Thanks to your generosity and solidarity, we have successfully reached our first goal of raising €1,400 to secure passports. This is a significant step for our family, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed and supported us in this crucial phase. Words cannot express how much your support means to us during these difficult times. 🙏❤️

However, our journey is far from over. We now move to our second goal, which focuses on securing travel coordination and providing for the basic needs of our 6-month-old baby. Born amidst the bombing and destruction, our baby is currently suffering from a lack of infant formula, diapers, and basic healthcare. Living in tents with scarce resources and the spread of diseases, the situation is dire.

With the high cost of living in Gaza, securing these basic needs, in addition to coordinating travel, has become extremely challenging. The expenses associated with transportation and evacuation are overwhelming, and we need your continued support to help ensure our baby can escape these devastating conditions.

Our second goal is to raise €5,000 to cover :

Living in tents is exhausting and filled with daily challenges; we have no clean water, electricity, or proper medical care. Every day we struggle to survive amidst constant bombings and the dangers surrounding us. Your support gives us hope that we can provide a better life for our child.

save my family

I am Samah, a mother living with my family in Gaza under harsh and difficult conditions due to the ongoing war. We are currently living in a tent, which is extremely challenging, especially with winter approaching and the hardships it brings. Our tent does not provide adequate protection from the cold and rain, exacerbating our suffering, particularly with young children who need care and attention.

Today, I am reaching out to ask for your help in achieving our primary goal:

securing passports for my family of ten, Each passport requires 140 €, totaling 1,400 € for our entire family.

Obtaining these documents is the key to escaping the horrors of war and seeking a safe future for our children. As shelling intensifies and the realities of war loom over us, we live in a constant state of increasing anxiety and fear for our lives.

Every moment that passes brings new threats, making us feel that time is running out. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the crossing out of Gaza may open soon, which adds to the urgency of our need to be prepared.

-Donation link (GFM)

Every donation, no matter how small, briangs us closer to our goal and a fresh start away from the current chaos. We sincerely ask for your support. Whether through a donation or sharing our story, you give us hope for a better life. We are deeply grateful for any help during these tough times. Thank you for standing with us

update

Thank you friends, we are getting closer to (the goal Short) .

Currently at : 800€ / 1400€

Samah's story :

"I am Samah from Gaza, and I am reaching out to the free people of the world to help save my family from the genocide we are facing. We are a family of five: my husband, our two daughters (aged 9 and 2), and our 6-month-old infant son, who was born under the constant sound of drones and warplanes amidst heavy shelling. Because of the war, we lost our beautiful home, which we had built with years of hard work and sacrifice, and we have been displaced multiple times, moving from place to place in search of safety, but the bombing follows us everywhere.

We have lost our jobs, and my husband is now responsible for his three siblings, who have also lost everything. We are trying to survive in tents without running water or electricity, struggling daily to find food and water. We often wait for hours to get untreated water, and obtaining food comes with great risks. The simplest necessities of life have become luxuries beyond our reach; bathing is rare, and baby formula and diapers are almost impossible to find, and if available, they are extremely expensive.

In the winter, we suffered from the freezing cold inside the tent, and now we are enduring the extreme summer heat. Our children are getting sick due to the unsanitary conditions, suffering from skin rashes and respiratory infections. The situation is worsening, as we have no proper medical care, and our children are at risk of diseases like polio due to the contaminated water in Gaza.

We live in constant fear, with death lurking at every corner—whether from the bombings or the harsh living conditions. Every day could be our last. Our only hope lies in God’s mercy and the support of those who stand with us during this horrific time."

Help me spread it, thank you.

Dear friends

In the past, your generous support has made a significant difference in my life. Today, I’m reaching out to ask for your help for someone very dear to me: Hazem and his family, who are in urgent need of our support.

Hazem and his siblings are like a second family to me. We grew up as neighbors and shared many experiences together. Currently, they are facing severe challenges in Gaza, and Hazem has broken down his campaign into smaller, achievable goals.

