Hello, everyone. I'm making this new post in hopes of revitalizing Youssef's campaign which is stagnating. Youssef is NINETEEN YEARS OLD and he bears the crushing responsibility of keeping his family alive during a genocide. In Youssef's words:
"Every day is a new battle. I work long hours, searching in the corners of the camp for any opportunity that allows me to earn some money. Fatigue grips me, but I can't afford to give up. My father is sick, trapped in his pain, and his eyes plead for help. There are moments when I feel my heart shatter when I see his gaze; he endures his suffering in silence, but I know he is hurting. As for my little brother, despite his innocence, he is fighting hepatitis due to contaminated food that we are forced to eat."
After a few weeks of pretty consistent 20(+) per day donat1ons, suddenly we've dropped to FOUR in 24 hours! Youssef and his family are still struggling, so let's not give in halfway. Currently, we are at $7611/15000. Let's do our part and help relieve some of their suffering.
Youssef is Vetted. He is shown on line 255 on the Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundr@iser List by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi.

And thank you to everyone who reblogs and don@tes. You are the best <3
So I just got this in my inbox
It seemed odd that this was sent to my inbox rather than someone sharing it with me through messages, I would understand if I had a post that had a lot of notes but as someone who mainly reblogs stuff this was weird. Another thing was the “gofundme” link just his paypal
I ended up reverse image searching the photos from the accounts same pinned post and saw this (unfortunately I couldn’t find matches for any of the other photos)
It seems like people are trying to scam others under the guise of donations. It’s hard to say “be cautious with where you donate” in a time like this but this is genuinely so disgusting I needed to share it. (also on twitter I confirmed that yes this is a fake account using their photos)
Above is the actual gofundme link, please donate if you can and keep making noise about Gaza and the genocide the people of Palestine are going through and report the account that’s trying to scam people.
The kids are all right
Yesterday, my community service club was doing outside litter pickup, when I overheard one of my students talking about Israel killing kids.
“Yeah, Israel is killing Palestinian kids. Israel is killing children like us.”
“What!?”
*pulls out phone to show a video of babies in distress after the Israeli air strikes.”
“Huhh! Omg look at her!”

I keep thinking what he meant by “us.” Children their age, racially minoritized people, or was it something else?

The children are listening.

Don't stop talking about Palestine
Palestinians are no longer asking us to help stop the bombing.
They are asking ( I would normally say begging, but proud as they are, Allah save them. After 106 days, they never begged for anything) for food.
They fear dying out of hunger more than being shredded to pieces by bombs
The messages they send.... How can I tell it's worse.. I can't put it into words, but it's worse
me giving relationship advice: communicate or end it
"what a nerd lol" i said with barely controlled lust
