Everyone, I'm Really Worried For Mahmoud's Family (@mahmoudfamily1) In Gaza. His Campaign Barely Has

Everyone, I'm really worried for Mahmoud's family (@mahmoudfamily1) in Gaza. His campaign barely has any donations, and there have been continuous attacks on Nuseirat refugee camp where his 17 family members are staying. I've posted about it here and here. Things have only gotten worse today.

Two houses in Nuseirat have been bombed today, killing at least 13 people and injuring dozen others. A lot of the people killed are women and children. More than one-third of the people martyred today as of right now is from Nuseirat.

In the past few days people in Nuseirat has suffered from drone attacks, air raids, bombing of family homes and ambulances. Mahmoud's family, including several children and a two-year-old baby are stuck in Nuseirat right now. They have no money to evacuate. And in addition to the bombing they also have to deal with the cold, the heavy rain and the shortage of food and clean water.

Mahmoud's campaign is really struggling. Donations are tickling in really slowly and sometimes he doesn't even get 1 donation a day. He hasn't even reached 1% of his campaign goal. The lives 17 people depend on these funds, please donate, and if not at least share so it can reach more people!

Donate to Support a family lacking healthcare and safety, organized by Mahmoud Salim

In the 27th of October 2023, I had no contact with my family for complete… Mahmoud Salim needs your support for Support a family lacking hea

Low Funds! Only $1,202 CAD raised of $80,000 goal! Last donation was 17 hours ago!

Mahmoud's campaign is vetted by association. Mahmoud is a friend of @hazempalestine (vetted by @/el-shab-hussein and is listed as #281 on the verified fundraiser list by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi). I've also been chatting with him extensively both on and off Tumblr. We even follow each other's private IG accounts. Please, I worry about his family.

it’s the indignity of fundraising on here. people on here want everything to know about the verified campaigns for families that need help surviving almost a year of genocide. they always want more. they want every minutiae of tragedy, they want exactly how long someone’s brother walks every day to get water, they want the truth, THE LOSS, to be “contextualized” for them. some families are extremely private and they don’t want their children’s faces to be plastered on the internet, so that you can see just how starved and scared they are. some families despite their comfort level DO show their most vulnerable to the internet and still struggle to get any donations for hours, days, or even weeks.

this isn’t a show that you’re watching. you don’t get to consume these stories. I don’t know what it will take for you to help. I just don’t know.

Also this rise of tumblr users determined to call all gofundme’s a scam over the smallest details is so telling of the average person’s ability to have empathy and understand the lengths a person will go to to help their family survive. Yes, Gazans are making multiple accounts, they are sending asks relentlessly, they are copying templates/formats text posts from each other, they are giving extreme and explicit details of their suffering, they are using google translate to try to reach as many people as possible, but wouldn’t you do the same if it was your family you needed for raise money for survival for? How can you not understand where they’re coming from before jumping to calling them scammers?

DO YOU THINK IT'S EASY TO HAVE YOUR FAMILY'S SURVIVAL RELY ON SOME FOREIGNERS' PITY?

Donate to Support Muhammad's Surgery & Children Amir and Malak, organised by Haruka Aoki

Hello kind friends and dear community, My name is Haruka Aoki, an… Haruka Aoki needs your support for Support Muhammad's Surgery & Child

the atallah family do not deserve this. palestinian families are entitled to a life of dignity just like everybody else. donations are already so slow and they still have a long way to go. our €5 and reblogs are essential to them. it gives them hope. so don't go around discouraging empathetic outsiders. ffs.

you don’t have to answer an ask from a palestinian trying to raise fund for their family’s needs if the only thing you would do is to mock them and smear their campaign. my gosh. the notes. everybody is so fucking inappropriate and callous. have some shame, people.

don't be a fucking piece of shit who regurgitates misinformation just because the desperate begging annoys you personally. they are using google translate to communicate with us. stop discrediting the story without even fucking learning the simple facts. you are literate enough to do some research before ruining somebody's reputation.

shout out to @/90-ghost btw. genuinely doing so much work in such an immeasurably difficult time. everyone say thank you ❤️