He has already reached the first goal of €5,000, which was necessary to secure the safe exit of his younger brother. Now, he hopes to achieve the second goal of €10,000 by the end of this week, which will help ensure the safe departure of his younger sister and another sibling.

Every donation, no matter how small, will have a profound impact and directly assist this family. I ask you to contribute what you can and share the campaign with your network. Let’s come together to provide them with the hope and support they need during this critical time.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity. Together, we can make a real difference in Hazem and his family's lives.

@hazempalestine

just making sure everyone sees this very important update about @wafans-blog's campaign! basically, we need to reach $85,500 by Sunday August 18th to cover gfm and international transfer fees. this is the final push to get two families to safety! $5,338 to go, every $5 matters

plain text and tags under cut

Donations have STAGNATED because people are seeing the 80k goal get completed. Please keep donating, we’ve only raised $20 in the past hour for Shaima and Muhammad!!

The new goal is now $85,500 but the organizer could not change it on the webpage for fear that gofundme will either freeze the campaign or increase the platform fee they will deduct. So please help us get to this new goal to offset international transfer costs and the platform fee.

The Magikarp plush raffle and the two custom tote bag raffle are still open for entry!! Please donate whatever you can spare and enter for a chance to win these prizes!

TIME SENSITIVE: Get Shaima to 80k BY SUNDAY

Hi all, I am writing this post because we have only raised 1k in the past 12 hours, and there has only been 2 donations in the past hour. I am writing to this now knowing the family has now officially been tentless for two days now, after they were forcibly displaced from al-Mawasi camp because of drone strikes extremely close to where they lived. Just last night, the iof targeted a FAMILY HOME during a series of targeted bombings and everyone in the family except for a 3-month-old baby girl was martyred.

Situation in Khan Younis has been and still is escalating, even as I type this. The kids and their parents have been forced to sleep in the streets, potentially exposed to passing drones. Please help this family raise the remaining amount so they can buy food and essential supplies such as tents, baby formula, and fresh clothes for the kids, as the family escaped with NONE OF THEIR POSSESSIONS.

It hurts Shaima, who is a cook and a culinary teacher, to see her children and her nieces and nephews have hardly any food to eat. They were forced to eat cooked flour slurry and plain cooked dough for weeks if not months as food scarcity worsen.

Let's raise the remaining amount so the family can buy a tent for the children to sleep in, and buy kitchen supplies and food to cook meals while they wait for evacuation.

Hala agency told Wafaa the family can only be evacuated together if the full campaign goal is reached by SUNDAY (August 18) at the very latest. We have 18.5k left to raise. To accomplish this we need your help. Currently $61,556 raised of $80,000 goal as of August 13.

There has been NO DONATIONS in the past half hour. Please donate whatever you can spare to save this family. For donors, check out and enter the Magikarp plush raffle or the custom made tote bag raffle.

Thank you to everyone’s generosity we hit 80k!!! But unfortunately what we had feared has become a reality. Gofundme takes $3,500 platform fee for this campaign when the organizer, Said, tries to help transfer the evacuation fund to Wafaa. Additionally, the international transfer fee for large amounts is $2,000.

This means Shaima and Muhammad would need $5,500 more in order to get the full amount to pay Hala agency for their registration for evacuation. We still need the amount by SUNDAY.

Wafaa feels extremely embarrassed and ashamed by this situation. She had told me she fears she will taking resources away from other Palestinian families, which is not the case at all. The only culpable parties are the international banking system and gofundme’s corporate greed.

Said cannot increase the campaign goal because historically gofundme has frozen Palestinian campaigns that have increased the goal to accommodate the platform fee cut. So please keep donating so we can hit $85,500 by Sunday. We still need to raise $5,358 in the next three days. This is achievable with your help.

My friend apologizes for the delay on the release of the second tote bag design, she is chronically ill and has been in and out of hospitals. The unveiling of the second tote bag design will be on Friday!! We only have 25 entries for the tote bag raffle so far, so please keep donating and entering the raffle

DO NOT SCROLL, URGENT CAMPAIGN.

