Thein | they/them or xe/xem, | writer. When asking questions, please name the fic you are asking it about and then any specific characters, or if you're addressing me as the author.
Please continue to send me messages asking me to share, and I hope one day I will be able to contribute to any of your causes, or even just to a reputable charity trying to help you. At the moment, I am struggling with just the money I need to live myself. I'm so sorry. I would give somehow if I had any disposable income, but I don't. I will continue to signal boost every vetted ask for help I get. I've gotten a lot of asks with GoFundMes and the like from Palestinian families and as cowardly as I'm sure it is, I don't have the heart to go through each one and explain how sorry I am that I can't donate. I'm sure you're all sick of hearing that excuse, too, because as much as I need what little money I have right now for my quality of life...yours is undeniably worse than mine, and will continue to be worse than mine. I really am so sorry. Please continue to send me these asks and each one I vet, I will signal boost, and maybe I'll get really lucky someday and I'll find the money to start giving to some of you. I don't even know how much of you will even see this. I really am sorry, but I know that means nothing.
It's with a heavy but hopeful heart that I watch Palestinian families fundraise on here, slowly accumulating the precious little money to go around that they need to survive. However, not everyone is so lucky. A lot of Palestinians that have not had that kind of luck, that did not get early verification, that did not get massive platforms behind them from large bloggers, have approached me in my inbox, asking me kindly to do what I can for them.
It kills me that I have so little to give myself, but I've seen this platform collectively raise enough to change someone's life. I've made a list of Palestinian fundraisers that are extremely low on funds, in the hope that drawing attention to people who have not been lucky at all can help turn that luck around.
I know most of us can't possibly give enough to get all of these families safe in one go. But please, reblog this list. Pick one or two fundraisers, give what you can, and then keep track of it. Slowly, collectively, we can make a difference in these people's lives.
Share and donate as much as you can.
LOW ON FUNDS: Ahmed Halas fundraiser Maher fundraiser Mohammed Alwadiya fundraiser Mohammed Ayyad fundraiser Shady Samir Ashour fundraise
I cannot overemphasize the importance of sharing and donating to the fundraisers on this list. Right now, everyone needs help, everything is expensive and scarce, and fundraisers are some people's only income. People who might be fundraising right now, who can benefit from YOU donating.
This post has stagnated greatly since I made it 4 months ago, but despite that, some people have seen a lot more money than before. Still, the vast majority of people here are underfunded, and some have only a dismal 1% of their goal to their name. If you're someone who has money to order delivery services, or pay shipping fees for online products, or buy coffee before work, or pay for a streaming service, please consider choosing just one or two families off the list and donating the same amount to them just as regularly as you buy those luxuries. If there's anything I want to communicate to people, it's that you are not powerless and your money matters.

