With my birthday coming up this month, there is only one thing I can ask for…
My friend Ahmed has been struggling under the Israeli occupation of Gaza for nearly 2 years. At the moment, he is living in a tent on the streets. His sister and her children are in the North, where it is especially dangerous.
Ahmed needs money urgently to support his family, who are stuck in a known danger zone. The best way to support him at this time is to donate and to share his fundraising campaign.
Please donate to the PayPal, as there are no fees associated with it and the money will be made available to Ahmed immediately.
A GoFundMe is available, but it will add significant fees and it will take longer to reach Ahmed.
Ahmed is verified by @90-ghost and has taken the extra steps to show multiple forms of personal identification information to me and to GFM representatives, who vetted him closely for the contents of his campaign.
His identity is verified by GFM and by confirmed Palestinian vetters.
🍂 90-ghost is a Palestinian blogger who tries to find and support legitimate campaigns.
🍂 Donations on Gofundme can be refunded for a Year so giving is low risk.
🍂 Donations on PayPal can be as low as 1$.
🍂 Donating and Sharing helps even more!
🍂 Shares help reach more donors.
🍂If you can, do Both. If not. STILL SHARE - It can help this reach someone who Can donate.
🍂There's always a way to help and no action is too small.
Help a man from Gaza get medical treatment for his father?
Ahmed Mazen Hammad ( @mazen-fmaily ) is from Gaza, and needs our urgent support. Donations are slow, and need to pick up momentum.
As stated in this post (by @ana-bananya), Ahmed's father has multiple illnesses, like hepatitis, heart and kidney disease.
He needs daily medice and life support - daily dialysis treatments and oxygen to keep him alive and as healthy as possible. This is difficult in Gaza, as hospitals are desperately low on supplies, and are crowded and repeatedly targeted.
Now, $400+ is needed for and urgent liver resection. Ahmed dosen't want to lose his father, and if we reach this goal, it can litterally save his life.
They also need food in water, but due to the Israeli occupation being cruel and inflicting genocide and humiliating conditions, that is a heavy task.
While going to one of the "aid" centres, where soldiers have confessed to firing at civillians, Ahmed's foot was severely injured, and he needs surgery to reconnect the tendons in his leg. His leg risks amputation.
Imagine being the sole one responsible for your father, relying on a slow fundraiser to pay for your father's much needed treatment, and becoming disabled because you tried to look for desperately needed food. All of this on top of the terrible conditions on Gaza and threat of airstrikes. We cannot even fathom these experiences.
Please, donate. Please either use chuffed $8,702 / $40,000 raised
or PayPal, but when using PayPal, please specify that the money is for Ahmed, since this PayPal is being used to deliver to multiple different families.
Your donation lights a dark path, and anything you can spare will help. If you have the funds, donate. If you don't, you most likely know someone who does. If everyone who sees this contributes, you will help save a life. Be part of his story.

We are a small family consisting of 3 members. We lived a beautiful life. I worked as a lawyer and my husband worked in programming. We lived in peace and security before October 7, but since that time we have not lived a single fine day. We were in our house at the beginning of the war, but We have Ahtaho Khan Yunis. We were the first people to leave. There was artillery shelling over our heads. Many died before our eyes. We escaped death and ran away more than 7 times while we were in Rafah and made tents.. Now we are in a tent after we were living a good life and we have a beautiful house. But unfortunately, the occupation has destroyed it. We are dying every second and every minute. If it is not from the occupation, then it is from living in a tent made of nylon in this extreme heat, or from the high prices through which we are unable to buy the simplest necessities of life. My child is exposed to many diseases and gets very tired. I appeal to those with good hearts to look at our situation, how we were and how we have become
I hope you see my account and see what we are suffering from, a new displacement and new tents. We are now sleeping in the street, me and my little child. He is suffering a lot. I don't know what awaits us. Our situation is very bad and difficult. It is truly tragic. I hope you help us with your donations, even if they are small. Don't forget us. We are in a difficult situation and my little child cannot bear it. I wish I had given him a better life than this, but he is not well now. He cannot enjoy his life or play like other children. He has become very afraid and cries a lot. I hope you help us and give us hope again. We need you and your constant support. I hope you look at us again and feel what we feel and what we live. Perhaps your donations will be the reason for saving my life and the life of my little child. I hope you always remember us and do not forget us.
Asking for help is not easy .l request a small donation of $ 10 or $25 from each person .$20 will save my family and help me cover travel expensesx
Donate even £5, even if it is small, it does a lot for us, helps us stay alive and gives us hope to continue our lives and that we can build a new life with these donations.

Please,🙏 I beg you, do not let us down. What is happening now is unimaginable and not everything is being broadcast. There is a great cover-up of the crimes that are happening now. It is terrifying. We cannot sleep because of the sound of the planes and missiles. Please be a reason to help me I have to provide food and insulin to be able to survive. If we are attacked by missiles, we may not survive from hunger and lack of medicine and basic necessities. Please do not let us down. Make our voice heard to the world. Please.
Omar's father needs help. I am helping to collect money through paypal, as gofundme takes a larger fee and takes longer to transfer the money.
As I am collecting money for others as well, please add in the notes if the donation is for Omar
$0/1150
Hello again, I am Aseel from Gaza, I live in war, fear and destruction, we have been living for almost a year now but we do not know how long, we have been displaced from our home more than 11 times,
every time I was displaced to another place I prayed that this would be the last, but then came the idea of forced exit to search for safety where there is no safety, we got very tired and our bodies were exhausted, we no longer had the energy to continue, we lived hunger, thirst, cold and all the difficult conditions that humans cannot imagine,
we did not imagine that a day would come when we would live all of this, I lost my family and my childhood home, even my friends are no longer there, I was left alone!! I am looking for salvation from death, I fear death and I dread it, the idea is terrifying to leave your dreams, ambitions and the life you planned for and go from this world, we do not deny death but we do not want to live it now,
I had a beautiful life, suddenly I do not know how I lost my life, we live in a tent that can only accommodate 3 people, made of nylon that no human can bear, just standing in it for more than two minutes during the day is enough to melt you, in addition to insects, diseases and lack of privacy, imagine all this!! Can you live??
In addition, my father had a stroke due to the loss, and my mother also needs care due to chronic diseases and the lack of treatment, and her condition is getting worse. I am the only one who takes care of them. I really fear loss and I do not want to lose, as I lost a large part of my family, my home, my work, and my entire previous life.
Things here are more difficult than you imagined, reality is painful
We wake up every day to the smell of death, I have been surrounded by tanks and helicopters more than 4 times, each time I do not know how to survive? It seems that my death has not come yet
Please help me save my life and get out of here, life is impossible
Your donation will save my life, it is the only way, hand in hand we can achieve the goal please
do you post your art somewhere else? Just saw your goldfinch drawing and whoa! Hope you'll get better soon ❤️
