***All donations are currently being matched externally, so anything you give will automatically be doubled!
every donation and share counts! it's monday in my time zone - my hope is that at least one of these campaigns will have met its goal by the end of the week. i was astounded by your response to the first version of this list and i firmly believe that together we can get more campaigns to their targets

Some verified Gaza GFMs on Tumblr!
These gfms belong to organizers who have reached out to me and all of them are nowhere near their goals, there are a few more I'm going through right now but these are all verified. Please share and donate to help these families.
@ahmadturk00 is a verified gfm! Mohammed Skaik is raising funds for his cousin and their family to evacuate Gaza - Ahmad Al Turk's family is made up of seven people and are currently living in a tent - they are a newer gfm and need urgent support. (€1,332/ €70,000 - 4/30/2024)
@hlabarka is also a newer GFM but has been completely verified, she is raising the funds to evacuate with her three-year-old daughter and her husband from Gaza and into Egypt, she and her family have been forced to relocate in Gaza seven times. ($1,112/ $50,000 - 4/30/2024)
@maisonhijazi is organizing for Hamdi, a father in Gaza who is trying to evacuate his children to safety - they just had a baby girl while displaced in Gaza. Please help him get the funds he needs to evacuate his family to Egypt. ($6,852/$25,000 - 4/30/2024)
@mohammedfamily87 Tareq Abu Obaid is organizing for his friend Mohammad Mousa, Mohammed is trying to evacuate his three children and his wife - his house was airstriked back in October, and has lost several members of his family already. (€170/€80,000 - 4/30/2024)
@ahmednabubaker is organizing for Yusuf, an eight-year-old boy who is being threatened with kidney failure, and Yusuf's family - this campaign is for Yusuf and his family to be evacuated to Egypt so Yusuf can be treated and receive a kidney transplant. This is extremely urgent. (€1,489/€85,000 - 4/30/2023)
For a longer list of GFMs that have been individually verified, @el-shab-hussein has a huge masterlist of GFMs to check out and support

Dear Daughter, Don't Stare at the Obstacle - Look at Where You Want to Go
We are naturally programmed to focus on the problem before us. This only perpetuates the issue. Instead, train yourself to focus on the solution.
Dear daughter,
You are still a young little girl as I write these words. Today, as we were out and about, you struggled with riding your bicycle. Constantly looking down at the pedals, you are running into walls, other people and swerving all over the place. You lose momentum whenever you look down, and your feet slip off the pedals.
There is nothing worse, apparently. Screams for help and raging cries of desperation are echoing everywhere. The whole city knows your struggle.
You don’t do well with failing (yet), and whenever something is challenging, your first reaction is to give up and whine about the difficulty. Don’t worry, love. We’ll be working on your resilience. We have to.
Life is no picnic, and perseverance separates the winners from the losers.
You’ll be met with plenty of challenges throughout your life, so the phrase “I can’t do this” will be eliminated from your vocabulary!
There is nothing you can’t do if you give it time and effort. You can and you will. It just might take a little longer. So what? Time will pass anyway.
I keep reminding you that you need to look in the direction where you want to go and not down at the problem. As per usual, you keep ignoring me. Your skills aren’t the problem; neither is your capability. I struggle to keep up with you when you forget the pedals and flow into the ride. That tells us you’re strong enough and can do this easily.
You must trust yourself and focus on where you want to steer your bicycle.
Read the whole article!

