As pride month begins, let us not forget our Palestinian brothers and sisters.

this pride month consider helping out a south american trans woman

hi everynyan, it's me again. sadly i have bad news yet again. not only am i disabled, and at the best of times my wages are 0.69 usd an hour, that's right, 69 of uncle sam's own cents, for a total of 180 usd a month, when the cost of living where i'm at is ten times that or more.

and not only do i need life preserving medication that costs three times my monthly wages.

not only this precarious situation means that i stretch food to the point where i eat once every other day or go days without a meal.

and not only do i support a mother who's undergoing a cancer treatment, today one of my neighbors told the power company that i was "stealing her electricity" and now the lights are completely out.

so once again i come pleading and begging to all of you for anything you can spare so i can bring the lights back on for good and afford my medication. please, even if you can't share anything, share my post around so that it might reach others. i know you don't like seeing them, and i don't like begging as well, but this is the only resort still available to me.

my ppal is: https://paypal.me/V3nusP

Wait, but the windows 95 startup chime is about 7 seconds long. I wonder, is it slowed down when played back? Or did the constraints change as the project progressed?

Our Story as LGBTQ Ugandan Refugees

We are LGBTQ Ugandans who fled our homeland, Uganda, because of the severe homophobia from both the government and the people. Some of us were at risk of being killed, others faced arrest. We each ran to different countries to save our lives. I fled to Kenya, where I met fellow LGBTQ individuals who had also escaped.

In Kenya, we were placed in the Kakuma Refugee Camp by UNHCR officials. However, life there was extremely difficult. Just like in Uganda, the camp was full of homophobic refugees. We faced constant attacks and discrimination. It was nearly impossible to access basic needs because the Kenyan government was not supportive, and even some UNHCR staff members showed homophobic attitudes.

On December 19th, 2023, the Kenyan government announced that it would no longer provide support, documentation, or protection to LGBTQ asylum seekers. We were told we were not welcome in Kenya anymore.

With no options left, many of us decided to flee to South Sudan, as it was the closest country. Upon arrival, we were taken to Gorom Refugee Settlement Camp with the help of UNHCR. We’ve now been living there for a year and a half. However, the UN told us they could no longer provide basic support and were instead trying to relocate us to safer countries. The United States was identified as a possible destination, and our resettlement process was progressing well.

Unfortunately, when Donald Trump returned to office, everything changed. Our process was halted and placed on hold. This has left us in a dangerous and uncertain situation once again.

The South Sudanese government has now stated that we are no longer welcome in Gorom Refugee Camp. Society here rejects us, and UNHCR says they have no other option but to remove us. Eight days ago, we had a meeting with both government officials and UNHCR. Devastatingly, they gave us a 10-day deadline to evacuate the camp. A government official made this announcement, and it left many of us in deep despair.

We pleaded with them, explaining why we cannot be separated or live individually due to the dangers we face. Our situation was so painful that even a UNHCR representative cried during the meeting—but it changed nothing.

UNHCR explained that they had tried everything but that Trump’s immigration policies were the reason our resettlement process was stopped.

The government has now warned that if we do not leave the camp by the end of the 10 days, we will be imprisoned. Our cases will be canceled, and we will be taken to court to explain why we are in South Sudan, despite our sexual orientation being criminalized here.

We used to write emails to organizations and allies for help, but we were warned to stop because we wouldn’t receive support and could face more problems.

We are now left with no option. We are in our final day and have no funds to leave. We fear for our lives and do not know where to turn next.

i feel obligated to talk about this bc i am egyptian and one of the central reasons people from gaza have been fundraising is because of egypt's border policy, which is no longer active since the rafah border was destroyed

i know nothing gets people more heated or self-righteous than the idea that they might be getting scammed, and i know the gofundmes here can be overwhelming in your inboxes and i know for many people in the west who want some kind of reliable process this can seem sketchy but palestinian bloggers on here (and palestinians across platforms including on gazafunds.com) don't want you to be scammed any more than you want to be scammed, and they have put in an extraordinary effort to verify information literally in the middle of a warzone

the truth is you all have no idea how difficult this entire process is from top to bottom, tech companies and fintech companies literally hate anything that passes through this area. i'm banned from uber and doordash because i used an egyptian credit card while travelling and it flagged their automated fraud systems and they never reinstated it lol like that's how arbitrary it is. and egypt is one of the better-connected countries in the area.

the entire reason people in gaza are relying on gofundmes is because the barriers to entry and exit are not accidental—they're deliberate! this is literally what being occupied and middle-eastern means. it means you don't have easy access to bank accounts, you don't have easy access to fundraising, you don't have easy access to your own records, and you are automatically mistrusted by the world at large of how thoroughly dehumanized your language and your people have been during a genocide where you are being bombed and living in a tent. this is also part of what it means to be a refugee from the global south or to be a refugee from the global north, where these processes are expedited (as they were for ukrainian refugees, for example) precisely because they are part of the structure of a war.

like just to explain to you guys how difficult it was for me (someone with access to networks across the world) to get money to a friend in gaza, because egypt's also going through an economic crisis and transferring usd here is close to impossible: to get 15k usd (enough to get 3 people out of gaza) to the office in egypt that registers people for evacuation, that family needed

a stable internet connection to communicate with us (they were only able to get in touch briefly every other day)

first-degree relatives in egypt to register for them

people from abroad who could raise the money for them (which they did; they were family friends who knew them)

an egyptian with a usd bank account and a foreigner coming to egypt who could carry usd in cash to divide it among themselves because there is no other way to receive that amount of money here at once

we managed to get the money to their relatives here, they managed to register them, and then the rafah border was destroyed. so now the are just waiting while being bombed and displaced from one area to another. and this is a family who had every connection needed. imagine how it is for people where only one of these links are dropped?

