Maha’s Palestinian Journal

Emergency

Maha’s Palestinian Journal
Children in Gaza are living through unimaginable hardship. Many have lost their homes, access to food, clean water, and basic medical care. Children who should be in school or playing safely are instead facing hunger, displacement, injury, and deep psychological trauma. Some are orphaned, others are caring for sick or wounded family members, and many are simply struggling to survive each day in conditions no child should ever endure. This campaign supports Maha’s Palestinian Journal, a living chronicle of life in Gaza over the past two years under bombardment, siege, displacement, and now deliberate starvation. The journal is an act of bearing witness, preserving memory, and telling the truth of what it means to live through the ongoing destruction of Palestine. At a time when Palestinian voices are routinely silenced, removed, or erased, this work exists to ensure that these experiences are recorded and shared with the world. While the journal remains the central focus, this effort is also guided by a deep sense of responsibility to help wherever possible. As the work continues, every effort will be made to support children and families facing urgent humanitarian needs, including access to food, basic medical care, shelter, and essential supplies, through trusted local relief efforts and humanitarian channels providing direct assistance on the ground. Children in Gaza are currently living through a severe humanitarian crisis. Families have been displaced multiple times, leaving them without stable shelter. Food shortages have made daily meals uncertain, and access to medical care is extremely limited, particularly for injured children, children with disabilities, and those suffering from malnutrition. No child should be left hungry, injured, or without hope, and no people should be forced into silence while this unfolds. Funds raised through this campaign will help sustain the continuation and publication of Maha’s Palestinian Journal while also allowing support, as much as possible, for humanitarian relief efforts during this critical time. Every contribution helps protect this testimony, support survival, and remind those enduring this crisis that they are not forgotten. Please consider supporting this campaign for Maha’s Palestinian Journal. At this time, the situation is extremely precarious, and support of any kind makes a meaningful difference. If you are unable to contribute, sharing this campaign is also a powerful act of solidarity. With thanks and sincere appreciation.

Help Kazem survive from the genocide in Gaza

Emergency

Help Kazem survive from the genocide in Gaza
My name is Kazem Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush, and I’m a 12-year-old boy from Gaza City, Palestine. I am fundraising for my immediate and extended family, who have lost everything in the ongoing war. We used to live a quiet and hopeful life. I was studying at the British International School in Gaza, and I dreamed of continuing my education in the UK. But on October 7, 2023, everything changed. The war destroyed our home, our school, our shops—and our future. Who We Are I live with my father, Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush, my mother, and my two younger siblings. My sister, who is still a baby, was severely burned in an airstrike. After three surgeries and 20 days in intensive care, she still needs urgent care abroad, but the siege prevents us from leaving. She is in pain every day. My father was once supported by his late father, Kazem Dughmush, a respected businessman. Together, they managed family businesses that supported 19 families—all of whom are now displaced and suffering. We come from a large extended family: 16 brothers and their families, and our grandmother. All of us are now without homes, jobs, food, or medicine. Why We Are Fundraising We are raising funds to: • Treat my baby sister's burns and help evacuate her to a country where she can get full medical care • Buy food, water, medicine, and clothing for our family and extended relatives • Support 16 families (mostly children and women) who lost everything due to bombings • Rebuild a minimal, dignified life away from the ruins and ashes How the Funds Will Be Used All funds will go directly to Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush, my father and our family’s caretaker, who is currently in northern Gaza. He will distribute the funds to: • Pay for medical treatment and applications for medical evacuation • Purchase emergency food and clean water from the limited local sources • Provide clothing and hygiene items for the children in the family • Rent or shelter space if available, outside the severely affected northern areas We will maintain receipts, records, and updates to ensure full transparency for every dollar spent. If we are able to travel, we will also use part of the funds to relocate safely and seek treatment for my sister. Our Current Reality We have lost more than 200 relatives, including my 7-month-old cousin, who died from white phosphorous burns. We sleep in tents or destroyed buildings, eating animal feed just to stay alive. There is no school, no future, and no safety here. Please, if you can help us, we will never forget it. Final Note We are not raising funds for any political or armed effort—only for humanitarian survival. Your donation will save lives, bring medical hope to my sister, and help children like me dream again. If you cannot donate, please share this story. Help the world hear our voice. With gratitude, Kazem Abd El Karim Kazem Dughmush 12 years old – Gaza City, Palestine Raising funds for the Dughmush family and 16 extended families.

