Jamal has been trying on here for over a year to have enough to get his family out when the crossing opens which is hopefully within weeks 🤞🤞

Help us get out of Gaza
let us rebuild our lives, please, my friends. share for us much as you can during this period, because there is news that the crossing will open so we can get out from Gaza.

Here is Jamal from Gaza whose family lost everything and he is trying with all his might to rebuild their lives and help them with the crazy costs in Gaza and travel outside Gaza when the crossings open. I hope you support us. Your little support, even if it is $5

The ceasefire is just the beginning of families in Gaza rebuilding their lives so help if you can ❤️

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hadeel. Before the war Hadeel’s husband was a fisherman and they tried for 11 years before they had their first child Hani who is 10 now they also have a daughter Dana, 6 and little Adam who is just 2. They’re displaced and struggling.

Urgent appeal from a mother of 3 kids in Gaza
My children desperately need your help.
I'm their only provider, no food, no shelter.
& Hunger and fear consume them daily.
Please, any help is a lifeline in this deadly famine.

A ceasefire doesn't mean those of us outside Gaza stop advocating for Palestinians or a liberated Palestine. Dima's family is in need & she has a donor who will be matching donations until Saturday. Pls do consider donating if you can and/or share! gofund.me/7d29b8f48

I want to share something important with you. Our friend Nadim is planning to launch a campaign to support my family with a goal of $5000. The amazing part is that every dollar donated will be doubled which means your help can go twice as far.

This support will help us cover urgent treatments for my mother and grandfather and provide healthy food for my family. Your kindness can truly make a difference in our lives. Thank you for standing with us - your generosity gives us hope.

"Money can buy many things, but health is not one of them. If advanced economies are serious about tackling their frighteningly high rates of psychopathology, their governments must focus on reducing inequality, not chasing GDP growth that only makes the rich richer."

Thank you for this.

I would love to have the money for my oral surgery before my trip so I have one less worry outside of the reason I’m traveling (covid era landlord tenant case)

Any help is appreciated, and the GFM quoted has more details and updates.

Fear, anxiety, stress, panic, and desperation are extremely common when someone needs help.

So it’s very unfortunate people aren’t as receptive to more desperate pleas for help.

Anyways, help Juniper out, please. It’s quite urgent.

Juniper @coffinfairy.bsky.social · 21h

People advise you to not complain , beg or come off rude when asking for help. But fear of losing necessities to survive doesn’t make it easy to follow those guidelines. I’m human. I have kids. I’m in a really difficult situation because of my disabilities and being my son’s caretaker. I need help.

Seriously, I would respect a Vatican which lived on donations after donating its wealth to the poor. As is, they're among the most blatant hypocrites on the planet.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

🆘✅🆘
Three weeks after Mona’s surgery, her wound is still open and painful.
We fled the hospital before she healed — tanks were near.

🥺 She urgently needs antibiotics and daily care, but in Gaza treatment is rare, costly, and only for critical cases.
Please, help me save her.

💔This is my daughter Mona,8 😥
She was pulled from under the rubble when our home was bombed
The trauma silenced her —she hasn’t spoken since.
Her shoulder shattered,3 surgeries failed.
We fled last week before she could heal
She urgently needs costly care.
Please,don’t forget us🙏

A close shot of black dog with a white stripe on their chest and a white front right paw lying right to left with their head on a blue pillow. They are lying on a Mexican blanket thrown over (at least) two thick cushions, their head is facing the camera and their eyes are just tine tiniest bit open.

A portrait of a single brown dog taken outdoors in a sand yard. They are lying next to a green hurricane fence facing to the left along its edge, but their head is turned looking back towards the right. Bright sunlight casts shadows via some dense Ceder bushes on the other side of the fence, and pretty yellow flowers are blooming in a line next to her. The Gulf of MEXICO can be seen in the background, beyond the coastal scrub.

"If I didn't scroll past these mutual aid posts that's all my feed would be!"
- Sounds like a skill issue tbh- post more. 💅 Not a reason to ignore real need!

"It's never ending"
- Because help is never coming! We're ignored! Folks HAVE escaped the cycle of never having enough, with help!