-Layan and Sarah drew this during the war and asked me to share it as a thank-you to all of you, Tumblr community.-
These drawings were also made possible because of your support. They were safe and able to draw and dream of hope, simply because you stood by us with your words and donations.
Let it be in my own words: I, Engineer Mohammed from Gaza, write:
My wifeβs first act after the ceasefire agreement is announced will be to walk through the streets, crying.
Layanβs first act will be to visit her school, my cousinβs grave, and my uncleβs grave.
Sarah wants to stay out in the street until midnight, without fear.
Adam wants 100 shekels to buy many things and toys and to visit the beach.
And all of them want to go on a long drive in the car.
As for me, I just want to cry and sleep for a long time.
To cry for dozens of loved ones, and to sleep for the first time without fearβbecause we are truly exhausted.
Heartfelt gratitude:
This photo was taken especially for you.
Since my first day with you in the Tumblr community, you have been my family and the family of my children. No one hesitated to support usβeveryone, without exception. From those who helped by sharing posts and spreading our story, to those who reached out to check on us, supported us with kind words, and many who donated for our sake.
You have been a family to us, and the reason we have remained safe until now. Your support has kept us alive and enabled us to afford basic needs, even with the soaring prices.
Thanks to you, we are closer to safety. My wife, Enas, my daughters Layan and Sarah, my sons Adam and Amir, and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts β₯οΈ.
Now, we are hearing good news about the imminent announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza, as well as the entry of proper caravans for living instead of tents and our destroyed homes. Thereβs also news about more substantial aid being delivered and heavy machinery arriving to rebuild roads and restore life.
Additionally, there are preparations underway to hand over the Rafah border crossing with Egypt under European supervision. We hope this happens soon so that Layan, Sarah, and Adam can return to school and education after traveling.
With your support, we are just a step away from achieving our goal, as mentioned in previous posts regarding financial details and expenses.
We urge you to share this post as a message of gratitude to you all, and as a final push for this campaign so that we can start a life full of hope with you, as you have always been and still are with us.
π A Cry for Help: My Familyβs Struggle to Survive in Gaza π
Hello, my name is Areej Kassab. Iβm a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza, and Iβm reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for support. My family and I are enduring unimaginable hardships as relentless bombings devastate our home and our dreams.
We are a family of 15β10 adults and 5 children. Every day is a battle for survival. Food is scarce, humanitarian aid is not reaching us, and my little nieces and nephews go to bed hungry. Among them is my sister, who is deaf, and another sister who has a newborn baby. They, too, are suffering in this crisis, and Iβm doing everything I can to protect and provide for them.
π A Life in Ruins
The war has robbed us of everything: safety, peace, and even the hope of a future here. My familyβs needs are basic yet criticalβfood, clean water, diapers for the babies, gas for cooking, and other essentials to make it through each day.
With rising prices and limited access to necessities, we are struggling to provide even the most basic items. My sisterβs home has been destroyed, and we are working together to ensure everyone has shelter, food, and warmth.
β¨ My Plea for Your Support β¨
Iβm a writer, and Iβve been documenting the harsh realities faced by my community under siege. But words can only do so much. We need action, and we need help. Your kindness can save us.
π How You Can Help
Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to securing the essentials we desperately need.
Share Our Story: If you canβt donate, please share this post to help us reach others who can.
Your support will help provide food for the children, clean water for my family, and basic supplies to help us survive this unimaginable crisis.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing in solidarity with us. Together, we can create a lifeline for my familyβa chance to live, to dream, and to hope again.
My name is Abdelmajed Elderawi, and I am writing to you from Gaza, where life has become an unimaginable struggle. Our days are filled with uncertainty, and the hope for a better future feels like a distant dream.
The war has left deep scars on my family and me. Weβve endured the heartbreaking loss of 25 loved onesβeach one a light extinguished too soon. Their absence is a pain I carry every day, and I often find myself lost in memories of the laughter and joy they brought into our lives.
Life in Gaza Today:
πΒ Overwhelming Loss:Β The pain of losing so many family members is impossible to describe.
π½οΈΒ Barely Getting By:Β Even basic necessities like food and water are becoming harder to afford.
π Β No Safe Shelter:Β Our homes, once our refuge, now feel fragile and unsafe.
πΒ Dreams on Hold:Β The pursuit of education and opportunities has been replaced by the constant fight for survival.
What We Need:
In these desperate times, even a small gesture can mean so much. A $5 donation could provide us with food or water for a day. If you canβt donate, simply sharing our story could help us reach someone who can.
Your Support Gives Us Hope:
This isnβt just about financial helpβitβs about knowing that someone, somewhere, cares. Your kindness can be a source of strength for us, a reminder that weβre not alone in this fight.
How You Can Help:
π Donate if you can.
π Share this post to spread the word.
π Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Iβm not asking for muchβjust a little hope, a little relief, and a chance to keep moving forward. Your generosity, in any form, can make a difference in ways you might not even imagine.

Imagine waking up in the dead of night to the terrified screams of your child. You quickly turn on your phone's flashlight to find your son's face covered in blood. The source of the injury is even more terrifying: rats have gnawed through the fragile walls of the tent you call home, and viciously attacked your son, causing severe injury to his face.
This isn't just a story. This is the nightmare that Hossam Al-Qazzaz and his family lived, just a few short days ago.
@hananqazzaz
The past year of Hossam Al-Qazzazβs life has been one of unimaginable hardship and resilience. Forced to flee their home in Gaza, Hossam and his family returned to find nothing but rubbleβeverything they had worked for destroyed. With no other option, they pitched a small, humble tent over the ruins of their house, hoping to create some semblance of shelter amidst the devastation.
Life in this fragile tent is a daily battle for survival. Bombings persist, food and water are scarce, and the safety they once knew is a distant memory. One terrifying night, Hossamβs son Bashar was attacked by rats that invaded their tent, leaving him injured and crying for help. Unable to afford medical treatment or secure a proper tent to shield his young children, including a 4-month-old baby, Hossam now faces a dire reality: how to protect his family from illness, hunger, and the constant threats of their surroundings.
Hossamβs plea is simple yet urgentβhe hopes to treat his son Bashar, find a safer tent for his family, and ensure his children can sleep without fear of rats or stray animals. Every donation, no matter how small, can help Hossam rebuild a safer life for his family. Your support could provide the relief they so desperately need and bring hope to a family struggling to survive in unimaginable conditions.
Help Hassan secure safety, medical care, and the bare essentials his family needs to endure this crisis.
Please consider donating to Hossamβs GoFundMe, [HERE].

