URGENT!! FUNDS NEEDED TODAY TO SAVE A BABY!!

I'm so sorry. I have to ask you for help. I am in tears and don't know what to do. Raneen and Ahmed, @life-22, are my friends. They live in Gaza. Their baby Mohammed has cancer; we urgently need $900 before the end of the week to pay for his life-saving surgeries. Please donate to help the baby live!!
Their account is vetted by @90-ghost , @gazavetters (#576) , and @bilal-salah0. Gofundme takes too long, you can dm @life-22 if you want to confirm that paypal goes to them. Please help.
When you donate, please don't mention Raneen or Ahmed Hammad in the paypal message. PayPal is racially profiling and it is retaining all money that accompanies those names. PLEASE HELP MY FRIENDS SURVIVE THIS INJUSTICE!!

revolut is not working!!! the other links work!

different donation post cuz other1 is too long!
I am Valerie, I am a trans lesbian from London and I just moved to Norway from the UK, I am a video, image and sound artist + DJ, I am also a writer!
I've just moved to Norway, I'm looking for a job here, making art with beautiful people, it is just hard and expensive despite being the most amazing place ever!!!!
I'm leaving London because it is increasingly hostile to people like me in a really scary way and being there slowly kills me, but leaving London also entails leaving that sickly stability, so I need a bit of help.
If you like my art, buy some on zora or pay for my substack, if you just want to aid a girl in need, any donations would be deeply, deeply appreciated. I love this site and the extent to which this community (among others) has gotten me to the point where I feel I can chase happiness, I just need a boost to get there. <3 thanks for reading.

- Antonin Artaud - from General Security: The Liquidation of Opium
Destroy yourself, you who are desperate, and you who are tortured in body and soul, abandon all hope. There is no more solace for you in this world. The world lives off your rotting flesh. And you, lucid madmen, spastics, cancer patients, chronic meningitis cases, you are misunderstood. There is a point in you which no doctor will ever understand, and for me this is the point which saves you and makes you august, pure, wonderful: you are outside life, you are above life, you have miseries which the ordinary man does not know, you exceed the normal level, and it is for this that men refuse to forgive you, you poison their peace of mind, you undermine their stability. You have irrepressible pains whose essence is to be inadaptable to any known state, indescribable in words. You have repeated and shifting pains, incurable pains, pains beyond imagining, pains which are neither of the body nor of the soul, but which partake of both. And I share your suffering, and I ask you: who dares to ration our relief? In the name of what superior lucidity that usurps our very souls, we who are at the very root of knowledge and lucidity? And this because of our desire, because of our determination to suffer. We whom pain has sent traveling through our souls in search of a calm place to cling to, seeking stability in evil as others seek stability in good. We are not mad, we are wonderful doctors, we know the dosage of soul, of sensibility, of marrow, of thought. You must leave us alone, you must leave the sick alone, we ask nothing of mankind, we ask only for the relief of our suffering. We have evaluated our lives well, we know what restrictions they impose on others and above all on ourselves. We know what willed deterioration, what renunciation of ourselves, what paralyses of subtle functions our disease inflicts on us each day. We are not going to kill ourselves just yet. In the meantime, leave us the hell alone.
