"I am Youssef, an 18-year-old young man, and my dreams and hopes vanished in an instant. My family’s house in Khan Yunis was destroyed, and I found myself and my family living in a displacement camp in Deir al-Balah, under the scorching sun, inside a tent swaying in the wind. I wake up every morning to the sounds of waves crashing on the shore, but they no longer mean anything to me—they only remind me of the freedom we lost and the life we once had..."
Hello everyone! As of writing this, Youssef is at $3,877 out of his EXTREMELY ACHIEVABLE $15,000 goal. He has only gotten eight don@tions in the past day. Youssef is asking for $15,000 to support himself and his family, mainly for medicine, shelter, and food, which are hellishly scarce as a manifestation of Israel's genocide. He is only 18 and he is responsible for his family's SURVIVAL. Please take the time to read Youssef's own words on his GFM page, as well as on his tumblr account, @yousefjehad3 . Read them, stare at them, process them. Let them truly sink in. Then, go to his fundr@iser and DON@TE. Every single coin you can spare counts, because everyone's small contributions will snowball into a massive one. None of these fundr@isers reached their goal because of one loaded don0r. It was always a group effort.
And, whether or not you're able to d0nate - SHARE, with your family, your friends, your groupchats, your tumblr followers, so that someone who can will have the chance to see it! If you are on Tumblr, you are able to reblog.
Don't ever think your contributions are useless. They provide material help and are expressions of care during impossibly dire times. Palestinians quantifiably cannot afford your apathy.
Youssef's GFM is vetted. He is shown on line 255 on the Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundr@iser List by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi.

(btw, I've heard that it's not a good idea to tag posts like this with terms such as correctly-spelled 'don@tions,' which is why I'm spelling things as such. I encourage you to refrain from tagging your reblogs with these terms just in case..)
im rarely on this site anymore but when i am i can feel the exhaustion set in.. why do i have a million sideblogs... i am exiting the era of it being that serious.. if i ever post art again it can have a tag yk
hi im yasha and as you may know ive recently been fucked over by life in a lot of ways and my other post has kind of died. im currently uninsured, suffer from catatonic episodes and an array of other health problems alongside having been cut off from my father's financial support and facing physical abuse at home bc of my episodes. i'm mostly trying to survive this month while paying for the medical appointments, and i need at least another 140€ for the electric bill. my girlfriend's family has been experiencing poverty for quite some time, and bills, taxes and debts have really piled up ever since her father's passing. the most realistic number for us to gather for her would be around 300€. i can offer simple doodles and sketches for donations, examples under cut or you can message me. we really need this. please help.
the ice around the city makes it impossible to go out for food safely and my mom is out of work for the next couple days. there probably will be power outages. idk how much the bills are gonna be. please help. comms open.
cant help but notice that everyone helped Markiplier make 21 million at the box office EVEN THOUGH he tried to sell the sinister potion. WHICH IS FORBIDDEN!
I think it is both deeply intriguing and frustrating to see that the beneficiaries of white supremacy are the ones who seemingly know the least about how it functions 😅 But based off of the answers received, I see that this, too, is a purposeful systemic act!
This is going to potentially upset some folks but... I'm not arguing about it. Please feel free to remove me if this is too much. 🙏🏾
Sidebar: A lot of you mentioned that racism is deeply tied with classism in your countries- that is not something that isn't true here 😅 sounds worse where you are, fr. But racism is fundamentally tied to classism because racism was invented to justify economic exploitation without immorality (slavery and genocide/land theft). Tis why you'll never deconstruct class without deconstructing race!
There's a pattern that was contained in all your answers specifically (and I read all of them, I promise!) Someone mentioned it as "white colorism", and I want to point out what it is you're seeing- and it's still white supremacy. It comes back to how I tell y'all all the time that Blackness isn't just a skin color- to an extent, neither is Whiteness. It's a class and social designation. Whiteness, and the power that comes with, is relative.
So to use that person's example (which I appreciate, btw!), if your Greek or Southern Italian cousin travels up to Finland or Sweden, they're not going to be treated 'as white' as their Northern counterparts, right? Their Whiteness is not as powerful amongst fellow (and ✌🏾more White✌🏾) peers. That was purposefully considered during the creation of race by the way! There is absolutely a hierarchy of which white is deemed ✌🏾better✌🏾, e.g. the terminology of White Anglo Saxon Protestant (WASP). Even amongst Whiteness there are tiers!
But if I take that same Italian or Greek person, that✌🏾lesser✌🏾white, and put them in Vietnam or Thailand, in the United States, in the Congo or in Rwanda, in Brazil or Argentina, guess what they still hold on to? That Whiteness! That Whiteness that was near powerless when you were amongst your own, now becomes a source of perspective and power. The (ongoing) genocide of the Americas, the (ongoing) carving of Africa, the (ongoing) brutalization of Asia didn't happen just because Europeans thought they were better countries individually, it happened because they thought they were more human and entitled to bodies that were less than!
So yeah. Sorry. It does matter. How you are perceived, and if you are perceived through that lens of Whiteness- no matter how you, yourself identify- absolutely affects how you will be treated. I could deny my Blackness day in and out, and it wouldn't matter because that's not a call I get to make. Y'all have designed this shit ass system that won't let me 🤣 It affects how you're treated in Europe, and it affects how you're treated outside of it. White supremacy is a deeply violent, deeply illogical system and I'm sorry we all have to deal with it 😅 but until we dismantle it, we do.
just found out that there is a sudanfunds website! like gazafunds, it is a compilation of funds for people facing genocide
edit: i've added the correct link to this version of the post. if at all possible, please try to reblog this version or direct back to it. for some reason, the original sudanfunds link i put is now defunct. the correct site is still called sudanfunds and is now back up, and that's what is now on this version of the post. hope this makes sense
ENOUGH WITH THE PROTEIN MARKETING! PROTEIN POPCORN THIS PROTEIN WATER THAT NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS 50G OF PROTEIN OK. WHERE IS THE FIBER. WHERE IS IT. WHERE IS IT?????
ESLAM FAMILY GOFUNDME DELETED, PLEASE DONATE TO NEW LINK
"I am Eslam from Gaza, 30 years old, a mother of two girls, and eight months pregnant. I used to work as a children's teacher, and my husband, Rasmi Abu Al-Rish, was a businessman before all his projects and the branches of his three centers in Gaza, Khan Younis, and Rafah were destroyed.
We lack the most basic necessities of life. We suffer from malnutrition and high prices. My daughter, Alma, needs milk and diapers. I need medicine, tonics, and nutritional supplements amid the famine and malnutrition we are suffering from. I hope that everyone who can donate will help me and my family."
Last year, I made a post in support of Eslam and her family, but she sadly is still in dire need of aid. The campaign link of my old post is outdated, please support her in the new one. Every donation counts.
As of 7:50pm September 23, 2025 (GMT+8) only $156 raised out of $25,000
