We are seeing an increase in medical emergencies where families need to secure funds as soon as possible. This is the case for Elaf Babiker and her family.

They are Sudanese refugees who have evacuated to Egypt. As they settle down, her aunt collapsed on Christmas Eve and was rushed to the hospital. She was diagnosed with brain stem hematoma, which meant her brain was bleeding! She was in intensive care, relying on the ventilator, as she was unable to breathe on her own, but the doctors required $1,700 USD for her month long stay in the hospital!

They will discontinue her treatment if we do not raise the amount in time! So please donate and share! There is $124 USD left to go! You can match me. I have given $5, but you're more than welcome to give any amount! ! !

Verification: #165 in the vetted fundraisers' spreadsheet by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi. Also listed on sudanfunds.com!

$23,680 / $35,000 USD

I don't know how long this will last, but all I hear is: Iran, Israel, America... as if Gaza doesn't exist, as if the world has forgotten the people suffering there.

Hello my friend 🙏 Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to share with you a very personal humanitarian matter 💔, I am Osama Al-Qarnawi, a Palestinian refugee, living in Belgium. I am writing to you with a broken heart and a shattered soul, because my heart is with my mother, father and brothers in Gaza, under siege and bombardment, without electricity, without safety, without medicine, and without the most basic necessities of life. I hear their screams every day over the phone as they search for clean water, simple medicine, or a morsel of food to satisfy their hunger. I fear every day that this might be the last call. I launched this campaign to give them some hope and security, to help them endure and endure this ordeal. 🙏 Every donation, no matter how small, makes a big difference. 5 euros could replace a meal, 10 euros could replace medicine or a candle to light a dark house. Any donation or support from you by participating will save a life. I ask you to share this message and spread it on all your social media pages. Thank you very much in advance for your help and support 💔😭🇵🇸🌹 https://gofund.me/9821e7b7

Osama's campaign is verified by @/gazavetters (#557) and has only received two donations - only €35 out of their €15,000 goal.

Can you go without a coffee today so this family can eat?

Two months ago I made a post with the purpose of raising funds for Nabil Al-Anqar’s tendon surgery. At 62 years old, Nabil is the patriarch of a 14 person family, including his children and grandchildren.

While gathering wood for fuel to keep his family warm and cook their food, Nabil sliced the tendons of his hand open with an electric saw, requiring invasive surgery in order to save his hand. For two months, Nabil was largely unable to perform intensive work to aid in his family’s survival. BUT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR DONATIONS, Nabil has received the surgery and is out of his plaster cast. 

(ID: Nabil’s hand in the cast, and after cast removal–a visible scar runs along the fold of his palm where his tendons have been surgically reconnected.)

However, in order to move his hand, Nabil needs to attend regular physical therapy. Each session costs €50 and he needs 40 sessions. This is a total of €2,000. IT IS VITAL THAT NABIL RECEIVES THIS TREATMENT. OTHERWISE HE CANNOT MOVE HIS HAND. Thank you for your continued support. Please keep going.

I personally vouch for the validity of this campaign, as well has GazaVetters, at #6 on their vetted list.

URGENT FUNDRAISING FOR BREAST CANCER TREATMENT

I am genuinely sorry for this, but my sister is dying. If I could only ask for your permission one by one, I would, but I am afraid of the possibility that Tumblr may consider our plea as spam. Also, if any of you want an even more elaborate explanation about her medical condition, kindly look into this account's pinned post or you can message me directly because Tumblr flagged the pinned post as "sensitive content" after attaching proof of how extremely disfigured her right arm is. At times, it is also being kept hidden so not everyone can received notification even after being repeatedly tagged.

(And here is the direct link to the fundraiser.)

That is why despite the almost 14k notes, I decided to make another post/an update if you may because we are beyond desperate and we have not received any help as of lately.

My older sister's health has declined drastically since last week of December that is why I took over this account as per her request. We don't want to resort to asking for monetary assistance online but we still don't have the funds to get her through. As I have mentioned above, you can look into this account's pinned post to see how deformed her right hand was (if you needed the not blurred one, please let me know because I cannot possibly upload the actual picture because her account might end up getting taken down).

