what I wish people would understand about fundraising for gaza is that while everyone is desperate and I would never say not to fundraise for or donate to individual families-- I currently fundraise to support multiple friends' families-- the overwhelming narrative I see on Tumblr that the best and most ethical thing you can do is send money to individuals and there is no option for anything else is so so incredibly damaging and inadvertently lends support to the marginalization and distrust of any remaining communal social infrastructure. the sameer project, which you should donate to, talks about this in a recent video they put out. the situation in gaza is unimaginable and everyone is in need of a huge level of support, and yet this fundraising discourse by well-meaning people in the west that donating money to individuals is the only moral way reproduces societal divides wherein resources are directed to people who speak English, who have relationships with people outside of gaza, and who have internet access while hundreds of thousands are left behind.
there ARE non-ngo locally based grassroots initiatives working to meet those needs however they can, and your small donation goes a lot further with them because they are able to buy food/water/supplies in bulk at a reduced price and reach more people with less money. again I'm not saying people shouldn't fundraise for individuals because these initiatives are so limited and many people cannot access them -- but as an example, the group I fundraise with is currently serving people fleeing north gaza who are starving and have nothing, and when we fundraise enough to do cash aid distribution there's so much need that our partners can only distribute 100-200 per large family. and then I go online and see people who have absolutely no understanding of this context at all exclusively working towards raising tens of thousands for just a few people when evacuations haven't been possible for months. it's good to do whatever you can but please consider how this narrative being reproduced among westerners trying to help that there are no other options has the potential to damage groups working towards equity and wider reach however is still possible
I feel like "trump wants to throw away literal dinosaur fossils" would really turn heads if we actually had a functional opposition party in this country to get messages out, but I guess I'll just have to get a paint pen and write it on my car. fine, I'll do it.
Netanyahu has returned to war, returned to killing and destruction again. Our tent is in a border area. We couldn't even sit in it. We had to work and clean it. Now we're going to leave it. Where will we live? I am sick today from the intensity of fear of the Israeli occupation's dog strikes. I could not do anything for my sick parents who needed medicine, nutrition and food, and I could not do anything. They killed up to 1000 martyrs and more in a matter of hours, so what about the wounded? This is our chance. I am here now. I don’t know. I might die today, tomorrow, or even now. Donate Donate, my friend. You don’t know how I feel when I tell you to donate.
I'm tired of sharing news with you on Tumblr. Every day I mention some people, some of them answer and some of them don't, but will you help me today by sharing the post with the largest number of people who die every day in Gaza and need your donations?

Children in Gaza are losing their limbs every day—just like the little girl in this heartbreaking photo. The war has stolen their futures, their mobility, and their right to live in peace. My own son, Qais, is just two years old. He was injured in an airstrike, and I cannot afford the medical treatment he desperately needs. As a mother with no income, I beg you—please Donate and help us. Your donation could be the reason Qais walks again.
This is the terrifying reality for many children in Gaza:
1. Airstrikes often target residential areas, leaving children with life-altering injuries.
2. Hospitals lack medicine and equipment, and most families cannot afford private care.
3. Children like Qais are at risk of permanent disability, even death, without timely treatment.
I watch my child cry in pain every night, and I can do nothing but hold him. No mother should face this. We need your support now more than ever. Every donation—no matter the amount—can help save Qais’s , his future, and his life. Please, don’t look away. Help us heal.

Please stop ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child😔😭

And they still insist we shouldn't draw comparisons to the Holocaust
Some parents will never forgive you for how they failed you
Unlike the last one who merely pretended to be feral, this beautiful smoke is actually feral. He doesn't become super affectionate but you can still see him responding to the mommy cat noise and he did allow me to touch him though he was still very uncertain.
He's so amazingly handsome and I hope his eyes stay green
The Israeli occupation bombed Nasser Hospital tonight and bombed the journalists' tent there, which led to the burning of 3 journalists and there are 8 martyrs. The Israeli occupation is using the most heinous types of killing and genocide against us. We do not deserve all of this. Please, I do not want to burn to death here. Help me with a donation, so that I can escape, me and my family, out of Gaza as soon as possible. Please.
We desperately need your help here so we can escape the war zone. Please donate and share. Tell everyone what is happening to us here.!!!