DPXDC prompt. Nanny Wilson
Little Danny is almost lost in the mall when his parents suddenly run too fast in an attempt to catch up a ghost that their equipment has detected. Young Fenton is not a crybaby at all, but being alone without daddy and mommy is a little scary, so he begins to whimper and run around, trying to find familiar features in the blurry figures around him.
Finally, he bumps into the thigh with a gun. It doesn't look much like an ectoblast, but dad is always inventing something new, so Danny quickly hugs this leg as hard as he can and begs loudly.
Danny: Daddy! Don't leave me!
Slade: What the hell… Boy, I'm not your dad.
Danny blinks a few times and realizes that this man really doesn't look like Jack.
Danny: Oh. I'm sowwy. Can you help me find my daddy?
Slade: What makes you think I'm going to do this?
Danny: You have a gun and dad has a gun, so you're good. Are you here to hunt too?
Slade: Something like that...What's your father's name, kid?
Jack: Danny! There you are!
A huge figure in a hazmat suit rushes towards them and Danny notices that his new friend is hastily hiding the weapon. To cheer up the man who is obviously meeting Jack Fenton for the first time, Danny smiles broadly. Dad may look scary, but he doesn't steal other people's toys.
Jack: Oh, thanks for looking after him. Our goal turned out to be too fast and we didn't even notice when our boy started to fall behind.
Slade: No problem, colleague.
Maddie: ?
Danny: Kind uncle is also a hunter.
Maddie: Oh, that's great! Em, sorry, but is there any chance that you have a time to look after our boy for a few days? We'll pay you well. You see, he rarely trusts people so quickly, and we absolutely do not have time to look for a replacement for our old nanny, and we really need to complete the last project as soon as possible.
Looking at the giggling boy trying to see if there are any other interesting things on him, Wilson decides that this will not be a bad experience in case he decides to establish a relationship with his found daughter.
Slade: All right, I'll take your order.
~~~About ten years later~~~
Danny, who is much more familiar with death than in canon, after being freshly ghosted: Damn, nanny will be so mad at me.
~~~~~
Danny: Hey, Slade. Do you want me to show you something cool?
Slade: Not now, kid, nanny is cleaning up.
Danny: Yeah, about that. *makes a corpse go through the ground* Ta-da! Can we talk now?
Slade at the first second: *Surprised Pikachu face*.
Slade when he notices a strange glow around Danny, like from ectoplasm in the lab of the boy's parents: >:( … >:( … >:(
Danny: S-stop it!
~~~~~
Slade: And take out the bloodstains from those shirts too, they're my favorites.
Danny: Oh dude, have you heard that child labor is illegal?
Slade: Whoever doesn't help uncle Slade doesn't get a new knife for Christmas.
Danny: Pfff…Now I'm my own weapon, come up with something new or I'll find myself a cooler mentor.
Slade: Jackanapes!
~~~~~
When Wilson stumbles upon a distraught runaway Robin, he sincerely tries to take care of him as well as he took care of Danny. Deathstroke is an experienced babysitter, so there shouldn't be any problems with vigilante child being around on his missions. All children love knives, workouts and guns, right? Plus, staying alone when they are upset, as Jazz says, is unhealthy.
~~~~A few days later~~~~
Dick's thoughts: He wants to make me his evil sidekick, oh no!
Wilson's thoughts: What's wrong with this kid? Batman so fucked up? Wayne needs to be stripped of his parental rights. I'm calling Jazz.
~~~~~
Wilson, who does not understand that he has been hanging out with Fentons too long, looks with perplexity at Grayson, who's running away from flying pieces of Maddie's pizza, then shoots some pepperoni and sits down at the table. It's going to be a long way. Poor boy.
~~~~~
Meanwhile, Fenton family is visiting Masters for the first time. Vlad tries to flirt with Maddie and then pretends to be good-natured while getting to know Danny.
Danny: I know 54 ways to kill you with this fork. If I were you I think I'd watch my mouth.
Jack: He's joking, V-man.
Danny: I'm not.
Jack: He's just like his babysitter. They have such an unusual sense of humor. I think our boy really likes you! Usually Danny is too shy to talk like this with strangers.
Vlad: Babysitter?
Maddie: Yes, Mr. Wilson helped us out a lot and often did not even take payment. He's an angel.
Vlad: I think I've heard that name somewhere before...
Jack: Ugh, I want to introduce you anyway!
Danny: Me too.
Jack: Great. What about Wednesday?
Danny: Dad, uncle might be busy. Let me ask him when he has time to, um, pay your old friend a visit.
