We are still here, but we are running out of strength.

In Gaza, every day is another struggle to protect my family and keep hope alive. Please don’t let our suffering become just another forgotten story.

Your support can make a real difference.

Hello all! I went to my girlfriend's house after getting out of the hospital. The prices dropped just low enough when I was leaving the hospital that I could get to her place, as it's a lot closer to the hospital. By the time I left the hospital, it was like 2am. She's also sick with this new COVID strain, I actually got it from her, so no new exposure.

Also gonna say this because someone helped me out with a pretty decent amount the other day, I had to go to 3 different hospitals to get everything actually taken care of. One hospital stabilized me for temporarily, but did not find the very obvious respiratory infection I have. Oh well, I just went home after that. Next morning I woke up to seizures so I went back to another hospital, and they just fucked me over, kept me for 6 hours and did literally nothing. No blood, urine, or mouth swabs were tested, they just told me to fuck off and took a bunch of my money. This was the hospital I went to directly after seizing out, so they were being disgustingly negligent. Gonna get a 10k bill sent to collections next month over it even though they did nothing lol. The final one helped quite a bit with stabilizing me from the seizures

Well, it's about $15 for an Uber home. Normally I'd take the bus, but breathing from walking long distances is hard, and I feel like even if I wore a mask hopping on the bus with mecha-COVID

Venmo is @thenewvenven Cashapp is $thenewcashtag PayPal is sh3lf1sh@gmail.com

Appreciate y'all as always! Thank you so much

Technically a bit late with the internet bill and phone is almost due.

Trying to get some work done and will be at it all day, but I will check back occasionally.

Really stressed out TBH.

Cash App is $QuingCrimson. I also have Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle. If you'd like to assist through those means, please PM me.

If you find yourself thinking, "Wait a second... surviving a siege? A real, actual siege in this day and age? That sounds completely unbelievable!"—well, you wouldn't be wrong. In fact, you'd be entirely right to feel that way.

The idea that a siege still exists in our modern, supposedly civilized world does sound surreal. It feels like something pulled from the pages of a medieval history book, not a reality that my family and I are enduring at the very moment you are reading these words. And yet, shockingly and tragically, this isn't a historical reenactment or an exaggerated metaphor. This is my actual, daily reality here in Gaza.

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 & Tent Life: Summer heat turns our tent into an oven, making daily living 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.

How is it that in the 21st century, my family is denied food, clean water, medicine, and even hope? Cut off from the most basic human needs simply because of where we were born and live.

And that is precisely why I am reaching out to you today... because my family and I urgently need your help, and there is a direct way to get that support to us.

Thanks to my friend Gerrit Elbrink, who is personally overseeing this campaign, every single cent of your donation will go directly to me and my family. There are no transfer fees, no hidden charges, and no middleman organizations taking a cut. Everything arrives intact—a direct, person-to-person lifeline. Unlike physical aid shipments that are routinely blocked or delayed due to severe restrictions, your financial support will make it through quickly and safely.

Since donations often slow down or stall for long stretches, I truly hope you will continue to support me and share my link with everyone you know.

I am not just trying to survive; I am clinging to my dream of completing my university education. I have received an official acceptance from the University of Glasgow in Scotland! 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 saving them from the heat of the tents and the cruelty of hunger.

Financial Breakdown:

 Tuition Fees (University of Glasgow): £33,200

 Emergency Needs & Tent Renovation: $1,700

 (In addition to travel expenses and basic living costs)

We have no one left to turn to but kind-hearted people like you. Will you welcome me to Europe and help me get there to build a future?

Please consider donating even just $5 or $10—every bit matters. Every single cent counts and brings us one step closer to relief and education. There is no feeling more heartbreaking than watching your dreams collapse before your eyes while feeling completely powerless to stop it.

From the outside, it may seem like the days are moving on, but here in Gaza, the effects of war and the blockade are still present in every part of our lives.

I have eight children depending on me to provide what I can, while trying to do so with very limited resources.

I am not asking for a perfect life… I only want to give my family some safety, food, and the basic things we have been deprived of for so long.

If you can stand with us, it would mean so much to us. ❤️

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.

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!

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. 🥺❤️

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.
