These might be my last words, or the last time I write a post, so I won't forgive anyone who sees this and doesn't offer a single word of support, ignoring me.

ahmedaldani333

I'm writing this while writhing in pain, my eyes constantly overflowing with tears. I can't take it anymore. I'm completely exhausted from severe anemia, the fainting spells I'm experiencing, and the exorbitant cost of the medication I need.

ahmedaldani333

All I care about is getting rid of these fainting spells and the constant pain. Please help me buy my medication so my body can recover and I can move on with my life.

ahmedaldani333

Please donate if you can. Your donation will enable me to buy my medication, save my life, stop the fainting spells, and end the constant pain.

thatdiabolicalfeminist

Please donate what you can to help Ahmed with his urgent need for food and medication!!

Giving up a coffee or treat to help this young person and his family survive might feel pretty good, please just try it!

closet-keys

Please help Ahmed! No young person should have to endure such pain and hunger. He needs nutritious food and medicine!!

ahmedaldani333

Please, everyone, help me with donations. I only received 5 euros today. I feel extremely discouraged and like I'm in my final moments. Please help me with donations so I can survive this illness. Please help me reach my goal of 14,000 euros. Please donate.

Something happened two days ago that I still can’t believe. It brought us a kind of warmth we haven’t felt in a long time...

I wanted to share something with you today. Something that brought me a kind of happiness I have not felt in a very long time. Two days ago, I received a message that was the most beautiful thing to happen to me in two years of war in Gaza. Despite everything we are living through, it touched me in a way I did not expect. It brought joy to me, to my family, and to my children. My new friend Harlow’s words carried a power that reached our hearts and reminded us that we still matter to someone out there.

I obtained permission from my friend Harlow to share this conversation and these photos with you.

nourasbasha

Believe me, we all need someone to mend the cracks in our hearts. We need honest words from pure-hearted people. Words that remind us of our worth and give us the strength to keep fighting in order to survive. And we are truly grateful that we survived long enough to hear such words. I wanted to share this message with you because some words have a value beyond measure, and happiness sometimes arrives in the form of a simple message that restores the spirit.

nourasbasha

There is something else in my heart that I want to tell you. I truly love this place and all of you here. The Tumblr community holds a special place in my heart. The people here are incredibly kind, with hearts so wide and full. How is it that you help strangers like us, people who do not share your religion, your country, or any family bond with you? How remarkable are those who donated to us simply because they felt we were in need, without even speaking to us.

nourasbasha

It was not only the kindness of that fan, nor the crowd that rose for Palestine, who were the heroes. When I watched that moment, my eyes filled with tears because I remembered all of you. You are heroes too. You have always stood with us, and we are grateful that we survived to hear such words.

anqerr

How much we all need words like these... My friend Mohammed made me cry... I ask you all to support my friend Mohammed, his wife Inas, and their children... Your support is our hope for survival.

In Gaza City, if you do not leave by truck, you will leave by shroud. There is no time.

Hello, it's @schoolhater. Siraj has given me his Tumblr account so that I may update you all on his situation.

He has been unable to access Tumblr for the past few days because he has been stuck in western Gaza City, right in the middle of the heaviest wave of bombing since the genocide began. I sent him the QR code for an ESim, but they require a stable internet connection to activate, so I don't know when he will be able to come back online.

Please read about his current situation in his own words. Here is a text message he sent me on Monday, Sept. 15 (emphasis and punctuation mine--he wrote this in a hurry):

The impact of nuclear missiles is devastating [according to] reports in the neighborhood we are in; from the severity of the strike, the ground shakes under us and lava comes out and then everything explodes.

Here is a message he sent me yesterday (Sept. 18):

What my family and I are going through now is one of the hardest days of the war, the atmosphere here is very terrifying, in the area we are in now there are only a very few families left only 5 families and they are preparing to leave, for us it is very difficult to leave because the transportation costs have increased a lot from a week ago, the transportation by shipping cost $500 today the transportation price is $2000 it is possible that next week the shipping owner will not be able to reach our area at this time we will leave without carrying our belongings of mattresses, blankets, covers and the supplies that we have with us, we will start from scratch again if we can leave alive.

And here is a message he sent me today (Sept. 19):

The occupation is getting very close to us. In a few days, if we do not leave, we will be besieged and will leave here in shrouds.

