If you care about trans lives, please read.

My friend is a trans woman in Iraq, her name is Maha. She has always told me that she needed an adult to help her,

“an actual adult, we are just kids, you know?”

A few days ago, crying and having a breakdown, she told me that the adult she had always been talking to me about needing was someone that knew her and supported her the most in her life. And she realized this guiding figure would have wanted to kill her for being trans too if she were still alive.

The anguish, grief and hopelessness in her voice isn’t something I can just capture in simple words like this.

I understand my friend is a stranger to you, that you must know her a bit just like I do. I will show you of the arts I made for her in the past 2 months.

She’s bad at expressing affection but I could tell how much she adored them. These arts aren’t that fancy by any measures, but she would show it to all of her friends with giddy and joy. Never have I thought someone would be so delighted by creations under my pen!

I love her so much. And it kills me she’s in this agony. Please support Maha however you are able, any help you can give she needs. Nothing is too small, thank you for showing up. ❤️❤️❤️

It’s OK that you can’t single handedly lift someone out of peril, we are all stronger together! She’s already at 1/15 of the goal and I know we can go so much further!

Also this is a super cute portrait of Maha by @crstn-art 🥺💗so so precious! I can’t stop looking at it. He is such a skilled artist!

Elisea’s cousin and comrades had been trying to fundraise for a month for her late rent ever since the threats of eviction came out to pay the rent. Now it has been officially filed. I’m pleading for your assistance in anyway for their safety. Elisea was unjustly fired from her job on the new years after repeated mistreatment, no one can get back to their feet under this circumstance WITHOUT housing stability.

PLEASE share and contribute however as much as possible! Whatever you can give will be crucial to the survival of FOUR lives, even if it’s a dollar. We all deeply appreciate it.

Its Black History Month!

🚨🚨🚨Hari, an unhoused Black single mom needs a hotel room! $80 is needed urgently, she’s still outside!

Please help her and her child in every way you can! Shelter and safety is a human right. For her to not have access to them especially now is extremely dangerous for her and her baby!

Every dollar is a dollar they didn’t have before, any help, including a reblog is appreciated!

My friend Nader’s (@abdalsalam1990) family has been displaced and had to flee their homes more than nine times since the start of the genocide in gaza. Nader is only seventeen years old and works hard every day to share his brother Abdulsalam’s fundraiser for their family

€22,392 out of €25,000 short term goal! Help Abdulsalam and his family get through this war in Gaza

I’ve written in more detail about his family’s situation here. It’s very urgent to get this family to safety as soon as possible because Nader’s father suffers from cancer and needs treatment he can’t get in gaza, and Abdulsalam’s daughter Iman is only one year old and suffering from malnutrition

If you have any amount to spare today, please help this family survive the genocide. Thanks to every amazing person that has donated so far, their fundraiser has made a lot of progress, but they still don’t have even 50% of the funds they need.

They only need €2,608 to get to 25,000! can we get them there as soon as possible?? I believe we can. I know there are many kind and helpful people who will donate and share this post ❤️

I am so thankful that most of my Palestinian family members have survived, but the fact that some of them didn't (one of whom was a child only fifteen when he died) will weigh on my soul forever. And even through that suffering I know I am fortunate, for many more people have lost their families entirely, and even more have been killed. There isn't anything I can say that hasn't been already said, but please keep Palestinians in your heart in the coming days, and in the years after. Don't forget what has happened.

And I am even more fortunate that my family has the means and connections to rebound after this travesty. Many families do not have this luxury. Consider turning your attentions to those who need urgent help, such as this family, who is not even 20% to their goal.

Not sure how long I've been looking at the screen.

I don't know what to say to get attention.

Because that is what we need. The right words to get people to read the post and maaaaybe share it and a bigger maybe donate

I'm exhausted.

If it was just me I would probably just let myself die

But my kids have no fault in this

I didn't plan to get so sick so young that I would not be able to care for my family

Breathing is getting harder everyday and I'm not sure if it's the anxiety or too much mold or something new like my heart deciding that a heart attack would be perfect

I can't even help my partner he is the most depressed I've seen him

Like his grandma just died yesterday in the fire and not a year ago

Everything suck everything fails

I'm tired of this and I hate that I can't even have this breakdown at home. No, not even privacy, I have to be crying in front of everyone in the internet cafe

The mold is fucking over the house, we have overdue bills, I go out with my only pair of "good pants" which are so tore people can see my tights.

