DrRetro having an excellent time talking to someone over the phone over recent blessings in her life

Hey all! Normally when I post for Mona's community aid initiative, I post about the communities of refugees she is helping. But today I went to Instagram to update you all and saw that she hasn't posted since April, and we hadn't spoken since then either. She hadn't messaged me updates like she normally does. I was very afraid. It turned out she had broken her phone during a displacement, and she hasn't been able to replace it due to the high costs. Mobile phones are a scarce and expensive resource in Ghazzah but they are a lifeline for the families there. And for Mona it is not just a lifeline for her family but also for the refugee community she has dedicated the last few years of her life serving. She cannot connect with her usual network of volunteers or access funds without her phone (she had to contact me through her mother's phone). Despite helping displaced refugees, her and her family are also displaced refugees also living out of a tent, and she cannot currently afford a replacement. Please please please help her get a new one so she can continue doing the life-saving work she has been doing. Chuffed link to support Mona.
Every single dollar counts!!

Mayada, her husband Bilal, along with their 2 children are still trapped in Gaza fighting to keep each other alive under a Holocaust; caused by the genocidal occupation as well as foreign powers like the ‘u.s.’
The family used to have a barber shop (long destroyed by the occupation) along with peaceful lives.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Mayada and Bilal are loving parents and their kids are the sweetest and kindest 🥹🫂 they even took in a stray cat named Nana. Mayada just wants to reclaim life and hope for her loved ones.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Verification: The family is verified by collective @beesandwatermelons on Instagram (spreadsheet #93 as well as priority #17). The 🔗 are outdated but the vetting stands.
I am also a longtime volunteer of this collective as well as several of my friends who have also known Mayada for a long time and supported her through funds, fundraising, or campaign managing. We can vouch for her and her lovely family 🤍

F-ing Instagram has not only banned Mayada’s pages but they also won’t even allow her to pin her campaign 🔗 to her bio!
We still need you 🫂🚨❤️🩹
They’re facing eviction. Please help.

She had been running @animatedtext since 2012, with her impact on the internet SHAPING tumblr. If you have a years long history on this site, you’ve seen her art.
She ran a venue in Oakland called Oakland Secret, a punk venue where I’d vend at regularly as an artist. She made a safe space for queer artists, artists of color, and local furs too. I am forever grateful for her work both in the Bay Area creative scene and online, and am forever changed by the totality of her impact.
I’ll be linking some articles from the 2010’s about her impact online: The Fader | Action | Jezebel | ObviouslySocial

When a young child, not yet 5 years old, contracts smallpox after surviving the horrors of war, injustice, and hundreds of deadly nights, amidst the sounds of planes and tanks, this is not a passing or simple illness
ahmed-00-khalil
Imagine your child contracting this disease?! I'm writing this because my brother Ahmed was diagnosed with it on July 30, 2024, and his cries and suffering broke my heart. We searched every pharmacy and couldn't find any medication to ease his pain.
ahmed-00-khalil
And so a new chapter of suffering has begun, a suffering I don't want to become a habit. Some of the same pimples have started to reappear on my brother Ahmed's back, and I ask you to stand with us and donate. Instead of money coming in to buy food, we're now spending it on medicine and displacement expenses. Your donation, however small, is a candle in the darkness, especially after donations to our fundraising campaign completely stopped. Donate to us via PayPal or GFM
Vetted! shared by @/90-ghost (also here), #77 on @/gazavetters vetted list, shared by @/gaza-evacuation-funds, shared by @/el-shab-hussein!
I have been in regular contact with Mohammed for almost 2 years now. Please help him and his family!The money will reach him quicker if you can donate through Paypal, which is managed by my friend who regularly sends the donations to Mohammed.
