Please Pay Attention, Dont Scroll Away

Hey guys, Bilal ( @bilal-salah0 ) reached out to me recently to share his story with you guys so take a moment to read through this

Please pay attention, dont scroll away

Bilal Salah is a 22 year old who left his beloved city behind and moved to Germany a few months before to better support his family financially and to achieve his hopes and dreams away from the violence at home.

But since the genocide began and with no permanent ceasefire in sight, he has been living in constant fear over the safety of his family of 18 members that he had to leave behind in Gaza. He has been tirelessly fundraising to evacuate them to safety since.

During the past few months his family has faced a lot of difficulties. They have been constantly displaced time and time again, fleeing from the bombardment by the IOF ever since the family home, that had just finished construction right before last october, had been demolished.

I cannot even imagine how difficult every shift must have been with 8 children to care for, including 3 newborn babies.

They are now living in a tent in a refugee camp in Rafah city where basic amenities are denied to them.

In his own words:

They have to strive and risk their lives every day to provide the bare minimum of food and water for everyone, and even that is not always available. Due to the siege imposed on Gaza the markets are almost entirely empty, prices are rocketing, and little to no humanitarian aid is allowed to enter the strip.

In addition to food and water scarcity, the healthcare system in Rafah, has almost entirely collapsed. As a result, my family’s health, already at risk due to malnutrition, poor hygiene, little access to sanitation and the harsh weather conditions in the tent, is now also in serious peril because of the shortage of medicines and medical care.

The three newborns face the same threats, if not greater ones; as baby essentials including formula are barely available. Moreover, the only medical assistance they and their mothers have access to is that of an overcrowded maternity clinic or a field hospital with limited capabilities and equipment.

This is urgent, and they desperately need the funds. I urge you to visit bilal's blog as well as his gfm page and to read his story.

Bilal and his family need your support during this difficult time, so please dont look away.

need help

hi, i’m antoni, a trans guy who just turned 20, and i’m getting kicked out of my house. it’s super hard for me to write this because just thinking about it hurts, but my mother kicked me out when i was 17 and i had to live with my dad, and now he’s kicked me out too. my mother won’t take me back, so i have to move in with my friend in sydney.

i have no savings, i’ve never had a job due to being mentally disabled and living in a shitty town, i can’t drive on my own because i only have a learner’s permit, and i dropped out of school. my disorder has made it extremely hard to do these things thanks to executive dysfunction, and my parents have refused to medicate me because they don’t believe me. even commissions have been incredibly hard to accomplish and i even had to cancel on someone, because my tablet is never working the way i want it to and art has become too difficult.

i have absolutely nothing to fall back on, and a bus from here to sydney is at least $80 (which i can afford but i’ll have very little left).

despite not giving me any money, i most likely won’t be eligible for centrelink because my piece of shit dad makes too much, so there’s a good chance i’ll be without that support unless they accept me for something else.

there will be a window of time in which i don’t have any income or financial support at all while i try and find a job, and i have no idea when i’ll get one, so i’m asking for help from anyone who can.