Siraj has begged for his survival on this website for over a year. I don't know he does it. I don't know how to inspire people to donate other than to lay out the situation as plainly as possible: we have money; Siraj's family does not; Siraj and his family will die without money. Never before has that fact been more urgent than it is right now.

There is no time for pity or begging. Siraj does not have time unless he can afford to evacuate.

As Siraj said, the transportation cost alone is $2500USD. He has received five donations in the past 24 hours, but that's not nearly enough. He will die if he cannot raise money to evacuate.

Please donate, share, and follow this account for more updates on Siraj's fundraiser.

His fundraiser is vetted on line 219.

My name is Osama Radwan and I raise money for my friend Siraj, a former journalist from Gaza who lost his job at the beginning of the war, h

Chuffed is a trusted fundraiser host and supporter of Palestine.

guldaastan

im really scared when i think about the long term consequences of the current famine in gaza. children are not eating enough. they cannot afford to eat enough. it's terrible how there's food rotting on the other side of the border in aid trucks while children are dying of malnutrition.

im especially scared about the infants and the disabled. children born in this genocide only know the constant sound of bombing. it's very terrible.

if you can, please consider donating to nour, mother of mohammed, a disabled child and mona, a little baby girl. the family needs all the support they can get to feed the children. the fundraiser is verified.

help youssef restore his e-sim!!

hello all. i think a lot of us take internet connection and cell service for granted, myself included. the fact that we can just take our phones out in most places and be able to communicate with those around us is a huge privilege.

my friend youssef ( @yousefalyazjii1 ) is in gaza right now, and he doesn't have the luxury of an internet connection. to go online, he has to walk away from his family to a special hotspot that is constantly in danger of being targeted by israel. he also has to pay to charge his phone.

he has an e-sim for his phone, but it needs to be re-activated, and this process costs around $200 USD. without it, he relies on this internet spot and cannot communicate with his family, all of whom have been scattered around gaza.

i am collecting donations for his e-sim through my paypal. if you are able and willing to donate, please dm me for my paypal link. if you can't, a reblog is deeply appreciated. i am starting with $50 of my own money; even $5 can make a difference. i will take commissions for e-sim donations. please help my friend communicate with his family.

$50 / $200 USD

Rebuilding What Was Erased – A Message from Abedmajed in Gaza

My name is Abedmajed, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.

In a single missile strike, we lost over 25 members of our family. They were not just names. They were mothers, daughters, sons, grandparents — people we shared meals with, laughed with, and built dreams with.

The missile hit our family home — the heart of everything we knew.

Among those killed were: 🕊️ My mother 🕊️ My sister 🕊️ My older brother His wife and their three daughters 🕊️ My uncle, his wife, and all their sons and grandchildren

We were left with nothing but rubble and grief. Yet somehow, my brother and I survived. And now, we carry the responsibility of rebuilding what was taken — not just for ourselves, but for our father, our surviving siblings, and the memory of those we lost.

💔 Why We’re Fundraising

This campaign is not just about survival. It’s about rebuilding a future — A family home, a shared life, a place where our father can rest safely, Where the next generation of our family can grow up knowing peace instead of trauma.

💬 The funds raised will help us:

🏗️ Rebuild our family home — which was completely destroyed 🛠️ Provide basic support for our father and siblings 🏡 Create safe, livable conditions for a family shattered by loss

🔒 How the Funds Are Managed

Due to the collapse of Gaza’s financial system, all donations are processed through my brother, who has a U.S. registered Stripe account. Funds are securely transferred to Gaza and distributed in cash here on the ground. We are transparent and ready to provide proof of every step.

🌱 Why Your Support Matters

We are not asking for charity. We’re asking for a chance to stand again, To rebuild something we can pass on to the children who survived.

Vetted By @gazavetters No:537

My name is Abedmajed Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.

Your support gives us the strength not just to remember the ones we lost — but to honor them by continuing.

💬 If you can’t donate, a reblog means the world. 🕊️ From Gaza, with hope and dignity — thank you.

To the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈 — from a father in Gaza 🇵🇸

We live in Gaza, under siege, under constant fear — and now, under famine. 😔🍞

Last night, my little daughter, Alma 👧, cried herself to sleep. She whispered, “Daddy, I’m hungry…” 😢 But I had nothing to give her. Not even bread. Just pain. Just silence. 💔

There is no food here. The Israeli occupation 🚫📦 is blocking aid, food, and basic necessities from reaching us. There is no clean water 💧, no electricity ⚡, and now — a famine is killing our people, especially our children 🧒👶.

