Before the war, my dream was simple: I wanted to continue my education, build a future, and one day be able to support my parents, my brother, and my sister. Like millions of young people around the world, I believed that with hard work, determination, and education, I could build a better life.

Then the war came and everything changed.

For nearly three years, my family and I have been living in a displacement camp. Every day has become a struggle just to survive:

 Severe Heat & Harsh Winters: Summer heat turns our tent into an oven, while freezing winter winds make living conditions unbearable.

 Water Scarcity: Clean water is extremely difficult to find, requiring long walks carrying heavy buckets. Every liter matters.

 Food & Resource Shortages: Food is scarce and basic items have become far too expensive.

 Medical Care: Healthcare is extremely limited, making even simple illnesses frightening.

Winter is Approaching — The Struggle with Smoke & Woodfire:

Our children’s eyes are exhausted and burning from the constant smoke of burning wood used for cooking and heating. As winter sets in, the thick smoke makes breathing difficult, hurts their eyes further, and increases the need for eye drops and basic medicines.

We urgently need $1,700 to renovate our tent, buy essential firewood (🪵) for heating and cooking, purchase warm winter clothes to protect us from the cold, and secure necessary food and medical supplies.

Despite everything, I still refuse to give up. I have received an official acceptance from the University of Glasgow. For me, this is more than an academic opportunity—it is a dream I have carried for years to study in Europe, gain knowledge, build a career, and return that opportunity to my family by creating a better future for them.

Financial Requirements:

 Tuition Fees (University of Glasgow): £33,000

 Winter Shelter, Firewood & Emergency Needs: $1,700

We have no one left to turn to but kind-hearted people like you. I am not asking for luxury; I am asking for survival, health, and a chance to study and rebuild our lives. Even a small donation of $10 makes a huge impact—every single cent counts and helps protect our family from the harsh winter.

For digital contact via WhatsApp: +972592680289. Please look at my child's condition; he is suffering greatly. Watch the video and decide for yourselves—out of the kindness of your hearts—whether he is deserving of help or not.

For those who didn’t know, I am a 30-year old gamer and college graduate. I was diagnosed with autism since early age.

I am very dependent on my pension and my aunt on my budget.

There would be a lot of problems related to food and survival after graduation, such as fees while looking for a job. Job hunting may not be easy even after graduation.

Please if you can spare anything, Thank you!

My phone bill is due in a few days and im broke.

i do not have a premium plan or anything, it's a month to month, no contract phone. There's no extensions, no payment arrangements.

I know I don't need to justify this to hexbear, but in this day and age this stupid ass bill is one of the most important i have.

I'm so tired of capitalism.

if anybody has a job they can throw at a rando on hexbear dm me lol

otherwise, i have venmo/paypal - @ktkatte

i have a cashapp you can dm for as well.

Here in Gaza, we are not living a normal life… we are simply trying to keep our family standing.

Three years of war and siege have taken so much from us: safety, income, the ability to afford even the most basic needs for my children, and even the feeling that tomorrow could be better.

I am a mother of eight children, and I am still doing everything I can to protect them from the cruelty of these days.

But I have reached a point where trying alone is no longer enough.

If you can extend a hand to my family, your support will be more than a donation… it will be a moment of safety in lives that have known so little of it for years.

https://chuffed.org/project/150674-support-umm-mohammeds-family-to-rebuild-their-future-and-to-survive-amidst-the-genocide I will share my son’s suffering every day, every hour, and every minute; it is his right. He has lost the most precious part of his body, and he deserves to live a dignified life.

Hey comrades :) !!!…. I hope things have been treating you gently lately

It’s been a couple of days since I last came back with an update about the eight queer refugees I’ve been telling you about and I wanted to share something a little different today.

First, I want to say thank you to everyone who has been quietly following their story. A lot of you have been reading, liking, commenting, bumping and sharing the posts and I really appreciate it. Someone even asked me recently how I came to know these eight people, which made me realize that people are genuinely trying to understand who they are and what brought me into their situation.

And I also noticed something I had somehow missed when I checked the campaign a few days ago.

Someone donated $100.

That brought the amount we’re trying to raise for the eight from $2,990 down to $2,890.

To whoever made that donation, thank you. I don’t know who you are but please know that I noticed it and it means a lot to me. It may be one donation, but it is also a sign that their story is reaching people who want to help.

And today, I want you to start getting to know the people behind this story.

