Hi all,

The Palestinian family in Belgium that I am helping with has finally found a place to call home in Brussels! However, before they can settle, they need to pay a month’s worth of rent in advance and another 3 month’s worth for insurance. This adds up to a total of €4400 (of which €200 has been generously received).

They urgently need this amount in around two weeks time. Once they pay, they will finally be able to receive a stable monthly salary from CPAS which covers the monthly rent and the father will be able to attend full-time classes at the local university. The family will also be better able to seek help for the rest of their family still stuck in Gaza too.

This family has jumped through every hurdle for the past 3 years to get to where they are. They have been nothing but a source of inspiration and optimism for me and my friends who have helped them since day one. Should they fail to do so, not only would they not have a place to stay, it will result in them having to repeat the asylum process all over again.

Please do donate to their PayPal link the best you can and spread the word about this wonderful family! This is a huge milestone for them and we want them to see them continue to succeed against all odds! I will post updates regularly and transparently on the progress of this campaign with this community.

Also, shoutout to the following comrades for helping to boost my previous post: @bookwhyrm@lemmygrad.ml @LeninZedong@lemmygrad.ml @allende2001@lemmygrad.ml

Sometimes, it doesn't take many words to describe what we're going through—life's burdens speak for themselves.

I am a mother trying to provide food and care for my children while also securing the heart medication my husband depends on. But the challenges we face have become greater than what I can handle alone.

If you are able to help, please know that your support is more than a donation—it is a lifeline that can ease a heavy burden on a family struggling to get through each day.

Donation link: [https://gofund.me/1d3ea05b6]

And if you cannot donate, sharing the link may help it reach someone who can.

Update: A very kind soul covered the rest! I cannot stress how much I appreciate you!)

Been posting this for a few days. An update, me and my girlfriend are starting to butt heads a little bit. It's starting to get tense, and I don't know how much longer I can stay here. I really need help

Edit: Someone donated $5. I messaged them directly on the payment platform, but I want to say this publicly. I know $5 doesn't seem like much compared to the $1000 I'm asking for, but it means a lot emotionally. Just knowing that someone cares and I'm not shouting into the void for help. And that's not a dig on those that aren't donating, I don't expect anybody to donate, but I really appreciate those that care enough to send even a little bit.

Although I won my disability claim, I have no money. They have given me only a tiny fraction of the backpay I'm owed so far, which was taken for debt repayment. They have a backlog with paying backpay (which they pay in instalments anyway). I've received my first monthly payment but it's not a lot and the majority has gone on rent, the rest has been eaten up by interest payments. I'm up to my eyeballs in debt and don't know how to eat this month.

If anyone can help with the food situation, please send a supermarket gift card to DisabledAceSocialist@hotmail.com

This one takes credit card, debit card and google pay:

This one takes crypto:

If anyone would like to help but can't deal with gift cards, please PM me. I have paypal, but usually try to avoid real money unless there's no alternative because of government bank checks but the situation is dire right now.

The situation for disability claimants accessing food in the UK is really bad, due to benefits being stopped, long waits for backpay and sanctions. This is how bad it is and I don't want to end up like this:

My name is Abeer, a mother of four children from Gaza. After the war, I lost everything except my children. We lost our home, our safety, our dreams, and every source of income we had. The only thing keeping us alive right now is this donation link.

Most of the money we once received was already spent during the famine and the unbearable days of hunger in Gaza. We survived day by day, trying to protect our children with nothing in our hands.

Now, people have started leaving Gaza through private coordination, but the cost is heartbreaking — around $40,000 to $50,000 per person. I know this amount sounds impossible, but I still have hope because of kind people like you.

I am begging you from the bottom of my heart: please help us reunite our family. For 3 years, my children have not seen their father. I have not seen my husband. And the most painful part… my little daughter, Talia, was born in exile. Her father has never seen her, never held her, never kissed her, never even touched her.

We are exhausted from separation, fear, and loss. You are our only hope to bring my husband out of Gaza and reunite us again.

Please do not underestimate any small donation. Every single dollar can bring us one step closer to being together again. And if you cannot donate, please share my campaign everywhere — in the streets, universities, schools, cafés, social media, everywhere you can.

We finally heard there is a chance for people to leave Gaza safely. The amount is huge, but I still believe that together, compassionate people can make miracles happen.

Please help my husband, help my children, help us become a family again. 💔

Same thing as the last few days. I have good news for anybody that actually follows these posts and reads them. My friend is out of the mental hospital and doing better! I got really excited when I got that phone call, because I had been looking for her hard. Calling everywhere looking for her

Update to the original post.

Not to put a damper on things, but if you are reading this on Lemmy and want to donate, please use the direct PayPal link and make a personal transfer. The GoGetFunding site was made so people outside of Lemmy could see and help (and also to show that our need is legitimate). But every donation made through them costs at least 10% to withdrawal. Which method you use to help us is, of course, up to you. Just FYI.

I edited the target amounts on the crowdfunding site to compensate, but that's assuming the total amount is coming in through there (which it already is not) to be on the safe side. The main target of €33,000 is a high ballpark and not an exact amount like the €10,000 (minus any fees) starting cost is.

If the total legal fees end up being less than that, or we end up getting too much money, I will simply pull the plug on it, take down these posts, and issue refunds if necessary.

Thank you all for the help we've been getting, I'm trying to be calm as the original deadline was last week, but it is still possible to make this work if I can get someone to get started ASAP. Please help if you can, we greatly appreciate it.

Please excuse me, I will be posting my appeal every day. We have no other source besides this link. I apologize for posting so much.💔🥹

Today, I write with a heart heavy with fear for my family… I try to hide my exhaustion from my children, but the needs around us have become greater than I can bear. All I hope for is a little support to provide healthy food, medicine for my husband who suffers from heart disease, and days that feel less harsh for my children.

Your support, even a small one, could make a real difference in our lives. Support link: [https://gofund.me/1d3ea05b6]

Hey, posting this again. My girlfriend, who I've been living with, and I got into a heavy conversations today. So I had a seizure last night, a particularly bad one. She was there for me and amazing as always. But this morning she was talking about how she's still so anxious from last night that she can't work on music this morning. She wants us to find ways we can take more space from each other, because I have a lot going on right now, but she has a lot of events she's doing this week. Ultimately it's not sustainable for our relationship at this point for us to live together. It'll be okay for now, especially because we're making adjustments to be better at living together, but it makes that June 3rd deadline for a plan way closer

In Gaza… Eid clothes became shrouds… And Eid cookies taste like grief and loss.

The joy of Eid turned into farewells and funeral processions.

No happiness… No safety… No home to gather us… Only fear, hunger, and a war that never ends.

In Gaza, there is no Eid… There is an ongoing genocide for 3 years, and the world is still watching.

I haven’t received any donations for days, and we are still struggling to survive through all this pain. If you can help or share our link, please don’t leave us alone. 🙏😭 https://gofund.me/00439328

Eid has arrived… Yet I still stand helpless before my children’s simplest wishes. No new clothes to bring joy to their hearts, not even a healthy meal to make them feel that Eid tastes different from the days of war and hardship.

I try to hide my sadness from them, but their little eyes reveal everything… Every bit of support can help create a real Eid for my children, even with the smallest moment of joy and comfort. 💔

I take a med called Pregabalin for my anxiety. It is a life changing med. Unfortunately my pharmacy was closed yesterday due to fake American holidays, and with Pregabalin being a controlled substance I couldn't have picked it up earlier.

The total for the med is $8.20, but I already have $3.27 in my Venmo. If you choose to help out over PayPal, I do have to request an extra fifty cents or a dollar for transfer fees.
