Does it matter what I say? Even if people stop caring, we won’t ever abandon these six families. Even if you don’t see or share or click this, I’ll still be here every two hours for their survival needs until they tell me to stop.

Still. Survival. Needs.

„I'm a displaced mother
from Gaza, 8 months pregnant
Instead of preparing for birth,
I'm searching for shelter
and baby essentials.
Help me welcome my baby
with dignity through a share,
a prayer, or even $1.“

@enasalshaer2130.bsky.social 's fund goal is $15,000 but STILL stuck at only 13% of her very modest goal. Last donation 10 days ago! It's so small, only $15,000. Can we get her to 14%? That's only $93.00.

Can you donate? I know you can share, you're already reading this.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

💔💔 We lost everything in the war— our homes, our jobs, our safety. All that's left is hope, and even that fades a little more each day without your support. You may have moved on, but we’re still here, still struggling. Please, don’t forget us. We still need you💔🙏

Hello everyone. My friend Hazem is in desperate need of aid, even $5 he would be so grateful for. His family has been trying to raise enough money for a tent, but unfortunately his campaign is not doing well and most of the money he receives is needed for food. Please, his family deserves shelter

I’ve reached the end — no strength, no light left in me.
Donations stopped, hope faded, and our home lies in ruins.
Mona’s wound still bleeds,Majd suffers in silence, and I can’t fight anymore.
If I disappear into this darkness…

please, remember my children

The Ladies of Llangollen, Eleanor Butler (1739–1829) and Sarah Ponsonby (1755–1831), were two upper-class Irish women who lived together as a couple.
The pair moved to a Gothic house in Llangollen, North Wales, in 1780 after leaving Ireland to escape the social pressures of conventional marriages.

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel
