I am pleading with you to read, process, and share the story of @shahednhall and her current circumstances. I am begging you to put yourselves in her shoes and act accordingly with all the urgency that the situation demands to save the lives of 5 innocent children.
Though Shahed herself is drained, sickly, and at her wit's end, and there's nothing more I wish than to relieve her of this hardship, she can only think of her siblings' condition. ALL FIVE OF THEM, THE YOUNGEST OF WHICH IS A BABY, ARE SICK WITH VIRAL HEPATITIS due to the unsanitary conditions these sweet children and every Gazan has been forced to withstand.
Currently, Shahed and her family have a ONE WEEK window to get out of Rafah, but are short on funds. We need to raise enough money to allow at least the five children to flee this terrible danger.
They are small, vulnerable, and can't endure indefinitely, and Shahed is wracked with pain while looking on helplessly. With every message I receive from her my heart breaks, and yet I can only imagine a fraction of her anguish. Let's be her helping hand. We have a chance to save lives here. Don't let it slip by. They are counting on us.
Anything at all you can spare is of great help. If you can't spare anything talk to everybody you know, try to reach out to everybody you know, even public figures who might at least share the campaign, and emphasize the urgency of the situation and the lives at stake. Participate in the raffles and share them. Exhaust every option. I'm begging of you to not do nothing.
I'm opening a commissions slot in exchange for proof of donation of at least 15$ to Shahed's campaign. Examples of commissions below.
we deserved a scene of house corning wilson like this asking for drugs
Palestinian men should not have to repeatedly hold up pictures of their family struggling through a genocide, for us to care about them. Fundraisers conducted by/for Palestinian men, should not have to repeatedly refer to their mothers, sisters, wives and children, to make us realize their humanity, their vulnerability. Enough. Isn't it enough after so many months? Hadn't it always been enough?
