Hello 👋

Please take a moment to read my story.

I am Heba Al-Dahdouh. I currently live in the completely destroyed city of Gaza. Since the war on Gaza began on 7/1/2024, my family- my father Nasif, my mother Asmaa, and my siblings Khaled, Ahmad, Muhammad, and Malak-have been living in constant fear, crying, and suffering due to shrapnel, shells, and bullets.

We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no homes, no cleaning supplies, and no clothes. Our house was completely destroyed. My school has been bombed, and my brother Khaled's university is now rubble, depriving us all of education. The war has forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents unsuitable for living, especially in winter.

Every day we live death, terror, and panic a thousand times because of the ongoing bombardment of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the start of the war, we sought refuge at my aunt's house, but it too became rubble. Imagine: we have survived imminent death more than 20 times and have been displaced among shelters more than 13 times. My siblings and I have suffered from many illnesses due to malnutrition, and we need medication continuously.

If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,

With your generous donations, even if small, you can save 7 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope.

With my warmest regards from the city of Gaza,

Heba Al-Dahdouh.

great question. while a lot of these gofundmes started to fund evacuations, since the border will not open they have shifted to covering the costs of daily survival in gaza

the cost of food alone in gaza right now has been reported by journalists on the ground (including @siraj2024) to be 20 times the normal price.

and it varies based on location. the north is currently being starved by the IOF so food prices are higher

and there is a lot of evidence on tumblr that proves that these fundraisers do help

@ma7moudgaza2 was able to buy a tent for his family and is currently trying to pay for a solar panel

@siraj2024 was able to secure rent for a (bombed out, but still) apartment for his family over the winter

@mohdiwais was able to fund medical care for his sister after she was shot by the IOF using funds he raised on tumblr

a gaza-based charity called care for gaza has also been directly assisting families with funds used from their gofundme. they even post videos of themselves giving out food

and those are just a few examples. hope this helped!

HELP A 19-YEAR-OLD STUDENT SURVIVE GENOCIDE!

Ahmed (@ahmadresh) was planning to study photographic design at university, but the occupation has deprived him of his education. He and his family were living a comfortable house, but it was bombed and destroyed, and now they live in a tent.

Ahmed and I are both 19, but while I pack for university, he struggles to stay afloat, unable to continue his education and trying to stay alive amid genocide. He and his family need our help, so let’s help them!

Their current goal is quite achievable - just $10,000 USD! I’m confident we can reach it quickly. I made this donation several days ago, and I’d like you to match it if you can! Even $5 will help, so if that’s all you can donate, donate it! If we work together we can get this family to their goal quickly.

Help me escape the war and reach safety 🇵🇸🇵🇸

My name is Amira, I am 8 years old 👱🏻‍♀️. I spent my childhood in northern Gaza, where I was in school every day, dreaming of a future full of achievements 🏫. But suddenly everything changed. My house 🏡, where I lived with our family, was bombed, and there was nothing left. We will plan your business hard, and I never imagined you would plan to start a monthly days like this. 😞🌹🌹

After the bombing destroyed our house, we had no choice but to flee to the south. We are now living in a tent ⛺ on an empty lot 🏫 with hundreds of other families. This tent has become our new home, but it doesn't look like it. There are no walls to protect us from the heat of the day or the cold of the night. During the day, the sun is ☀️ so hot that it feels like my skin is burning, and at night, the cold 🥶 is unbearable. Sometimes, I cry because of the extreme cold, and I cover myself with everything I can, but it is no use.📢

Donate

The school I live in is now a place that holds all our pain. I no longer go to school like I used to. Standing in long lines to get water has become part of my daily life.❤💔

I dream of returning to my old life, where I used to go to school and play with my friends. I used to dream of becoming a great person in the future, but now I feel like those dreams are getting further away from me every day. The war took everything from us: our home, our safety.

Part of our suffering.😞🙏🙏

I live in this place, and I don't know when we will be able to escape this nightmare. I wish I could scream as loud as I could, but no one hears. We are here in the shadows, in a world full of destruction and sadness. All I ask now is for this war to end, and for us to find a way out of it. We just want to live a normal life, away from fear and destruction. 💔🇵🇸💔

“It’s not a genocide because they’re not human."

Your average Zionist.

And they have the gall to cry and whine when we compare them to Nazis.

you may have seen me post about fidaa’s campaign @fidaa-family2 (this is a verified campaign)

graphic by @fading-event-608

fidaa is a 29 year old woman from gaza with two very young children, muhammed and sila, one of whom was born during the war. her home was destroyed and she’s been displaced many times, and is currently separated from the rest of her family- her husband, her many siblings, and her parents. i can only imagine how nerve-wracking this is.

she’s doing her best to take care of her children by herself, despite facing hunger, thirst, widespread disease, and the threat of death. the other day, there was intense bombing near her and another family close to her was killed. life in gaza right now is hell and she told me they feel like they are just waiting for their turn to die.

fidaa and i talk often, and i feel lucky to know her. she’s an incredibly strong person, she travels long distances to find limited supplies for her kids and helps her siblings raise money even though shes separated from them.

but she needs help. the situation in gaza is so bad right now, the idf is preventing aid from entering and the food, water, and medicine available are extremely expensive. please share and donate to help her and her children survive and eventually leave gaza
