Is that a lot of money to you?

If not, then please consider donating that amount to Safa'a and her family, who are desperate to escape the war in Gaza and start over. The fundraiser is in Euros, but a Dollar is worth an Euro, so you don't have to convert anything again! Just donate the same amount!

And if it is, then donate what you can - half an hour, ten minutes, whatever you can spare. Many small donations are what we're going for! And of course, if you can spare more hours for her, please do!

Please, let's help her out. Her fundraiser is vetted!

god. its really frustrating the way internet virality works. everyone who sees success can only do so at the expense of others.

both shahed and shaima+mohammed (wafaa's siblings) were the initial targets of the recent wave of scam allegations, yet only shahed's gofundme was spread and received support as a result. maybe this is because and shaima and mohammed are slightly older, more traditional people who can't work the internet as well, maybe because they were less willing to share the intimate details of their pain online. maybe it's plain luck. either way its pretty shitty that only one person received the proper support after all that abuse, and that everyone else is being ignored.

since shahed reached her goal i want to redirect all of our righteous anger and empathy toward some of the other palestinians who were primarily targeted by this hate campaign. many of the campaigns on this list are stagnating in the amount of donations they recieve, despite the amount of attention they've received lately. of course, everyone here is vetted by either 90-ghost or el-shab-hussein:

mahmoud balousha @helpfamily, who was targeted by one of the biggest blogs on this website and likened to a porn account. [verification]

amira alanqar @amira-world , who was targeted by some arrogant bitch who thought they knew better than actual palestinians how to vet a fundraiser and who also claimed that there was no point in donating to palestinians because evacuations are uncommon. [verification]

basel's cousin fadi ayyad. [verification]

heba al anqar @heba-baker, who was accused of being part of a belgian botnet because of her surname. [verification]

and of course:

omar saad, ahmed @/90-ghost's brother, who is still in khan yunis with his family. ahmed, our sole vetter for a while, has gone through immeasurable abuse in the past week and we all owe it to him as people who have benefited from his labor to take one burden off his shoulders. [verification]

..I am Ahmed from Gaza, a father of three children. I lost my source of livelihood and my right hand was amputated in the war, and now no one helps us. Please help my children who suffer from malnutrition and skin diseases. We lost our home. We were displaced in tents and our tent burned. We moved from one place to another. Help me spread my campaign and get out of this genocide.

Please help my family by donating or reblog my campaign is going very slowly 🙏🍉

Ahmed's campaign is currently still going very slow, at $12,290/$50,000 raised and only 1 donation in the past day!

Please help this family reach the goal they need to evacuate and survive! Any support you can give is extremely important :(

They are listed at #137 on this spreadsheet of vetted fundraisers

Block the writing-prompt-s blog. I don't care if you like them I don't care if they're important to your ability to practice your creativity. They chased a genocide survivor off of tumblr with harassment and baseless accusations. This is a serious fucking problem and it's more important than 1 writing prompt blog.

They also run drawing-prompt-s and badjokesbyjeff for those unaware

This is already getting more notes than I anticipated so here. And Ahmed got the help of another blogger to make the announcement that he will not be returning to tumblr due to the hate and harassment he received in no small part thanks to writing-prompt-s' harassment and then this is the best that his little shitfans have to say:

I cannot emphasize enough how much white people have obssessively played the victim of hate campaigns and false accusations while LEADING them in this situation. Fucking laughable trying to paint "the largest blog on here" as a victim of a witchhunt for skepticism. Motherfucker went out of his way to shit on a genocide survivor and helped the mob chase him off the platform. White people will never ever ever take responsibility for their actions.

I have a list full of vetted campaigns and not once has this fucking blog ever supported them like they stated 'they would love to'. But ok.

Help save Bilal's family!

i want to talk about my friend Bilal @bilal-salah0. for over a year now, Bilal has been living in germany, trying to adjust to his new living situation in a foreign country, learning a new language and working full time. 

when the war started, he was far away from home and his family and has been living in daily fear for their lives ever since. 

being forced to work long hours and promoting his family’s fundraiser at the same time, he has taken on more responsibility than anyone ever should. still, he managed to raise money for their evacuation fund and helped take care of his family’s daily needs with the money he was making while working. 

in a cruel twist of fate, all of this got taken away in an instant. he lost his job and his apartment and even his residence permit. which means he is at danger of deportation from germany that could happen as soon as next week!

i have been in daily contact with Bilal for a while now and connected him with some of my friends in germany. together, we are trying our utmost to make sure he can stay in the country. anyone who knows german bureaucracy knows what kind of hell it is. but we won't give up.

without his job, he was forced to dip into the money of his family’s evacuation fund to cover their daily expenses like food and shelter. this meant he had to raise his goal from €70,000 to €100,000. this was not an easy decision for him to make, he even asked for my advice on whether or not to do it, because he did not want anyone to think he was scamming people. 

even in such a desperate situation, Bilal does not want to be seen as someone who would ever take advantage of people's generosity

his family is comprised of 18 members, 10 of them are adults and 8 are children under 16 years old, some of them newborns who were born amidst the chaos of war and displacement.

currently, he is sitting at:

€71,817 / €100,000

donations have been slowing down ever since he reached his original goal. i cannot stress how important it is that they pick back up!

WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! HE NEEDS TO REACH HIS GOAL BY AUGUST 15TH!

THAT MEANS HE HAS TO RAISE NEARLY 30K IN THE NEXT TEN DAYS. THIS CANT WAIT.

his campaign has been verified and can be found on @/el-shab-hussein’s and @/nabulsi’s list of vetted fundraisers here (#132, line 136) so PLEASE don't hesitate to share and donate.

With such a tight deadline, i cant do this on my own. So i implore you to PLEASE share this wherever you can– on your whatsapp groups, on your discord servers, please share his story on other platforms wherever you have reach! Please share his story wherever you can, so that we can ease this burden from his shoulders.

[ID: a gfm link with a picture of two small children sitting in the sand in front of a cooking pot. they are looking up a the camera, eyes half-closed. the title reads "Donate to Help Evacuate My Family from Gaza to Safety, organized by Bilal salah" End ID]

💜This is a signal boost for the Sharif family!💜

vetted by 90-ghost here vetted by northgazaupdates here reblogged by vetted-gaza-funds here

This fundraiser is urgently in need of a boost! Folks, Mahmoud recently contacted me to share his story -> read it here in his own words:

I am Mahmoud Al-Sharif, married and have 3 children, and my wife is about to give birth now with my fourth child. We are from the Gaza Strip, which suffers from wars. lived through 5 of these wars, and I lost my eyes and fingers hand, and my other eye was damaged.

To date, they have been only able to raise $1,492 USD of the $60,000 they need to cross the border into Egypt and escape the ravages of genocide. Here, Mahmoud hopes that he might get medical treatment for his eye, and that his wife will be able to give birth in a place of safety.

Can you help them by making a donation?

It is so important to keep sharing their story -> you can follow this family at @mahmoud-sharif. I encourage you to read and reblog their posts, and of course, donate if you are able to do so 💜

Please pay attention to campaigns that are set up with the goal of rebuilding lives in Gaza. Gaza is not gone. Gaza won't be a ghost town for the occupation to set up their settlements in. When you ignore campaigns that explicitly state that they aim to rebuild lives back in Gaza, you are giving credibility to those nasty beach resort ads, Isn'treal had the audacity to air. I don't want to romanticize because it is dehumanizing in itself but do you know how much hope, how much strength there is in setting up a campaign that is explicitly stating " This money is going to go to rebuilding my life back in Gaza. " Don't disrespect it in this way, don't disrespect these campaigns.

Donate to @siraj2024 at least go through his blog. Go through his fundraiser. Boost! This is tumblr, the stupidest shitposts go viral and we can't get Siraj out to the wide number of people on here?? Help him keep his hope. Help him in rebuilding his life in Gaza. 10k that is all he is asking for his short term goal. Please help. Help.

There has only been a donation of $5 for almost 6 hrs now. Siraj's fundraiser is stagnant at $13364

I know when I made this post it was to get Siraj to 10k and I am thankful to all who helped Siraj get there but we cannot stop now.

I am earnestly requesting you to keep boosting and donating to Siraj. To get him to 20k. Tell your friends and family about Siraj. Take his fundraiser to other social media platforms. Please.

Shahed could be left behind soon.

You may have heard of Shahed (@shahednhall) - most likely through the recent racist smear campaigns taking stabs at her name in lack of anything concrete to validate their anti-Palestinian hatred.

But did you also know she's a photographer? Did you know she loves baking and fashion?

Did you know she is the primary caretaker of her five younger siblings, the youngest of which is a newborn? Did you know that she loves them more than anything?

Did you know her three sisters are sick with viral hepatitis due to the unsanitary conditions in Gaza?

Because of Shahed's love for them, she found the strength despite her own sickness and malnourishment to walk great distances while she was supposed to be sheltering from bombardment, to find internet access to raise funds to evacuate her sister so that they may seek medical care.

Because of that strength, she was able to raise enough funds for them, but if she doesn't reach the end goal of her campaign as soon as next week, she will be separated from her sisters.

As of this post, she has raised $65,561 out of $80,000. That is barely enough for her siblings and her father, who has a heart disease. That is not enough money for Shahed to go with them!

I implore you to make sure Shahed is not left behind. I implore you to get them out together as a family.

Tagging for reach:

$70,917 OUT OF $80,000

We are so close. With every donation, you bring 17 people (and those who love them) closer to taking a real breath of relief. Don't stop now!

The only decent way to use white privilege

transcription of tweet thread (x)

A few months ago, I put myself between a man of color and two police officers who were harassing him. I was able to do this calmly and automatically because my mother trained me how to do it and I've spent years thinking about how to react if I had to use my whiteness this way.
The first thing I did: I pulled out my phone. I made sure the officers SAW me pull out my phone. I made sure they saw me turn on the voice recording.
The next thing: I calmly but firmly contradicted the officers. They insisted that they had gotten a call saying that this man was following people trying to get them to sign petitions. I told them I had been there for a half hour and he had not done anything of the sort. 
The officers then tried to get me to be quiet. I said that I would be quiet, but that their reports were wrong, they were not listening to an eyewitness, and I was not moving from this spot until they left this man alone.
I then made a VERY BIG SHOW of taking down these officers names and badge numbers on my phone. I made sure the one next to me could see that I had texted this information to someone (my mom). I'm talking craning my neck to look at their badges, tilting my phone to show the screen
Then, I just fixed the one across with me with a stare. The bitchiest, don't fuck with me, I'm a femme white lady stare I could summon. And I did not stop staring or move from that spot until they left. And they did leave.
And then I gave the guy my phone number just in case and I called activist friends up in the community and made sure people were in the parking lot in case the cops came back so he could continue his petition work in peace.
You've got to be prepared. Keep your phone charged and in easy access. Know where your recording apps are. Who will you text badge numbers to so there's a record? Go through it in your head until it feels as natural as holding your keys between your fingers in a parking lot.
This is the work we must do. Those officers never would've touched me. I was never in danger for a moment. Use the enormous privilege you have for good if a time comes where you need to step up and be an actual shield.
And a final thing, remember: this is not about YOUR anger. Your anger has no place here. Your job is to be calm and never escalate a situation the officers are looking for a chance to escalate. Because you won't be the one they will escalate on. The person of color will be.
Your job is to remind the officers that white ladies can be a damn nuisance. And a lot of paperwork. And what if this one is related to somebody important? What if this one writes letters to the editor? She's texting someone my badge number, is this really worth it?

Hi all, I had just come home from a 10 hour work day, semi-relieved that we would have at least raised $1,000 for Wafaa's sister and brother today, after three days of barely any donations, when I saw the donations plummet from almost $8,200 to $7,600. An anonymous donor who contributed $500 had pulled out of the campaign because of a baseless claim.

Link for Hussein’s post here explaining the entire debacle where the user pointed out Shahed and Shaima + Muhammad shared the same organizer. Screenshot included below where they namely mentioned Shaima and Muhammad's campaign.

I have known Wafaa after she talked to and was verified by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi on their spreadsheet in late April-early May. At that point she was still struggling to fundraise for her own children and grandchildren (family number 171 on spreadsheet). By then just a few months on the app, she had been shadowbanned, so I added her to Whatsapp just in case staff ever thought to delete her intentionally.

Which they did on July 19, after shadowbanning Wafaa four times in the span of barely two weeks, they deleted her old blog without notice. I was extremely worried for her campaign, and continued to post in her stead. On July 20, Wafaa made a new blog, @wafans-blog, which she still uses.

Wafaa recently reached her goal and after she was contacted by her sister and brother Shaima and Muhammad, she was overjoyed but was also tasked with the difficult campaign of evacuating all 10 of their children, themselves, and their spouses (a campaign for 14 people in total).

So why didn't Wafaa use the same organizer who helped her last campaign? They have a family emergency and long working hours and thus could no longer continue to sponsor Wafaa, especially for a long campaign. Wafaa then turned to Shahed, who had helped Wafaa promote her campaign when she had just created it and had a trusted organizer in the U.S. Through Shahed, Wafaa connected with the organizer Said, who agreed to help create the campaign for Wafaa. That is why Shahed and Wafaa's family share the same gfm organizer.

Shaima and Muhammad's campaign was verified by Hussein literally 4 days ago and added to the same vetted spreadsheet (family number 260).

Because of Hala agency pricing the evacuation of all kids above 15 as adults ($5,000 per person), this campaign has 6 children who each need $5,000 in order to be registered for evacuation. Our goal this week is to raise enough money for the 4 children who are below the age of 15. Please help us get to $8,000 at the very least by tonight, and $10,000 by the end of this week.

The most recent donation was from 40 minutes ago. We are currently at $7,920. Please help us raise $80 in the next hour.
