my friend siraj abudayeh (vetted on line 219), who i've posted about frequently, has been fundraising for his family's daily survival since june of this year. read more about him here, here, and here. follow him here: @siraj2024. he is a journalist who writes frequent updates about the situation in gaza, and it is always better to get the story from the source than filtered through a western lens.
as of about a week ago, he had raised over $90,000 CAD / $64,000 USD. he had withdrawn a portion of it to pay for various daily needs, medical care, and rent.
his fundraiser had been under investigation for a few weeks and the organizer, his cousin, even sent all of their government IDs to verify that they are real people.
gofundme has a pattern of baselessly investigating and terminating fundraisers benefiting palestinians, often waiting until the campaign has reached the end of its goal to terminate it and refund all donors, leaving the refugees in the dust.
in the hopes of continuing to keep his family alive while unchecked capitalism and gang violence in gaza are on the rise, and in the midst of constant bombardment, displacement, and death, siraj has opened another gofundme. this fundraiser is in his sister's name, and is being organized by a trusted friend of his who lives abroad. we hope it will not be met with the same fate as the old one.
thank you

My name is Hossam Al-Bardawil. I lost my entire family, and all that remains is the rubble of my home and my nieces and nephews who survived with me. In one moment, my life changed forever, yet I try to stay strong for those who are still with me.
My fundraising campaign has been paused for a while, and now I’m asking for your support and to share my campaign everywhere. I cannot continue without your help. Any donation or even sharing my campaign could be the reason we are able to survive and keep going.
Thank you to everyone who will stand by me during these difficult times.🙏
moomi thinks you're awesome
sorry you just “cant see” aromantic headcanons for your blorbo. sorry your eyes never evolved to behold true color. im like a shrimp i can see every shade of the aromantic spectrum but you’ve got stupid human eyes and you can’t keep up with my beautiful shrimp colors. sorry that i know your blorbo better than you
Have u heard about the flotillas departing now/soon for palestine
yes!!! i think everyone should learn about the freedom flotilla, which is setting sail for gaza very soon and needs to have eyes and ears on it, as israel has a long history of attacking, raiding and occaisonally killing humanitarian workers on aid ships to gaza, as they did in 2010 with the first freedom flotilla (because that's how long Gaza has been under siege)
here's an interview with journalist and lawyer dylan saba, who is setting sail on it and is a good person to follow to learn more about it:
and this is their website:
remember to follow and check #freedomflotilla on twitter in the coming days.
