This User Does Not Celebrate Christmas But Enjoys The Excuse To Buy Their Friends Many Gifts

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

"The occupation leader threatens to bomb all of Gaza, and the explosions are terrifying. The death toll has exceeded 500. Please don’t leave us to face death alone. Donate to save us."

I feel like a fool asking for help but if anyone can give me a hand getting some extra groceries before the first, I would be very very thankful. I'm not sure what else to do but ask here at this point. This month has been rough for everyone, I know, and I'm sorry to beg. I just feel like I'm out of options.

Hello, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Anas from Gaza. The situation here is devastating—war, constant bombings, and unbearable living conditions have left us struggling to survive. I’m reaching out with a humble request: please help us by donating through the GoFundMe link below, even if it’s a small amount. Every contribution, no matter how little, makes a difference in supporting my family and those affected around us.
