No one stays young forever, especially not in the conditions created in Gaza. For the past three years, I have been doing everything I can to help my family and neighbors survive in our displacement camp. But at this point, I realized that the greatest way I can truly support them in the long run is to finish my studies, build a career, and provide a stable future for us all.

Fortunately, Soliman has been nominated for admission to study in Cairo! 🎓

To make this dream a reality, he needs to cover the entry fees (travel coordination) and basic educational supplies to set up properly for the journey ahead.

📊 Campaign Progress Update

Total Goal: ~€7,500 Already Raised: €3,540 🎉 Remaining Amount Needed: ~€3,960

💡 Why Your Support Matters

If you find yourself thinking, "A real siege in this day and age? That sounds absurd!"—you are right. It feels like something from a history book, yet it is the daily reality for families in Gaza, cut off from basic human needs.

Thanks to Gerrit Elbrink, who is personally managing this fundraiser via GoFundMe, 100% of your donations will go directly to Sulaiman and his family with zero transfer fees or middlemen. Financial support is the most direct and reliable way to bypass blocked physical aid and reach them safely.

أتمنى أن أرى نشاطاً وتفاعلاً على حملتي، وشكراً لكم من القلب على دعمكم ومساندتكم.

🤝 How You Can Help

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings Sulaiman one step closer to education, stability, and dignity.

Unfortunately, I'm back in these circumstances. I'm gonna try to get my new career path setup in this time, but I gotta be real: I'm not sure how long it'll take for it to become something truly fruitful, but I'll push for sure.

Comrades, I know some of you have been asking about our eight queer sisters in Gorom and wondering what happened to them. After a long period without hearing from them, David finally got his phone back and contacted me today. I’m relieved to have heard from him, and I wanted to share what he told me.

Last week, according to David, the camp manager, police officers, and other officials visited the reception centre where the sisters have been staying. They reportedly told them that the centre was meant for temporary reception rather than long-term accommodation and that they needed to leave.

David asked where they were supposed to go. The sisters have not yet completed their registration and don’t have South Sudanese documentation. They’ve been staying at the reception centre because they feel safer there while waiting for their registration and documents.

David also told me that he had been recording the conversation because he wanted evidence in case they needed to report their security concerns to UNHCR. One of the officers noticed and took his phone. He only got it back today, which explains why he was unable to contact me during this period.

I’m glad we’ve reconnected, but I’m still concerned about their situation. They’ve been told to leave the place where they’ve been staying, yet they don’t have a clear alternative.

Their immediate need right now is food. David told me that the food they bought is almost finished. If we can raise at least $200, it could help buy food for the eight sisters for the next few days while they continue facing uncertainty about their accommodation and registration.

I also want to keep everyone updated on the bigger picture. Our fundraising goal for the sisters is $ 2990 and so far we’ve raised $ 125 , leaving $ 2865 to go. Every donation and boost helps move them closer to meeting their ongoing needs, including food, safer accommodation and other basic necessities.

For those who have been following our GoFundMe, I want to be transparent that it supports both our household here in Juba and the eight sisters in Gorom. We are facing separate situations and both continue to need support. I’m working on updating the fundraiser page so everyone can clearly understand the two situations and what the fundraising is helping us address.

For today ,though the immediate $200 food need is specifically for the eight sisters in Gorom.

Thank you to everyone who has checked in, donated, shared our posts and continued to stand with these sisters. Your solidarity has helped them before and I hope we can come together again to help them get through the coming days.

If you’re able to contribute, the GoFundMe support link is in my profile. If you cannot donate, a boost or share also helps more people see their situation.

My name is Hala, and I am a mother of three little girls living in Gaza. We have lost our home and our only source of income, and we are now struggling to survive in a worn-out tent that barely protects us.

Winter is approaching, and the rain is coming. Our tent is torn, fragile, and in terrible condition. I am terrified of what will happen when the heavy rain begins. Water could flood our tent, soak our belongings, and leave my little girls sleeping in the cold and mud. I am afraid we will have nowhere safe to turn when the storms arrive.