I no longer have socks of my own, my partner lends me his. Most of our clothes are moldy or so old they have holes.

The only pair of shoes I have are breaking

The only warm clothes I have is a very thin hoodie

In dizzy all the time

The cat's food will almost run out

Is there a way to fix everything?

It's tiring and very demoralizing not getting a call back from all the job applications

Standing and walking hurt terribly even with the special orthopedic insoles I got

Can we catch a break?

URGENT!!!

Our last post

Overall we need $1,030 to pay off a good chunk of our debts, get food, medication, secure transportation to the doctor appointments both for me and my mother in law, we need to know her biopsy results to discard cancer and if she will need surgery for her chronic pain and cancer treatment.

That will also help me renewal my healthcare.

As an aside the mold repairs are between $1,300 and maybe more idk if materials prices are up.

Please, reblog or donate.

It's only January and I already feel like we're better off dead.

$20/$1,030

Pay•pal K°-fi

Anything helps!! If you can't donate, a reblog could help us too!!

JANUARY 24TH

My mother in law had her appointment today, turns out her biopsy results were inconclusive, they need another sample, she will have to stay in the hospital from Sunday to Tuesday, fortunately as a retiree her healthcare covers everything except transportation, we will also have to cover food for whoever stays the night with her.

This also postponed her ciática surgery which is also urgent. She is in pain 24/7.

Fortunately we made the $1,030 goal!!!

Thanks so much!! 🙇🙇🙇

We will cover part of our debt but we still need to wait to know how much are the extra charges for not paying the full amount.

We still need help for the repairs and may we ask for help getting a phone and a bed? We've been sleeping in one bed all 9 of us, this has fucked my MiL's pain even more, please it's such an old bed it is only made of foam and it's all broken.

And maybe even have a phone? We really need a phone to write in the job applications.

$78/$380 <- phone+bed

$0/$1,300 <- this is for repairs!

Thank you, we're eternally grateful for your support, I'm sorry we always need something but it's been impossible to get "good jobs".

$108/$380

A phone will help us be more connected and leave a phone in all our job applications so they can contact us, if they even call back.

We also really need to set up another bed to make my MiL more comfortable especially since she will undergo multiple procedures this year.

We are 9 people sharing one bed that's too old and small for all of us.

Please, the mold is kicking our ass.

One of our cats is pooping blood. I'm don't even know how much that will be.

And the balance came and with the extra charges from lack of payment we have to make a $156 payment before the 23rd to avoid more extra charges.

PLEASE KEEP SHARING!!!

$118/$536

THIS IS STILL AN ONGOING NEED PLEASE!!!

The ceasefire does not erase the fact that Israel has committed an urbicide in Gaza.

Bisan Owda has posted multiple videos where she says that the ceasefire does not mean the end of suffering for Gazans-the tent cities, the displacement camps won't vanish, because every single infrastructure has been bombed; even optimistically speaking, it will take months to clear out the rubble. People will still have to spend the summer in the tent, maybe even the winter of 2025 won't see much of a difference. To quote Bisan, this is just a pause in the killing of her people- this is not the end of genocide or colonization from the settler state which had every intention to settle back in Gaza and push Palestinians out into the desert.

I don't know what is going to happen in the coming months, only that this is not the time to stop paying attention. The Nakba never ended and these fifteen months of accelerated genocide has caused much loss and grief. Right at this moment, Gazans are either trying to evacuate or they are trying to return to their destroyed homes and pick up the pieces- now more than ever is the time to stand in solidarity. Please keep supporting in whichever way you can. My friend Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj2024 ) is trying to return to the north of Gaza, he wants to return home. He needs to raise €2500 for transportation and other necessities. Please boost and donate.

Siraj is vetted at #219 in Hussein and Nabulsi's doc

I need to save transportation costs to the north until next Saturday. This time delay could have a price. The Israeli occupation will open the road on Saturday to cross to the north, and we want to return as quickly as possible to prevent the risk of displacement and fear that the road will be closed at any time. Speed in reaching the north will help foil the displacement plan.

Hurry and support to protect Palestine from occupation.🇵🇸
