i am begging people to stick with mohammed @mohdiwais as his campaign continues. he can't afford for engagement to be dropping off when these donations are his sole way of supporting 27 family members. i don't even have the words to convey how terrifying it is for all of them to see hours, or days, stretching between donations.

they are being bombed constantly, they have no home or jobs to return to, their children are severely traumatised. all of them need food, winter weatherproofing, medicine. this isn't a game or a fun post; it's their lives.

i don't know why tumblr has seemingly decided to stop caring about this family overnight but it's terrifying me, too. please toss them a reblog at the very least, and donate what you can spare.

Your donation is important to help my three children💔💔💔💔❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I am Youssef Abu Al-Rish, married and have 3 children from the destroyed Gaza Strip. Before October 7, I had a house and shops before the brutal war on the Gaza Strip. I want you to help me so that my family and I can be together again. My wife, children and I have been displaced dozens of times and my house was completely destroyed. There is no life, no food, no drink. A very tiring life. Help me

I have no source of income

Every day we live life with great difficulty to provide the least basic needs

As much as possible, I try to protect my children from death every moment we live in Mawasi Khan Yunis

These are pictures of my house after it was bombed
