Shireen and I became friends two or three months ago when I started to help her family and since then we're talking almost daily. She had a lot of problems setting up a campaign on GoFundMe and kissed a lot of doors from charity organizations which gave her no reply, even though she provided all the required documentation (she even sent me her father's passport photo so I don't doubt her honesty).

Because of those obstacles, her family in Gaza received very few donations and relies on humanitarian aid, which is extremely scarse on the north because of the inhumane siege. Her friends and I help as much as we can, but for a young man with Down syndrome, her father that has sepsis and her diabetic mother it's simply not enough.

That's why I'm sharing her campaign she managed to set on SpotFund recently.

Please join me in helping her family. ๐Ÿ™

If you can, share her family's story on your social media accounts as well.

Thank you for your time and generosity.

My condolences to all trans Americans because of the next four years. ๐Ÿซ‚

I saw your post on reddit. I promoted some campaigns for Gazans here, hope yours will gain attraction here since you personally posted it. ๐Ÿ™

My heart is devastated for what you are going through. I'm every day on call with my Gazan families I help to and I live your suffering with you, but no one can understand the complexity of horrors you're going through but you yourself. Watching videos and photos is not being there and I really hope more and more people will start to donate directly to families while this crime against Palestinian people continues. Because what you're going through is surreal apocalyptic horror and you need our support.

Save as much clothes as you can. What you can't take, give to people in need. I know there's no safe space in Gaza, but stay safe. I'm very worried about all of you. Oh, and if you have any medicine left in the house, take it.

I pray for you, even though I'm an atheist. I pray for this to end, every day. May Allah continue to watch over you, give you strength and courage. Stay safe, sister.

The rest of the readers: PLEASE, DONATE. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

I'm constantly pointing out that the main problem of the USA and civil war is that bad people have weapons and good ones think they don't need it. That's why I wish you don't go to civil war. Too many good people would die and USA would become true redneck fascist state. We need and want good Americans on the planet. Who will solve this shit if not USA? But yes, my friends, arm yourself, your neighbors have tons of guns.

 

Self explanatory. Who bombs people with such an artillery??!!!

 

Self explanatory. I had to cut it because of duration.

I don't know how to comfort you, this is beyond scary. And thank you for replying, it means a lot to get in touch with people who think and feel like I do. It's a small comfort in all of this, but still is.

[โ€“] Mantikora@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Do you have anyone you could talk to or know a local group that also cares about this like you do? They might be organizing protests or vigils.

I probably do, but knowing myself, I wouldn't be long in the group because I am kind of a loner. I chat a lot with people from other countries who are donating religiously like me, but we're all in sort of despair.

I mean, this really needs to stop. We are all affected by this. Fascism is raging and this needs to stop.

If I wasn't on lexapro, I would probably be in a hospital. This way I am able to function. People usually say they can't cry on lexapro. Well, go and watch online genocide and I guarantee you will cry your heart out. I've cried so much.

I really can't stand the fact that those people don't eat, don't sleep and have to see butchered loved ones every single day. The horrors they're facing every single day. Why is that allowed? Why our voices don't mean anything? Why their suffering doesn't matter shit to stupid governments? How is this possible?!

I do think that we all deserve a distraction sometimes and taking a break from reading the news sometimes can actually help us gain strength to fight harder (depends on the person I suppose).

I manage to distract myself, but it doesn't last. The thing is, I've connected to those two young people from Gaza and this became personal to me. It's not just "people are being genocided", it's "my friends are going through hell". I wonder how families abroad who have someone in Gaza feel if I am fucked up like this. But I've met Palestinians, they're incredibly patient and resilient and noble... They endure pain like it's natural to them and in a way it is, they're experiencing it for generations now. Jesus, it's all so fucked up...

Only my mother and my husband, but my husband is seeing me in this state is also afraid for me sometimes. People around me just don't care. My country sucks when empathy to non-white people concerns. Just yesterday my hairdresser said nonchalantly "oh, you still preoccupy with that". Yeah...

 

I know that everyone who follows this carnage in Gaza and wider is fucked up. I see it. So if you want to comfort me by saying I'm not alone, it won't work.

I can't take it anymore. I'm avoiding my shrink because she will gaslight me that I am doing this to myself alone. She'll tell me not to follow the news, not to interact with people online about this and such stuff. I never found the words to defend my support to Gaza to her. I won't stop watching. It's the least I can do. I don't want to turn my head and continue with my life. I don't understand how doesn't she get that. And I don't understand how people can not think about what's happening in Gaza.

Yeah, genocide is making me devastated and depressed and the only way I can feel better is if someone could end this carnage in the Middle East. But even after that, it's impossible to just forget and be happy like nothing happened. I will always carry this scar, I feel.

I also feel selfish for writing this. Because Gazans are the ones who suffer, I'm just depressed from what's happening to them, what are scum doing to them. I feel guilt for eating, for taking a cab to work, for buying skincare... I'm spending so much money on donations and even the fact I'm doing something to those people doesn't comfort me.

I'm trying to avoid the news. I just follow Gaza Now and watching what is fucking Pissrael doing to Gaza and wider. I can watch disfigured kids, but I can't read news, even from leftist outlets because I am sick and tired of talking and this is not ending. Just talk talk talk.

First thing I do when I wake up is checking if my friends from Gaza were online. That's indication if they're still alive. If they weren't online, my heart will sink until someone from them sends me a message and while I'm waiting, I'm trying to find out what happened.

I can't take it anymore. I'm constantly thinking about them and how the hell are they surviving this. My heart literally bleeds together with theirs. I want this to fucking end and I want my friends to live. I want their sufferings to finally end.

I hate everyone, I'm scared what's waiting for us and I can't believe that we're witnessing this.

I'm on 20mg of lexapro and it helps. But I am nevertheless so fucking depressed. Where's this planet going? Why did it have to be this way?

I'll die. I will literally die from sadnesses and hopelessness.

USA and Israel and all of your fucking allies, FUCK YOU. I hope something really bad will happen to you. You've destroyed all of our lives, but above everything, you genocide people in front of our eyes. Fuck you to hell, fucking monsters.

Those videos do look like a MK Ultra designed. Fake bullshit, created to make you stupid and convinced you have an enemy, while becoming someones.

Their bots on telegram are dm-ing fake videos of Hamas killing Palestinians, like, "they're animals, argh, see" and then you see the same person posting "Israel will fuck your mother and your children and I'm proud of it!". They're hitting on all the fronts.

I'm trying my best to spread the word, please, share it wherever you can.

[โ€“] Mantikora@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Probably because all the organizators are from first or second world countries. They provide their own bank accounts and then send the money accordingly to the agreement they have with the families.