[pt: Do not scroll, urgent campaign.]

I am making this post to clear up some confusion regarding Momen's campaign that may have prevented people from donating because it made them sceptical about its legitimacy. This confusion is most likely caused by the failures of machine translation.

Momen is attempting to evacuate ten family members, with the cost of evacuation for each being €7,000. So far, the amount raised is only enough for two. The family members are:

Their newborn babies are suffering from a number of respiratory issues. One of the younger members of his family contracted Hep C due to water contamination (and I apologise for spreading misinformation, as I truly did think it was his child, but it isn't). His hopes are to get his family evacuated so they can all receive urgent medical attention.

Momen is only 24 years old. He is bearing an unimaginable weight on his shoulders. He's essentially been begging for several months now since the campaign's creation to an uncountable number of strangers who have bared little to no heed to his campaign. His campaign has struggled to receive any traction. His blogs have been banned and suspended, over and over and over again. And honestly? Even with all this information in mind, I still don't know what it takes to get you people to donate.

Is it the lack of money? Well, that's not it! You people help raise thousands for AO3 yearly. Is it that you think he's a scammer? He's been vetted as number 125 on that spreadsheet, so that's probably not it unless you think Palestinians are scammers by default. Why are you letting yourself become desensitised to their pain? Why does every facet of their misery need to be posted for you to care, and even still you won't?

The campaign is behind on its short term goal. Severely behind, only €854/3724. The deadline is the end of tomorrow, and if we don't reach it then God help us, because then it will take even longer to fill the gap for the funds for each member's evacuation. Every campaign is urgent. Even the ones that don't list it as such. They're undergoing bombing, they're forced to evacuate from place to place while ill and terrified. You think they want to live another minute of this? Another day?

[pt: Every amount helps. I feel like a broken record saying this. Just donate. However, you much you can. 1, 20, 5, if that's the most you can. Share as much as you can.]

The child, Mohammad, must be treated🙏

Many difficulties and dangers happened to us. No one can understand or feel it. This life is the hardest. My son Muhammad is in a very bad situation. Unfortunately, medical hospitals have stopped. He is in a very difficult situation. I have nothing left in this short life. After the occupation destroyed everything, our home, my future, and my dreams.

Muhammad must leave Gaza immediately, there is no time to wait, and he must complete his treatment and live like any child in the world. There are no necessities to live in Gaza. It has become very difficult. The bombs gathering above our heads are poisoning the water we drink. There is no food except at fantastic prices.In particular, Muhammad, his food and drink, in particular, we suffer from high temperatures. Children who cannot afford it.

Adopting Muhammad's cause Consider him your child❤️

The story of my father and mother who suffered from illness and lived under the wall of a tent

“The tent was their only shelter. Its winter wall was made of threadbare fabric that did not protect them from the cold or summer heat. Inside, they were lying on a thin mattress, two defeated bodies suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure. They woke up every day to the sound of chronic pain and dreams. That relaxes with every breath.

Two Palestinian Families At Risk

One, Mohammed and his wife Manal. They have five children, the oldest of which is only seventeen, and the youngest a newborn whose mother is struggling to breastfeed due to her own malnutrition.

Two, Shaimaa and her husband Mahmoud. They also have five children, the oldest of which is only eighteen, and the youngest eight.

Mohammed and Shaimaa are the brother and sister of @wafans-blog, who succeeded to raise funds for her own immediate family's evacuation, and is now seeking to do the same for her siblings, nephews, and nieces, while she is currently receiving urgent medical care in Egypt.

I can't possibly list all the horrors that the twelve of them have faced. I can only name some:

The border could open in the following days, and we have already let these two families down by not reaching their long term goal of 80k by that time, but the least we could do is to raise enough to evacuate as many of them in the next few days.