Meet David is one of the eight queer refugees who recently arrived in Gorom after leaving Kakuma, Kenya.

Before everything changed for him, David worked in a bakery in Kakuma. That work gave him a way to support himself and save some money.

But after repeated attacks and insecurity, he eventually used some of his savings to help other people get to safety too.

Now he is in Gorom and wants to start working again.

He already has the experience. He knows the work. What he doesn’t have right now is the basic money and equipment needed to get started again.

That is one of the reasons we included bakery equipment and workspace in the $2,890 still needed.

The idea isn’t just to give them emergency help and then walk away.

We want to help them get to a point where they can start rebuilding some independence for themselves.

Food and shelter are urgent but having a way to earn an income matters too.

And that’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot this past week.

I don’t want these eight people to only be known as “the refugees who were attacked.”

They are people with skills, stories, dreams and plans for their lives.

So over the next few updates, I want to introduce you to them properly, one story at a time.

The immediate situation is still difficult and they still need support with food, safer shelter, clean water, sleeping essentials, medication, clothing and other basic needs.

If you’re able to help financially, the support link is in my profile.

If you know LGBTQ+ organization or anyone who might be able to help them with longer-term support, please reach out to me.

And if you can’t donate, please keep boosting and sharing their story. The visibility really does matter.

Thank you for continuing to listen to them and stand with them.

They are more than eight people in need. They’re eight people trying to rebuild their lives.

My brothers and sisters, I humbly ask for your help and support if you are able to give. 🙏💔 It has been more than a month, and despite my efforts, we have received very little assistance. I am struggling to provide enough food for my children, and every contribution—no matter how small—could make a meaningful difference for our family. Please don’t forget us during this difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🥺❤️

Sora has been missing for 108 days.

There has been absolutely nothing known about Sora since he was disappeared on June 19th.

Thanks to some help from local friends, I was able to scrounge up enough to get the Leave of Appeal submitted after working on it for a month and a half. Thank you to those here on Lemmy who donated.

I have also finished writing a second response to the President of Ireland, you can read the petition update here: https://c.org/JGK758Gs2p

Now I need to send a lot of letters and make a lot of phone calls. Which means I need more money that I do not have.

I need at least €100 immediately to mail physical letters and packages, and to continue to promote this issue here in Ireland. If anyone here can help me reach that goal, your generosity would be greatly appreciated. There are many other things I need money for right now, but this is the top priority at the moment.

If you cannot help directly, please continue to share this issue and the petition link with everyone you can. Thank you again.

I'm struggling. I can't really think of anything to type. I don't think people read these anyway? Life sucks, I have $7.54 left to last two weeks. I could use some assistance.

Thank you.

My brothers and sisters, please help me. I need $100 for milk and diapers for my little daughter. Please donate. 🙏💔 https://chuffed.org/project/199772-help-abeer-and-her-children-afford-necessities?pdm=url_copy

This auto immune flair up is fucking brutal. It started on Tuesday because of the weather changes and it's been making me throw up so hard that I somehow gave myself a black eye from vomiting. Didn't even know that was possible lol. Also haven't been able to sleep for shit, my emergency sleep med isn't even really touching it. My Doxepin normally makes me struggle to stay awake for the next day and a half after taking it, and it's only doing enough to get me 2 hours of sleep. I was just trying to wait it out, I've been going into work daily this whole time and being at work is actually pretty helpful for what's going mentally, but once I'm off it's hell. Going to urgent care after work if I can get the money for it.

Appreciate y'all as always, sorry I've been gone the past few days. Just extremely anxious and have no energy

Hi all! I'm still not able to work, recovering from my broken knee. Thanks to help I received I won't be homeless this month!

Of course now I need deodorant and shampoo and etc. I need to pick up some medications and something to eat as well. I'll be starting physical therapy so I need to purchase a bus pass as well.

I am starting to be able to put weight on the leg (per doc instructions) as of yesterday, so hopefully I'll be back at it soon!

Literally any bit helps, as if I don't get the full amount I can prioritize expenses.

Thank you!

Here in Gaza, I sometimes feel like we are trapped in a waterwheel—going around and around, day after day, without knowing where we are going or when this endless cycle will end.

Three years of war and blockade have exhausted us. We keep struggling to protect our children and meet their simplest needs.

The hardest part is not knowing when the pain will end.

Please help us break this cycle. ❤️
