This Is Me Whenever I Have To Practice

Help Ameer and His Family Escape the Gaza War Zone

My name is Ameer Al-Hindawi, and I am a 21-year-old third-year engineering student at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. My family and I have been severely affected by the ongoing conflict. We have completely lost our home, and I have personally endured torture for nine days after the IDF soldiers arrested me for no reason as thousands of other civilians. The current situation in Gaza has not only disrupted my education but has also placed my family and me in constant danger.

Our Struggle:

Since October 7, 2023, the relentless bombings have made Gaza incredibly unsafe. We have moved multiple times in search of safety, but it seems there is no safe place left in the Gaza Strip. This war is unlike any other we have experienced, and the devastation is overwhelming. I am deeply concerned about my education and the well-being of my family.

Our Need:

To escape this dire situation, we need to leave Gaza through the Rafah crossing, the border between Gaza and Egypt. However, crossing this border requires a paid permit, and the coordinators in Egypt demand 5,000 USD per person to add our names to the transit list. We are a family of seven, which means we need a total of 35,000 USD.

Fundraising Goal:

We hope to raise 65,000 CAD. Your generous contributions will be allocated as follows:

35,000 USD (approx. 49,000 CAD) for the permits to cross the Rafah border for seven family members.

7,000 CAD for temporary housing, resettlement expenses, clothes, urgent healthcare, and other humanitarian needs in Egypt.

And 7,000 CAD for my continued education.

How You Can Help:

Your support can make a significant difference in our lives. Even small contributions will greatly alleviate our suffering and help us find safety. Please consider sharing our campaign with your network to help us reach our goal as quickly as possible. Every moment in Gaza is fraught with danger, and your assistance can provide us with the hope and opportunity to rebuild our lives.

Conclusion:

Thank you for standing in solidarity with us and making a positive impact on our lives after being affected by this devastating conflict. Your compassion and generosity are greatly appreciated during this difficult time.

Thank you for your support,

Ameer Al-Hindawi

Hey

I know there are many, many things happening in the world right now and there is only so much time, energy and money people can invest in social justice but with the advance of fascism in Europe - 84 fascists from 12 different countries were elected to the European Parliament this year - and with the news of a 15yo Romani teenager dying during a police confrontation in England last week, I have compiled a list of different human rights organizations dedicated to helping Romani people in Europe.

Please donate if you can!

tumblr just deleted a huge swathe of palestinians who were on here trying to fundraise. if you've been helping any of these fundraisers please take this time to 1) check in with palestinians you're in contact with 2) help them submit support requests if needed 3) keep these campaigns circulating while the beneficiaries are being silenced. these campaigns are life or death, this isn't just social networking. do not let these fundraisers languish.