Continuous events that our family went through in this war. Our house was destroyed and we lost everything we owned. We live in a tent above the ruins of the house, and my father suffered deep burns on his hands, stomach, and thighs He needs treatment. My wife gave birth to my daughter, Habiba, 4 months ago. She needs baby formula, but we cannot provide them. My children, Bashar, Hani, and Donia, need winter clothes, but we cannot provide them Our tent is bad and the mice are always breaking into it. The rats even hit my son Bashar in the face. Most of all, we cannot afford expensive food and bread, so we eat once a day We are in dire straits and no one is helping us. Please donate to us, even if just a little. We are suffering and very exhausted

I hope you are well, stay away from wars, and live in peace always. I am Hossam Al-Qazzaz, and we are now living in famine in every sense of the word. We have lost a lot of weight and strength, but we are still struggling to survive, but what hurts us most is our four children who wake up hungry and go to bed hungry, and what makes them happy now is seeing a piece of bread to eat. He eats. Imagine that they do not think about the studies they left, nor about the game they buy and play with. All they think about is food, and what hurts me the most is my daughter. The baby, Habiba, is 4 months old and I cannot buy Pampers for her. It is always wet and susceptible to diseases, like milk. She cries day and night from hunger. $5 may not make a difference to you if you donate it, but it can completely change the course of our lives. Now we don't want a house, nor clothes, nor a lot of money. All we want is for the children to eat and nothing else. Thank you for standing with us. I hope you are always well. Your brother who loves you and owes you all, Hossam Al-Qazzaz.

The Occupation has systematically destroyed every social infrastructure that makes civil society possible, whether it be healthcare, food systems, or education. In an attempt at genocide, they've targeted schools, hospitals, businesses, and every person who supports their community through their profession.
Rana and Ahmed (@ranafam2) are educators from Khan Yunis (Northern Gaza Strip), with Rana as a statistics professor at the Islamic University of Gaza and Ahmed as the principal of his school: both institutions have now been destroyed.
Palestinians have survived occupation for well over a century now, and they will remain steadfast, but they need your support.
In my conversation with Rana, she told me:
"Providing food and drink for my children right now is impossible. A bag of flour costs 1000 shekels ($272) and milk, for my little girl, is 100 shekels ($28). This is the least of what we need.
As for the tent, today my children froze from the cold because the tent is very, very, very worn out. And we drowned when it rained for a while. We couldn't sleep.
Please, if you know someone who can donate to me, I need it very, very much so that I can at least survive."
To help them get through this week, we must raise at least $1000 to cover the cost of flour and milk. The long term goal is $100,000.
I am Heba Al-Dahdouh. I currently live in the completely destroyed city of Gaza. Since the war on Gaza began on 7/1/2024, my family- my father Nasif, my mother Asmaa, and my siblings Khaled, Ahmad, Muhammad, and Malak-have been living in constant fear, crying, and suffering due to shrapnel, shells, and bullets.
We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no homes, no cleaning supplies, and no clothes. My school has been bombed, and my brother Khaled's university is now rubble, depriving us all of education. The war has forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents unsuitable for living, especially in winter.
Every day we live death, terror, and panic a thousand times because of the ongoing bombardment of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the start of the war, we sought refuge at my aunt's house, . Imagine: we have survived imminent death more than 20 times and have been displaced among shelters more than 13 times. My siblings and I have suffered from many illnesses due to malnutrition, and we need medication continuously.

If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,
With your generous donations, even if small, you can save 7 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope.