Tagging for reach under the cut:

Please, my family needs you. Every minute is a threat to their lives. The infant's life is in danger and he needs complete care outside. Please, no matter how small your donation is, it gives a step forward for their campaign. Please donate if you are able and share with donor friends who are able to help🥺🥺🥺🙏

My name is Fatima Alanqar, I am 30 years old, and my husband Bilal Dader is 33. We are parents to five children: Yazan (12), Fadl (11), Zina (10), Rajaa (7), and our baby girl Basma, who is just a year and a half old.

We live in Tal AlHawa, Gaza. In the early days of the war, we were forced to flee our home after it was completely destroyed by occupation forces with fire and missiles. Our car was also burned down to a heap of metal, and all our clothes were burned too. We have been displaced 17 times, each time escaping death by a miracle. We walked long distances on foot with our children who struggled to keep up, driven by fear to escape danger.

Help save Bilal's family!

i want to talk about my friend Bilal @bilal-salah0. for over a year now, Bilal has been living in germany, trying to adjust to his new living situation in a foreign country, learning a new language and working full time. 

when the war started, he was far away from home and his family and has been living in daily fear for their lives ever since. 

being forced to work long hours and promoting his family’s fundraiser at the same time, he has taken on more responsibility than anyone ever should. still, he managed to raise money for their evacuation fund and helped take care of his family’s daily needs with the money he was making while working. 

in a cruel twist of fate, all of this got taken away in an instant. he lost his job and his apartment and even his residence permit. which means he is at danger of deportation from germany that could happen as soon as next week!

i have been in daily contact with Bilal for a while now and connected him with some of my friends in germany. together, we are trying our utmost to make sure he can stay in the country. anyone who knows german bureaucracy knows what kind of hell it is. but we won't give up.

without his job, he was forced to dip into the money of his family’s evacuation fund to cover their daily expenses like food and shelter. this meant he had to raise his goal from €70,000 to €100,000. this was not an easy decision for him to make, he even asked for my advice on whether or not to do it, because he did not want anyone to think he was scamming people. 

even in such a desperate situation, Bilal does not want to be seen as someone who would ever take advantage of people's generosity

his family is comprised of 18 members, 10 of them are adults and 8 are children under 16 years old, some of them newborns who were born amidst the chaos of war and displacement.

currently, he is sitting at:

€71,817 / €100,000

donations have been slowing down ever since he reached his original goal. i cannot stress how important it is that they pick back up!

WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! HE NEEDS TO REACH HIS GOAL BY AUGUST 15TH!

THAT MEANS HE HAS TO RAISE NEARLY 30K IN THE NEXT TEN DAYS. THIS CANT WAIT.

his campaign has been verified and can be found on @/el-shab-hussein’s and @/nabulsi’s list of vetted fundraisers here (#132, line 136) so PLEASE don't hesitate to share and donate.

With such a tight deadline, i cant do this on my own. So i implore you to PLEASE share this wherever you can– on your whatsapp groups, on your discord servers, please share his story on other platforms wherever you have reach! Please share his story wherever you can, so that we can ease this burden from his shoulders.

Help Bilal's Family Survive!

After Bilal @bilal-salah0 reached his goal on August 1st, he contacted me to let me know that, because the Rafah crossing is still bombed and closed, he can't actually use the funds to evacuate his family right away. The funds have since been redirected toward the skyrocketing cost of living in Gaza.

His family now has to raise another €30,000 as soon as possible to sustain themselves before the Rafah crossing opens, which could be as soon as next week for all we know.

My post celebrating Bilal getting close to his original GFM goal has over 7,000 notes, yet Bilal is only bringing in €20 every hour or so, which is a sharp decline from his previous momentum.

Bilal is still struggling with his own housing insecurity in Germany and the looming threat of deportation. Despite this horror, he's put the work in to vet a handful of fundraisers, promote fundraisers, and call out scams for us. He is simply too busy to campaign for his family on his own.

I encourage everyone to donate to Bilal's family and share his campaign with people you know on other social media platforms. You can repost any of the art people have made for him and share the pictures on his gofundme.

Bilal is a valuable member of our community! Please don't let him fall through the cracks!
