URGENT: Help Evacuate Newborn's Caretakers Together

Hi all, as you know now Shaima and Muhammad are Wafaa's sister and brother, and they urgently need to evacuate all 10 of their children as soon as possible before they can even think to evacuate themselves and their respective spouses. This family was personally added to the vetted spreadsheet by @el-shab-hussein as family number 260, so please don't hesitate to donate.

Yesterday, Wafaa received extremely worrying news about Muhammad's newborn Salem, who is just weeks old, is suffering from severe malnutrition. Manal, Salem's mother, could not produce breast milk because of stress and malnutrition herself, and the family is forced to feed Salem cooked flour slurry, which is an extremely non-nutritious and even dangerous diet for a newborn. On top of this, because Salem was born in a field hospital, he was not able to be vaccinated; his immunocompromised status makes the current active polio epidemic in al-Mawasi camp extremely dangerous for him.

We helped raise enough money in the past two days for Zeina, who is 15 years old and has been taking care of the younger children since the invasion. Let's now try to raise enough money so Zeina's twin, Malik, could also be evacuated. As a reminder, Salem is suffering from anemia and severe malnutrition from not getting milk for days while Salma, the 5 year old daughter, suffers from intestinal infection and skin rashes have not abated for weeks now. Zeina cannot take care of all 4 of her younger siblings all by herself when time comes to evacuate.

Shaima and Muhammad's fundraiser has stagnated DANGEROUSLY, we have only received 5 donations in the past 2 hours, with the most recent donation from 30 minutes ago. To evacuate Malik, we need to raise $20,000 by Wednesday (August 7) at the very latest. Please help us ensure the twins can continue to take care of their younger siblings together.

Currently $15,598 raised of $20,000 goal as of August 5, that's $4,402 left to raise!! Please donate whatever you can spare as this is an urgent matter.

Donate to Help Mohammad & Shaima in Gaza!, organized by Said As

Hello, my name is Wafaa 42 years old. After my campaign ended, I wanted to start evacuating my… Said As needs your support for Help Mohammad

Irel!

Here they are, the leader of the Insurgency.

Irel Vanik is a human and has been in the Insurgency for 6 years and been leading it for 2. They are an amputee (both of their legs are prosthetics from the waist down) and they are a very skilled mechanic who spends a lot of time fixing and building things when they’re not running the Insurgency. Irel’s best friend and second in command is Avalis and they worked together since Irel recruited him 4 years before the story starts. They allowed the AI system within their ship (the Horizon) to develop and eventually gave it the name K8 (pronounced Kate) and while the two bicker, they make a great team and Irel has plans to build them a body to actually move around in that is not a ship. They are generally well liked even if they do have some strange tactics at times (Avalis is their impulse control). They are passionate about the cause and are determined to take the IGA down.

Explanation of my stories

Okay, so I’m going to be giving a brief summary on each of my original wips. I’ll do a seperate ones for my fanfics. Each of this will likely get there own more in depth explanations later, but this should give the gist of each one.

Also, some of these stories do not have official names yet. Making titles is hard.

The Shadow Guard: A story set in a universe with superheroes. There are multiple phases of the story, each one following a different generation of the superhero team known as The Shadow Guard as their world evolves as Variants (people with superpowers) become more common and accepted.

Tales of Stars and Magic: The title of a sci fi universe with multiple stories in it. Magic is a natural part of life and different alien species use it in many different ways.

Onto the Horizon: The first story in TOSAM. It follows the crew of the ship ‘The Horizon’ as they fight with the Insurgency to defeat the Intergalactic Alliance (IGA). Book 1 is called ‘Tides of Change’ and follows Aala as she has to protect her sister (Nila) as their homeworld was invaded and they end up meeting Keryn, a bounty hunter who dislikes the IGA, Irel, the leader of the Insurgency, and Avalis who is Irel’s second in command.

Adventures of the Aurora: A new Jump Engine has been invented and it makes it possible to explore a fourth galaxy. Captain Karys Alvali is in charge of the scout ship Aurora, and with her crew, they start to explore the new galaxy.

Blackout: The story of Herene, the Creator who has to make a horrible desicion to protect the universe from the threat of the Devourers.

Luna Stone: Luna is an 11 year old sorceress who is about to start her first year at Peregrine’s Academy of Magic. She has to try and live up to her family legacy, and while she’s certainly powerful enough magic wise, she wants to befriend who she wants. Her life only gets more complicated when she starts getting strange dreams of a phoenix.

Unamed Luna sequel: After the events of Luna’s story, the magical community has changed. When it’s discovered that Jay (a human) is able to see magic, panic begins to spread over the possibility the Great Spell is failing.

Unamed Luna prequel: King Florian is one of the most famous historical figures for magic users. He existed before the Great Spell was cast, and the human (along with his husband and knights) put a stop to the evil sorceress Oriana. The story follows him as he has to gather a group strong enough to take her down, and try and help both magical and non magical communities get along.

