I don't know what to say, so I will simply unload some of my heart and just be honest. This is an attempted GoFundMe for a long time pen pal friend I have in Gaza. She is a very beautiful person that I have corresponded with for years. I have been the only one whose donated despite sharing with the few friends I have and some family , a cousin of mine will donate soon. It has been up for a month with no donations in part because GoFundMe kept shafting it but I have now fixed it. I could barely muster the will to write about something so unbearable in such a dry and clinical way. I have no illusions that this will achieve the 10,000 goal but one must look towards the sun. I will be messaging popular Twitter users to try and share this later.

Sorry if this isn't the most moving post for something so important . I did landscaping work today an had a couple of beers after just to gain the courage to post this despite mostly being sober lately so I can read books more.

Please watch Balaha's two beautiful short films linked in the GoFundMe that I uploaded to YouTube, they were shot with an old iPhone. And also please let me know if my GoFundMe description is too personal and off putting. https://gofund.me/7365562f

Okay I will change it to that. Thanks for the engagement truly! If I I/we/the world can even do a tiny bit for this person an her family it would mean so much. But I know we are all funding strapped an there is much pain to go around.

Edit: Unless my brain no worky (which it doesn't) I guess you can't change the post /c/ so I will let it cook so to speak, then repost tomorrow in mutual_aid
