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 · 7h

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 · 1d

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.

My friends, why did you stop supporting me? My life is very difficult in the tents. After losing everything, I became unable to do anything. I lost my passion for life. I need your support to survive, me and my children. You are my source of income. Anything that saves us

People in Gaza lost everything. A ceasefire is meaningful, but so many people are hungry and have no or inadequate shelter. Please continue to support Motaz and other Palestinians, they are relying on you.

The solidarity has stopped
The donations have stopped💔

But our suffering hasn’t stopped

Every father dreams of giving his children safety —
but for me, safety means a roof that won’t disappear tomorrow. 🏠💔

We’re short on this month’s rent — $500 needed before the 15th —and without it, my children will have nowhere to sleep in peace.

Your kindness can be our shelter this month. 🙏❤️
