we shouldn't have to feel grateful for so much of this, man. as valuable a virtue as gratitude is, i don't want the world we've made to be one in which my prayer of thanks for anesthesia at the dentist is anything more than a novel acknowledgement, rather than resultant of seeing so many people lack that "privilege." i'm a senior at a polytechnic rn; i don't want to be grateful for the continued existence of the school, the fact of its concrete walls still standing. i don't want to be aware of the fact that the toddlers in my family are in one piece; i don't want a contrary example of limbless infants to live in my mind. the softly-suffered deaths i've mourned have provided more than enough suffering on their own!

but such is the world we've built. while some well-fed mouths in the imperial core shut their eyes and cover their ears and make crude jokes and question whether such suffering really is realistic at all, the virtuous of us, those interested in good, refuse to look away until we've changed it. part of exercising that continued gaze is providence. if your life has ever been happier on account of a living sibling or a standing university or a cat sleeping on your stomach or a warm home, see whether you can't provide for miriam baalou, who, like me, has a tumblr account-- @freepaleatine95 -- and who, younger than i am, has had all of these things taken away as collateral for the continued comfort of the imperial core.

in this empire, whose current is an evil one, even to remain in one place requires discipline, labor, capital. to do good requires even more. but let us work heartily against the worst selfishnesses of our worst ancestors.

the baalous’ campaign has been vetted by 90-ghost, who's work in making palestinian campaigns more legible to outsiders i am grateful beyond words for.

Hi. Mahmoud Baalou reached out to me via DM and asked me to share his story. He, his sister, and his parents are trying to escape the war and find safety in Egypt. His mother and father are both diabetic, making a difficult time even harder. He’s doing everything he can to help his family but he needs your support too. Please donate if you have anything to spare, and if you can’t, please share!

@joculine

Hey everyone.

I'd like to share a fundraiser of importance to me. The Baalou family. They are raising money to try and flee the extreme struggles they are facing living under occupation in Gaza.

One year ago, this family had dreams and aspirations outside of just survival. Now, that is all in disarray.

This fundraiser is organized by a close friend of mine who is in contact with Mahmoud. If you have the funds to donate, please do. You will be helping save a family from hardship.

Additionally, please share this message so we can continue to reach more people.

Thank you for reading. https://gofund.me/f043d190

🇵🇸 Help Marah's family restore their lives!

I want to introduce you to the Baloushaa family, who are currently living in Gaza. The family lived in a beautiful house, and Mahmoud owned a shoe store that was doing well. Marah (@freepaleatine95) was studying computer engineering at Al-Azhar University, a subject she has a lot of interest and passion in. Mahmoud's business was successful and Marah's studies were going excellently. Their parents were proud of them for all they accomplished, and they had great dreams for their futures.

But even before the recent aggression starting on October 7th, this family had experienced profound loss. They lost their older brother in 2006, a stark reminder that the violence inflicted on Palestinians did not start within the past year, but has been a continued effort to wipe out their people. With the most recent escalation in violence, this family has been forced to experience loss again. They lost the beautiful house they lived in, and they lost the kittens that they cared for dearly. Mahmoud's business was destroyed as well as Marah's University and their lives have been frozen.

The picture above is their current living situation, they are trying to survive without proper shelter, exposed to the weather and illnesses. Their mother and father both suffer from diabetes, and their father has high blood pressure, the medicine for which is near impossible to obtain in Gaza. As winter approaches and the temperature drops, they will need proper clothing, blankets, and a heater. Their ultimate goal is to move the family to Egypt so they can access proper care for their parents, Marah can continue university, and they can rebuild their lives.

Verification: the old account was shared by 90-ghost here. The GFM linked in this post is the same as the one above.

Marah @freepaleatine95 is a hardworking computer science student who has been helping to fundraise for her family for months, from the scorching dry season into the equally horrifying wet season. Her family has been displaced eight times and her parents are both elderly, sick with high blood pressure and untreated diabetes. 

As a university student, Marah should be able to continue her studies and achieve her degree in computer science, experiencing the joy of the new school year along with the rest of the world. However, due to the ongoing attacks on Gaza, this has become impossible for her, and her family's livelihood was completely destroyed.

In the Gaza strip where they live, fearsome rains have begun to signal the beginning of winter. We were warned about this, and now it is beginning. The damage that these rains do to the displaced people of Gaza is absolutely astronomical.

The rains destroy tents, food, and clean water, and they also introduce terrifying diseases to people who are already struggling to survive. 

Everything that would be safely managed in a normal situation is going wrong now, with flooding sewers, the spread of deadly diseases like polio, and the destruction of property everywhere, property that with the astronomically high prices of food and tents in Gaza is almost impossible to replace. 

This is not a hypothetical situation. This is really happening. 

Marah and the rest of the Baalousha family have experienced these rains tearing their tent apart, destroying their food and making them scared for their lives. This happened only three days ago on September 22nd, 2024, and this incident has hurt them horribly. 

Many of the items that they have purchased with the help from your donations were destroyed as well. Their tent was flooded and they were left cold, hungry, and terrified.

Now, in a time defined by uncertainty, they need to be certain they will survive. 

Let’s donate, share, and make sure that Marah and the rest of her family can buy a new tent, evacuate, and continue pursuing their studies with the rest of the students of the world. They deserve the right to safety, shelter, food, and water just like the rest of us. Despite fundraising for months, Marah is not even close to her goal- and you can help change that, one little bit at a time. 

Please, help Marah and her family by taking a few minutes out of your day to donate, share, and support their campaign.

Marah’s family’s campaign has been verified as legitimate here.
