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 he had withdrawn a portion of it to pay for various daily needs, medical care, and rent.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
And now my daughter Najah, just one year and three months old, is trapped with her mother in northern Gaza, suffering from hunger, fear, and homelessness😭 We are separated by war, and I haven’t seen her take her first steps or hear her laugh. Every day without her breaks my heart 💔
Tamim above and Najah below 👇🏻
I’m in southern Gaza, caring for my sick father, my injured brother, and my younger siblings.
I need help to send my daughter food, diapers, and basic necessities—but most of all, I need to get her out of Gaza. I dream of giving her a life free from war, where she can grow up in peace and safety.🙏
Please help me give my daughter the future every child deserves. Every moment counts.
On the morning of October 13th, we woke up to a devastating explosion that shook our neighborhood. As we searched through the rubble for survivors, we heard the faint voice of my younger brother calling from beneath the debris of a nearby house. He was pulled out with partial memory loss and a skull fracture, and every day since, he has endured his pain in silence. The doctors have stressed the urgent need for surgery to remove the shrapnel lodged in his head, but this operation can only be performed abroad.
We humbly ask for your donations to help save my brother’s life and give him the chance to heal. Your generosity can make all the difference.🇵🇸🍉

I have always waited for you so much, my little one, and when you were born, I have not found you since then. Sorry, my little one 😥😥❤️🩹
A child like any other child, was playing and having fun in the alleys of the refuge camp that we he was displaced to
But unfortunately, a missile fell near him 🚀 He lost his life and his soul ascended to the sky 🤲🧚, leaving behind great pain for everyone around him, leaving the ball ⚽️ soaked in blood The story is over...
Is this really what is happening to us!? Maybe it is a dream, but it has happened already in Gaza, my Lord 😥
Save my family, maybe I, my daughter, or one of my family members will be next, I forgive you all, my friends
The moment American planes dropped aid parachutes on the Khan Yunis area near my residential place 🇵🇸🇺🇸
That was painful ⁉️ 🥺🥺
We do not want air or ground aid, we only want to stop the war.. 😞
This is what happened to me while I was going to get some food from air aid, where there was extreme noise and crowding and shooting by monopolists and exploiters 😭
You must find optimal ways to deliver aid to us..
#Stop_the_war
We are being exterminated, O free people, help us, a living dipped in blood 🩸🩸
Here is Gaza, where there is humiliation and humiliation
🚨🚨🚨🔥 How long will my daughter survive the violent bombing of the northern Gaza Strip !!!
Stop the war, please 😭😭
My little daughter and my wife survived during a violent bombing on the beach area of the school where they were staying yesterday 🥺🥺
Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord 🤲🤲

Why is no one talking to me? No one checks on my family anymore. Are we no longer important, the six of us?! When will I find someone to care about us? Will it be when we are bombed or dead?
The people here helped me, and the Tumblr community is wonderful. I love you all.
But no one wants to check on my family anymore. I have four children who live every day in fear, with bombings and death, in a place without sanitation, filled with epidemics and diseases. Even food is now just canned goods. Is a child supposed to live their life here without any sweets or treats?
Are we dead?! Is that why no one answers or asks about us? Or has the world's conscience died, so they don’t think about us or inquire about us?
I created a post telling our story in black and white because my family and I are starting to lose hope. Perhaps someone will look at the pictures and read the story, realizing that this family is on the brink of becoming a memory.
My children, my wife, and I read your comments and your words, and the messages you send. Why have you stopped? No one is standing with us. You know, even internet and electricity here are hard to come by, and we walk a long way to reach a place just to tell you that we are still alive here in Gaza.
We hoped someone would fight with us, try to raise our voice to the world, send our campaign to friends, or even try to adopt our cause and reach out to people, asking them to write and share our story.
If I’m the only one here in Gaza trying to raise my family's voice and save them, I won’t succeed alone.
I'm writing this because I can't do it alone, and I hope you will support me and stand with me.
Just read this with your hearts. My family and I need your support with your own selves, minds, and consciences, not just donations, above all else.
I will attach a picture of my family here, hoping it will make someone look with their heart, talk to us, and say, “I will try to help you.”
I hope to find someone who cares about whether my family and I are still alive.
💔🙏
I hope that they will be able to get back on their feet one day. It won't be now, but one day.
let us take a moment and grieve for all the lives lost. so many thousand people have been murdered by the zionist entity in the last fifteen months. palestinians in gaza have lost too much, from friends and family to their homes and livelihood.
this ceasefire is not an end to our solidarity with gaza. we will all be here waiting and praying for palestine to be wholly liberated from the occupation and watch her people be happy and free.
in the meantime, please keep donating to palestinian fundraisers. it is essential to support families planning on rebuilding.
alaa is a mother of two young children. her fundraiser has been verified. i request you to help her by sharing and donating to her gofundme.
please donate here

Imagine if education were forbidden for everyone, healthcare denied, and homes just distant dreams...
Imagine that travel, visits, outings, play, and the simplest moments of joy became forbidden…
We are now in the second year of this devastating war, where every moment is a fight for survival. The essentials of life security, education, and healthcare have slipped through our fingers, leaving us in a state of despair.
We live in a makeshift tent, vulnerable to the elements. The relentless rains flood our home, and the biting cold seeps into our bones. Illnesses are rampant, and we feel helpless against the threats that surround us. Every day is a battle to provide for our children; basic needs like milk, diapers, and food have become unattainable luxuries. The weight of hopelessness hangs heavily on our hearts, and our dreams for a brighter future seem to fade with each passing day. We are in urgent need of help to navigate this crisis and to bring a glimmer of comfort and stability to our family's life amidst the chaos.
Donation urgently needed
