One of those days where I feel like I typed the wrong words to help. Mahmoud’s wife has a baby on the way and they have two small kids- they’ve lost literally everything- any help is appreciated

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · 1d

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. Mahmoud was a computer engineer doing web development before this. He’s lost his job and home (and many coworkers) and is in a tent with his family including his children Zeina, 6 and Zane, 2. His wife Malak is 7 months pregnant.

It has taken a lot to get here, but we are finally nearly ready to haul my bum body across the country.

Everything to deal with my complex disabilities en route has severely ate away at what we collected.

Anything you can give towards tickets and unexpected needs is very appreciated! 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜

sorry for a couple of the ALT text typos, i did that from my phone cause the image wasn't on the computer (where i found it, anyway)

(this is me noticing "he his")

Noah Fisk || 📌 @noahfisk.bsky.social · 5h

found it.

Pap photo (grabbed from Getty Images) from the Midnight Madness premiere event for The Disaster Artist at The Toronto International Film Festival 2017. James Franco is pictured in the center, leaning in toward a fan as the fan takes a photo with him. He his holding her wrist/forearm (that is holding the fan's phone). I'm assuming to steady the image.

Noah, myself, can be seen leaning just out of frame on the right hand side. I believe the shirts we were wearing were orange. Again, I'm colourblind. So I'm going off memory of what was said to me. I know I have on a purple plaid shirt though. And I look incredibly unhappy and my gaze is focused downward (to avoid the flashing lights). It honestly just looks like I'm trying to jump straight out of the image and away from Franco. Which is a totally valid response to him being near anyone (to run away).

i also volunteered for the Midnight Madness event for The Disaster Artist

there is a pap photo out there where i appear, off to the side, desperately trying to be out of frame, and James Franco is right there taking a pic with a fan

Every father dreams of giving his children safety —
but for me, safety means a roof that won’t disappear tomorrow. 🏠💔

We’re short on this month’s rent — $500 needed before the 15th —and without it, my children will have nowhere to sleep in peace.

Your kindness can be our shelter this month. 🙏❤️

“Daddy…we just want to live like before”
Small words from my kids, yet they fall on my heart like a mountain.

I'm trying to provide my family with the simplest of needs.. but sometimes I feel the weight is too heavy to carry alone.💔

Your support can ease this burden.🙏

People don't understand that they're already paying for healthcare for undocumented immigrants - in their premiums. What do you think happens when someone lands in the ER and they're uninsured?

The only thing that would be different if we offered healthcare to them is that we would have more data

thanks all for the help and support

tbh there may be 1 or 2 things i can still try

but 90% of my energy has been spent on preparing to live outside

rather than counting on the systems which have failed me over and over again

i'll just be ONE more person in the position millions have been in
