Mahmoud Helle’s Story
Mahmoud (@hillesmahmoud) I have been speaking, and he asked me to share his story with you all.
Mahmoud is a husband and a father of 4. He lives in Belgium while his kids and wife live in Gaza. His family has been displaced within Gaza multiple times; his family’s home has been damaged multiple times over the years due to Israeli airstrikes. Now, his family has been displaced again. His wife also has a kidney condition that has been worsening due to lack of adequate medical care and access to clean drinking water in Gaza. Mahmoud is constantly in fear for his family’s safety, and he started this GFM to cover the cost of his wife’s treatment and help his family in Gaza.
Currently, Mahmoud’s goal is €37k, and he’s reached €25.2k, which is nearly 70% of his goal. He’s getting closer, but he still needs our help to get his family what they need. Here’s the link to his GFM:
Please donate what you can; if you don’t have the means, send his GFM link to someone who does. Reblog Mahmoud’s posts and share his fundraiser with others. Let’s get him to his goal as quickly as possible!

An Update on Wafaa's Fundraiser
Wafaa's account has now been suspended 3+ times (I'm not sure of the exact number but it's been ridiculous). Her campaign has been verified and vetted by Palestinians, and yet her blogs are constantly being deleted for no good reason.
Wafaa is undergoing severe stress and anxiety due to being separated from her family who are trapped in Gaza. Her children are sick and unable to be treated properly due to lack of adequate medical care, and she has already lost a niece to the genocide. She has to constantly come onto this website and beg people to see her humanity for the chance to be reunited with her family. That her accounts keep being shadowbanned and suspended without warning is not only disgusting, but it also puts an extra burden upon her.
Her new blog is @wafans-blog. Please follow her. Donate to her fundraiser if you're able; if you can't, send her link to someone you know who has the means. Reblog her posts and share her fundraiser with others. Let's get Wafaa to her goal as quickly as possible to reunite her with her family!
🚨 This is a vetted and legit GoFundMe 🚨
Hello,
I am Tamer Al-Deeb, a Palestinian dentist from Gaza.
[Picture of Tamer before the war in his clinic]
I have hesitated and delayed for a long time to write these words and create an account on GoFundMe, but the need has become very urgent due to what I see of death approaching myself and my family.
To begin our story, it is important to introduce my family, who are the core of my existence and the source of my strength during these turbulent times:
We are a family of four suffering for over 9 months from a brutal war that spares neither humans nor stones.
Mother: The Heart of Our Home
My mother embodies generosity and kindness as a devoted homemaker, always prioritizing her family's well-being. Her unwavering love remains our sanctuary amidst the chaos.
Father: The Pillar of Strength
My father, Majed, a dedicated professor, faced the destruction of the university he served. Despite this, his commitment to education and society remains unshaken.
Brother: A Beacon of Healing
My brother, Mohammad, a compassionate doctor, confronts the challenges of healthcare amidst dwindling supplies and occupation brutality, showcasing remarkable dedication to healing.
Tamer: A Dream Deferred
As for myself, Tamer, I was on the verge of a new beginning, with aspirations to further my career in Germany. I had saved thousands of dollars for the mandatory block account to support my stay abroad. However, the conflict has not only shattered my professional dreams but also consumed what didn't burn of my savings, compelling me to fight for my family's survival amidst the escalating costs of basic human necessities.
[Picture of the family before the war]
I have lost the lives of my dearest friends, neighbors, and much of what I loved.
We have lost our home with all its dreams and memories. A five-floor house completely leveled to the ground!!
[Pictures of the destroyed house]
I lost my clinic, my only source of livelihood.

My neighborhood .

Since the beginning of the war, we were forced to flee our home in the north of the Gaza Strip to the supposed safe area in the south. But unfortunately, this was just the beginning. We have been displaced four times in the same southern area, fleeing from death always surrounding us.
Initially, we fled to a school belonging to the UNRWA in the Nuseirat camp until we were forced to move to another area, and the Maghazi camp was the intended destination. Then a UNRWA school, where we were residing in a tent inside, was targeted, killing 7 civilians. We were forced to flee again to a tent in Rafah, but the scarcity of clean water and the spread of epidemics and diseases forced us to flee again to a UNRWA school in the Deir Al-Balah area until now.
UNRWA has been providing refuge to hundreds of displaced families for the past six months at schools that have become vital community hubs, offering shelter to thousands of individuals trapped in the southern region.
Women and children sleep inside classrooms, and the men sleep outside in tents set up in the courtyard. Rainstorms recently have flooded our tents, and it's very difficult to take care of our basic needs.
[Pictures of Tamer after the war in the UNRWA school and his tent]
I am currently volunteering at Al-Aqsa Hospital, assisting in the maxillofacial surgery department. However, a sense of helplessness and despair often overwhelms me. It's hard to put into words the horrors and injuries I witness daily. Surrounded by the shroud of death and the cries of the wounded, I feel powerless. "I want to save you, I want you to live," I often think, "I will do everything in my power to make it happen!" Sadly, many times, they become part of the countless casualties from my homeland. The shortages in food, water, and medical supplies are dire, to the extent that we sometimes perform surgeries without anesthesia. The suffering is unimaginable.
Now we hope to escape death, we hope for the end of the war, we hope to leave the Gaza Strip, and we hope to live a decent life away from bombing, occupation, and destruction.
It has been 9 months of hell and horror. This genocide has been too long to bear, and our mental health and lives are in constant danger. (I can’t describe enough what I have been dealing with daily in the hospitals for the past days. We have reached a point where there is no hope left for us here in Gaza, where we are unfortunately just waiting for our turn to die, and even if there is a ceasefire, the destruction in Gaza is beyond prompt repair
Evacuation fees are expensive, especially now that I have no source of income. Once we can evacuate, your donations will cover our travel expenses and help us get immediate support in Egypt. There will be meal expenses, wardrobe expenses, emergency expenses, etc., but no generous contribution will go to waste.
To cross the “Rafah” Gaza-Egypt Borders, you need to have your name listed in the Crossing List (paid permit), and coordinators in Egypt who have the power to add my family’s names to the list at the border are now asking for anywhere from $6-8,000 per PERSON! They will not add the names until we can prove we have the money ready.
I ask for your help because this is not just my battle alone, but a battle in which we seek your helping hand to survive and preserve our families. Any donation, big or small, will have a huge impact on the lives of my family and me. I am grateful to everyone who donates, and I will remain grateful forever for giving hope and opportunity to me and my family to survive and build a better future.
Thank you for reading my story. For sharing my story with your friends and family. I hope, there is a ceasefire, and we can get the rest and safety we deserve to build our lives all over again. ❤️

Siraj's Story
Siraj (@siraj2024) has shared his story with me, and he'd like me to share it with all of you.
Since the start of the genocide in October, Siraj and his family of 5 (his wife and 3 kids) have been displaced 6 times. Like many other Gazans, they are now living in a cramped tent without basic necessities like food and water. Conditions in the area are unhygienic, and the collapse of Gaza's healthcare system means that if they were to become sick, they likely would not be able to get treated. His children are unable to attend school because of the genocide, and instead of learning and playing as they usually would they now spend their time doing difficult tasks, like walking long distances to get drinking water.
Because their home was destroyed in airstrikes, Siraj began his GFM to cover the cost of rebuilding his family's home. He and his wife want to repair the damage that was done to their lives and their children's lives, and the first step is building their home again.
Siraj's fundraiser is new and it is legitimate, but it is extremely low on funds with only $100/82k (CAD), not even 0.5% of their goal. Please donate what you can to his fundraiser; if you don't have the means, send his link to someone in your life who you know does. Reblog his posts and share his fundraiser with others! Let's get Siraj and his family to their goal as quickly as we possibly can.
Hello my friends, please, please donate to me every 5 USD will be change my donations very, very little, I only collected 26,495 SEK, equivalent to 2453 USD, and yesterday I was shot in my leg, my situation is very difficult, donate to me, please.

Amidst all the images coming out of palestine of death and destruction created by the zionist occupation, i think it is important that we take a moment to remember palestine as it was- seen and captured through the eyes of talented photographers like Shahed @shahednhall and remember exactly what was senselessly lost in the past few months.
This is Al-Azhar university, where Shahed used to study. She was an exemplary student, and used to get regularly invited by her teachers to give lectures.
