It's With A Heavy But Hopeful Heart That I Watch Palestinian Families Fundraiser On Here, Slowly Accumulating

It's with a heavy but hopeful heart that I watch Palestinian families fundraiser on here, slowly accumulating the precious little money to go around that they need to survive. However, not everyone is so lucky. A lot of Palestinians that have not had that kind of luck, that did not get early verification, that did not get massive platforms behind them from large bloggers, have approached me in my inbox, asking me kindly to do what I can for them. It kills me that I have so little to give myself, but I've seen this platform collectively raise enough to change someone's life. I've made a list of Palestinian fundraisers that are extremely low on funds, in the hope that drawing attention to people who have not been lucky at all can help turn that luck around. I know most of us can't possibly give enough to get all of these families safe in one go. But please, reblog this list. Pick one or two fundraisers, give what you can, and then keep track of it. Slowly, collectively, we can make a difference in these people's lives. Share and donate as much as you can. https://docs.google.com/document/d/178EGDFKkHlh3y4TMVX82kqgITHsqtoMdNccI2f_94Os/edit?usp=sharing

Donate to Help Displaced Family in Gaza, organized by Qutaiba Motlaq

Save Aya's Family in Gaza Aya, a devoted mother from northern Gaza, pours out her hea… Qutaiba Motlaq needs your support for Help Displa

Current progress: €3,129/€15,000

Account: @family-aya, @family-aya2

This campaign has been promoted by bilal-salah0.

Since the destruction of her family's home full of all her beautiful memories, Aya has been living with her 15 family members in a small and crowded tent where they are exposed to the elements, insects, and diseases. Aya works everyday to care for her husband, their 3 children, and her elderly parents, but it is impossible to provide for them amongst the genocide, famine, and lack of medical care.

Her family needs support to afford food, clothes, and a safer tent. The funds raised will go towards the necessities they need and help them gather the resources to evacuate somewhere safer, where her family can get access to medical care to save her daughter's eyesight, treat her father's cancer, and meet her mother's special needs.

In two months of fundraising, Aya's campaign has only raised a little over €3,129. This is not nearly enough to keep up with their needs.

Please show your support to this family by sharing and donating, even if all you can spare is $5.

Donate to Help Reema from Gaza rebuild her dream, organized by Marwa Aoui

This is message from my dear friend Reema: Hello everyone, my name is Reema, and… Marwa Aoui needs your support for Help Reema from Gaza

i believe that we can do this! i encourage anyone who is able to try and match my $20 (or more) but if not, any amount at all is amazing and helpful. and of course please share as much as possible!

I'm writing this post to bring attention to the GFM campaign of @salahmanarfamily / @salahahmed90, a father of two in Gaza.

Salah has been working hard to promote his family's campaign every day for almost a month now, and yet, despite all the effort he's put in, they've only received a little over 70 donations.

If you have money to spare, please consider donating!

This is a campaign that is very low on funds.

In less than two months it will be October 7th again.

In less than two months, it will be a year of genocide. 

In light of this, I just have only one request for you; please do not give into whatever you are describing as “compassion fatigue” right now.

Realize that this is exactly what the colonizers conducting this genocide want you to feel. Realize that apathy during a genocide is what leads to the normalization of atrocities. Realize that this is a tried and tested method found throughout history; that now when the genocide is been widely documented by Gazans themselves- the only way the colonizers can get away with it is by running you down and making you feel hopeless!

They want you to stop caring about their victims and this is why you need to fight harder now more than ever!!

I request you to fight harder for every Gazan! And therefore request you to fight for my friend Siraj Abudayeh too, whose family recently faced another assault. His parents and siblings had to flee to him for protection, because their areas ( Hamad, southern Khan Younis) were marked for assault from occupation forces. With the number of people depending on him increased now, Siraj has a much heavier responsibility on his shoulders to raise enough funds to support all of them and their needs, when prices of food water and other essentials are already skyrocketing.

With the coming of the rainy season, there comes the danger of epidemics spreading from open sewers as well! Siraj’s son Amir has already fallen ill, and his other two sons are showing symptoms too- they are in dire need of medical treatment! I cannot overstate how badly Siraj and his family need these funds!! How badly he needs your continuous support.

There has been a significant drop in engagement with fundraising posts and I very clearly remember, someone tagging one of my posts with compassion fatigue. It shocked me to my core to think that the cries of Free Palestine could fade so suddenly; that after only a year some of you have begun to feel fatigued, from having to care about this.

Do not give in please; do not let the colonizers make you complicit in this horror! They know that if they can overwhelm you enough, then one day the videos and posts would stop hitting as hard and sooner or later everyone will stop talking about Palestine. This cannot happen again! Not when your attention can literally save a life! This is the power you hold- especially if you are living in the Imperial core. The colonizers are afraid of it. You have to know this and believe this!

So please do not turn away and help Siraj get to 50k as soon as possible!

He is currently only at $45,044 / $82,000 CAD

Over the past couple of weeks, the attention on Palestine has dwindled A LOT. 

While some of it can be attributed to algorithms that are governed to actively suppress Palestinian voices, there is a great decline in regards to Palestine. Media coverage in the West dies down. People are giving into their apathy. Many are coming up with inappropriate excuses, like compassion fatigue, to express how exhausted they are from seeing posts detailing only the barest details of the violence that happens everyday in Ghazzah. 

This is your reminder that Palestine is not a social media trend. We should continue our support!

We should continue to resist! 

There is a way you can do so. Please help Siraj Abudayeh (@siraj2024), who is a Palestinian journalist, in acquiring clean drinking water!

As you may know by now, Siraj has been collecting funds to rebuild his home.

But as the situation becomes dire, he has no choice but to allocate the funds into purchasing basic necessities such as clothing, food, shelter (i.e: two tents), and water. 

He supports 5 FAMILIES, which consists of 23 people!

The majority are children (His three young children and their cousins) aged 6-12!

With this many people depending on Siraj, he would like to install a submersible water generator and network tools so they do not have to walk for miles and miles to fetch a pail of CLEAN DRINKING water.

This will help Siraj have consistent access to clean water and no one has to endanger their lives!

Let’s raise 70K by THIS THURSDAY and 75k by the end of this week! 

As of writing this, $66,180 CAD has been raised. 

We only have $3,820 CAD left to go!

IMPORTANT: If you would like to donate via PayPal, please DM @/malcriada, since the organizer is based in Canada!

CLICK HERE TO DONATE!

I also encourage you to follow Siraj (@siraj2024) to receive the latest updates on him, his family, as well as Ghazzah. Do not forget to reblog and share! Siraj and his family need all the help he can get!
