Deadline 20 August

Subject: Collecting the rest of the amount of my father's operation

Current process:

USD 2,850 / $3,550

Because of your kindness, my father was able to have the urgent leg surgery he needed after his painful fall. We used every dollar of the $700 we raised to pay part of the cost, but we still face a heavy burden. With the remaining $300 plus a 40% withdrawal fee, we now need a total of $700 to cover everything.

In Gaza, where every medical step feels like an uphill battle, your support has already been a ray of hope in our darkest days. Please help us reach this final amount so my father can recover in peace, without the worry of unpaid hospital bills. Your donation no matter how much can be the last step that allows him to heal and walk again.

💔🇵🇸 My Daughter Was Born Under Bombs — I'm Just Trying to Keep Her Alive

My name is Abdulmajid.

I got married one month before the war. Those were beautiful days — full of hope, love, and simple dreams. I dreamed of a small home, a quiet family, and a baby girl I could hold without fear.

But the war came… Suddenly. Brutally.

My mother was killed. My brother was killed. Children in my family were taken by the bombs. My home was destroyed. And my work stopped completely.

Then… in the middle of this nightmare, my baby girl was born. A tiny soul, innocent, unaware of the war. She cries from hunger, from cold, from the sounds of bombs shaking what’s left of our walls.

Today, I’m a father with almost nothing… Fighting every day to find flour, milk, or even a small meal to feed my child.

Prices are sky-high — a single 25kg bag of flour can cost $800. There is no work. No income. No safety. No stability.

I write this from under siege, hoping my heart will reach yours.

Even $1 can make a difference. It can feed a child, buy milk, or bring a moment of peace. Be the heart that reaches Gaza. Be the hand that saves.

📌 Please share this post. Let our voices be heard — not buried under rubble.

trans men are victims of transphobia, men of color are victims or racism, disabled men are victims of ableism, so on and so forth. none of the problems faced by these men are due to the fact that they are men. why is this so difficult for some of you to understand?

I'd like to tell you a story

One of my friends in high school was called Bailey (not her real name). She didn't have the easiest time, and she used to get in trouble a fair bit, and I really liked her and valued our friendship and wanted things to get better for her. Story + giveaway 👇🏼 (TL;DR)

We stayed friends on Facebook after we graduated high school, and I was so happy for her when she announced she was going to have a baby. She loved her baby so much and wanted to make sure he was healthy, happy, and safe. We didn't talk much, but I still cared about her just as much as ever - I bought her a mother/newborn skin care set, which came with a cuddly plush cow.

Bailey unfortunately continued to experience more than her fair share of trouble after little Leo was born (despite her best efforts), and I'm not active on Facebook any more, and I'm quite sure Leo must be a small child and well and truly not a baby any more by now. So unfortunately, I never got to give Bailey her present.

Now, many years later, I am friends with @hildanasr. Oh, how I wish Hilda had the luxury of being in a position where she could choose a skin care set instead of needing that money to survive. Literally.

Bailey made the decision to eat healthy to support her baby - Hilda has to eat whatever she can get her hands on, and is still trying to support the development of her own baby at the same time.

Bailey made plans to live somewhere safer and better for her - but she always slept in a warm bed. Hilda has suffered through a freezing, wet winter in a flimsy tent.

Bailey could turn on a tap and get a drink of water in the middle of the night if she needed to. I don't know what this is like for Hilda, but I have to assume it's long, complicated and dangerous.

Both women faced challenges. Bailey's challenge was complicated and real, for a person who has their basic needs met. I don't know how her story ended. Hilda's challenge is also complicated and real. She does not have her basic needs met. She needs our support to make it through this.

We have a chance to help

A person can care for a baby with the absolute minimum of essentials - breast milk, cloth nappies, a baby blanket - but they need food in order to produce milk, clean water in order to wash nappies, and money to purchase a baby blanket. If a child has nothing, at least let them have a small, soft blanket!

I've been trying to help Hilda eat properly for at least 8 months or more. It hasn't been enough. Giving birth should be something that a person can achieve for free at home if they are healthy enough to do so, but Hilda is not. She's been anaemic for months and can no longer have this baby safely at home.

She needs to go to hospital - where it is likely the hospital will be crammed with people, under-supplied, and under credible threat of danger from Israeli forces. Hospitals are running out of blood and "in the remaining hospitals across Gaza, there are not enough painkillers, anesthetics, antibiotics... or surgical instruments". (source). Hilda is among the one in four pregnant women in Gaza suffering from malnutrition. I am really, really worried about her baby.