Since the university was bombed and destroyed by the IOF, all she has left are these pictures. Even through all the violence and death around her though, she still makes sure to keep up with her studies through the university's online programme.
This is a shop Shahed had visited only some time before october. She told me it was run by an artist who painted these beautiful home items, and engraved them by hand with customers names. Shahed had photographed them because they were so eye-catching and beautiful, and had sent the woman her photos so she could use them to promote the shop.
Shahed has told me this shop isnt there any more. She is currently trying to get in touch with the woman who used to run this shop again, but shahed doesn't know if she is even alive or not.
Shahed has an eye for beauty in all things, and it shows in her work and in conversation. It has taken on a different meaning now when so much of everything she knows has been stolen by the occupation from her and other palestinians like her.
In her own words:
"As you know, I like to photograph a lot, everyone liked my photography. I was filming everything because a memory can never come back again. This sentence is not understood by many. I am happy because I photograph everything."
What had been a hobby of collecting moments for her has now become something of an archive of all the things in Palestine that have been lost to the zionist occupation.
Shahed's outlook on her photography tends to colour our conversation as well. She finds it is more productive to talk to me about her hope for a better future, rather than all the bleakness around her right now.
"Yes, because I see inside every picture of new hope, I feel a great motivation that I will survive to see that life is more beautiful than what I live at the moment. I seek to return to a life that is more beautiful than the one we live now, a very difficult life because it has turned black and white."
I don't know how anyone can look at her photos and think of anything but hope
The mainstream media in the west and elsewhere can lie all they like- but we will know always that palestine was and is a land full of beautiful people. Never forget that the death, illness and destruction in palestine today was something imposed upon them by the colonizers, and has been imposed upon them for decades.
Shahed doesn't like to share images of misery with me, but please remember that she and her family are suffering right now. The happy children in the pictures, her little sisters, are suffering from severe hepatitis and are no longer recieving treatment due to overcrowding at what hospitals are left in gaza. Shahed herself has been weak and ill for days, narrowly surviving multiple massacres in just the past few days while trying to get food for her family. They all got displaced just last week due to the intense bombing in khan younis, and in doing so have lost precious funds that could have gone into food and clean water. They are starving.
Shahed is only 21 years old but the responsibility of taking care of all 17 of her family members rests solely on her shoulders.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT. PLEASE HELP SHAHED EVACUATE HER FAMILY TO SAFETY.
She has only gotten $47k/80k, and she needs to get to $50k within this week.
This gfm was verified and appears on hussein @/el-shab-hussein and nairuz @/nabulsi list of vetted fundraisers (#224) so please dont hesitate to donate whatever you can, and please keep sharing!!!
Take this as a call to action, please repost her her fundraiser in your discord servers, in your whatsapp groups. Repost her photgraphy and share her story on whatever social media you have reach, so that people can help because i really cant get her to her goal in time alone.
An Update on Siraj's Fundraiser
Siraj (@siraj2024) has asked me to share some more about his story with you all. He's been setting smaller, $10k goals for his GFM and recently reached $20k, alhamdulilah! His next goal is to hit $30k, and I know we can get him there together.
He sent me this message and asked me to share it:
"We are a family of five members, a husband, wife, and 3 children, who are experiencing the harshest kinds of suffering in the ongoing war on Gaza. Suddenly, suddenly, without warning, without warning messages, warplane and artillery missiles rained down on us from every direction! For a few minutes, it was the story of our displacement, forced displacement, fleeing from death to death, children screaming, adults suffering, without anything left except our souls that are tired of all this crime! After our sixth displacement, my family lives in extremely hot tents, full of epidemics and diseases, lacking the minimum necessities of life, and unfit for human living. What we are asking is to help us build our home to get out of the bitter and difficult life in tents. Help us, you are our great hope."
Siraj and his family have gone through unimaginable suffering, and they are asking for our help. Please donate what you can to their fundraiser; if you don't have the means, copy the link and send it to someone you know who can donate. Reblog Siraj's posts and share his GFM with others. His next goal is extremely attainable, so let's get him there as quickly as possible!
Please note that Siraj's GFM has been vetted and verified and can be found in line 223 (labeled 219) of this google doc.

