on the vetting process...


The families on this page are vetted by Molly Shah, and by me, in the fact that we have spoken to these families directly via BlueSky. What innocent Palestinian civilians are enduring is horrible, it is genocide. We must be brave enough to call out what we see in truth and do all we can to support those suffering, those most vulnerable. Why? Because in the future, everyone will have been against this.


We are focusing on five families that we have spoken to the most on BlueSky over the course of the last 2 years.

FAMILIES IN NEED OF DIRECT DONATIONS

Sahar & Odai

Odai is the young child of Sahar a young mother who is trying to survive the impossible with her family. Odai needs urgent surgery they cannot afford in Gaza, and must seek escaping through the border crossing (expensive) to seek care or raise enough funds for care in Gaza (very difficult with Israel's blockades.) Every donation to them is lifesaving. Odai has not been able to walk since being struck by a quad-copter that shot at him horrifically so.

Lubna, Rami, nasser, Eline & Kinda

Lubna (30) and her family are suffering in Gaza. Nasser (4) her son, needs special medical care for stunted growth. (6/4 Update: He is currently sick!) Her husband is Rami and her daughters are Eline (7) and Kinda (2). Supporting them helps them get across the border crossing, which costs a lot to pay for if open. In the meantime, they urgently need to buy food AND seek urgent medical care for Nasser who is experiencing malnutrition and is disabled in need of care.

Belal & Hoor

Hoor is the young daughter of Belal who is her father organizing the fundraiser for their very survival. They are trying to escape Gaza, and in the meantime, simply attempting to survive being in Gaza. They urgently need food, and Belal and Hoor are all alone in the terrifying situation, avoiding bombings every day.

Saed & his family

Saed (27) is trying to survive with his family in Gaza. They are a large family, and his mother Hanan (55) suffers from an eye disease that needs now incredibly expensive treatment due to the bombardment and war. The need for eye surgery is urgent. They lost their new home, university, and everything once the attacks started.

Eslam & her Family

Eslam (24) is so young and dealing with the onslaught of the genocide of Gazans while in Egypt doing all she can to help her family from abroad. They are trying to rebuild their lives, and affording to across the border into Egypt is costly for her family. Currently she is trying to simply feed them during the crisis from afar. Nobody deserves to endure this madness. Eslam is also a wonderful artist, like I am, so her story resonates with me deeply. Creative spirits - as all people are naturally - deserve freedom to express the self. Not bombardment from war.

  • Sign the Open Letter to BlueSky demanding they treat Palestinians better on BlueSky. We want them to STOP banning Palestinian accounts ferociously fast, deleting their entire accounts and some being completely IP banned for supposed "Spam" (god forbid they are trying to survive a genocide?) - this practice is anti-Palestinian racism in action. Please help us call it out as such