The entirety of her right arm is not only swollen, but blood kept seeping out of her knuckles, her palm, and her elbow. Protruding tumors/swelling have reached both of her breast, too, and is affecting her shoulder/shoulder blades and even her spine. Please reach out to me if you want to see more proof/health updates because I cannot post the photos here for they are somewhat too graphic. There's a lot of blood loss.

And although her arm was recently amputated, she is still under critical care and is currently battling numerous health complications.

If you could, please take some time to read her pinned post—please do. If you cannot donate, a reblog will be highly appreciated still. We need all the help we could get. I, recently just turned 18, and am only working part-time jobs trying to keep our family afloat, and what I am earning is not enough. The hospital could stop providing treatment at any time if we cannot put together the amount we owe them and the amount needed to outsource some of the meds that their in-house pharmacy cannot supply. It is a matter of life and death so I am begging all of you to please consider helping us. Help us get through this, please.

If you want to be removed from being tagged, please message me directly, and I will immediately do as you like. I know that this may seem invasive but it is not our intention. We are just desperate, and have been running out of ways to keep my sister alive. I cannot offer something in return other than express my immense gratitude. I am sorry, and please consider helping us. Thank you very much.

I’m making this post on the behalf of Sami and his family. Fundraiser here.

Sami says:

"A simple picture, yet it holds a powerful meaning. Tell me what did you understand, and what will you do? 'I understood that these children are in urgent need of donations, and I will donate. I will also share this post—it might help in some way. This image is full of sorrowful meaning, and I will do everything I can for these innocent children. I will donate so that they can go to school, eat clean food, and sleep in peace.' This is exactly what is happening right now with me and my family in the heart of Gaza. Please, donate—share—speak up. Don’t stop. We are between life and death. Don’t leave us behind."

Please do anything you can to help, any engagement is appreciated even if you cannot directly give to the campaign. Thank you so much <3.

(reply to the kroger & walmart chicken fettucine alfredo listeria outbreak)

hey holy shit. the sound I made when I read this. this is exactly why the chicken fettucine recall is so scary, it is such a huge comfort food and a bunch of folks eat it while pregnant. I am so fucking glad my post found you and that you got medical attention right away.

yours is an example of doing exactly the right thing: listeria is especially dangerous while pregnant, and there are antibiotics that can be prescribed for high-risk folks during the early stages of symptoms or even before symptoms begin. and while listeria can take up to 80 days to cause illness, it can also cause issues within hours or days of eating contaminated food.

for you and for everyone else trying to avoid the general news right now, here is a list to help keep up with recalls and foodborne illness outbreaks in the united states since I do not post all of them:

FDA recall list (food, drug, medical device, etc recalls with press announcements, usually bigger food recalls have announcements)

FDA enforcement reports (more recalls go here, but more difficult to navigate than the recall list with announcements)

USDA FSIS recall list (they cover different food than FDA, especially meat. the chicken fettucine alfredo recall was posted here)

NHTSA recall list (vehicles, car seats, tires, and equipment recalls!)

CPSC recall and safety warning list (products! there have been a LOT of recalls of baby stuff recently!)

FDA outbreak investigations (you can see the status of outbreaks as they happen and get investigated, this is often where recalls start)

CDC active investigations of foodborne illness outbreaks (outbreaks can have both an FDA page and a CDC page. they cover different information)

foodsafetynews (news about food safety ONLY! not a government source. mostly focused on the US and canada, but also news around the world. some of what they post involves commentary on the current administration, BUT they post about bigger and more relevant recalls that wind up in the ever-tricky FDA enforcement reports.)

best of luck to you and your baby, and make sure you get plenty of rest!!!!!

Let’s all light a candle and pour one out for all the trans men who never got to figure out they’re men because they were raised to believe they couldn’t ever be anything other than a wife and a mother and if they ever left the church that all their friends and family go to then they’ll burn in hell for all of eternity. May the names engraved on their tombstones fade to nothing and the dresses they were buried in disintegrate.