A Lawyer Who Lost Everything but His Humanity

Emergency

A Lawyer Who Lost Everything but His Humanity
Mahmoud’s Story: A Lawyer Who Lost Everything but His Humanity My name is Mahmoud Afana. I am a Palestinian lawyer from Rafah in the Gaza Strip. For more than ten years, I have dedicated my life to defending rights, empowering the vulnerable, and advocating for justice in courts and communities. I have worked on humanitarian and legal projects with both local and international organizations, and I have been part of efforts to protect marginalized groups such as women, children, and displaced persons. But in the recent war, I lost everything. My home was completely destroyed by airstrikes. My law office—the only source of income I had—was reduced to rubble. All means of work and livelihood came to a halt. I was forced to flee to the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis, where there is no shelter, no electricity, no clean water, and none of the basic necessities of life. I now live without a home, without an income, and without the resources to support myself and my family or start again. Despite it all, I have not stopped contributing in any way I can. I’ve participated in legal support projects for displaced people, conducted free legal awareness workshops, and continued to raise the voices of those who have none amid the destruction. But today, I need someone to stand with me—just as I have stood with others for years. I am asking for your support to help me rebuild my life. Your support today is not just for me, but an investment in someone who has always helped others and wants to continue doing so—despite having lost everything. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference.

12,000 People, $30 Each! A second chance at life!