Myths and Tales: Will lives a normal life until he’s attacked by a strange creature. He is saved by Anpu (more commonly known as Anubis) and gets dragged into the lives of the many gods and goddesses while trying to figure out why certain gods want him dead.

Unamed fantasy story (aka Everyone’s a bard): When an ancient threat rises once more, Conri is chosen to find the others capable to defeat the Wraith. Even if he doesn’t want to, he isn’t given another choice.

The Unknown: A collection of short stories that follow people who ended up interacting with entities nicknamed Unknowns. Their origin is not known, and while organisations like the Unknown Defence Department are doing their best to unravel the mystery, it is a difficult job.

Save our life !!❤️🥹

Note/ A few days ago, I lost my campaign suddenly. The gofundme decided to close it after it had reached $110,000. I only got $44,000 and lost about $70,000. It was not easy after I worked day and night to collect the amount in order to save my family from the war and treat my father. I will now start from scratch and need your support. 🙏🏻💔

Hello again, I am Aseel from Gaza, I live in war, fear and destruction, we have been living for almost a year now but we do not know how long, we have been displaced from our home more than 11 times,

every time I was displaced to another place I prayed that this would be the last, but then came the idea of ​​​​forced exit to search for safety where there is no safety, we got very tired and our bodies were exhausted, we no longer had the energy to continue, we lived hunger, thirst, cold and all the difficult conditions that humans cannot imagine,

we did not imagine that a day would come when we would live all of this, I lost my family and my childhood home, even my friends are no longer there, I was left alone!! I am looking for salvation from death, I fear death and I dread it, the idea is terrifying to leave your dreams, ambitions and the life you planned for and go from this world, we do not deny death but we do not want to live it now,

I had a beautiful life, suddenly I do not know how I lost my life, we live in a tent that can only accommodate 3 people, made of nylon that no human can bear, just standing in it for more than two minutes during the day is enough to melt you, in addition to insects, diseases and lack of privacy, imagine all this!! Can you live??

In addition, my father had a stroke due to the loss, and my mother also needs care due to chronic diseases and the lack of treatment, and her condition is getting worse. I am the only one who takes care of them. I really fear loss and I do not want to lose, as I lost a large part of my family, my home, my work, and my entire previous life.

Things here are more difficult than you imagined, reality is painful

We wake up every day to the smell of death, I have been surrounded by tanks and helicopters more than 4 times, each time I do not know how to survive? It seems that my death has not come yet

I do not want to die!! 🥺

Please help me save my life and get out of here, life is impossible

Your donation will save my life, it is the only way, hand in hand we can achieve the goal please

Save Aseel’s Family From Genocide in Gaza

I am Aseel from Gaza, I am 28 years old

A woman named Fadia has reached out to me (@fadia) and trusted me to tell you her story. Fadia and her husband have 5 children and are trying to survive through the horrific conditions enforced upon Gaza by Israel.

They've had to evacuate their home and currently their family is crowded within a car garage, housing 12 people, with absolutely no privacy. And occasionally accommodating even more people. They're suffering from a lack of clean environment, with car exhausts and smoke from burning wood as well as insects which are all polluting the space this family is living in.

Fadia's youngest daughter is still a toddler with a weak immune system and the environment is causing her to have a persistent cold and cough.

Additionally, Fadia's mother is an elderly woman with diabetes and blood pressure who is experiencing health complications which cannot be healed in Gaza. She needs to be evacuated in order to seek treatment.

Fadia's family is trying to raise $100,000 CAD to evacuate but have merely reached $4,369 CAD.

Even a small donation can make a difference here. Please donate. And even if you can't please share and get their story out there.

Hey guys, I was reached out to by my friend Siraj @siraj2024 to share his story and shed some light on his situation

Please listen, do not scroll away.

Siraj used to live in Northern Gaza with his family of five, including his wife and three children. He had painstakingly built the family house over ten years, going into debt so that he could provide a beautiful home for his family. But when the occupational forces declared war on Gaza, the area where he had built this home was one of the first areas to get invaded and destroyed by the tanks and bomb shells.

This is the state of their family's beloved home now:

Since large portions of their home was destroyed and they were forced to flee from the violence, Siraj's family has been displaced six times in the months that followed.

Siraj has described to me that living out of these tents has been like living in a convection oven under the current heat wave, and full of disease ridden pests.

His children, who should have been in school and playing with other kids their age, instead have to worry about if they'll have enough water for the day and how they will carry it over long distances. They have to stand long queues just to fill their buckets and even then, the water is so polluted that they have to risk serious illnesses like hepatitis when they drink it anyway, for the sake of their survival.

They have lost an entire year, along with a lot of hopes and dreams, to this genocide that they will never get back.

The gravity of their situation cannot be understated. They do not have access to clean water. They do not have access to basic medical care and hygiene products.

There is no safe place left in Gaza. They are constantly living under the threat of violence from the IOF, illness and starvation.

The funds collected from this gfm will go into reconstruction of their home, as well as providing for the family's basic needs during this troubling time.

Please support Siraj and his family to rebuild his home, educate their children, and meet their needs.
