really valuable little piece from a 17 year old poet and writer in gaza about the reality and indignity of relying on foreign aid solicited online. this has been the reality for gazans since the beginning of the genocide when a lot of people lost their jobs. while a lot of discourse around online fundraising understandably centers the necessity of this aid (or, less sympathetically, the feelings of westerners who object to the knowledge of our position of power that gazan fundraisers reveal) i really think the perspectives of the palestinians who do the e-begging has been lost.

notice how his post never once suggests you should /stop/ aiding gazans through donations or even deprioritize it. what he is asking is explicitly solidarity, not charity. while it cannot undo the hierarchy inherent to the practice, radical charity is a thing and i think we owe it to people like yazan that we do not see gazans as a helpless population (or a horde invading our attention) but people in their own right using the tools available for them, as we use the tools available to us to help keep them alive.

this post was taken from @abolishtheusa on instagram, and yazan's instagram is @yazan._.mohammd. here is his chuffed fundraiser.

here is the linktree for the sameer project, a which also relies on donations and is running seriously low on funds

here is the website for workshops 4 gaza, which sells radical books and tickets to exclusive workshops in exchange for donations to the sameer project and other fundraisers

I don't know if what is being said is that there is a possibility of reaching a ceasefire deal or not, but I am sure of one thing, which is that Israel does not want to end the war, but rather wants to end the Gaza Strip (for your information, it is not only Israel that wants this, but America also wants this, as it supports Israel with money, weapons, and everything to fight a defenseless people).

Hello, my name is Lama, and I am from Gaza City, specifically in the northern Gaza Strip. I grew up in a loving family of resilience and hope, with my parents working tirelessly to provide us with a life of dignity and opportunity. My father was our steadfast provider, and my mother was the heart of our home. I have two brothers and three sisters, the youngest of whom is just six months old. She is frail and often sick due to the lack of proper food and medicine. My siblings and I have shared dreams of education, careers and a bright future. But life in Gaza is marked by hardship, and when the war began, everything we had built was shattered. My older brother, a kind and a courageous soul, was martyred while trying to secure basic necessities for our survival, my younger sister was gravely injured, and the cost of her treatment weighs more than the universe to us, now the responsibility for my family has fallen on my shoulders.

Our home, once filled with warmth, laughter and memories, has been reduced to rubble. We have been displaced more than thirty times from place to a place with nothing but the clothes on our backs. Each time we returned, we found more destruction, we always clung to the hope of rebuilding, but in the last attack, our home was completely destroyed, we are now homeless, living in unsafe conditions with no shelter to protect us from the cold nights. The loss of our home is not just the loss of a building, it’s the loss of safety, stability, and the place where our dreams were nurtured.

With my father unemployed since the beginning of the war, we have no income to provide even the most basic necessities. Water, food, medicine, warm clothes and blankets-things that many take for granted-are beyond our reach. Every day is a battle for survival, and every night is a reminder of the dangers and struggles we face. I am determined to care for family and give my younger brothers and sisters a chance to grow up with hope. But I cannot do it alone.

I am reaching out to you with a plea for compassion and action. Your support can help us rebuild our lives, restore hope, and secure a future where my family can live in peace and safety. Every donation, no matter how small brings us closer to survival and dignity. Please for the sake of god and humanity, help us in this time of desperate need.

Are you guys ready

[nastymajesty]

hey guys i know i said i wasn’t gonna do donation posts anymore unless i really had to but i like. actually really have to now

so i transferred to a new college in june, and i was previously on scholarships that paid 100% of my tuition. my current school proceeded to not apply my scholarship and i went over to their offices 50 different times while they escalated it over and over again meanwhile the scholarship never hit my account so now i have a past due balence on my account. i tried to take out a loan for the previous semester but my credit score is too mediocre and i don’t have a co-signer. now i got an email saying ill be dropped from my fall classes next week if i don’t pay by the 25th

this is REALLY bad because i get paid via chap 35 college benefits meaning if im not in college i dont have a source of consistent income as well as no housing since i live in a dorm, which means ill be fucked if i can’t get this paid

thankfully it is “only” 4.3k so unfortunately sorry guys i gotta do this i literally have been forced out of options

as for the fall semester, i’ll likely have my scholarship fixed by then so i’ll be fine then but until then i NEED to get this fixed

What the FUCKING ISRAEL did to my family i will never forget, how they killed my little brother in front of my eyes, his blood was bleeding in my hands while he was looking into my eyes, he could never speak..

the hatred inside me is greater than anything here, but I am weak, no one is by my side, no one gives me time to listen to my suffering cuz of what happened cuz there is something worse, which is my family members who are suffering from serious injuries in the hospital and need the simplest thing, which is painkillers and food, so I ask for your help and real support to provide $500 urgently to save my family
