Ahmed was in Gaza today (For those who know him) He sent me these photos via WhatsApp with these words: "These are images of Gaza City. Bombings are everywhere. The reality is harsher than the images." #Gaza

There is so much immediate need in Gaza, please support Palestinians. I cannot stress this enough, every single donation matters.

"There are many more but there are areas I couldn't get inside but all the houses are flattened to the ground."

You can make a difference. Please chip in what you can 🧡

Winter brings cold temperatures, rain, and wind. Marah and her family are in a tent, they have limited options to keep warm, and they need Winter clothes for Mila. There may be a ceasefire, but there is still so much immediate need.

This is very important, can we please help Hasan? He is so close to the goal; there is $162 left to raise by Tuesday. He has moved mountains for his family and his children recently started school. Every donation adds up, I hope you will join me in supporting Hasan.

Designer Hasan @designer4hasand.bsky.social · 1d

Rent is due in just 2 days & I’m terrified of not being able to keep this roof over my family heads.💔

We’ve already been through so much loss after the genocide & I just want them to feel safe, to wake up in the same place tomorrow.

Please, help us finish this, donate if you can or simply share.

Please don’t scroll past this.
I’m still here… still fighting to survive.
I’m sick, my father is very sick — and we have no way to get treatment.
We live in a tent, in the freezing cold, with nothing but the wind and the sound of our hunger.

We no longer have a home or shelter in Gaza City or the north. The occupation has destroyed everything—our memories, our dreams, and even the places where we used to seek safety from fear.All that remains for us is hope that life will rise again from beneath the rubble💔🇵🇸

Hasan is working so hard to rebuild his life and provide stability for his family. He needs to pay rent by the 15th. Please contribute if you can.

Designer Hasan @designer4hasand.bsky.social · 2d

Kind hearts,
Please, we urgently need your help to complete the rent amount — we still have £345 left. 🙏
Every bit brings us closer to keeping a safe roof over our children’s heads. ️🧡

Gazans aren’t asking for privilege just the chance to live with dignity.
To study, to work, to heal, to dream again.
That’s not asking for too much. That’s asking to be human.