Emergency

12,000 People, $30 Each! A second chance at life!
12,000 People, $30 Each. My Story: Six years ago, my life took an unexpected turn when I lost my long-term employment without warning. This sudden loss of income created significant financial hardship. Despite my best efforts to find stable work quickly, I faced challenges securing a position that could cover essential living expenses. To manage basic needs like housing, utilities, and food during this extended period of underemployment, I had to rely on credit and loans. Unfortunately, this resulted in accumulating substantial debt over time. This debt wasn't incurred through irresponsible spending, but rather through the necessity of covering fundamental living costs while actively seeking sustainable employment. The Situation Now: While I have consistently worked small part time gigs (writing resumes, part time barista, ushering events), and significantly reduced my expenses, the weight of the accumulated debt, including interest, remains a major obstacle to regaining financial stability. The total amount needed to resolve this situation is $360,000. This amount covers debt from friends, loan repayment, essential bills, rent/housing costs. Facing this challenge has been incredibly difficult, but I am determined to move forward. Resolving this debt is a critical step towards rebuilding my life, securing stable housing, and focusing on a sustainable future. Why I Need Your Support: I’m asking 12,000 people to give just ❤️ $30 each. I have explored every available option, including bank loan restructuring, rent deferment and repayment through installments, selling personal belongings, but I haven't been able to overcome this financial hurdle as there was no steady income coming in. This campaign represents my effort to regain control of my financial situation and prevent further hardships, like being evicted from my home, losing my credit score and how this will impact on my future employment prospects. Your support would provide the crucial assistance needed to clear this debt and allow me to focus on building a stable foundation. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference. • A donation of $30 help covers daily essentials without relying on further credit. • A donation of $100 contributes directly to reducing the principal debt amount. • Reaching the goal of $360,000 would allow me to fully resolve these outstanding obligations and start fresh. How You Can Help: 1. Donate: Any amount you can contribute brings me closer to financial stability. Thank you for considering a donation. 2. Share: Sharing this campaign with your network can significantly increase its reach. Please consider sharing it with others who might be willing to help. 3. Encourage: Kind words and encouragement mean a lot during challenging times. My Commitment: This situation has been humbling, and asking for help is not easy. I am committed to overcoming this challenge and rebuilding my life. Your support offers more than just financial relief; it provides hope and a chance to move forward positively. I am deeply grateful for any support you can offer. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering my request. ________________________________________ 3 Mois, 12 000 Personnes, 30 $ Chacun ! Aidez-moi à redémarrer ma vie! Mon histoire : Il y a six ans, ma vie a pris un tournant inattendu lorsque j'ai perdu mon emploi à long terme sans avertissement. Cette perte soudaine de revenus a créé d'importantes difficultés financières. Malgré mes efforts pour trouver rapidement un travail stable, j'ai rencontré des difficultés à obtenir un poste qui puisse couvrir les dépenses essentielles de la vie quotidienne. Pour gérer des besoins de base tels que le logement, les services publics et la nourriture pendant cette période prolongée de sous-emploi, j'ai dû recourir au crédit et aux prêts. Malheureusement, cela a entraîné une accumulation importante de dettes au fil du temps. Ces dettes n'ont pas été contractées par des dépenses irresponsables, mais plutôt par la nécessité de couvrir les coûts de la vie de base tout en cherchant activement un emploi stable. La situation actuelle : Bien que j'aie constamment travaillé à temps partiel (rédaction de CV, barista à temps partiel, accompagnement d'événements), et réduit considérablement mes dépenses, le poids des dettes accumulées, y compris les intérêts, reste un obstacle majeur à la stabilité financière. Le montant total nécessaire pour résoudre cette situation est de 360 000 $. Ce montant couvre les dettes envers des amis, le remboursement de prêts, les factures essentielles, ainsi que le loyer et les frais de logement. Faire face à ce défi a été extrêmement difficile, mais je suis déterminé à aller de l'avant. Résoudre cette dette