<div>Goal: Raise $50,000 for a New Life in Egypt
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello, I am Ahmed Al-Hallaq,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am reaching out from Gaza, a place that has been both my home and a source of significant challenges. Today, I am seeking your support to embark on a journey to a safer and more stable future in Egypt. While I am the one initiating this campaign, my trusted friend Yousri Al-Madhoun will be receiving the funds to assist in managing the logistics of our relocation and ensuring that your contributions are utilized effectively for our transition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Story:
</div>
<div>Life in Gaza has tested my resilience and that of my family. Following the loss of my job and the damage to our home, it has become imperative for us to seek a new beginning. Egypt offers us a beacon of hope, a chance for safety, and a promise of a brighter future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How Your Donations Will Help:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Migration Expenses: All funds will go towards the legal and procedural expenses required for our relocation to Egypt.
</div>
<div>Travel and Initial Accommodation: The donations will cover our travel costs and provide temporary housing until we find a permanent home.
</div>
<div>Establishing Our New Life: Your support will aid us in setting up in Egypt, ensuring we have the essentials during our initial phase.
</div>
<div>My Appeal to You:
</div>
<div>I humbly ask for your support in this pivotal moment of our lives. My friend Yousri Al-Madhoun will be managing the funds to ensure they are used precisely for our relocation and initial settlement. Your generosity can help us achieve the stability and security we yearn for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am immensely grateful for any support you can offer. Together, with your help, we can look forward to a future filled with peace and opportunity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With sincere thanks,
</div>

Ahmed's Hope: Aiding a New Start in Egypt

<p>Update: Kim has recently been diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a rare, devastating, and rapidly progressive brain disease. CJD affects approximately one person per million each year and causes a rapid decline in brain function.
</p><br />
<p>This disease can lead to severe confusion, memory loss, changes in behavior and personality, difficulty walking and maintaining balance, vision problems, and the loss of the ability to perform everyday tasks independently. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure or effective treatment for CJD, and the disease progresses very quickly.
</p><br />
<p>As Kim's condition advances, our family is focused on ensuring she receives the comfort, care, and support she needs while cherishing every precious moment together. The emotional and financial burden of this diagnosis is overwhelming, and we are asking for help to assist with medical expenses, caregiving needs, hospice care, and allowing our family to spend as much meaningful time with Kim as possible.
</p><br /><br />
<p>6/28:Our family is walking through an incredibly difficult and uncertain time, and we’re asking for help. Our mom, Kim Wilson, is currently receiving care at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center as doctors work to determine what is causing her sudden and serious health decline. She has been experiencing ataxia, significant vision issues, dizziness, confusion, and severe imbalance, making even simple daily tasks extremely difficult. Watching someone you love struggle with symptoms that affect their ability to walk, see clearly, and think clearly is heartbreaking. Right now, we are facing more questions than answers, and the uncertainty has been overwhelming. 
</p><br />
<p>As we focus on getting Kim the care she needs, the financial burden continues to grow. Between hospital stays, testing, specialist visits, medical bills, transportation, hotel stays, and time away from work to provide care, the expenses are adding up quickly. We are creating this fundraiser to help ease some of that burden so we can focus on supporting Kim and advocating for answers and treatment. 
</p><br />
<p>Any donation big or small would mean so much to our family. If you’re unable to donate, we would be so grateful for your prayers and for sharing this fundraiser. Please reach out to Mackenzie or Sierra, please avoid reaching out to mom so she is able to rest as much as possible right now. 
</p>
<p>Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this difficult season. 
</p>

<div>Before the war, I had just graduated from dental school. My family believed our future was finally beginning. None of us imagined that within months, we would lose our home and be forced to live in a tent.
</div>
<div>I never imagined that survival would become my full-time job instead.
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80608945_1783154933178401_r.png" width="100%" />
<div>My family was proud of everything we had achieved together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My father worked as a medical radiographer, helping patients every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mother cared for our family despite living with heart disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My younger brother dreamed of studying medicine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My little sister Meera filled our home with laughter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We weren’t rich, but we had everything that truly mattered: a home, hope, and dreams for the future
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80608945_1783155002304205_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then everything changed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our home was destroyed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The place where we celebrated birthdays, shared meals, studied, laughed, and built memories became nothing but rubble.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In one moment, we lost everything we had spent our lives building.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like thousands of other families, we were forced to flee.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We could only carry what our hands could hold.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everything else stayed behind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every displacement meant starting over again with almost nothing.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everything my family owned was reduced to a few mattresses, blankets, and bags loaded onto a truck.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That truck carried what remained of our old life.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, my family of six lives in a small nylon tent in northern Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This tent has become our home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It offers little protection from the heat of summer or the cold and rain of winter.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When it rains, water floods the camp.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The ground turns into mud.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Simple things that most people never think about—sleeping, cooking, staying dry, finding clean water—become daily challenges.

