Hello,,
My name is Ashraf Alanqar, and I am 30 years old. My wife, Widad Issa, and I have a one-and-a-half-year-old son named Bakr. We used to live peacefully in the Al-Shuja’iya neighborhood, in a house we built just a week before the war began. I worked as a farmer and owned a large chicken farm that provided for my family.
Beloved of my heart (Bakr)
Then the war came and destroyed everything. Our home was reduced to ashes, and our chicken farm was obliterated. We lost our home, our livelihood, and even our basic rights. We've been forced to move from place to place in northern Gaza, simply trying to survive.
My House before...
Me.. while trying to recognize what has happened..
The terror we feel as we flee from heavy bombardment is unbearable. The sound of explosions around us, the constant fear as we navigate through the rubble of destroyed homes searching for safety and food, haunts us every day. My son Bakr is constantly scared and suffers from severe malnutrition and skin diseases due to the lack of food, water, and sanitation.
Our beautiful memories.. :(
We urgently need your help. I am asking for your support to fund this campaign to move my family to a safe place, provide us with a proper home, and ensure we have enough food, water, and medical care.
Baker used to play with his dog.
Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in our lives. We desperately need your support and solidarity during this difficult time. Together, we can restore hope and safety to Ashraf and his family.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea. Your support means more than words can express. Together, we can turn a story of loss into a journey of hope and resilience.
With deepest gratitude,
Ashraf & the Family

Wafaa's family is verified by Hussein (@el-shab-hussein) and Nairuz (@nabulsi) on their spreadsheet (family number 171).
As you may know, tumblr shadowbanned Wafaa on her old blog for three times in two weeks, which prompted her to create a new (now defunct) blog, which lost messaging within 12 hours of creating it, and then promptly got deleted without notice. The response I got when approaching staff about the frequent shadowbans Wafaa was dealt can be read here. tumblr refused to restore Wafaa's account and said any new blog would experience the same treatment.
By now Wafaa has not seen her 6 hardworking daughters (who all have promising careers and educations in front of them) as well as her 4 grandchildren (the oldest of them being 5 years old, and the youngest of whom is born in December of last year, just 6 months old) in five months.
Three weeks ago, Wafaa received news that her beloved sister and niece were both martyred by an iof bombing. Wafaa is anxious to not lose any of her other loved ones and hopes to reach her campaign goal before the start of August, which is when unofficial sources have said Rafah crossing will be opening again.
I would also like to bring your attention to one of Wafaa's daughters, who had to give birth in a compromised hospital in December while suffering from an intense chest wound from iof bomb shrapnel. She was unable to get sufficient prenatal nor postpartum care for herself nor her son, and now is suffering major complications not just from inadequate care but also from infection from her badly healed chest wound. Because of stress and infection, Wafaa's daughter has not been able to breastfeed her infant son, who because of this has been suffering from malnutrition, which could have debilitating long term effects.
Please, do not look away from this family. We have raised about 84% for Wafaa already, let's maintain this momentum until the end of the month to reunite Wafaa with them!!!
Raffles that you can enter by donating to Wafaa:
beautiful journals available until July 31 provided by @turian for any proof of donation to Wafaa for at least €5. more details see @journalsforpalestine
wonderful art commissions provided by @aristotels here which ends July 23 for proof of donation for at least €10 to Wafaa.
TL;DR endless pleading for literally any social service nonprofit etc to help yet i still cannot fix it.
I’m not getting help anymore here/otherwise, prior help was inadequate, still at perpetual risk of losing my car (and job, and house, and so on), beyond fucked on past due rent and utilities, getting more sick by the day, medical bills are just too expensive for the barrage of tests my providers order and urge me to complete asap since insurance doesn’t want to cover costs as I’m “too young” to be so sick etc… tell that to my body… going to work full time still negative income, I don’t eat anymore basically at all because I can’t afford it. Now an increase in severe health complications like palpitations, syncope, acute spike and drops in blood pressure, etc as a result of being so gaunt.
My credit is fucked because I had to pay a former housemate’s portion of utilities and other expenses for nearly 14 months straight without being reimbursed except for a very small portion of all they were responsible for. Had to take their bills on since they decided not to pay utilities etc and we couldn't afford to get our power shut off. I was financially unable to pay these costs at any point, any reminders i gave them like they requested incl. that i could not make my own ends meet were actively ignored, now dealing with all this. I feel like I’m constantly going to keel over at work, my partner hasn’t been compensated at all for like a month of work because the hr processor never actually finished filing their documents, I need gas for my car, I need us to eat, I need our utilities to not get shut off, I need to keep my car, I need to keep living in our house, I need to not want to die 27 fucking 7 and to get a chance to navigate my new diagnoses so I can get back to some semblance of stability, please can someone fucking help. Fuck all this. Thanks.

I am writing this on behalf of Mohammed Abu Amsha @mohammedamsha and his family. Right now, he is living in Gaza with his wife @ghadabanat, his elderly parents, and his young children. His daughter is a year and a half old, and he has a newborn son who is less than a month old.
Right now, he and his family are struggling to stay alive. Bombing has been increasing and getting closer to where they are staying. Food, clothing, and any kind of sanitation are difficult to find. Mohammed's children are suffering from malnutrition and are at risk of illness, as he struggles to find things like formula and diapers for them.
Imagine having to give birth in a war zone. Lacking the necessary medical care, having to fear infection both for yourself and your precious newborn, as you have nowhere safe or clean to stay. Imagine having to recover from giving birth, while living in fear of bombing that you could have to flee at any moment. No one should have to live through that. No one should have to watch their loved ones go through that either. Please help Mohammed and Ghada so they may have a better, safer life.
Donations have been slow for Mohammed's campaign, and at times he will not recieve any donations for several days. Please support him, so that he can buy food and diapers for his children, and so he may take care of his family so they may live.

Forever adoring the fact that Kalim’s favorite childhood story was of The Princess and The Thief, the tale of a Princess who choose to marry someone of a lower station, whose father decided to change the law of just to make her happy….a person of higher station marrying someone of lower standing and being happy together, like….Kalim, bby, is there something you wanna share with the class?

NOTHING TO ME!!! He's a TRAITOR and a LIAR and I HATE HIM! I hate his silky hair and his kind eyes and his warm smile and his gorgeous robes and his soothing voice and that outstretched hand, so soft yet so strong, reaching for me, trying to draw me closer to him and his sugar-sweet proclamations of understanding and companionship- STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT! I HATE HIM! HE'S NOTHING TO ME! NOTHING AT ALL! I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM- *throws himself on the floor in a red-faced tantrum*
