Donations Needed: Help a Gazan Skater Evacuate His Family
This is the link to help Hani. Hani is a skater currently living in Belgium and rebuilding his life. His family lives in Gaza and are suffering at the hands of the occupation. His father was killed and they lost their house. He is now responsible to protect his family.
He needs the funds to help them evacuate. Please donate and share this.
Read more about Hani’s situation below (from his GoFundMe):
“Hello, I'm Hani from Gaza, and I'm 23 years old. I've been living in Belgium for a year, and I'm an inline skater. I'm collecting donations to get my family out to safety from northern Gaza to Egypt because I can't afford the large amount of money needed. I'm here in Belgium in the process of rebuilding my life and achieving my dreams.”
“After losing my house and its destruction on October 13th, my family became displaced in tents, and on September 15th, I lost my father due to the attack on Al-Shifa Hospital. My father was suffering from kidney failure and passed away due to lack of treatment. He was the breadwinner of my family. Now I am responsible for my family, which consists of 10 members, including 3 minors, and my 18-year-old brother. The rest are my sisters, including two toddlers, one is 3 years old, and the other is 2 years old.”
“My siblings were university students and had dreams too, but because of the war, they lost everything; they lost the university, our home, and our father. They aspire to continue their studies at the university, but the war destroyed everything. I'm now trying to get them out of Gaza to Egypt to rebuild their shattered lives. To do that, they need to be evacuated, and they need to pay for the coordination into Egypt. Due to war time prices, they're asking for 5,000 euros per person to get them out of Gaza because northern Gaza has been completely wiped out, with insufficient food and people scattered among the rubble of homes under heavy bombardment. I hope you can help me through your donations or by sharing the story with friends. Thank you so much with lots of love.”

This one I haven't vetted 100%, but I trust it and we receive updates from the team organizing it. It was suggested by a follower but I decided to leave their @ unknown to keep their identity hidden because they discuss their personal relation to the fundraiser.
I've just donated 20 CHF to Eman's fundraiser. If you see this and have the means, please donate to her campaign and make a reblog saying that you've donated!
Eman's family is in danger right now and they need to evacuate Sudan as soon as possible. It has already been several months, and Eman is still not yet even halfway to her goal.
I want to try to exceed the halfway point within the next week. We're almost there. If you can't match my donation, please reblog and share. Ask a friend and see if they can donate. Everything helps.
I was asked to help share Maram's fundraiser. She is a young displaced Palestinian mother urgently raising money to evacuate she and her family from Gaza. She has only raised €225 out of her €30,000 goal so far! Please share and donate, and if you can't donate, please still share!
From Maram's GFM:
Hi, my name is Maram. I am 28 years old. I am a Palestinian from Gaza City.A mother for 3 kids. This is my husband, Ahmed, and my children are Habiba, four years old, kareem, two years old, and Mohammad, nine months old. My family and I went through very difficult circumstances in Gaza after October 7th
It’s painful to say that we lost everything. But yes
we did! We lost our beautiful homeland with all its memories, we lost our job, we lost our lives and our dreams. We evacuated our house with only a small bag of clothes before it was bombed and destroyed. So technically YES we have lost EVERYTHING, from the biggest to the smallest little detail.
We have been displaced 6 times. My children left
our home for the first time and moved to another home, and then we moved with the family to another, less safe home. Then the army ordered us to flee to southern Gaza, so we fled to the ground, then we ended up fleeing to a small tent and sleeping on the sand.
My family suffers from a lack of food, especially the
children. My child, Mohammed, who is 9 months old, ran out of breast milk due to malnutrition, and the price of infant formula has doubled. Kareem and Habiba saw the simplest thing that could be available to children, which is apples, so they screamed and cried, wanting an apple, but the price of one apple reached 10 dollars or more!! In addition, there was also a lack of healthy drinking water, which caused them severe stomach pain and diseases such as hepatitis A.
Due to the conditions imposed by the occupation,
the siege, and the lack of resources, it has become difficult for my family to provide the children with basic and simple needs, such as diapers. It is difficult to provide all the needs, and due to the poor quality of the types of diapers available, my children suffered from a skin problem
My family also suffers from not having a bathroom or even a shower. We can only shower once a month using a bucket due to lack of water. There is no electricity or gas either. Every morning, I wash my children's clothes in cold water and spread the clothes out in the open air. If there is food, it is cooked on firewood, which is completely unhealthy and tastes bad.
Me and my husband shared a beautiful life together. Our home was always filled with love and laughter.
My children are the most precious thing I have in my life.
Our lives were once full of dreams and hopes, but the never-ending cycle of conflict in Gaza shattered those dreams. Now our only goal is to survive.
While others dream of the future, we long for the past, remembering the life we once lived before the horrors of war tore it apart.
I have hesitated to ask for financial assistance for
several months, but the reality is that life in Gaza has become impossible in the near future. With schools destroyed and opportunities disappearing, our only chance for a better life lies beyond these borders.
My only hope is to save my little family and we need €30,000 to make it out of Gaza, to start a new life from scratch. It is very difficult to leave homeland, but we are forced To get out of Gaza.
Your kindness can make a big difference to us. Your donation, no matter how small, will help us escape the constant fear and uncertainty that has plagued our lives for so long. If you're not able to donate, simply sharing our campaign with your friends, family and social networks can also have a huge impact.
Together, we can give my children the opportunity to grow up in a world free of the horrors of war. Your kindness will help us build a brighter future and restore hope to a family that has endured so much suffering.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your sympathy and support! Your contributions will not only change our lives, but will also provide hope to countless people affected by similar circumstances.
add some visual distinction between the wonderfam by having them embrace specific mythological motifs — donna should lean into the moon + stars and cassie should have some sky and lightning symbolism. diana is more grounded comparatively to reflect her commitment to love and the people of the world
Thank you all to those who donated following the showcase of the last initiative! Thanks to your donations Mona was able to distribute 4000 Liters of water to displaced Palestinians in Rafah! Thank you so much you wonderful people. If you ever have any money to spare you can send it her way and you'll know it will be put to good use. Remember! Every dollar counts! P*ypal.
G*f*ndme for the initiative.
G*f*ndme to evacuate Mona & her family.
Instagram to track progress.
If you ever want to send her a message wishing her well and letting her know how much you appreciate her work, please comment in the tags or replies or reblogs under this post! I will send them her way! She really appreciated the comments under the last post and she said they made her very very happy!
Remember Hiba? This is her family. They are approaching their target but this is time-sensitive and needed desperately. Anything helps, even spreading the word.
I'm acquainted with some of the organisers for this campaign so this is trusted.
Since my birthday post died down I am posting this again, as these two women still need to get their families out of Gaza:
Rawda and Enas are single mothers with children who are stranded, unable to cross the border, without medical supplies, food, and proper shelter.
These fundraisers are being organized by Maha Saymeh and Dina Zaazaa, Canadian family members of Rawda and Enas, who are currently working to get them out of Gaza. Both were found under the Gaza Evacuation Fund Relief Fund page, which was verified by the Ottawa4Palestine team.
Here is Maha Saymeh's Instragram page.
Dina Zaazaa is an elementary school teacher in Ontario (x).
Both fundraisers have still have a long way to go before they reach their goal, so please reblog if you see this, and d0n@te if you can, even if it's just a dollar or two.
the organizers for Walaa's gfm are looking for 250 people to donate €100 each to reach the goal for evacuation from Gaza - right now we are at 13/250 - please consider being one of these people and sharing it around with your friends, followers, and families! Help Walaa and her family get to safety!
I've just had a long conversation with @haneenatya, I know a lot of people were asking me if she was a legit account and I couldn't fully answer before, but now I know for sure she is real and legit and this fundraiser has already been vetted before independently by this group on IG, and I got some proof myself as well.
This is a genuine fundraiser and a genuine tumblr account. Please help this family evacuate, they had a lot of hope of being able to restart their lives elsewhere. They have already lost more family members than most people reading this have in their entire extended family.
