I just discovered two of the people on the campaign I created were murdered. One of them was a child.

I feel like an absolute ghoul posting these conversations online but I need people to understand what is happening. I've been talking to Abdul and his friends almost every day since last year. I know them.

Every time the messages stop I know I may never even find out what happened to them. When and if they start again, I find out who is left.

Five people still need immediate transport from an area scheduled for bombing.

2/7 people evacuated

🚨📣A distress call from grieving hearts Together we face the harshness of life.📣🚨

To those with compassionate hearts and generous hands

We, sisters Alaa and Manal, come to you today with hearts filled with both pain and hope. The harsh winds of war have swept us away, and we lost our father and our lifelong support, our husbands, leaving behind children whose only fault was that they were born in a time when security was scarce.

Im Alaa, am a mother of two young children, a four-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy. Every day, I wonder how I will provide them with a living and the necessities of a decent life. Life did not give me a chance to say goodbye to my husband. All I have left of him is a ring with our names written on it.

my sister, Manal, she has three children: an eleven-year-old boy, a three-year-old boy, and an eight-year-old girl. Her suffering is compounded by a neck injury that is pressing on her spinal nerve, threatening her with quadriplegia.She needs an emergency operation to relieve pressure on her spine, but this operation cannot be performed inside Gaza due to the lack of resources. This makes caring for her three children an unbearable challenge.

Our tragedies did not stop there. Our sick mother, who suffers from pulmonary fibrosis, lives with us and suffers in silence. We have all lost our homes, which were destroyed by the war, and we have experienced the bitterness of displacement and displacement dozens of times. We lived in tents, experienced the harshness of homelessness, and today, we have no stable source of income to help us cope with the burdens of life and meet the needs of our children and our sick mother.

We have exhausted all our energy and our resources. We search for a glimmer of hope, for a hand to reach out to us and lift this heavy burden. Today, we appeal to you with broken hearts but with dignity that refuses to be broken, to extend a helping hand. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in our lives.

We believe that there are hearts in this world that carry goodness, and that your humanity will be our support. May God reward you for all you do. With deep thanks and appreciation,

Alaa, Manal, their children, and their mother.

There's a book that we had in our house growing up that I was obsessed with as a kid. It was just called "PAKISTAN: PAINTINGS BY LIN YONG AND SU HUA" and it was an art book of 100+ paintings/sketches by two Chinese artists who travelled thru Pakistan in 1978 and 1981, a sort of travelogue of their trip, and to little-kid me, it was some of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen. I have no idea why we had that book, but I would stare at it for hours, and it made me wish I could draw/paint/do whatever it was that these artists had managed to do.

Anyway, we've moved house a bunch of times and I lost track of the book and haven't seen it for probably two decades now. But I think about it now and again, and had struggled to find it over the years, but I finally, finally got my hands on a copy of my own and i want to cry haha

I was afraid that maybe the art isn't as good as I remembered, being just a kid and all, but I cracked it open and nope, it hits me just the way it used to. Maybe even more now. It's so fucking pretty. Have some random pages:

I am now on my fifth day without food… surviving only on water Not because I’m fasting by choice . I do this to save whatever little food I can for my family.

there hasn't been but one donation in the last two days for abdul and his campaign @abdulrahman-family ... he cares not only for himself but other people too. please you've seen the pictures of famine coming out of palestine, but of this is news i have faith they're hope because there's now goods now entering the markets of palestine.

if you were waiting for a time you'd thought your money would be of help please it is now, help the campaigns top their goals, the prices of goods have lowered and they need as much as they can to not risk having to go to the "aid centers" which have become death traps, as well as to heal and hopefully rebuild.

€5,855/30,000

it's a small goal please i don't know what else they will need till the occupation ends and they're accelerating attacks. help them, in all that you can do here and in the world outside as well, on their behalf i ask, let's fight for abdul and his family and his people wherever we can.

Are you a university student trying to learn under normal circumstances and still finding it difficult? Let me tell you about myself. I'm Mahmoud from Gaza, a computer systems engineer with only two semesters left to graduate. I'm about to get my degree. Famine is ravaging us, but that's not the main obstacle. It's the fees. To enter this semester's exams, I need to secure the required fees, which are about $800. These are the last two semesters, and I'll be done with university. I'm worried and afraid of falling behind an additional year. I must get this amount to finish this semester!

Dear student, to be able to access Moodle, you must pay 20% of the tuition fees for the registered hours for the second semester 2024/2025 as a minimum through payment methods: bank transfer, PayPal, or mobile Pay. Click here for payment methods. After payment, the notification must be delivered to Professor Raafat Muammar via WhatsApp.

Here is the exam schedule, the first exam starts on August 9th and this amount must be collected before this period to pay to the university and enter the exam!

Give me a chance to complete my education, donate what you can for me so that I can become an engineer and help my family and my country

Mohammed between past and present:

From an outstanding student in all subjects, winner of many awards in competitions at the state level, and a vice president in the school parliament, aspiring to raise the status of his country and looking forward to studying in the most prestigious and best European universities, I saw the future prosperous with success and achievements, until the war came.

Now I go out in the morning to search for clean drinking water, charge phones, find food and search for humanitarian aid

How much I miss my quiet life, how much I miss my home that was blown up by the *I$raeli army, I had a big and beautiful house equipped with the latest technological techniques, but after the war all of this became a thing of the past

But you can influence my life directly, by donating to my donation fund or by sharing my campaign with your friends, thanks to your donation I can bring a smile and life back to my family and contribute to rebuilding my home that was destroyed by the *I$raeli* army

My mother suffered severe bleeding during her surgery today and needs three units of blood. There are no units of blood in the hospital, and none of us can donate due to malnutrition.
