Making this new pinned post for Ahmed @90-ghost Please donate and/or spread as much as you can.
EDIT 1/4/24: unfortunately, the original case manager got back and emailed me saying that, essentially, they need info from a trusted nonprofit or something along those lines to move forward with the transfer. It's fucking bullshit and it's unfair, especially when we we really thought it'd work out, but at this stage, it looks like our only choice is to move forward with refunding everyone and re-donating to ahmed's ko-fi and paypal:
Please reblog this version of the post. Soon, the refund process will start. Everyone who donated will also get an email from GFM with this update once I post it.

EDIT: GFM is giving me grief because this is going to someone in Gaza. I am trying to sort it out, but if the worst-case scenario happens and they shut it down, I’ll have to refund everyone. Currently, I can’t even access the funds. You can still donate if you want, but you’ll be more sure to get money to Ahmed if you go to his blog and use his PayPal or Ko-Fi to donate directly.
EDIT 12/24: the fundraiser hit its goal! But the funds are still in limbo. GFM essentially concluded their questioning and told me that they will reach out when there’s a decision regarding whether or not I will be able to transfer the funds or if everyone will be refunded. I’m trying to at least pester them for a decision ASAP, but in the case of a refund, please pay attention to your email for the refund notification and re-send your money directly to Ahmed’s PayPal: @/ahmed94saad
EDIT 12/29: the good news is that GFM reached out to Ahmed directly, received his documentation, etc and it looks like they’re moving forward with lifting the hold on the account, hopefully. The bad news is that the cost of the permits has gone up in the time that this has taken. It’s $7500 per person now. I’ve adjusted the goal and re-opened donations accordingly.

Between the people who will need to leave Gaza to get medical care due to a lack of functioning hospitals to people who will be homeless as entire neighbourhoods are destroyed, it's hard to fathom the significant toll that will still be impactful for years to come. Never mind the trauma children will continue to have or even Palestinians who can never do what they love again due to becoming disabled... I just cannot stop thinking about it.
I need non autistic people to realise meltdowns are a real debilitating thing that has a serious effect on your mental and physical health NOWWWWW!!! The way its been trivialized and lessened pisses me the fuck off. It's not a tantrum and it doesn't come from "being too weak-willed" it's painful and it's embarrassing AND MOST OF ALL IT'S INVOLUNTARY!! Don't claim to be an ally to autistic or disabled people and then make fun of people who have meltdowns. Literally get the hell out of my sight
