Fundraisers for general purposes

Please don't overlook the Sustainable Aid options! The brain drain is already creating problems but having another way of keeping or creating new knowledge and key members of a functioning society is important. And don't overlook the general purpose fundraisers near the bottom! They serve a wider range of people rather than specific families! This post is part of this masterpost series on fundraisers.

It is incredibly important to train yourself to have your first instinct be to look something up.

Don't know how to do something? Look it up.

See a piece of news mentioned on social media? Look it up.

Not sure if something is making it to the broader public consciousness, either because you don't see it much or you see people saying nobody is talking about it? Look it up.

Don't know what a word means? Look it up.

It will make you a better reader and a better writer, but it will also just make you more equipped to cope with the world.

So often, I see people talking about something as though it is the first time anyone has ever acknowledged it, when I've been reading reports about it on the news for months or years. Or I see someone totally misinterpreting an argument because they clearly don't know what a word means--or, on the other hand, making an argument that doesn't make sense because they aren't using words the right way.

Look things up! Check the news (the real news, not random people on social media)! Do your research! You (and the world) will be better for it.

My friend Mahmoud Qassas keeps dealing with medical emergency after medical emergency. His wife is currently being screened for possible lung cancer, and the hospitals are extremely slow in Ghazzah due to the collapse of the medical system.

Mahmoud's wife Dina is confirmed to have lung cancer and she needs immediate treatment. She is currently being hospitalized. They need ALL the help they can get. Please please please consider donating to them.

What Strength Really Means 💪

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

One of my friend's messages to me:

"I swear to God, my brother, I just lived the worst days of my life. It feels like last night was a night of Hell.

They bombed for nearly a half hour without stopping, and the bombing became close and the sound of the missiles were so loud that it sounded strange. It seems these are new types [of rockets] sent in from America.

I don't know what to do. The screams of women and the people around us who were hit by the rockets, but you can't do anything. It was around 2AM, and there was no light it was completely dark.

And I don't have anyone in my tent except my mother and my sister who are terrified, so I can't leave them and get out of the tent [to help others].

There was literally a rocket or 2 that whistled by right above us, and we all laid down and went to sleep in the tent 💔.

I had thought that I had seen everything in the war, but last night literally my blood [froze]. But thank God we woke up alive and our Lord will make it easier on us, my love."

Please help my friend Mohammed El-Shaer.

[ID: “It was surreal listening to my friends recount everything they had done to get me out: working with lawyers, reaching out to the media, making endless calls to detention centers, desperately trying to get through to Ice or anyone who could help. They said the entire system felt rigged, designed to make it nearly impossible for anyone to get out.

The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.

Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.

The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly. What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense.”]

Neat! What did he do

Oh, so the "Father of the Jewish settlements" and also the founder of the Tel Aviv colony was a Nazi!

[ID: Three Wikipedia screenshots and one selection of an article.

First: Arthur Ruppin (Hebrew: ארתור רופין March 1876-1 January 1943) was a German Zionist and one of the founders of the city of Tel Aviv.

Second: He was also a proponent of pseudoscientific race theory.

Third: Ruppin believed that realization of Zionism required "racial purity" of Jews and was influenced by works of anti-semitic thinkers, including some Nazis. Ruppin personally met Heinrich Himmler's mentor, Hans F. K. Günther, one of many racist thinkers who greatly influenced Nazism.

Fourth: Arthur Ruppin (1876-1943) was the chief "doer" of the Zionist Movement in Palestine. He was placed in charge of executing the practical necessities of developing Jewish settlement. Working with the Jewish National Fund he became the Yishuv's main buyer of land. He believed that the most essential element in the creation of a Jewish state then was to buy land and settle it as quickly as possible by any means possible. He created two of Israel's most famous and lasting institutions: Tel Aviv and the kibbutz.

Okay I got in touch with @90-ghost (Ahmed) and he has confirmed to me the deactivation was not something he did himself. He also showed me a screenshot of his tumblr app glitching out because of it.

Tumblr deleted his account. That being said, it might have been an automatic response to a mass reporting campaign being led by zionist stalkers. It could also have been a decision made by tumblr staff themselves.

We don't fully know what happened. Ahmed has contacted them to report the issue. In the meantime, make people aware of this problem.

If his blog is gone the vetting links to a lot of legit fundraisers are going to be broken now and not be of any use.

For the record, I only use Tumblr. In the case that my own blog gets deleted randomly like this, I'd likely just talk to one of my friends like Saif or Nairuz to let you all know about any new blog I make on their blogs. (nabulsi, palipunk, chanafehs, efc...)

Don't follow any blog that claims to be me unless one of my friends has cosigned it publicly on their blog.

@90-ghost blog has been reinstated! Vetting links should be working just fine now! Thanks to you all!

Ahmed is still taking a break from tumblr due to stress but he will return eventually.

So you're a fan of Israel? Name all the Latin American dictatorships implanted and supported by the United States during Plan Condor, which it supported by acting as an arms dealer.

Bs bigot

Other people already said it but sending immigrants to El Salvador is not a deportation but a kidnapping. Deportation is sending a person to their country of origin. This is something worse.

And think about what happens to these people who have no El Salvador citizenship once they arrive there and how they cannot leave El Salvador. First off, the US and El Salvador governments have to have an agreement otherwise El Salvador would not accept these people. Secondly, they are ending up in literal "Mega-Prisons" to do God knows what. They can't leave the country even if they were free since they likely have no documentation/money after being snatched up from their homes in the US. They are deporting people with no criminal record and this is really just the definition of human trafficking.