est une étape cruciale pour reconstruire ma vie, sécuriser un logement stable et me concentrer sur un avenir durable. Pourquoi j'ai besoin de votre soutien : Je demande à 12 000 personnes de donner seulement ❤️ 30 $ chacune. J'ai exploré toutes les options disponibles, y compris la restructuration des prêts bancaires, le report du loyer et le remboursement par versements, la vente de biens personnels, mais je n'ai pas pu surmonter cet obstacle financier car il n'y avait pas de revenu stable. Cette campagne représente mes efforts pour reprendre le contrôle de ma situation financière et éviter d'autres difficultés, comme l'expulsion de mon logement, la perte de ma cote de crédit et l'impact sur mes perspectives d'emploi futures. Votre soutien offrirait l'aide cruciale nécessaire pour éliminer cette dette et me permettre de me concentrer sur la construction d'une base stable. Chaque contribution, quelle que soit sa taille, fait une différence tangible. • Un don de 30 $ permet de couvrir les besoins quotidiens sans recourir davantage au crédit. • Un don de 100 $ contribue directement à réduire le montant principal de la dette. • Atteindre l'objectif de 360,000 $ me permettrait de résoudre entièrement ces obligations et de repartir à zéro. Comment vous pouvez aider : 1. Faites un don : Toute somme que vous pouvez contribuer me rapproche de la stabilité financière. Merci de considérer un don. 2. Partagez : Partager cette campagne avec votre réseau peut considérablement augmenter sa portée. Merci de la partager avec ceux qui pourraient être disposés à aider. 3. Encouragez : Des mots gentils et des encouragements comptent beaucoup pendant les moments difficiles. Mon engagement : Cette situation a été humiliante, et demander de l'aide n'est pas facile. Je suis déterminé à surmonter ce défi et à reconstruire ma vie. Votre soutien offre plus qu'un soulagement financier; il offre de l'espoir et une chance d'avancer positivement. Je suis profondément reconnaissant pour tout le soutien que vous pouvez m'apporter. Merci d'avoir pris le temps de lire mon histoire et d'envisager ma demande. ________________________________________ 3 أشهر، 12,000 شخص، 30$ لكل شخص! ساعدني في إعادة بناء حياتي! قصتي: قبل ست سنوات، أخذت حياتي منعطفًا غير متوقع عندما فقدت عملي طويل الأمد دون تحذير. هذا الفقد المفاجئ للدخل خلق صعوبات مالية كبيرة. على الرغم من جهودي الكبيرة في البحث عن عمل ثابت بسرعة، واجهت صعوبة في العثور على وظيفة قادرة على تغطية النفقات الأساسية للعيش. لإدارة احتياجاتي الأساسية مثل السكن، والمرافق، والطعام خلال هذه الفترة الطويلة من العمل الجزئي، اضطررت للاعتماد على الائتمان والقروض. للأسف، أدى ذلك إلى تراكم ديون كبيرة مع مرور الوقت. لم يتم تكبد هذه الديون من خلال الإنفاق غير المسؤول، بل من خلال ضرورة تغطية التكاليف الأساسية أثناء البحث النشط عن عمل مستدام. الحالة الحالية: على الرغم من أنني عملت باستمرار في وظائف جزئية (كتابة السير الذاتية، والعمل المؤقت في المقهى، ومرافقة الفعاليات)، وقمت بتقليل نفقاتي بشكل كبير، إلا أن عبء الديون المتراكمة، بما في ذلك الفوائد، ما زال يشكل عقبة كبيرة أمام استعادة الاستقرار المالي. المبلغ الإجمالي اللازم لحل هذه الوضعية هو 360,000 دولار. هذا المبلغ يشمل ديوني لأصدقائي، سداد القروض، الفواتير الأساسية، بالإضافة إلى تكاليف الإيجار/السكن. مواجهة هذا التحدي كانت صعبة للغاية، لكنني مصممة على المضي قدمًا. حل هذه الديون هو خطوة حاسمة لإعادة بناء حياتي، وتأمين سكن مستقر، والتركيز على مستقبل مستدام. لماذا أحتاج إلى دعمكم: أطلب من 12,000 شخص أن يتبرعوا بمبلغ 30$ ❤️فقط لكل شخص. لقد استكشفت جميع الخيارات المتاحة، بما في ذلك إعادة هيكلة القروض البنكية، وتأجيل الإيجار وسداد المدفوعات على أقساط، وبيع ممتلكاتي الشخصية، لكنني لم أتمكن من التغلب على هذه العقبة المالية لأنه لم يكن هناك دخل ثابت. تمثل هذه الحملة جهودي لاستعادة السيطرة على وضعي المالي ومنع المزيد من الصعوبات، مثل طردي من منزلي، وفقدان تصنيفي الائتماني وكيف سيؤثر ذلك على فرصي في الحصول على وظيفة في المستقبل. دعمكم سيوفر المساعدة الحيوية اللازمة لسداد هذه الديون وسيسمح لي بالتركيز على بناء أساس مستقر. كل مساهمة، مهما كانت صغيرة، تحدث فرقًا ملموسًا. • تبرع بمبلغ 30$ يساعد في تغطية الاحتياجات اليومية دون الاعتماد على المزيد من الائتمان. • تبرع بمبلغ 100$ يساهم بشكل مباشر في تقليص مبلغ الدين الأساسي. • الوصول إلى الهدف البالغ 360,000 دولار سيمكنني من حل هذه الالتزامات بالكامل والبدء من جديد. كيف يمكنك المساعدة: 1. تبرع: أي مبلغ يمكنك التبرع به يقربني من الاستقرار المالي. شكرًا لك على النظر في التبرع. 2. شارك: مشاركة هذه الحملة مع شبكتك يمكن أن يزيد من نطاقها بشكل كبير. من فضلك، شاركها مع الآخرين الذين قد يكونون مستعدين للمساعدة. 3. شجع: الكلمات الطيبة والتشجيع تعني الكثير في الأوقات الصعبة. إلتزامي: لقد كانت هذه التجربة متواضعة، وطلب المساعدة ليس سهلاً. أنا ملتزمة بتجاوز هذا التحدي وإعادة بناء حياتي. دعمكم يقدم أكثر من مجرد تخفيف مالي؛ إنه يمنح الأمل وفرصة للتقدم بشكل إيجابي. أنا ممتنة للغاية لأي دعم يمكن أن تقدموه. شكرًا لكم على تخصيص الوقت لقراءة قصتي وعلى النظر في طلبي.
