While I could use my own words to share this message, it feels most appropriate to let this woman speak for herself.
If you want to be a part of something great that's going to help people, stop scrolling!
Read this for about a minute:
In short. This woman, Naima(@naiemasblog) is struggling beyond what many of us could ever imagine.
You don't need to be a mother to imagine how desperate to save her children she is. Her family has 17 members. Would you not go to the ends of the earth to help your own family in this position?
If you would, then you understand why we need to help her do the same!
We can do this by donating to her campaign, linked on her account.
However- if you can't donate, there are other ways to help.
• You can make a post -like this one- promoting their GoFundMe. I myself don't have much to offer, but it doesn't take money to show you care and do your part, ANYONE can do this. You don't need a big account either. Reaching ONE person is better than NO ONE. What if the ONE person who sees your post has the funds to help?
•if you know someone who can help, ask if they'd be willing to donate. It can't hurt to ask. They might be educated by your request, and you're still doing your part. Even minors, you can ask your parents.
•repost their posts. If you're not willing to make your own post, or if you wanna get their account more revenue, reposting can help aswell. You can also add tags when you repost, which helps boost.
And if you DON'T know what's going on in Palestine, but you want to know, here's a summary!
(Please understand that I am NOT an expert and you will not find an expert on Tumblr. For more solid information, do your own research. This is not meant to substitute research, but instead catch people briefly up to date so they can comprehend the urgency of this very troubling reality that people face and understand why we need to help. )
People in Palestine have been under the thumb of Israel attacks because of the war against Palestine and Israel. Israel's side of the war is using lethal force against Palestinian people and bombing towns full of citizens. This has been going on for months and months. So much bombing has taken place that almost everywhere is destroyed. The Gaza Strip is one of the last places people can go for any kind of refuge, and even now, there's still bombing taking place. There's hardly any refuge or food, the hospitals are suffering due to limited power, and many people do not have the money to leave. That is why they need our help. Outside of Gaza, there are refugee stations and help centers to help shelter the escaped Palestinians, but they have to get there first. And in order to do that, they need someone to help get them the money, that's where we, as people outside of Gaza- many of us living in America which actively funds Israel- come in! It's our time to do something, and all of us are able to do something even if it's small.
If you made it this far, please repost, at the very least. Let's help get the message out and help Naima!
