Help a Family from Gaza Rebuild After Losing Everything
My name is Mohammed, a 22-year-old from Gaza. Before the war, my father worked in the West Bank to support our family. However, since the war began, we lost all contact with him. Now, the responsibility of taking care of my family fell on me and my twin brother hosam. Tragically, my brother was killed by a sniper while simply trying to bring food for our family.
Today, I am left alone, trying to care for my mother, Jamila, my five siblings—Yasmin, Asma, Nermin, Jameel, and Ahmed—and my grandmother, who suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure.
Our lives were already challenging, but the war shattered everything. I used to work to support us with my car, but it was destroyed in a bombing, leaving me unemployed.
Another sister, Asma, graduated with an outstanding GPA of 91.8% and was working as a lecturer at Al-Aqsa University before the war. She dreams of continuing her education and pursuing a master’s degree.
The airstrikes destroyed our only safe haven—our home. We were forced to flee to southern Gaza, seeking refuge in Rafah. But even there, we had to evacuate and move to Khan Younis, though we had to stay on the move, never finding lasting safety.
Now, we are left homeless, without an income, and with very limited access to basic necessities. We live in constant fear, unsure of what tomorrow holds. Our situation is dire, and we are in desperate need of help to cover Yasmin's medical expenses, continue my siblings' education, and care for my grandmother and the rest of my family.
Any support you can offer will help us rebuild our lives and endure this unimaginable hardship. Your generosity can give my family a chance to heal, pursue their education, and live without the constant threat of losing everything.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story. We appreciate any help you can provide.
I'll keep this short, so I expect you to pay attention. My friend Fadel Aldani @fadel-aldani1 is in urgent need of medical care, but he cannot afford it.
His home was bombed while he and his family were inside it.
Fadel was seriously injured by shrapnel from the explosion.
To have the shrapnel completely removed requires medical supplies that aren't available in Ghazzah right now, so he needs to evacuate.
Fadel has also been diagnosed with hepatitis C.
The treatment options the doctor prescribed him are either a medication, which Fadel cannot find due to the lack of medical supplies, or honey, which costs around $200.
Fadel is in a lot of pain, but donations have been slow, and he hasn't been able to afford the treatment he needs.
Please, I implore you, support Fadel. He shouldn't have to live in agony, without medical care. His life is in danger from the lack of treatment. Please, share and donate, help him get the treatment he needs. Anything you can give, even just €5 or €10 makes a difference.

by storyboard supervisor Erik Fountain
A few years ago, Erik put together these updated AT storyboard guidelines for new board artists and revisionists.
The stability of Azura's home has worsened. A spot of the ceiling near her room has fallen due to how weak the structure is, and most likely vermin in the walls.
She is physically and emotionally confined to her room, and I am terrified of her getting hurt. This is urgent.
I've established a contingency plan where if the damage is too much, she's going to a hotel for as long as necessary.
Now, what does this mean for the funds raised? Right now, the funds are untouched, in a US account. I will pay for her hotel and travel to and from with my own money. A clean hotel in Malaysia costs less than my goddamn lunch, and I am more than happy to cover it. If the need arises where I cannot cover costs, then I will post an update detailing how much is used and for what, for complete transparency.
If you cannot donate, PLEASE share the link to the GFM. We are almost at 1K which is AMAZING. 3K is our goal, a comfortable amount where she can put a down payment on an apartment while not being short on food, emergency, or medical access
Father Fathi suffers from heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, and son Mahmoud suffers from back and cartilage pain, which is why he does not have a medical mattress due to sleeping on the floor, which makes him feel
severe pain.
Oh my God, what happened to us, I lost my memories and dreams that I have dreamed of for a long time, my house where I lived my childhood, nothing remained inside it, it was a pile of fire, and I lost my source of livelihood and my baby clothes store was completely destroyed, which led to the accumulation of debts that I was committed to from merchants that I obtained a few days before the current wave of war.
Note: Ahmed will try, when the circumstances are complete and I collect a sufficient amount and I am able to reunite the entire family here in Gaza, by moving my family to a safe place and regaining some comfort or trying to go to Egypt, knowing that the cost per person now is $ 5,000 for an adult and $ 2,500 for a child. The price may fluctuate. Please help us by donating even the simplest things or by participating in our campaign, and I will be grateful to you

Upgrades people, UPGRADES!

Please Don’t Turn Blind Eye To Our lives, Our Hope Begins with You
Hello, I'm Ola, a graduate student from the faculty of science - Al-Azhar University in Gaza Palestine. I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my story. As you reading my message, myself and my family, “my mother, father, three sisters, and my little brother,” are fighting death in northern Gaza and trying to survive under all kinds of suffering including but not limited to destruction, fear, and instability, starvation, thirst, and poverty.
Since 471 days until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking.
After a long and tiring effort, my Tumblr account @olasfamily has been disabled, and I have to start over. I feel sad and lost, but I don’t want to face this journey alone. I kindly ask you to share and support us; every donation and every share means a lot to me in this difficult time. Please don’t leave me to face this challenge on my own.
I am writing to you as we struggle through very difficult conditions with winter approaching. The cold is becoming harsher by the day, and we lack the warm clothing needed to endure this freezing weather. We cannot afford to buy new clothes due to the steep rise in prices, and most of what we have is old and worn out.
We are longing to rebuild our shattered lives, and I can't do it without you. I need your support to complete my education and help my family rise from the ruins and find hope again.
You mean the world to us, now more than ever. Please, don’t let us down 💔
Please share and donate 🙏💔