that's why the work the palestinian bloggers do here to support palestinians in gaza is necessary, because they fill in for people who don't have good language skills, who don't have friends abroad to fundraise or vouch for them, who don't have relatives in egypt who can receive money for them, etc

does this mean every fundraiser is 100% reliable? no. this is why the verification list exists! the things i would be wary of would be if someone sends you a false or phishing link, or if someone who is running the campaign from abroad decides to scam the palestinians they're raising it for and refuse to send the money, both of which i've witnessed personally

but the likelihood of someone faking being from gaza and getting onto the verified list is much smaller because the verification process is rigorous and like i said, palestinians themselves don't want to be promoting scams. but also most of these gofundmes protect your donation, meaning if someone disputes it you get your donation back. they are paranoid to the extent that they will sometimes refuse to pay out people in gaza even after the campaign goal is reached for no reason except that anything from the middle east is generally regarded with suspicion. i've seen paypal also refuse to do the same

as a matter of fact from a tech standpoint it's so, so much easier for someone located in the west to create a fake gofundme/phishing scam than for a palestinian to do so, but by that token it's more difficult for someone in the west to convincingly fake being from gaza. which is why the verification list and other initiatives (like again, gazafunds.com) are so important

i have tried to get gofundmes on gazafunds before and i can promise you their process is rigorous. you might not see a lot of the paperwork behind a specific campaign but i know they don't add campaigns unless they verify their IDs personally or through a network of trusted references. the bloggers on here are a volunteer network working independently, of their own effort, and they are doing their best in what is a genuinely horrible situation. the border is closed now but people in gaza have worked out alternate ways to receive money raised online (again, often via relatives transferring to each other outside gaza or other means) and aid hasn't been coming in for months and those regulating the aid were killed, which means extremely limited supplies and high inflation, so money raised and received now is literally survival money that goes wherever it can, and people are very desperate to raise as much as possible as things get more dire. there is no employment in gaza right now. people have been living off their savings for ten months.

is that simple to convey to some blogger on tumblr donating 5$ to a gofundme? is it simple to understand? no. and that's part of the structure of genocide. you aren't going to be able to venmo someone and get a receipt like you do if you're donating to an org, so volunteers are doing their best to fill in the gaps for that by making sure you know how your money is helping real human beings while relieving the pressure on these humans, in a genocide with limited internet, to constantly post about themselves.

the fact of the matter is that your risk of being scammed by a gofundme from the verified list or gazafunds dot com is extremely low, but the damage of of assuming (and even worse, claiming) these campaigns are a scam is extremely high

if you don't trust a campaign, don't donate to it. if you notice a red flag you feel like the bloggers verifying might have missed, alert them to it. if you notice someone impersonating one of the verified campaigns on here (also common) alert people to it. i often have difficulty identifying which blogs are legitimate because they are deleted and remade so frequently, so i just try to reblog posts from the verified list or promoted by palestinians bloggers as i donate to them.

don't cast doubt on the process if you don't understand it, and don't be cruel about a situation you should pray you never experience—and odds are, if you have a US passport and a US bank account, you never will.

Rebuilding What Was Erased – A Message from Abedmajed in Gaza

My name is Abedmajed, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.

In a single missile strike, we lost over 25 members of our family. They were not just names. They were mothers, daughters, sons, grandparents — people we shared meals with, laughed with, and built dreams with.

The missile hit our family home — the heart of everything we knew.

Among those killed were: 🕊️ My mother 🕊️ My sister 🕊️ My older brother His wife and their three daughters 🕊️ My uncle, his wife, and all their sons and grandchildren

We were left with nothing but rubble and grief. Yet somehow, my brother and I survived. And now, we carry the responsibility of rebuilding what was taken — not just for ourselves, but for our father, our surviving siblings, and the memory of those we lost.

💔 Why We’re Fundraising

This campaign is not just about survival. It’s about rebuilding a future — A family home, a shared life, a place where our father can rest safely, Where the next generation of our family can grow up knowing peace instead of trauma.

💬 The funds raised will help us:

🏗️ Rebuild our family home — which was completely destroyed 🛠️ Provide basic support for our father and siblings 🏡 Create safe, livable conditions for a family shattered by loss

🔒 How the Funds Are Managed

Due to the collapse of Gaza’s financial system, all donations are processed through my brother, who has a U.S. registered Stripe account. Funds are securely transferred to Gaza and distributed in cash here on the ground. We are transparent and ready to provide proof of every step.

🌱 Why Your Support Matters

We are not asking for charity. We’re asking for a chance to stand again, To rebuild something we can pass on to the children who survived.

Vetted By @gazavetters No:537

Your support gives us the strength not just to remember the ones we lost — but to honor them by continuing.

💬 If you can’t donate, a reblog means the world. 🕊️ From Gaza, with hope and dignity — thank you.

Hello 🙋‍♂️

My name is Jaafar, I’m 24 years old and I live in Gaza City 🍉🇵🇸. I was shocked to find all my Tumblr accounts deleted and my main fundraiser post removed after it had gained many shares 😓. Now, I’ve decided to create new accounts and write this post with deep sorrow and heartbreak to start over again 😭💔.

Please, just as you supported me on my old accounts, support my new one and share my campaign post so it can reach as many people as possible 🙏🥺.

The situation here in Gaza is extremely bad. We’re facing insane bombing, starvation, and skyrocketing food prices—ten times the normal cost *if food is even available*.

In addition, there is constant killing, and our area is classified as a dangerous combat zone that must be evacuated! 😓

It’s a disaster, and any help from you could help us stay safe for just a few more days. Please, donate to my campaign even if it’s a small amount 😭🙏—your donation will mean the world to us 💔🫶.

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #299 )✅️
