Urgent Plea from Wafaa: Save Her Daughters and Grandchildren
Wafaa's family is verified by Hussein (@el-shab-hussein) and Nairuz (@nabulsi) on their spreadsheet (family number 171).
As you may know, tumblr shadowbanned Wafaa on her old blog for three times in two weeks, which prompted her to create a new (now defunct) blog, which lost messaging within 12 hours of creating it, and then promptly got deleted without notice. The response I got when approaching staff about the frequent shadowbans Wafaa was dealt can be read here. tumblr refused to restore Wafaa's account and said any new blog would experience the same treatment.
By now Wafaa has not seen her 6 hardworking daughters (who all have promising careers and educations in front of them) as well as her 4 grandchildren (the oldest of them being 5 years old, and the youngest of whom is born in December of last year, just 6 months old) in five months.
Three weeks ago, Wafaa received news that her beloved sister and niece were both martyred by an iof bombing. Wafaa is anxious to not lose any of her other loved ones and hopes to reach her campaign goal before the start of August, which is when unofficial sources have said Rafah crossing will be opening again.
I would also like to bring your attention to one of Wafaa's daughters, who had to give birth in a compromised hospital in December while suffering from an intense chest wound from iof bomb shrapnel. She was unable to get sufficient prenatal nor postpartum care for herself nor her son, and now is suffering major complications not just from inadequate care but also from infection from her badly healed chest wound. Because of stress and infection, Wafaa's daughter has not been able to breastfeed her infant son, who because of this has been suffering from malnutrition, which could have debilitating long term effects.
Please, do not look away from this family. We have raised about 84% for Wafaa already, let's maintain this momentum until the end of the month to reunite Wafaa with them!!!
Currently €42,369 raised of €50,000 goal as of July 21. That's €7,631 left to raise to complete the overall campaign goal!
We raised only €159 for Wafaa in the last 2 hours, so any reblogs and donations to the best of your ability is greatly appreciate to help Wafaa's daughters, her grandchildren, and the new mother and her infant son!!!
