Jaafar only has $3,738 raised of a $20k goal! Jaafar is from and in North Gaza, and struggling to make ends meet (as is everyone in Gaza) with his very full family.
"Hello, my name is Jaafar from North Gaza. I previously created a GoFoundMe donation campaign, and when I got $2,400, they deleted the campaign without knowing the reason. Any amount you donate, even if it is small, will help buy flour and vegetables for my family. The price of everything we have is many times [from] its normal price. Please help save my family from starvation!"
"My name is Jaafar, a 24-year-old computer engineer from Gaza City. I graduated from the Faculty of Engineering in August 2023, just two months before the start of the war. I live with my parents and I am the oldest of nine siblings, the youngest of whom is only 2 years old. Five of them are in the north with me, and four of them are in the south with my married sister Suja (who also has her own young child.)"

These stories, including Alaa's, are all from Tumblr──but Palestinians that need help are everywhere, including in countries that refused to acknowledge that they are violently struggling.
Palestinian-Americans are harassed and sent death threats on the daily, and if they're not housed, they are under threat of unimaginable violence. In my country of Malaysia, the Palestinians that flee here for help are rejected and ignored by our government, despite our government being vehemently anti-Israel. They are often unhoused and unemployed due to the xenophobia of employers and landlords.
Help them out here, where elsewhere, they are left on their own.