</div>
<div>My little sister Mira is only ten years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Instead of going to school every morning, she has spent her childhood living through displacement and uncertainty.

</div>
<div>Despite everything, she still smiles.

We Are Not Numbers. My family Deserve a Chance to Live

<div><em>A call for support for the International Solidarity Movement to continue our work on the ground in Palestine and worldwide.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who are we?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) is a Palestinian-led movement committed to resisting the long-entrenched and systematic oppression and dispossession of the Palestinian population, using non-violent, direct-action methods and principles. Founded in August 2001, ISM aims to support and strengthen the Palestinian popular resistance by working immediately alongside Palestinians in olive groves, on school runs, at demonstrations, within villages being attacked, by houses being demolished or where Palestinians are subject to consistent harassment or attacks from soldiers and settlers as well as numerous other situations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All ISM volunteers must agree to work within the four founding principles, the details of which can be found on <a href="https://palsolidarity.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">our website</a> :
</div>
<ul>
<li>Palestinian-led
</li>
<li>Nonviolence
</li>
<li>Consensus
</li>
<li>Anti-oppression
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What do we do?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ISM’s main objectives in offering support to the Palestinian resistance to the apartheid and their demand for freedom are twofold:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. DIRECT ACTION: participating in Palestinian-led demonstrations, creatively disrupting activity by the Israeli occupation forces, accompanying children to school and farmers to their fields, residing with or near families whose homes are threatened with eviction, demolition or harassment by settlers and answering Palestinian calls to action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2. DOCUMENTATION: documenting and reporting to local and international media about the daily life under apartheid and countless human rights and international law violations by the Israeli military and settlers. Activists take photos, write reports and journals, which are shared on our website and social media. The need for documentation is not just to show that there are illegal and unjust actions going on, but also to provide a real means of evidence for accountability to the police and courts, case by case. ISMers are also committed to sharing their experiences when they return to their home countries, through interviews and talks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why now?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since Israel began its current onslaught on Gaza in October 2023, occupation forces have been taking advantage of the state of emergency to escalate their violence and displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank. Soldiers and settlers have systematically bulldozed homes, carried out night raids, attacked and killed Palestinians across the region.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is almost no international media coverage on the ground in the West Bank because of the situation in Gaza, and many human rights organisations have had to leave the area. ISM activists on the ground continue their vital work in solidarity with Palestinians, reporting their eyewitness accounts of the daily atrocities committed by Israeli soldiers and settlers, amplifying the voices of Palestinians and answering local Palestinian-led calls to action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a resident of Masafer Yatta told an ISM volunteer, “What is happening is unlike anything before; nobody can predict what tomorrow may bring. There seem to be no openings for hope or a clear vision of tomorrow at this time… The people endure immense suffering, despite limited media coverage of these distressing events. It begs the question: How much longer must Palestinians endure before the world takes notice and acts?”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are committed now, as ever, to standing in solidarity with Palestinians throughout occupied Palestine and listening to their requests, whether this is being a protective presence, bearing witness to the crimes of the occupation and recording breaches of human rights, or participating in direct action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What will the money be used for?</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Renting an apartment for use by ISM volunteers
</li>
<li>Contributing towards travel, phone and other expenses for Palestinian ISM organisers
</li>
<li>Creating a solidarity pot to enable international ISMers to remain in Palestine for longer periods of time and have a constant presence in the West Bank
</li>
</ul>

<div>Hello, friends, family, and compassionate supporters. My name is Farris, and I am reaching out to you today with a plea to help my friend Younes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Younes is a young refugee in Gaza who is working hard to pursue his dream of becoming a dentist. Despite the immense challenges around him, he remains committed to continuing his education and building a better future.
</div>
<div>Today, even basic necessities such as food, safe shelter, and clothing can be extremely difficult to obtain in Gaza. Younes is facing these daily challenges while also trying to continue his dental studies, including covering tuition, supplies, transportation, and other educational expenses.
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help Younes meet his basic needs and continue his education during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference.
</div>
<div>If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this campaign. Your support can help Younes stay safe, continue his education, and hold on to hope for a better future.
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with Younes.

<div>There is a family of my relatives, consisting of six children and their parents, who were displaced from the northern Gaza area to Rafah after their house was destroyed due to the war between Hamas and Israel. They have no shelter, food, or drink, as happened with other Gazans at the Rafah crossing. They tried to cross into Egypt. But in order to enter Egypt, a large sum of money is required from them, and for this reason I collecting these donations

<div><strong>*UPDATE MESSAGE* 7/30/2024- Thank you all for your continued support as we pursue justice for Sonya Massey. Your contributions have been instrumental in our fight and will help us all heal after this tragedy. The work is far from over though, and we hope that you will continue to say Sonya’s name and keep her legacy alive!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is the official GoFundMe established in Sonya Massey’s honor to help provide Sonya’s family with financial support during this difficult time.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On July 6, 2024, 36-year-old Sonya Massey was taken away from her family. Officers responded to Sonya’s 911 call for a prowler in her backyard, and shortly thereafter shot her in the face and killed her after she said, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus." In mere moments, Sonya’s family lost a mother, a daughter and sister.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sonya is remembered as caring and loving mother to her two children, a 17-year-old son and a 15-year-old daughter. Sonya loved cooking, doing hair, nurturing her children, and spending time with her family. She was also a devoted church member.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The outpouring of love and support has been tremendous, but our family needs financial support as we fight for justice. Our family will likely need mental health counseling and support, money for travel costs and money for household support as we miss work to pursue justice for Sonya Massey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe was started by me, James Wilburn, the father of Sonya Massey, and Raymond Massey, the brother of Sonya’s mother, Donna Massey.