As a mother, my heart breaks as I watch my daughters living in these conditions, unable to provide them with the warmth, safety, and shelter they deserve. All I want is to protect my children and give them a safe place where they can sleep without fearing that rainwater will flood our tent.

🙏 I am reaching out with a broken heart, asking you to please stand beside us during this difficult time. Your donation can help us obtain essential supplies, protect ourselves from the coming rain, and meet our basic needs.

Please don't wait until the rain falls and we find ourselves struggling inside a flooded tent. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference in the lives of my three little girls. If you cannot donate, please share our story so it can reach someone who can help us.

❤️ We are simply a mother and three little girls asking for a chance to live in safety and dignity. Please don't forget us.

Donate or share our fundraiser: https://gogetfunding.com/help-hala-and-here-family/

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every donation, every share, and every kind word. May God bless everyone who helps us. 🇵🇸❤️

Alongside our efforts to help Soliman pursue his university education in Cairo, our family has just been hit with a critical medical emergency.

My grandmother was severely injured and is currently suffering in the hospital with severe joint fractures. She urgently requires a complex surgery that we cannot afford.

 🏥 Required Surgery Cost: $10,000 USD

 💔 Current Situation: Due to the devastating conditions in Gaza, we have not been able to raise any portion of this amount yet, and she remains in severe pain waiting for treatment.

X-ray scans and medical documents confirming her condition are attached to this update.

We turn to you in this dark hour hoping you won't let us down. Every donation and every share brings my grandmother one step closer to receiving her life-saving operation and relief from pain.

Heyy comrades !!!….I wanted to come back with a small update.

Thanks to the comrade who donated the $128 we needed, we were able to buy food and some household essentials today 5 kg of rice, 5 kg of maize flour, 5 kg of sugar, cooking oil and washing detergent. I’ve attached a picture of what we bought.

I’m so grateful to everyone who helped us get here. This support has given us some breathing room and I don’t take it for granted.

I’ve been quiet for a few days because our area’s transformer broke down leaving us without electricity. We only got power back today

I’m also still trying to reach the eight trans sisters in Gorom. It’s been almost a week since I last heard from them. Some comrades have checked in to ask whether I’ve managed to reconnect with them and I really appreciate that concern. I sent another message this afternoon but I still haven’t received a response.

I sincerely hope they’re safe. I don’t know what’s happening on their side so I won’t make assumptions. I’ll keep trying and share reliable news when I have it.

Thank you for helping us get food back into our home and for continuing to care about our sisters too. They haven’t been forgotten.

If you can help with food and sundry, I really need help with that stuff.

I'm so tired

I'm currently unemployed and friends who have been helping me are tapped out atm. I have a phone bill coming up in a few days that I'm short on. I have a appointment next month about possible job placement so it's vital that I keep access to my phone so I can hopefully get out of my situation and not have to feel like burden to gracious people who are also struggling

I am looking for literature surrounding mutual aid and related theory that I can incorporate into my curriculum.

PDFs, links, audio books - accepted.

PDFs/EPUBs (written material - downloadable) preferred.

Additionally, any anarchist theory that can be incorporated into my curriculum would be helpful.

Hello all! So I'm going to be fully transparent, I did get paid last night, however I'm doing my math on where to put my money and transportation is tricky, especially because my right leg is now broken. Yeah. Still going to work on a broken leg. Not sure whether to blame my workaholic tendencies or capitalism, probably both.

Well, I'm looking for help so I can afford to Uber both ways. I normally take the bus when I can, however that involves about 2.5 miles of walking going home, only like half a mile going to work. Doing this on my normal legs, even after long COVID, was very doable. Doing that on a broken leg is a lot more difficult. I can currently afford to do it a couple of days, but after that it's shaky

This is not as urgent as my usual posts, if I really have to I can limp over to the bus stop. It will be painful, but I'm always in pain. This is just looking for help managing a new found disability. I appreciate anybody that helps in any way, and I believe in collective conscious so even just feeling empathy helps
