Abdel Majeed needs to raise $700 to cover travel and coordination costs to Egypt, where he and his family have citizenship.
Below is his message to you about his family’s current situation - please read, and help however you can.

chuffed.org/project/1286...

Dear friends and generous supporters,
We are a small family in Gaza, living in unbearable conditions. The war, which is said to be nearing its end, has destroyed our home, leaving us without a dignified life in Gaza. My wife suffers from severe depression and urgently needs "Leponex" medication, which is unavailable here. The hospitals are destroyed, and medicines are scarce. Staying in Gaza worsens her mental health day by day. Our daughters, Iman and Bayan, are deprived of education, and their dreams of a brighter future are fading .We hold Egyptian citizenship and are desperately waiting for the Rafah crossing to open as a humanitarian case to relocate to Egypt, where my wife can receive the mental health treatment and medication she needs, and we can start a new life.
We urgently need $700 to cover travel and coordination costs once the crossing opens. Every dollar you donate brings us closer to saving my wife from her suffering and securing a future for Iman and Bayan. Be our hope.

i lost my cousin earlier this week in what was most likely a freak accident (a medical event, we are not exactly sure what caused it) and i'm still just reeling. we were pretty tight in childhood but not so much as adults... i really wish i had known her better. hug a loved one today

A message from Abdel Majeed today. If you are able to help him and his family, please give what you can.

chuffed.org/project/1286...

Screenshot of a post from Abdel Majeed’s fundraiser. There is a photo of him and his daughter, Bayan, from before October 7th. The top portion of the message in Arabic seems to be added by mistake, but it reads “Hello, my friend Alison. Please add this to my page.” Below, in english: “My friends, two years have passed since the war. The war has destroyed everything beautiful in our lives and left us in the unknown, torn apart from within by the separation of our loved ones. If it weren't for you standing by my side during the past period, I wouldn't have been able to complete my life's journey. Your questions about me every day are beautiful and I will never forget them. I am still alive and breathing. My friends, always be our hope. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

it’s my birthday! link is in the bio of @abodhajaj.bsky.social 🎁 reply here and tell me what small thing you’re doing to focus your care!

thank you @pepperbloom.bsky.social and @valkwise.bsky.social

i was born. happy to still be here! 🥳

in a few weeks, baby Mila will be born. her parents, Aya and Abod, are excited to welcome their second child, a little sister for Leen! they deserve to be safe and healthy so they can take good care of Mila.

for my birthday, i wish for my friends to help the Hajjaj family prepare for Mila. just $5 or $10 will help a lot, and sharing this post is another easy way to help! link below 👇

if you are feeling overwhelmed about the state of the world right now, the best thing to do is focus your care on one thing at a time. today, you can help a family in Gaza buy diapers for their baby. next week, you can check your local library for community events and resources (yes i am biased, but for good reason-libraries are free!)

next year, i hope we can can celebrate a free Palestine before i turn 29 and before Mila turns 1. thank you! 🍉

btw the key phrase here is "if you dont like making comics." if you are out there havin fun plotting your GN go for it. but if u are like me at 18 and think u arent a "real artist" unless u are pouring hours of your life into a "real project" that isnt actually fun to make like, chill. just post
