Help Newborn Trapped in Al-Mawasi Camp Evacuate

Hi guys, as you may recall, Wafaa (@wafans-blog) recently got in contact with her brother Muhammad and sister Shaima, who thankfully are unharmed with their spouses and children. Wafaa is verified on @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi's vetted spreadsheet (family number #171).

The campaign has been stagnating for more than 12 hours now, I cannot impress upon you more that this pair of brother and sister, who have 10 children in total, need your help to evacuate their children and keep them safe.

A trauma surgeon at a Khan Younis field hospital reported late last night that the iof repeatedly and fatally targets children by "firing directly at their head and chest" especially during this new round of offenses in Khan Younis. Please don't only be mobilized by tragedy. Help now.

Muhammad hopes that his newborn son, Salem, who only a few weeks old, can evacuate with Wafaa's family who has raised their evacuation fees. Salem is a priority concern because the overwhelmed hospital in Khan Younis does not have vaccines for him, making him especially susceptible to viral infections that have been spreading among the al-Mawasi camp.

To help the family achieve this, we need to raise $2,500 USD as soon as possible!! There has only been 6 donations in the past 11 hours. Currently $672 as of July 28 morning, that's $1,828 left to raise to save Salem!!

I'm Alaa, a 49-year-old father from Gaza with eight children. Recent events have left us homeless and without means of support, and we are now living in a tent in Dair al-Balah.

I’m reaching out in a time of desperate need. I lived in Gaza, where I ran three clothing stores and built a life with my family. Sadly, the ongoing conflict has destroyed everything. We’ve been forced to move seven times, lost our home and businesses, and suffered the tragic loss of my nephew.

Any assistance you can offer would mean the world to us. Your generosity could bring us the hope and safety we so desperately need.

Thank you for considering our plea.

Warm regards,

Alaa

Help a Palestinian college student rebuild his home!

As you know, I and my mutuals frequently post about Siraj @/siraj2024, who is trying to rebuild his home in Gaza. We stress that rebuilding in Gaza and resisting ethnic cleansing is just as important as evacuating to safety. One of the things we are all fighting for is for Palestinians to have the right to return to their homes. With that, I have another campaign I'd like to bring to your attention.

Mahmoud Hamam (@ma7moudgaza2) is a web designer and college student. He and his family have been displaced by the IOF several times and now live in a tent in al-Mawasi, Khan Yunis. He cannot stay there much longer.

Here's what studying is like for him now:

Due to the recent massacres there, he has been unable to come online. He also had his previous account terminated by Tumblr, in an act of genocidal censorship. This is why we must help him.

He is only at $2,238 of $25,000, and he has been campaigning for a month as of right now. He has a long way to go but I beliveve it is possible to get him to his goal soon! We have seen people raise this amount in record time, I really do believe in all of us.

Despite all he has endured, he has not given up hope. Lets help him rebuild.

I am Mahmoud Hamam from Gaza, in the midst of destruction and bombing. I am writing to you that our morale is still high and that determination is present. After all the harsh circumstances we have been through, horrific events, but they will not destroy us, but rather they will make us stronger..

i want to learn to validate the anxious feelings that keep me procrastinating rather than trying to squash them away

& i want to learn to use self-compassion to (lovingly) undermine my urge to invest self-worth in outcome. because that seems like a major subconscious reason behind my procrastination: the task becomes overwhelming because i’m letting it define me. this blog post says procrastination is actually a signal that we need more self-care and self-compassion. it’s not always showing a lack of time management (though that can play a part) – if i saw my tasks as not determining my worth or ability but just as something to do, something i could potentially enjoy intrinsically, i wouldn’t feel this level of anxiety

healthy self-appreciation is interconnected with others. just as we can offer ourselves self-compassion for our inadequacies and mistakes by remembering that it makes us human, and is thus a point of connection, we can learn to shine knowing that it’s connected with others. 

“If you take the notion of interbeing seriously, then celebrating your achievements is no more self-centred than having compassion for your failings. We can’t really claim personal responsibility for our gifts and talents. They were born from our ancestral gene pool, the love and nurturing of our parents, the generosity of friends, the guidance of teachers, and the wisdom of our collective culture. A unique nexus of causes and conditions went into creating the ever-evolving person we are. Appreciation for our good qualities, then, is really an expression of gratitude for all that has shaped us as individuals and as a species. Self-appreciation humbly honours all of creation.” (Self-Compassion, Kristin Neff)

Whenever an ugly feeling arises in me, maybe resent, greed, insecurity, etc. I just have to laugh and think to myself, this is what being alive is and I don’t deny my capacity for ugliness, in fact I store my faith in it because that same awareness of my own ugliness is the place I go to when I am aware of my own beauty. I have all the time in the world to sort it out, that’s the thing with self trust. I don’t hide from others and I don’t hide from myself, where there is ugliness I observe it and I don’t turn away.
