Perfectlyzealousperfection - Prince Caspian

To be honest I don't know if fundraising is enough at this point but it's the only thing I can do??

Everyone who cares by now already knows things are dire in Gaza. Several weeks blockade followed by bombardment is some sicko sh-t. Things are really expensive and there's just not enough STUFF to go around. Nevertheless, I'm trying to help Hamada and his family raise money for a tent. The latest strikes made impact near their previous shelters and they are injured and internally displaced in Khan Younis. If I keep writing people are just more likely to scroll past so here's the campaign

A Brighter Future for Mohammed

I am Mohammed from Gaza, 21 years old.

I think people might have been passing over this campaign because it's not vetted. I had submitted a request to @gazavetters for him but seeing as how all of Gaza is under assault and the team behind gazavetters are in North Gaza, I don't think they will be able to get to his campaign soon. And I'm not Palestinian nor do I speak Arabic so I can't give you a 100% guarantee in vetting but I will say that I've been chatting with Hamada and his brother on Whatsapp, they have +970 country code numbers, and the IBAN given to me resolves to a bank of Palestine account. If anyone knows anyone willing and able to vouch, please get in touch.

My friend Mahrah (@mahrahpalestine) is an engineering student. She is brilliant and speaks with a clarity of analysis and thoughtfulness (even in a second language, even while living in crisis), that is profoundly impressive and humbling to me. She holds hope that Palestine will be free, and when it is, she will use her knowledge and skill to help rebuild.

Her father lost his job due to the war, and she does not have the money for university fees. The situation for her and other Palestinians is getting more difficult as the duration of the crossing closure increases, and the genocidal famine is leading to sickness and starvation.

Mahrah explained, "Food is missing from the markets. If the food is found, it is usually unhealthy because it contains preservatives and we eat it for a year and 8 months, and this causes diseases. But there are no other options to do without it. My nephews are at risk for my father's and mother's diseases and need healthy food because they are at an advanced age. It's like a famine, but there is no media to cover what's happening. They killed all the journalists."

Donations have been slowing, and she is afraid for her family's health. If you can spare some money to help them, please do.

Mahrah has been so incredibly kind and loving to me in our conversations, even checking in how I've been while recovering from surgery. She has extended so much compassion towards me, and I want to encourage others to extend that same level of compassion towards her.

borders between countries aren't real btw we just made them up. there's no such thing as an "immigrant" we're all just people moving around on the same planet that we've always moved around on