Hilda has trusted me with her bank details, and I have successfully been able to send a little money directly to her Bank of Palestine account. If you're in Australia and you want to help, reach out to me. I can get it to her. If you're overseas, I have PayPal and of course, Hilda has her own GoFundMe. She needs our help.

If you've made a donation of $50 in AUD, CAD, NZD, USD or EUR, you can go into the draw to win a prize of basically your choice. What do you want? I've got a modded PSP with a Fluttershy skin, a PSX Mini, this sweet cow friend, and a number of valuable trading cards (MTG, MLP CCG). I can send you a book, some stickers - what's mine is yours. Send an email to soft.sunbird.on.tumblr@gmail.com and let me know if you've made a donation, and I'll reply with your number.

Last but not least, the tags. If you've made it this far, then thank you so much for at least reading the fruits of my labour. I don't tag people often, so please take your inclusion in this cloud as a compliment and know that I won't make a habit of it. Please message me if you'd like to be removed. Round 1:

Hey y'all -- I'm making this post on behalf of Sami and his family, who are currently suffering in Gaza. You can find their fundraiser here. I think (especially) in a time where people are experiencing so much cruelty, it's our duty as humans living in the world to try to help others the best we can. We've all wished for someone to be there for us in a time of need, and we can be that for other people.

Sami's family has a lot of young children and I ask you to please consider donating if you have the means-- even something small-- or reblogging to circulate their fundraiser. Anything helps! Thank you so, so much for even reading. FUNDRAISER.

Sara, a young Palestinian mother from northern Gaza, was only 27 years old. Her husband was injured as a result of the war. She had three daughters:

 • The first child, Mais, is 9 years old.

 • The second child, Faten, is 6 years old.

 • The third child, Sila, is 1 year and 2 months old.

Sara was one of the women who stood strong in northern Gaza. She did not leave, enduring the siege, hunger, constant bombardment, and genocide. Her home was destroyed, but she did not give in to the bitter reality. She held on for the sake of raising her children and providing them with basic sustenance. She set up a tent and stayed there with her three daughters

Sara was a young mother who carried heavy burdens at a young age. She went to many places and organizations to provide for her daughters, especially her youngest, who had not yet turned two and needed diapers, milk, and nutritional supplements to help her grow in the absence of vegetables, fruits, and milk to support her children’s health

One day, Sara went out to buy milk for her baby, but fate struck — a missile fell on her and caused bleeding all over her body. Sara passed away 😢

She left behind three daughters in my care

am Sara’s older sister and now responsible for these children. I appeal to every living conscience to please help my sister’s children live with dignity and fairness, and to support building a future for them

🌍 Gaza is starving to death — and the world must not stay silent.

❗This is not just a headline. It’s our reality.

No food. No medicine. No safe place left.

We cry out in every language, hoping someone hears us:

غزة تموت جوعاً

Gaza is starving to death

Gaza meurt de faim

Gaza se muere de hambre

Gaza verhungert

Gaza sta morendo di fame

Газа умирает о�� голода

加沙正在饿死

ガザは飢えで死にかけている

가자는 굶어 죽어가고 있다

Gazze açlıktan ölüyor

गाज़ा भूख से मर रहा है

Gaza está morrendo de fome

Gaza sekarat karena kelaparan

غزہ بھوک سے مر رہا ہے

غزه از گرسنگی در حال مرگ است

Η Γάζα πεθαίνει από την πείνα

Gaza svälter ihjäl

🆘 Please don’t scroll past this.

Every share, every donation, every voice counts.

Please read and do not skip.

The currency has collapsed, and the entire commercial exchange is on the verge of collapse. The paper value of every $100 is only $60, and the purchasing power of every $60 does not exceed $10. Simply put, $60 is not enough to buy one kilogram of sugar or one kilogram of flour! This means that work is worthless and money has no meaning. If you need $100 a day to secure a single meal of lentil falafel, fava beans, and a cup of tea... everyone is hungry. Those with good morals, principles, and values ​​are the most miserable and hungry. We are going through the most difficult times. We are only talking about one thing, so what about the cost of medicine, treatment, transportation, and many other things? Some people think this is exaggerated, but unfortunately, this is the reality. In order for us to survive and be patient, even if only for a short period, we are in dire need of your help and donations. With your donation, I may be able to provide a meal or medicine.

