Funds for Haiti and Haitian Americans

A Haitian American woman with long Covid and her daughter with cancer have both been struggling to raise funds that would help them during their illnesses. Both of them live in the Midwest, which is where a lot of the most recent fear mongering has been centered.

COJEHA is a Haitian organization that provides financial support for youth, teaches agricultural skills, helps ensure children attend school, and teaches other soft life skills. They're working on building a farm with fish and vegetable crops where teaching occurs, which will also increase local access to fresh food.

P4H Global is the organization that has been working on building the canal connected to the Massacre River, another agricultural project. They have also been working to support education in Haiti, with both teachers and students.

The Haitian Community Center in Springfield, Ohio. Springfield's food bank, community health center, and a local Catholic organization that provides aid are also accepting donations.

Richard Pierrin is a journalist who has had to flee Haiti and is trying to get a visa that will allow him to work, and that doesn't end after 3 months.

Marc Henry and his family have been dealing with food insecurity for months, and are trying to get funds so they can eat, as well as supplies like livestock and fishing equipment so they can sustain themselves even after the fundraiser is done. They're close to their goal.

An elderly couple's home was damaged multiple times over the last few years and they are trying to raise funds to finish construction. They are also very close to their goal.

A fundraiser for children in Jacmel to provide food, water, and clothes.

A fund for several families to secure plane tickets out of the country

OTRAH is an organization that helps trans Haitians and wants to expand their services to combat HIV. They don't have a gofundme, instead donations are discussed over email.

There is also this thread of Haitian gofundmes which updates fairly regularly

This document explaining the leadup to where we are now also names some organizations that could use financial support

Maybe you don’t say it but if you’re not consumed with outrage for the fact that Israel has been acting with complete impunity and genociding not only Palestinians but now Lebanese people as well then you don’t care and you think death is inherent to Arab identity and the sheer injustice of it all doesn’t rattle you enough to even be moved by the horrific atrocities that it commits every day

[stuckinapril]

Genuine fuck you from the bottom of my heart to anyone who thinks this is Arab people’s “normal” tbh. I was conditioned growing up to think Arab lives are worth less than other others just by virtue of being Arab, and it disgusts me to my very core that people’s dispositions to this ongoing genocide only prove that people think that . Arab lives are not a statistic. You don’t get to look the other way because you’re slightly uncomfortable. And people will say I’m inventing shadows but if anyone really truly cared then Israel would not have been able to do whatever the fuck it wanted for so long. So if you were ever complicit in Arab bloodshed - you are the problem and I blame you wholeheartedly. That’s the truth

[stuckinapril]

Also people have been saying for the longest time that this was shaping up to be regional and trigger finger idiots on here called them “dramatic” like um you don’t know anything ….. especially if you’re not Arab. You literally don’t know shit. This has been happening for a long time. I cannot imagine how emboldened these genocidal maniacs are to be doing whatever the fuck they want rn, and ofc eventually my relatives and many others’ will be/have been in the crossfire. So you have no right to dictate if anyone is being “dramatic” or not like how many Arab genocides will it take to prove no one truly cares and this will continue getting worse

#‘if they really truly cared israel wouldn’t have gotten away with doing whatever it wants for so long’ tea 🥲 #my parents would tell me not to mention where i came from whenever possible if asked. like esp the specific country #syria is a beautiful place with deep roots and rich history. same with lebanon. and palestine ofc. #i hate that i can’t say ‘syrian’ without someone here immediately thinking abt ISIS or al-assad #seeing people banned or removed from places for just the keffiyeh or flag. #like traditional wear or the country itself makes a political statement. we just want to be ourselves and proudly #they say palestinian/arab blood is ‘cheap.’ it makes me so sad

@sabrsiren !! Your tags are so important

being convinced your keys are in your backpack because when you shake it you can hear them but upon closer inspection it's just a really small foley artist imitating your keys with a piece of glass and a crumb
