so date in the human world when ????
the first campaign for kholood smeer (@kholoodpals) has not reached its goal yet, and donations have slowed down as well. the violence in palestine hasn't stopped and the remnants of it still take a toll beyond the basic necessities of a person, kholood has been displaced, her campaign for her family and herself has been open for months and it was meant just as a first step in helping them heal, yet not even this has been realised.
kholood doesn't lose hope, neither do i, so she wants to encourage people to help her in rebuilding her life and her family's life, she has decided to give away two items of her own in a raffle: a necklace and a kuffiyeh of her own that she will be sending to two people that win the raffle.
to participate first you must donate to kholood's campaign.
send proof of your donation through this form.
the raffle will run from january 23rd to february 16th, 12:00am gmt +2 time.
the first prize: the kuffiyeh will be for the person that donates the BIGGEST amount and submits proof through the form.
the second prize: the necklace will be selected at random by kholood from the entries of all that donate and submit proof through the form. you can enter as many times as you want to, EACH DONATION counts as a participation for this prize.
you must be comfortable giving us a shipping address.
the winners will be announced by tagging in this blog and we will dm you for the shipping address once that happens.
join us, please, thanks for reading.
£2100/£5000.
this is just part of a bigger goal and we haven't met it, i cannot stress enough how much they need to get back so little, i believe we can do more than that, please help.
this fundraiser has been vetted here at #337.

Jabalia Rehabilitation Society is the only institution in the northern Gaza Strip that provides services to a large group of people with disabilities, especially those with hearing disabilities. It is considered a center for health, psychological and educational support in Jabalia camp that is no less important than government institutions. It is considered one of the contributing and supporting institutions alongside the government health and educational centers in the camp and shares the burden and community services with those centers.
Since the beginning of the war on Gaza on October 7, the institution has been a center for sheltering thousands of displaced civilians, especially those with disabilities and their families who benefit from the institution's services. However, after the Israeli occupation forces entered Jabalia camp for the second time in the war on May 12, they destroyed and burned all the buildings and facilities of the association after it had been a shelter for thousands of displaced people.

it's very surreal to see posts about palestine dwindling down after the ceasefire. israel is still blocking aid to and trying to make life difficult for palestinians in gaza. we still have to continue to speak up about gaza.
in this ceasefire, many palestinians are trying to rebuild in attempts to try and return to what they had before the genocide. despite the heavy and unbearable loss of life that gaza has experienced, her people continue to try to make a better world for their children.
alaa is a mother of two young children. she wants to rebuild her house and get a better future for her children. please have heart and consider helping her out. her fundraiser has been verified.

please donate what you can and share widely.
I know I'm like poor as fuck and so close ro being homeless but with the devastating blow the other night when i woke up this morning for hours I felt like there was another black woman who needed something from me. I messaged a black birth worker I'm acquaintances with and was like there is something on my heart saying to send another black woman like $20 for lunch or something and I thought of you.
Y'all I could fucking scream bc the universe always knows. She knows. She knows when my sisters need help. She told me she didn't even know how she was gonna feed herself and her kids tonight bc her stamps don't reup til tomorrow.
This why I be so mad when y'all try to deter direct mutual aid in favor of these white ass funds that y'all KNOW aren't gonna even think abt black women and kids. Direct aid will ALWAYS win out bc them babies was hungry tonight. Not 3-5 business days later when a fund MIGHT select her name from hundreds to dispense funds.
And before a stupid bitch come up in my inbox again like before and call me a dumbass for being poor and giving money, bitch poor people are all other poor ppl got. We have to look out for each other because the wealthy don't give a fuck. Passing around a $20 back and forth between us when needed is better than nothing and I always rather have a heart for other poor folks than nothing. Someone will always be worse off than me and I have to do my part too.
