It is obvious that people are exhausted from seeing fundraisers all over the timeline. There are too many of them and it has been going on for too long. Okay, how about we end all imperialism? How about we hold those responsible accountable? How about we implement ceasefires, with everyone withdrawing, aid entering, and reconstruction beginning? Do we see that, though? No, we do not! ! !
Look at Sudan. The country is waiting for a ceasefire since April 2023, but there has been so many road blocks to get there. From the peace talks to the Russian Federation vetoes ceasefire in November 18, 2024 to the US imposing sanctions on General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti of the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) as well as the General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan of the SAF (Sudanese Armed Forces) in January 2025 to filing a case against the UAE at the International Court of Justice.
Then, in November 2025, the following has been reported by CBC: "Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) agreed to a proposal from the United States and Arab powers for a humanitarian ceasefire and is open to talks on a cessation of hostilities, it said on Thursday in a statement.
This has to be a joke! How is Donald Trump - who has allowed airstrikes in Caracas and captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife - ending the genocide in Sudan? It is ongoing. In fact, the RSF has killed 100,000 civilians in Al Fashir! ! !
Please talk about Sudan. Boycott the UAE, donate to fundraisers and grassroots organizations, and protest in the streets! Consider helping my friend, Randa (@rnd8). She has been raising funds to evacuate her family out of Sudan! Thankfully, we have achieved the goal and her family have reunited with her in Rwanda! Now she needs our support for her cousin, Maryuma, and her two (2) young children, Reem and Rayan. They are in Khartoum, the capital, and they need to evacuate to Egypt!
Verification: Since this is through association, Randa's fundraiser has been shared by Jin (@/jinforjustice on IG), and @/northgazaupdates!
€37,135 has been raised, and the last donation was made 10 days ago! ! ! Please donate and share. Maryuma has 2 young children and they need evacuate out of Sudan as soon as possible!
ALTWhat are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the other 2 million people to die, including me, my family, and everyone I love?
Is there no one on this planet who can stop the Zionist army? Is there no one to speak out? Is there no one to help the two million people dying in all sorts of ways before everyone's eyes? Imagine yourself in my place, your country, and your family being killed, starved, and besieged by this land-stealing state. What would you do if you were in my place?
I don't blame one person; I blame the entire world. I will not forgive anyone who failed to help us, whether by speaking out for justice, supporting us, or in any other way. Her life doesn't belong to anyone. We deserve to live like the rest of the world's people, and Israel and America have no right to control us whatsoever.
I am one of two million people struggling to survive this genocide, along with my loved ones, and to live a peaceful life. Therefore, I implore you to help me. Donate without hesitation; your donation will help me more than you can imagine. I live in rented accommodation, and the monthly rent is very high, not to mention the cost of food and drink. Please, give me a donation that will help me achieve my dream. Please help me.
Nader is a young man in the prime of his life. He has endured unbearable conditions in Gaza. Please help him and donate to his cause. Forgo the cost of his lunch today and donate to Nader. Your donations will greatly help him and his family survive. Please donate.
Even sharing helps. Please, my friend, stand by me. I need your donations to help my family and buy medicine for my father. He has cancer and is suffering greatly. He needs urgent surgeries. Please help us. Donate, please. We want to live. Please donate.
Nader needs us!!!! Anything you can give, any way you can share, is both deeply appreciated and desperately needed. Even a $5-10 donation is tangible help, it all adds up. Please give him and his family a chance at life in dire circumstance. Love you guys.
Match my $20! Crowdfunding is the only concrete thing we can do to help Nader (and others in Gaza) survive and build a new life. Do what you can !
Please donate to us Please
Only 600 euros, please, please don't ignore me, please help me, please donate to us, we desperately need help, please donate
We heard in the weather forecast that there will be heavy rain in Gaza tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, and I've been trying since this morning to buy wood and tent covers so I don't get flooded by the rainwater.
It's very expensive, and all the solutions are temporary; there are no permanent solutions except for the house.
My tent shakes a lot in the wind and blows away – and that's just from the wind, so what will it be like in a low-pressure system?
To everyone, I say please donate and share this post.
Today's target is 56.216/58.900🙏🙏🫂
“She was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her. She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight.”
— Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston
