We are a Palestinian family 🇵🇸🇵🇸 facing several health challenges: I have Type 1 diabetes, my wife is suffering tybe of blood cancer, and our daughter is on the autism spectrum. The medical costs are overwhelming.
Me: 28
My husband: 29years
My daughter: 5 years
Also if you like know anything about our case i can send you all reports 💐
in about 16 hours, it will be september 13th in palestine. elyaa, daughter of wasim and wafaa alkhaldi, will turn 4 years old. her parents have been fundraising since this april to evacuate with elyaa and her two younger siblings, six month old twins rima and anwar, who were born into this genocide and have known nothing else. for elyaa's 4th birthday i ask that you spare a multiple of four - $8, $16, $24, or more - and send it to the campaign that will get her and her family out of this horrific situation. they are already over halfway to their goal:
if you would like stickers or a zine in return, you may also purchase something from the birding for better online store:
all store proceeds are given to the alkhaldis' campaign.
note: i do not believe this campaign has been vetted by anyone on tumblr; however, in the gfm description there are links to instagram accounts of elyaa's family members and you can see many pictures of her and her siblings. my friend is in contact with wafaa and i believe based on what she has said that this is entirely legitimate.
also feel free to wish elyaa happy birthday in the gofundme words of support section!
here is a handful of palestinian family fundraisers id like to boost. (these are all verified fundraisers & ones i have supported in the past.)
Low on Funds:
Mohammed Family - Farhat Family - Yasin Family Albaz Family - Ayyad Family - Hussein Family - Tashmali Family - Abumousa Family - Mekawi Family - Dawoud Family - Almoghrabi family - Yousef family
Halfway to Goal:
Al-Deeb Family - Balousha Family - Mahmoud Family - Alanqar Family
Close to Goal:
Ayyad Family - Aldeeb Family - Saftawi Family - Shahwan Family - Shaqqoura Family - Ahel Family - Alhajjar Family - Shehab family - Al-Sharif Family - Ahmed Family - Jamous Family - Al-Talouli Family - Maliha Family
I was naive to think this site would be more sensible to Mahmoud's situation. This is just like on twitter where people share his posts but nothing else is done.
Only 3.2k left on his campaign yet it feels like he'll reach it in an eternity if ever. He only received €16 today. Very fun fact : if it keeps going at this rate (which is already wishful thinking) then he'll reach his goal in 200 days :)) !!
I don't think displaying his suffering and photos of all the people he lost on here would do anything to help. I'll only ask you to donate if you want to help a young palestinian taking care of his family. And if possible share his campaign as widely as you can and to not forget him please.
You can donate here.

I'll keep on adding update to this post to keep track of the progress of his campaign.
Hey yall I need to be able to get to work for the next 3 days and I still need a majority of the $ needed for my ibd medication
This is really important and time sensitive, I've gone multiple days without these meds and I'm struggling to manage symptoms, I can't miss anymore work. anything helps!
Soooooo... after suffering for weeks it turns out I most likely developed new health issues due to my autoimmune condition
I have an IBD, which means I can't even eat what little food we have rn. My next check is going to be abysmal with all the work I've missed because I have been severely ill. So I really need help affording food I can actually digest and keep in my stomach. ON TOP OF already needing to buy medication and food for the other members of my house including my dog.
Anything helps, I thank everyone for all the recent support it means a lot ❤

by the way this is the procedure to get out of gaza
it costs 5k USD per adult and 2.5k USD per child
if you want to raise this money via GOFUNDME it has to be arranged by someone who is NOT living in Palestine because GFM does not release money to Palestine. GFM also verifies every detail so it has to be accurate so you need someone who is out of Palestine and also familiar with the bureaucracy.
once you raise the money one of your FIRST ORDER RELATIVES have to deposit this money IN CASH and IN PERSON at the Cairo offices of a company called hala. this person cannot be a Palestinian male under 40 because they are not allowed to be Egypt without a permit
once you pay the money you have to WAIT for your names to be published by Egyptian military at the Rafah crossing and the you have 24 hours to get out
it is a very long and convoluted process that is impossible for most Palestinians who do not have contacts in other counties. Please please donate to the GFMs you see floating around because they’ve been verified and this is only the first step in an arduous journey. Once in Cairo, Palestinians aren’t allowed to work so they need money for their support also.