I am writing to you — the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈 — because I know many of you understand what it means to be marginalized, to be forgotten, to be denied basic dignity 🕊️. You have known pain, and you have built communities based on love ❤️, care 🤝, and survival 🌈.

We are not asking for much. We are asking for the right to live 🌍, to feed our children 🍲, to survive this siege 🚧.

💔 Please, if you are able — donate. 📤 If you can’t, just share this message. Let it reach someone whose heart is still open. ❤️‍🩹

From Gaza 🇵🇸 — to every LGBTQ+ soul 🏳️‍🌈 who believes in humanity 🫶: Thank you for seeing us. For hearing us. For not turning away. 🙏

tbh I really dislike how aphobia tends to be discussed whenever there's some kind of incident that makes it visible to general society. The most common response seems to be some variation of "why would anyone hate asexual/aromantic people, they aren't even doing anything" and it just always sits wrong with me. It paints such a passive picture of our existence and feels like a comment influenced by the level of invisibility that aspec people have in society. Why would you be annoyed by someone who is practically invisible? Just go back to ignoring their existence, it's easy!

But despite the invisibility, aspec people are actually doing quite a lot of things that will piss off queerphobic, right-wing and religious people (and hell, even left-wing people). And the most obvious point is that we are actively not performing heterosexuality the way they want us to. People who's entire world view is "cis men and women should be in monogamous, heterosexual marriage and have (white) babies" are not going to lean back and say "oh but those asexuals and aromantics are fine". They will also hate our guts, and they will come up with all sorts of reasons, including insinuating we're all secretly into bestiality, or mentally ill, or not human, or attention seeking children. It's just plain old queerphobia, and like all queerphobia, there's no inherent logic to it which you can worm your way out of by "not doing anything".

And like, there's a lot more that aspec people do which people hate. Raising awareness about amatonormativity? People feel attacked, they hate it. Asexual people having sex? Or not having sex? People hate it! Aromantic people being in (seemingly) romantic relationships? People fucking hate it! Aromantic people having sex? Ohh people hate that!!

I guess the existence of aphobia can be confusing when you haven't spent much time thinking about asexuality and aromanticism, but in the end, these are identities that aren't heteronormative and they will be hit with the same or similar bigotry as any other queer identity. I just get tired of this response after seeing it recycled for 10 years without ever seeming to go any further.

Give your support !

EVERYONE(!) I’m blazing this post because at this pace we might barely hit 1,000,000 signatures—or just fall short. PLEASE reblog this post, no matter where you are from, so we can reach as many EU citizens as possible and end this horrible practice!

kingkishou

I'm only saying this for your sake, but objectively, it's not a smart idea to bring politics into normal hobbies. You might lose supporters of your blog just because of your political stance, and that would be terrible since you're so amazing!! It's only a suggestion, but I really reccomend not bringing politics into anything.

guldaastan

the things that we've been forced to manage through crowdfunding websites are insane. victims of a genocide are having to market themselves as someone who is worthy of being saved.

living for more than a year under an active genocide while seeing your oppressors cruelty and disregard for your life increase is so horrendous.

every single person in gaza has lost too much. i don't think everyone must have to share their personal loss in order to be deemed as a person worthy of safety. i think we should try to help those we can see asking for it.

i request you to help alaa and her children. she needs to buy supplies and remain safe. her area was bombed very recently. her fundraiser has been verified.

please donate here

I have just one question:Where are you?Where have you gone, people?I need just one answer.Today, I saw a small child, no older than a year, with an amputated leg.Yes… an amputated leg.I felt sorrow for him, but the first thought that struck me was:How does his mother feel? How can a mother bear to see her beloved child like this?And his only fault? That he was born in Gaza.

I write a lot because I’m afraid…Afraid that the phrase “The world forgot Gaza, and it died in silence” will take over me.So, I keep writing to you seeking a glimpse of hope, of light, of support.Do you know why?Because I am like a drowning person clinging to a straw.And that straw… is you.You, with your support, your sincere love, your humanity.

Please help a pregnant mother one who waited years to be blessed with a child.Help her… for you are the hope. Or paypal

I trust in your humanity...
