What proof do you have to support that?
Why was I not warned or contacted first?
@gazavetters
You shared a general post warning about people who pressure donors by saying things like, “If you don’t donate, I will harm myself.”
I have never done that.
I have never said anything extreme or manipulative.
I have always spoken kindly and respectfully — asking for help, or simply for a reblog.
What makes this harder is that I see other campaigns on your list using much stronger language, and yet they remain flagged “safe.” I am not here to criticize them — everyone struggles in their own way — but I do want to understand:
Why am I the only one flagged with such a damaging label, despite doing everything right?
I am not a scammer.
I am a real person — from Gaza — and I have nothing to hide.
If anyone has doubts, I invite you to talk to me directly, and I’ll gladly provide proof again.
But I also want to say this:
Gazavetters, you have a responsibility to be truthful and fair. You verified me. You received my proof. If you truly believe I’m a scammer, show the evidence. If not — then please be honest with the community and speak up.
Right now, people are using your flag as their only evidence to say I’m a liar. And your silence is allowing false narratives to spread. If you know I’m real — and you already verified me — then please tell people the truth.
Don’t silently mark me with a harmful label and walk away.
That’s not vetting. That’s feeding doubt.
To those who’ve supported me:
Thank you for your kindness, your reblogs, and your trust.
To those who doubted me: I understand, but I invite you to learn the full story before making a judgment.
To Gazavetters: I still respect the work you do, but I ask you to stand by your own process and your own words.
This is my campaign, if you want to read it and decide for yourself
My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I am a survivor of the war in Gaza. Life as I knew it has been completely destroyed. I have lost my home, my

It would be super coolio if a ton of people asked Youtooz for them because I NEED Be More Chill plushies 🙏🙏
family. Perhaps your brother, sister, or friend, imagining that my family, which is now under threat of death, is your family. My name is Mahdi. We used to live a peaceful life in our home, which was destroyed by the bombing in this war, destroying our present, memories of our past, and shattering our future. My house, built piece by piece, contained every drop of sweat I shed while working to provide my children with a decent and peaceful life. In an instant, a missile struck and destroyed it, but praise be to God in all circumstances.
After this destruction, I couldn't find a livelihood inside Gaza, nor could we find suitable work, education, or healthcare for human life. Because I care about my children and grandchildren, I want them to live a peaceful life, safely, and in the best condition possible.
So, I decided to create this link to ask for help to leave Gaza for Egypt. The cost is very high, and I cannot afford it. Then, move from Egypt to a foreign country. However, the financial cost of traveling from Gaza is too high for me, estimated at $6,000 per person. Also, my living expenses in Egypt to move to a foreign country also need funding.
My family consists of (Mahdi the father, Elham the wife, Mohammad the son, Saeed the son, Ahlam the daughter, Shareen the daughter, Sandus the son's wife, Ahmed the grandson, Saleh the grandson). My family is all I have in this world, and I fear for their survival in Gaza. Asking for your help is the only way I have to save my family's life and future. Your assistance may become our hope when hope is far from us in these circumstances. Every dollar you can donate may save a life, bring hope to weary hearts, and save the future of this family.
Please do not read this story as a tragic tale. I'm here to ask you to prevent it from becoming more tragic and to help us start our lives anew. I'm here to ask for your help, not your sympathy, to ask you to take action, whether by donating or sharing this with anyone you know who can help. Please read this with your heart and take action as if it were your family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am a person who wants to evacuate my uncle Mahdi family from Ga… Mohamed Jadalhaq needs your support for Help me to be able to move from w

Michael speaks Spanish & Filipino because of his mothers, right? (Just hear me out.) So what if, he mostly speaks English and stuff but sometimes with his mothers, or just when he's like first waking up or is angry, he slips into Spanish or Filipino and Jeremy has just. Because used to it. He's been over to Michael's house enough and watched him enough to know that's just watch he does, and maybe, over the course of 12 years of friendship Jeremy has started to pick up random phases/words here and there.
One day his dad walks in while Jeremy is trying to fix the internet and he's just, like, cussing this thing out in Spanish. "¿Por qué esta maldita cosa no funciona?". And Mr. Heere is just deeply confused and walks away.
Or him and Christine are running lines and he just drops "¿Por qué no puedo entenderlo?" and Christine is just confused as all hell as well. Doesn't say anything, but she's still confused.
Or he just randomly drops a Filipino word in the middle of an English sentence and doesn’t notice it, but Michael doesn't notice it either cause he's used to his mothers and himself doing the same thing in day-to-day life.
And Jeremy just learns more and more until suddenly he knows three different languages without even trying cause he's just at the Mell house so much, plus he probably lives with Michael at college, so he just suddenly knows English, Spanish, and Filipino.
HIYAAA!! :3:3 I decided to draw Christine in a (( kind of, I tried my best in doing it )) scene style and clothes!!!
I decided I should try to change the poses for once, AND, this is the first time I drawed some piercings, I decided to add them bcuz they looked cute! :3 (( btw I looked 4 the animal print background on pinterest, also I used so much green because I feel it's Christine'sfav color, I think it is bcuz of the green dress with the white flower with an smile in the middle ))
