HELP SHAHED REACH 50K WITHIN THE WEEK

Cannot express how terrifying it has been to watch donations to Shahed's gfm drop so immediately after she met her $40k goal. Shahed has been working tirelessly - at great expense to herself, oftentimes right in the aftermath of escaping massacres by a hair - to save her sisters from danger, and while we've seen some success on that front that isn't the end of this road.

Her end goal is still $80k to evacuate her entire family of 17 people.

She has only barely gotten halfway past that, at 45k/80k

But the support has dried up like the battle is already over.

Most of my followers probably know her at this point, but if you're new here, shahed is a 21 year old who is fundraising to evacuate her family to safety. Her initial goal was to just get $40k USD so that she can get at least her younger siblings and her father (sick with hepatitis and with a heart condition that needs surgery urgently) out of gaza in time for the egyptian border to reopen. But now that she has crossed that threshold, she can finally begin to consider her own evacuation along with the rest of her family.

I want to remind everyone that her situation is still urgent and ongoing. I have talked about it before but i hate how it seems that people have to wait until something shocking happens to see palestinians as real people who deserve help, as if it isn't constantly shocking and horrific. It does not end everytime we hit any milestone, and the people behind these fundraisers still exist and suffer even after the “fad” has ended.

When we hit 40k last friday, even though it was what she had been praying for weeks, shahed couldn't be happy about it cause the very next morning she got displaced from where she was encamped at khan younis yet AGAIN due to the intense bombing by the iof near her camp. She was texting me through it all with shaking hands, telling me she didn't know what would happen next even while it all while explosions were happening just outside her flimsy tent.

Everytime they are displaced, they lose a little something more as they dig into precious funds that ought to be going into getting food and water and leave behind more personal belongings to make the move faster. Can you imagine losing what little you have all over again, over and over again, after you have lost your entire home and so many friends and family for no fault of your own?

Gaza has now been reported to have a polio epidemic as well, and has no infrastructure whatsoever left to combat it. There are unvaccinated babies and children there RIGHT NOW, who are in serious danger every single day they are delayed and forced to go through this. Shahed's youngest sibling Bilal, who is just a baby, is one of them.

I cannot put into words the shame it makes me feel to see old posts about her 40k short term goal still going around with people celebrating in the tags, while on this side im hearing from shahed about how her family is on the verge of starvation right now even as we are still failing to get shahed past her next goal of 50k, never mind the 80k she needs to evacuate her whole family.

I want to remind you all that this is still a genocide. We try to take the small victories when they so rarely come, but this is STILL a genocide. The goal posts will always ALWAYS keep changing as the situation develops, and we cannot afford to lose momentum everytime a goal is reached. If you see a post where a short term goal has been reached but the fundraiser itself has another few thousand dollars left to raise, i NEED you to take that as your cue to assume that the situation has changed in some way and check in.

Because maybe the families doing the fundraising get to celebrate their rare wins, but WE in the world outside gaza don't get to. We HAVE to keep demanding for more, we HAVE to keep pushing, we CANNOT rest, because people like shahed and her family deserve so much more. Frankly the same goes for demanding a ceasefire, but thats not the point of this post atm.

All i ask is that you take her situation seriously, and please don't punish her for the small gains she has made lately by assuming that she has it handled now. The numbers do NOT reflect the support she is getting, nor the urgency.

serious post. start combating any misinformation you find. monkeypox is not an sti. monkeypox spreads through *any form of contact*. it is not exclusive to gay people, and it is *not* gay people's fault. we can not let history repeat itself. don't let flashy headlines take the place of medical facts and information.

conservatives are already itching to start a witchhunt against LGBT people and monkeypox is something they are going to latch onto.

don't let them. don't let this turn into a repeat of the AIDS crisis.

Dear beloved friends, My name is Mahmoud Alkhaldi. I am a Palestinian refugee living with my fiancée and family in a catastrophic situation-in tents- in Rafah. However, for 116+ days, me and my family have been under intense bombing and warplanes rockets in the Gaza strip. I’m asking funds to evacuate (5) members of my family from Gaza to a safe place in Egypt, including my younger brother (Mohammed, his wife, and his 1 and half year son Yasser), and me and my fiancée Sujood). It could be very expensive and costly to evacuate a war zone at a miserable time like this. We will need approximately $50000 and a lot of prayers

Dear beloved friends, … Sara A needs your support for Help Gaza Family

My home was cozy, beautiful, and warm before the war. Here is some pictures for our house before the war

Our home was targeted in a tank bombing on the 25th of November 2023 that left it unlivable, along with the entire neighborhood of Al-Burij refugee camp, in Gaza City.

When we returned back to our home to get some needed itemsand clothes, we found that Israeli soldiers also steal our belongings. Since that day, my family has been sleeping in a miserable tent in Rafah, in the south of Gaza, which has become a home for all people from the Gaza strip, whose homes were also destroyed by airstrikes, but they have survived thus far.

I can't express how useless and depressed we felt after finding out what they'd been through and are currently going through. Each moment, we worry about losing them. Without connection settings, we cannot constantly contact them. During the moment of typing, over 25,0000 individuals have been killed in Gaza. They are without electrical power or heating for a period of three months, food is limited, and their drinking water is unsafe for human consumption. My family's only hope is to evacuate to to a safer place out of Gaza. My family went through the loss of several friends, and many of them have lost their spouses and children. I am afraid of losing my family. They are the light that leads me through my life. I cannot live or survive without them.

The expenses of travel for 5 people are as follows:

• $50000 for the boarding pass (Egyptian coordination) to pass Rafah border, 10000$ for each person.

We are need your help and support in raising $50000 to transport them from Gaza to Egypt. Once the cash are put in the US bank account, they will be deposited to my family's bank account. He intended to utilize the funds to cover the costs of going to Egypt as soon as feasibl

KOSA update 7/25/24:

Well, unsurprisingly, KOSA passed the Senate procedural vote 86-1.

Proof:

Again, they still have to vote on the final passage & the House still has to vote on it as well.

So, focus on your House Representative now; Continue to call them & tell them to vote ‘No’ to KOSA. Remember: There is more opposition to KOSA in the House.

Spread this around. Don’t panic!

Keep calm & keep fighting!!

Today, my little baby completed his first year (8 months of which he spent in the war 💔).

Donating is the best gift that can be given to this little baby and his family.