[fluffyeddybear]

We’ve reached $4,287 out of $5,000

I’m so close to the goal… Please, I just need $720

To provide food, milk, and a bit of safety for my daughter 💔

If you can’t donate, please help us by sharing this.

Every share could reach someone willing to help.

Every dollar makes a difference.

Every act of kindness brings us closer to safety.

Thank you from the heart 💔🙏

i have recently been in contact with jamal al-dahdouh, a sweet young man from the gaza strip. he is the oldest child in a family of six, with ages ranging from 18 to 4 years old, and they have been living in a tent since an airstrike destroyed their house. recently, there was a bombing near jamal’s tent, which destroyed it, too. the situation is critical, and he has reached out to me to spread his campaign. i’m helping him, but i alone am not enough. i urge you to share his campaign if you can’t donate, and to donate whatever you’re able when you can. no one reading this is powerless to help someone who desperately needs it.

in his words:

I am not asking for much — I only want a chance to live, a chance to continue my education, to get medical treatment, and to protect the remaining members of my family. That is why I appeal to kind-hearted people to extend a helping hand. Your donation, no matter how small, could be the reason save our lifes.

Who knows that I haven't been on Tumblr much for more than a week?

[fluffyeddybear]

unfortunately, we have another, horrible new emergency with 10-month-old baby ammar @ammar-family24

ammar seemed incredibly unwell for some reason, so samah took him to the doctor last night to see what was the problem - what the tests showed was that for some reason, ammar's complete blood count had dropped to an alarming level

he urgently needed 3 units of blood of $356 transfused to help him with this, but samah was only able to pay for one pack

the doctor has now stated that he needs 4 plasma transfusions in order to keep his condition stable - if he does not get them, ammar will slip into a coma and they don't know when, or if he will wake up

these transfusion packs cost $1000 after fees - before, they are $800

we have been able to emergency raise the first transfusion pack using what we had raised in ko-fi and my & my friends' own funds, but that is not going to be able to happen again as the cost is too high, so please, please help ammar. i do not know what i can say to convince you but please consider helping with even as little as $3. anything can help

he needs one transfusion pack every two days. please help us pay for the 3 more transfusion packs he needs

again, ammar will fall into a coma if he does not have them within those two days

samah’s original campaign and account are shared by 90-ghost, but it was shut down as her organiser’s bank account was deactivated

proof samah asked me to use my paypal / ko-fi account here

🕊️ Nadin’s Hope: A Mother, A Memory, A Future

Hello, my name is Nadin I’m from Gaza. I’m a graphic design graduate. I’m a wife. And now — I’m a mother.

I finished my design studies just before the war began. I had dreams of starting a small design studio, of making art that told stories. I used to think about colors, fonts, sketches. I used to think about the future.

Then the war came. And the future became something we tried to hold onto, moment by moment.

On October 22, 2023, I was pregnant when a missile destroyed my husband’s family home. 25 members of our family were killed — his mother, his siblings, his nieces and nephews, children. Entire branches of a family tree gone in seconds.

We were displaced twice after that. Everything we had disappeared — home, safety, routine, rest.

A few weeks later, I gave birth to our daughter. There was no crib. No stillness. No celebration.

But she came into the world quietly and beautifully. And in her eyes, I saw something I hadn’t felt in weeks: life that still wanted to grow.

Now, I spend my days holding her and trying to build a world around her that doesn’t shake with explosions.

We don’t know what comes next. There is no clear path. We are walking toward the unknown, step by step — with our daughter in our arms and hope as our guide.

🧡 How You Can Help

This is why I’m asking for support. Not for comfort — but for survival. To help care for one baby girl who entered the world after everything else collapsed.

If you can spare anything, it will help us:

Cover basic needs, so we can breathe and heal

Support a path toward even the smallest stability in a place that has none

My husband manages the donations securely through a U.S.-registered Stripe account. Everything is converted to USDT and exchanged here in Gaza. The rates are difficult — $100 becomes only 195 shekels (July 2025) — but we use every shekel carefully, with full transparency and documentation.

🎨 Sharing a Piece of Me

I want to share more than my need. Over the next few weeks, I’ll begin posting some of my graphic designs from before the war. They are pieces of who I was — and who I still am.

They may not be perfect, but they hold something real: my story before the silence, and my belief that beauty can still live alongside survival.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you. If you can give — thank you. And if you can’t, just sharing this post is a form of support I will never forget.