Hello, my name is Hamza Al-Absi, a 32-year-old from Gaza.
I am a husband and a father of three children. Well, there were three, but I lost my eldest son, Osama, two years ago to leukemia (blood cancer). He deserved treatment for a year and a half, took his chemotherapy, fought the disease, and had a recovery period, but the disease returned, he had a strong relapse, and passed away. I couldn’t treat him again due to the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip, which even affected patients with urgent, serious conditions. They refused to treat him, and he died in the hands of his mother and beside his younger brother, Saif. My son could have been treated, but when his turn came to get the treatment, it was too late.
I cannot express the pain of losing an eldest son, and my wife still cries for him every day. It’s a continuous pain that never leaves us.
Since the beginning of the war, we have heard news of children being killed and seriously injured by the insane and savage bombing with rockets and shells, which has not stopped since the war began until today. But thank God, my wife and I and our dear children, “Saif, 3 years old,” and “Rita, one year old,” are still alive.
We were forced to evacuate our home at the beginning of the war against our will due to the intense bombing that our area was subjected to and the orders to evacuate the area and head to southern Gaza. Our house was bombed with war shells, leading to its destruction.
Our journey of displacement began, moving several times from one area to another, until we ended up in a tent in the “Tel al-Sultan” area in the city of “Rafah.” You can imagine how difficult life is in a tent. Everything is done with great difficulty; we are forced to use primitive methods to carry out daily tasks. Every day we light a fire to prepare food, and we struggle to provide water for drinking or bathing. Going to the bathroom is a suffering in itself for adults before children, in the absence of toilets suitable for human use.
The situation worsens with the arrival of summer and the rise in temperatures; the tent literally turns into a “sauna” during the day, especially since my little daughter Rita has started walking on the sand and suffers from pollution diseases, influenza, and other serious diseases that lead to hepatitis.
On top of all that, I lost my job at the beginning of the war and became unemployed due to the total power outage and the lack of internet connection most of the time. I face severe difficulty in providing for my family’s needs amid the crazy price hikes.
We have suffered enough and have been exposed to a lot of fear and panic in the past 7 months. The city of “Rafah” is now threatened with a ground invasion at any moment by the occupation, so I decided to travel and leave Gaza to save the lives of my wife and children.
Time is running out, and we need $15,000 to enable my wife and children to leave Gaza to Egypt via the Rafah land crossing as soon as possible, in addition to the costs of staying in Egypt for 6 months, estimated at ($6,000).
Asking for help is not easy at all, but we believe there is still good in this world. So, I hope you will help us save ourselves from killing and destruction and restore hope to our lives again. I have tasted the bitterness of loss once, and I do not want to taste it again.
We are grateful to everyone who will donate to us, and we appreciate your feelings and support for us.
This is the fourth departure. I miss you, my children. May God protect you. I am afraid that we will not meet 😭🇵🇸🌹
PLEASE take the time to share this post, if you're going to share any of them it should be this one. Tawfik's paypal closes in about 10 days as of now, and he's only at $727/6000 USD on his milestone. Imagine not only needing to escape from Gaza, and losing your past home and daily life, but also losing your future ability to study in Egypt, and the possiblity to continue to work on your passion and return to a sense of normalcy. I can't imagine how horrible it must be for Tawfik right now, especially so far from his goal but so close to the deadline. Donate if you can, share if you can't.
Help Fund Tawfik's Education
Tawfik (@tawfiksatooom) and I have been talking, and he's asked me to share his story with you all.
Tawfik was studying software engineering before the genocide began. Since October, he and his family have been displaced within Gaza after their house was destroyed. Tawfik hopes to continue his education at a university in Egypt, but he has to pay a registration fee for that to happen.
Tawfik needs $6,000 to register for university this upcoming semester. The funds need to be directed to his PayPal so that he can take them out and pay for his place before registration closes. This is extremely time-sensitive as Tawfik only has 16 days to collect his $6,000.
Currently, Tawfik's goal is set at $20k. His fundraiser is extremely low on funds with only $462/20k. Please donate what you can to Tawfik's fundraiser; if you can't, share his link with someone you know who can. Reblog his posts and share his fundraiser with others. Let's help Tawfik continue his education before time runs out!