My friend is surrounded by the army

The IOF has given my friend Abed @mohmad5 and his wife @safa-abed seven hours to leave before bombing starts.

They are crouched in the rubble of their former home waiting to die.

The road costs $1000 per person. I have no hope of getting him this without help. Please do what you can for him.

I'm not writing these words... I'm bleeding them, screaming them, holding on to them as if they're the last lifeline before everything else sinks. My child is lying in front of me now, his tiny body connected to wires, his eyes half-open as if begging for life, as if pleading for my help... But I have nothing but tears, nothing but pain, nothing but this last plea!

Can you imagine the meaning of these words? Can you imagine being told that your child's life is just a number on a bill? Being given a deadline to say goodbye as if his death is inevitable, for no reason other than that I'm poor?!

I haven't slept in days. I watch his chest rise and fall with difficulty, counting his breaths as if I'm saying goodbye to each one, and waiting... Will this be my last? Will I be shocked now? Will everything stop while I stand helpless?

Imagine holding your child in your arms, feeling their warmth, hearing their weak heartbeat… but knowing that you may only be hours, or maybe minutes, away from losing them. Imagine hearing their breathing as they slowly die, and you don't even have the power to scream to save them!

I'm not asking for much… I just ask for my child to live! To see him run, to hear his laughter again, to feel his tiny arms wrapped around me, instead of holding his body in my arms!

I am speaking on behalf of @eslamfa1, who has her own campaign for her and her family so they may survive under the harsh conditions in Gaza. She is very thankful for all the support she's had, but she needs more help.

She has asked me to host a fundraiser for more of her family, namely for her parents and siblings who desperately need funds for food, water, and medical treatment. They have been displaced multiple times and have only been able to contact Eslam through an unreliable internet connection.

Here is their story as written by her sister, Aya:

"Hello friends, we will tell you our sad story

I am Aya, an outstanding high school student. I was very happy to be on the verge of achieving my dream of finishing my school studies and achieving what I aspired to, which is to become a doctor.

My family of 8 and a beautiful cat named Katie were living a beautiful and peaceful life, each of us striving to achieve our dreams.

We had our beautiful house in Khan Yunis. Recently, we were celebrating my sister Heba’s fourth place in the Gaza Strip in the Arabic language recruitment exam. Our life was like material and emotional perfection. We did not feel deprived or lacking anything.

My sister Lina is a university student. Her dream was to become a psychologist to help mentally ill people in the Strip.

My brother Ahmed was the most beautiful gift from God. He came after 20 years of being deprived of male siblings. After completing his studies, he became a water carrier and took on a great responsibility beyond his capacity.

We also had two little butterflies, the apple of the house, and Jana, the favorites of their teachers and friends at school.

Then the war broke out and everything was turned upside down. We were forced to leave the house after quadcopters surrounded us, tanks surrounded us, and we saw death right in front of our eyes, but we miraculously escaped.

We were displaced several times on foot. Feet, then our end was in a tent that did not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer, and there were poisonous insects and scorpions around us, there was no clean water or healthy food, so my family and I got hepatitis and a lot of intestinal infections.

We were shocked that our house was bombed and destroyed and the features of the house disappeared from the face of the earth, so we felt very sad and despair took over us.

Life here in Gaza is expensive, we cannot buy the minimum necessities of life, imagine that the price of a kilo of tomatoes is $50, and the price of a bag of flour is $200, life here is like a famine! My father is a nervous patient and my mother suffers from chronic pressure and they need continuous treatment and medications. We suffer from bringing water from long distances, and from the high prices of food and cleaning materials and water pollution. What we have suffered most in this war is the loss of members of our family, and this is the hardest thing we have been through. We have lost 20 members of our family. Please help us bear the very high cost of living until we evacuate from Gaza and save our lives. The cost per person is $5,000. Help us, you are the only hope left."

These are some of the photos she's managed to receive of some of her family (Aya, Ahmed, Hala, Jana, and their cat) and of the conditions of the areas they've been displaced from and to:

Note: Due to mentioned lack of internet connection, Eslam has not been able to receive more photos yet. There will be more updates to come when, hopefully, more communications are made.

PLEASE DONATE !!!!! Aya, Lina, Ahmed, Hala, jana, and their parents' well beings are at stake! Starting goal is $10,000

@90-ghost @gaza-evacuation-funds @gazavetters

There's been a crucial update!

So far, there's only been $1,844 donated to Aya's gofundme, and while we are grateful for what we've re4cieved so far it is neither enough to cover the costs of living in the Khan Younis camp nor is it currently accessible!

gfm has been pausing transfers to many Palestinian relief effort accounts, our own included, despite abiding by their guidelines. Hopefully, I will be able to sort it out soon and unpause transfers but in the meantime I've made an additional fundraiser on the much more Palestinian friendly service Chuffed (As I've heard from Eslam).

Please place donations here for now so that the Gheelans may get the funds they need!!!!

I know I haven't been actively promoting as I should. I cannot find the words that could best convince you, I can only plead. Please.

GOOD NEWS in that gofundme unfroze money transfers!!!! but donations have been waning the last being two days ago

and with the news that the rafah crossing will be opening we need more donations for aya and her family can safely cross!!! And for continued living expenses as well ofc

It's not over yet please don't give up with donating and thank you all so much for all donations and shares so far! ❤️❤️❤️
