hi everyone!! id like to bring your attention to this group of queer refugees located in a camp in Gorom, South Sudan.
i came in contact with Goret, one of the lesbians from the camp, and she told me about how terrible their situation at the moment is.
if short, they lack funds for meals, poor medication/shelter conditions/beddings.
they also face physical threats due to homophobia and some of the members already have been severely injured because of the attacks.
their campaign is getting barely any traction, so id love if you guys could share, donate, and talk about it. lets help Goret and her fellow camp members to raise funds for survival! even small donations of $5 will mean a lot!
they're currently at $5 out of $4000 goal!
Goret's blog where you can see more photos of their current situation - @goret97
here is their gofundme page w/ protected donations!
My other promotion lists
Note: I do not often make posts for campaigns I am not focusing on, and I won't be updating this. I encourage others to adopt this campaign (because I can't right now) and make sure it gets the traction it needs.

Summary: The Ashour family's 2 young children are traumatized as they've grown up knowing nothing but war. They all deal with inhospitable living conditions, but their youngest daughter (9 months old) is particularly at risk of disease (like polio) as she was born during displacement and received inadequate healthcare and vaccinations.
Current progress:
Campaign/family details:
This campaign involves Maram Ashour, her husband, and their 2 young children Amir (3 years old) and Hoor (9 months old)
Funds are used for evacuation so the family can live a peaceful, dignified life.
The family live in a cloth tent that provides inadequate protection from the elements. My note: Many Gazans worry about the approaching cold weather.
Food is scarce whereas disease and insects are plentiful.
The family were displaced south of Gaza to the city of Deir al-Balah. During this, Maram had a difficult pregnancy and childbirth. Hoor was born in December.
She received inadequate birth healthcare and vaccinations. My note: This puts her at risk of polio like many other Gazan babies, which can be lethal.
Both children's lives are accompanied by constant bombing and explosions. Amir is terrified by them and has intense crying attacks when he hears them.
Maram asks "Don't my children have the right to live with dignity in a healthy environment and a stable life like the rest of the world's children?"
I was pregnant when the "war" first started and i gave birth amidst it. I have been crowdfunding for pretty much a year, and is now 25,000 USD away from my goal. Pls reblog/share/DONATE 🇵🇸👇
https://gofund.me/12b57c74
But as i gave birth and the load got heaver as i have my first ever baby but my newborn have suffered enough in the tent in heat and she has skin disease and we treated it at the medical area in the camp and she has been sick before and we did the same🥹
As the winter coming and the tents do nothing to protect us specialy my newborn❤️🩹
So i made this account so we could live a suitable life
I once again am asking for your attention everyone. @aymanqandeel17, Ayman Qandeel has reached out to me for help for donations. I cannot donate, but I will share his fundraising campaign with you.
Ayman Qandeel is an engineer in Gaza, and used to work at his father's engineering office before the war, but it had been destroyed with everything in it during. His family consists of seven members, and now he wishes to evacuate in order for their future.
Ayman needs $50k, $35k for each person to leave Gaza, $14k for housing expenses, and $1k for the transaction fees. Unfortunately, his campaign sits at only €169 over the 50k he needs.
Here is his Go Fund Me, share/reblog, and if you can please donate the $5+ you would use for a drink or snack to his campaign.
He is Vetted in the GazaVetters Document here, #58:
Let's help Mahmoud's family! :D
Before I begin, let me tell you how amazed and happy I am at the support you've given AND been giving to Bilal's fundraiser! (@shadowyavenuetaco)
Today, I would like to ask you to come and support another fundraiser... Mahmoud's!
Who is he?
This is Mahmoud Al Sharif (@mahmoud-sharif), a married man with three children. His wife Soha recently gave birth on August 12th, 2024 - just ten days ago as of the making of this post.
The other children in Mahoud's family are Retal (12 years old), Joud (11 years old), Nageh (8 years old), And Yusra (10 days old)
Despite continious challenges along the way, Mahmoud himself was able to start a project of his own, a project that was 12 years in the making...
The bombings took that away from him.
Fear not, though, for not all is lost.
By donating to this fundraiser, you will be able to give safety to a family of six!
This fundraiser has been vetted by @90s-ghost! I have donated 10 euros, could you perhaps Match my Donation?
Tagging for reach!

My little brothers have not comprehended what is happening to them from this humanitarian disaster and we have never lived this life before. We are living the worst tragic moments and hell has not stopped yet.
It breaks my heart to see that the world is such that there is no one to hold the Zionist state and the US empire accountable. The Zionists keep on crying about October 7th and the hostages, and every Western institution keeps on coddling them. There has been no genuine acknowledgement of the fact that the British government implanted an illegal settler colony in Palestine and that settler colony forced the native people out of their homes in 1948. There has been no genuine acknowledgent of the horrors of the Nakba, no acknowledgement of ethnic cleansing, no acknowledgement of the destruction of the land in trying to hide the genocide of 1948 through greenwashing, there has been no acknowledgement of the fact that Gaza has been an open air prison, and that Hamas has every right to push back against the oppression of the Zionist state. Right now another genocide is being carried out in front of our eyes, with enthusiastic encouragement from the Western world, the most complicit being the USA. It was always about re-occupation of Gaza and today the Zionist state violated the ceasefire. I am scared for my friends. I am terrified and I do not know how to help except to keep the fundraisers circulating.
And please keep requesting a refund from both of his gofundme campaigns, that were shut down unfairly by the fundraising site. I do not care how long you have to go back and forth with gofundme on this, but Siraj lost 32k because of the site's callousness and even recovering half of that money would mean a lot. So if you have donated in November, December of 2024 and in January of this year, please request a refund because Gofundme allows requests upto a year. They should by their own policy still have the money with them. Please help by clicking on the links above...
yooo this lowkey made my day somebody saw this in Seattle 😂😂😂
We do not enter or leave our homes as others do, For our feet remain rooted in our land, no matter how fierce the storms. We return, carrying our wounds and our hope, From the burning south of Gaza to its devastated north.
We are like trees whose roots grow deeper as the storms blow. We are the Palestinians, returning to our shattered homes, To rebuild them anew, with stones of resilience and the will to live.
For the homeland is not merely land, but a story we write with our blood, And every step we take over the rubble is a declaration that we remain here. We do not seek refuge, but we create life from amidst the ruins, Because resilience is what makes us different.
