If you've been on my blog at all, you've no doubt heard about my friend Dina. She is a 25 year old mother living with her two young children in Gaza, where the situation is very dire. Her fundraiser was going steady for a bit, but I have noticed that the donations have slowed, and slowed..... and I am growing worried.
The cost of basic necessities in Gaza right now is astronomical. Just getting things like food and water is incredibly difficult. On top of this, Dina and her family are living in a tent that offers little shelter from the sun, and is vulnerable to bugs and disease. As you may have heard, polio is running rampant in Gaza and Dina is terrified that her family may catch it. She wants to get her children vaccinated to prevent that, but the vaccines as everything else are incredibly expensive.
In my conversations with Dina, it is incredibly clear that she is a loving, caring person. She desperately wants her children to have a happy, safe future. She works hard to promote her campaign, because it is her greatest hope of making that future a reality. But lately, she has told me that she feels very frustrated and despondent because she asks so many people and few acknowledge her, and even fewer donate. and i see that reflected in the slowing donations coming in.
Please... I need you to sit with this for a moment. Imagine having to care for very young children during a crisis, where necessities are scarce, and taking precious time out of your day to ask strangers to help you, to help your children. And for all that work, you see so little feedback.
I'm asking you to please support my friend, your contributions help her maintain her hope and vision for the future. She feels forgotten by the world, and we must prove to her that this isnt true. Dina and her children need your help.

That's my original work, M.A.S.K., a crossover adventure. hope you enjoy and tell me if I should continue this series.

i don't wanna sound hopeless but i feel like so many of you don't care or have stopped caring about palestine.
the news of hospitals being bombed, children being massacred, people dying from the cold, and the famine spreading in gaza does not seem enough to grab attention or make people care.
what new tragedy needs to befall gaza for you to start talking about it? the occupation kills a child every few minutes. people are cold and are starving. refugee camps are being bombed with bombs that can level city blocks.
this all happens because of all of us. we are complicit in this genocide because our governments use the taxes we pay to send weapons to the occupation. weapons that are used to kill children and impose a blockade that is starving 2 million people.
the very fact that we're still going about our days when all of this is going on breaks my heart. especially because we have failed to stop our governments from using our money to arm israel.
i urge you, please be generous and donate to suad and her baby khaled. he is just six months old and suad is unable to find any formula for him. if she finds anything, it is extremely expensive. the baby also needs warm clothes and is suffering from a respiratory problem and needs a nebulizer.

please help suad and her baby boy
Spread information.
For the last year, the U.S. has sent billions of dollars worth of weapons and military funding to the Israeli military while it slaughtered and starved Palestinians. More emboldened than ever, Israel is now gearing up for a repeat of Gaza in Lebanon.
The only way to end the genocide in Gaza and prevent that genocide from being expanded to Lebanon is for the U.S. to stop arming Israel.
Tell Congress now!

My name is Yahya from Gaza, I am 20 years old, a student in the Faculty of Pharmacy. I had ambitions and dreams and I was living a happy life with my family in our simple home, but something like a nightmare happened. The war came and took all our dreams and destroyed our home. Our lives became very difficult and arduous. We were living in tents in the extreme heat. My father suffers from chronic diseases, heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and a defect in two cartilages in his back and a cartilage in his neck. My little brother suffers from visual acuity, which means very weak eyesight. Help me save my sick family, my father and brother. I ask for your support and participation. A small donation makes a difference. Thank you all 🙏♥️
Hello my dear. I’m so glad I could reach you.
I’m more than happy to donate and share.
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.
For nine months 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. We lacked security and stability as we were forced to evacuate our house and left everything behind. Then we had to move at least three times since every new area we seek refuge to gets bombed.
I sincerely hope you can empathize with our dire situation and consider supporting us. You can follow me to make sure I am not a scammer and to inquire about any details. Your generosity has the power to make a significant difference.
Please reblog my post, follow me and boost my posts, and repost the link to our campaign across all your social media.
Thank you for standing by me ❤️.
Please donate and/or replog 🥺🙏🇵🇸
