£3,662 raised of £4,500, this campaign is very close to meeting it's goal!
Ahmed Omer (this is a pseudonym, as they would like to remain anonymous) is an artist living in London. Art is their main source of income due to their disability that impairs their ability to work. About a year and a half ago, they were evicted from their home because they were unable to afford their landlord's rent increase and have been homeless since. The money collected will help them to cover the costs of groceries, transportation, bills, pay off their debt, and pay for a deposit on a room and furnishings.
This campaign is backed by @/madaniya.sdg on Instagram, an organization made up of members from the Sudanese diaspora in London.

If you support the ongoing Human genocide in palestine, DRC and Sudan or you are a "nUWUtral cutie patootie oooooh i am so neutral I don't care 💅💅💅" type of person and STILL be a fan of one piece ...
Then I've got bad news for you
Your ass is reading too fast or you're too damn dumb to understand what the story is about. Either way get off the fandom and shut up forever
Born in Switzerland, Suleika Mueller was brought up in a Sudanese Sufi Muslim order, spending formative years going to a Swiss school whilst continually traveling to Sudan, Egypt, the UAE or across Europe to practice with the Sufi community. This experience – of living between two cultures – led the photographer to become interested in hybrid identities. Now, based in London, Mueller uses the lens to make space for such individuals to express themselves (above right). She is dedicated to “creating more nuanced and authentic Muslim portrayals and stories, as well as educating and challenging harmful stereotypes.”
A ripped out page from my old journal of me reminding myself to believe in myself.

It’s in the MIND that holds the majority of people back from going after what they truly want. Myself included.

The mind is what paralyses people from taking ACTION. 💭

Once you breakdown those mental barriers that have imprisoned you, you will live life differently, your perspective, your actions, your goals, your plans, your limits and your fears will disappear. ⚡️
“Sudanese mosaic artist Abu Bakr al-Sherif and Sudan-based Eritrean artist Woohoo Menqestab Tesfay, 30, work on a mosaic artwork piece at a studio in Khartoum.”
I was inspired by this artist to offer to make drawings/digital edits/fics for donations to Palestine!
I’m not a professional artist by far, but if it might encourage someone to donate, i am happy to help! (See below the cut of examples of what i can do).
Basically, just dm a screenshot of proof that u donated— any amount!! (Also please dont include any personal info in the screenshot).
Some places you can donate to:
E-sims for Palestine
Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
Care for Gaza
Medical Aid for Palestinians
MSF/Doctors without borders
The Pious Projects
More options
Palestinian shops
GoFundMe’s for families
Other!
I will also create things for donations for Sudan! I am currently in the process of educating myself, so i dont have as many resources readily available— if you have any, lmk and i will add them here!
