Getting Siraj & His Family to 40k+ By this Weekend!!
hi again everyone, i am writing to you all again in hopes you will donate to @siraj2024's campaign to rebuild his family's home. Siraj is a Gazan journalist and a father who wants nothing more than to give his family safety again.
every single day, we read and watch videos of new horrors in Gaza. Siraj and his family are not watching these things happen on screens thousands of miles away, they are living in the thick of it, trying to survive. and now two of his children are sick, all the while still taking the 3 km walk to get internet and to tell the world about his family and their right to life.
i want to quote Siraj:
With every book you read, there are true stories written in blood. Does this mean anything to you? Why are am I telling you that? I don't know. But dear friend said to me one day: "Write, Siraj. Don't stop. Write so that Siraj can rest. Write for Siraj."
i am a writer, someone who tells stories just like my friend Siraj. and i want him and his family to have safety, security in life and the ability to live life again, not just try to survive. if i do not help my fellow writer, my friend and man like Siraj, i am nothing to my word.
while we have reached short-term goals before and that is wonderful, we have to keep this energy and reach our next temporary goal: 40,000 by this weekend! the long-term goal is 82,000 to rebuild his home for himself and his family. please do anything in your power to help him and his family by donating, reblogging & sharing this campaign wherever you can.
i want to thank you all for what you've done so far, but we have to continue. for Siraj and his family and everyone who seeks to build a better life again. this is a community effort! (as a reminder, he & his family are #219 on the vetted gaza fundraiser list)
the fundraiser is currently at $34,207. now let's get Siraj to 40,000k!!

For those who have not experienced displacement...
When we are displaced from our home or from our tent, our features change, our faces wander, and we no longer even recognize ourselves.
Everything becomes different, everything is painful, everything is deadly. As soon as we start collecting what we need, forgetting begins to cover what we need, so we forget all our needs.
What makes us forget!? Fear!? Maybe...or the things that remain ignite forgetfulness in our minds.
We go out and see places crying for us: the sidewalks, the shops, the shade trees, everything tells us...Where are you going?
We now lack the most basic necessities of life. My children do not have clothes and they wear torn clothes, their shoes are worn out and they cannot walk in them, and I cannot buy for them because of the exorbitant high prices.
We are heading towards the fifth goal of 50k until Thursday, and this requires your support in order to strengthen the steadfastness of the Siraj family to survive, as part of the campaign expenses will go to purchasing the needs of the children of the Siraj family.
Support, share, like

It is a sadness of strength, my friend, not a sadness of weakness, so do not worry about me. The kind of sadness that becomes a mountain. Sadness becomes a thousand books and a revolution.
It never leads its owner to fall.
Sadness of the Palestinian kind..
My friends, today I am struggling to reach the fourth goal of 40k by next Sunday, so I ask for your support and interest.
