great question. while a lot of these gofundmes started to fund evacuations, since the border will not open they have shifted to covering the costs of daily survival in gaza
the cost of food alone in gaza right now has been reported by journalists on the ground (including @siraj2024) to be 20 times the normal price.
and it varies based on location. the north is currently being starved by the IOF so food prices are higher
and there is a lot of evidence on tumblr that proves that these fundraisers do help
@ma7moudgaza2 was able to buy a tent for his family and is currently trying to pay for a solar panel
@siraj2024 was able to secure rent for a (bombed out, but still) apartment for his family over the winter
@mohdiwais was able to fund medical care for his sister after she was shot by the IOF using funds he raised on tumblr
a gaza-based charity called care for gaza has also been directly assisting families with funds used from their gofundme. they even post videos of themselves giving out food
and those are just a few examples. hope this helped!
it’s trans visibility day if u r transgender, i want u to know i see you. you’re not safe. equal rights equal fights i’m approaching rapidly 👁️👁️
i've recently noticed a pattern that i'm not sure that i like. we have hundreds of fundraisers circulating on this site. many of them go without donations for days/weeks. if any fundraiser receives donations, its because the posts stand out/ something very tragic has happened to someone in the family.
for example, the nineteen year old, Shaban Al-Dalou, who was burnt alive a few days ago had a fundraiser. the family only reached their goal after losing that poor boy. i cannot understand why couldn't we have helped him before? i dont know how the family will cope with his loss.
so ask yourself, is genocide not a simple enough reason to donate? or do you need the family to be hit with a tragedy to even consider donating? everyone, i mean EVERYONE in gaza has experienced unimaginable loss and pain and destruction. they've lost their homes, livlihood, friends and family.
humanity has existed for so long because we care. we love each other and are hurt to see others' suffering.
you don't have to wait for tragedy to strike someone to donate. they are going through starvation, forced displacement, and mass murder. please care about this.
do not decrease the meaning of the word genocide. it breaks my heart to see the suffering of the people of gaza at the hands of their colonizers.
I've just got one thing left to say, save my friend mahmoud and his family. they deserve to live just like everyone. help him secure a better future for his family.

for the sake of appearances i am very much a “that’s none of my business” and “i don’t need to know about that. you keep that to yourself” sort of fellow. removed. respectful. but being fully honest i AM a nasty little ears perked freak… like yes tell me all of your information without being prompted at all. i love to listen.