Support Tad's Family Rebuild After Tragedy

Virginia still relies heavily on a system of money bail. Because bail amounts are often out of reach, many people who are arrested but not convicted of a crime are either forced to go through for-profit bail bondsmen (a practice that is illegal in almost every other country) or sit in jail as they await trial. <br /><br />A bail fund does not solve the deep-rooted problems of the criminal legal system, but it can help to ensure that those who have not been convicted of a crime do not sit in jail for months as they await trial simply because they lack the resources needed to post bail. <br /><br />Because there is currently no revolving criminal bail fund in the area, we are setting one up to help those being held in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, the Middle River Regional Jail, the Central Virginia Regional Jail, as well as those facing charges in Nelson County, Staunton City, and the greater Shenandoah Valley. Before we can begin to take tax-deductible charitable donations, we need to file as a Virginia non-stock corporation and as a non-profit with the IRS. These filings will cost $775 in total. Any money we raise above this amount will go directly to bailing people out of Virginia jails. Unfortunately, no donations will be tax deductible at this time.<br /><br />Please help us raise this money so that we can begin bailing out those in the area as soon as possible. Any and all donations will make a difference.

Blue Ridge Community Bail Fund

<div><strong>Join us in providing financial support to those facing unfathomable grief due to the Israeli siege on Gaza.</strong> Palestinian members of our community are currently processing the deaths of countless family members overseas. The Palestinian community at Columbia is overwhelmingly first generation and low income, and several members are struggling to continue to work jobs while dealing with unimaginable grief. We have received requests for aid in paying rent, groceries, and other bills during this challenging time.

</div>
<div>In addition to this, visibly Muslim and Arab community members are disproportionately dealing with harassment, death threats, and doxxing and have requested aid to navigate legal support. 
</div>

</div>
<div>Students are tirelessly working, organizing, and mobilizing to keep the movement alive at Columbia and across New York City often at the expense of their well-being. Join us in providing them financial support as they continue to work jobs, attend school, and care for themselves amidst this crisis.

Grieving CU Community Members Need Your Support

<div>


<div>We welcomed our adoring baby nephew on December 20, 2021. But less than 2 months after he entered the world, the doctor discovered a 2.1 cm tumor on his liver. The doctor in Guam is now urgently insisting that Cohen visits the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles for further evaluation and treatment.  

</div>


<div> 

</div>


<div>Cohen Reyes, currently living in Guam, is our youngest and sweet little nephew that brings so much love and joy to our family. The sudden and unexpected news of this discovery has left us all devastated. Even with all of our supports, Cohen’s parents are struggling to cover not only the medical bills but also the traveling cost of flying their little one to LA for his much needed treatment. 

</div>


<div> 

</div>


<div>The $15,000 target will help towards Cohen’s medical and travel expenses. 

</div>


<div> 

</div>


<div>We love Cohen so much and want to see him live a happy and healthy life with our family. So, we kindly and humbly ask you to open your heart and make any small contributions to help give Cohen a fighting chance at this terrible discovery. Any donation and prayers are desperately needed during this difficult time. 

</div>


<div> 

</div>


<div>We thank you all so much in advance in supporting our beautiful, strong, little Cohen.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/63251509_1644548891393391_r.jpg" alt="63251509_1644548891393391_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" />

Support the Medical Emergency for Cohen Reyes

This past Saturday June 22nd, my sister Jada Louis passed away. It was unexpected and, honestly, I'm still shaking in disbelief even as I type this out. At only 24, everyone thought she had more time. She was recently hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis but was released after 10 days with her blood sugars stabilized and a plan of care in action. I learned that she hadn't been able to afford her insulin, so she hadn't been taking it for a few weeks prior to the hospital stay. Having no insurance , she felt she didn't have any other choice. Money was a thing we would address later, we were just happy she made it through such a physically and mentally taxing ordeal. She was finally home and we thought she was doing better.  But my sister would die a little over a week after finally being back home. Our family has been shaken to its very core by her passing. We are doing our best to stay strong long enough to plan her funeral, but we could use all the help we can get. Please help us give my sister a burial worthy of how special she was to all of us.

I will be taking these funds and giving them to my grandmother, who is helping to coordinate the funeral.
