I Woke Up With A Pit In My Stomach. My Very First Thought After Hearing The News Was What This Would
I woke up with a pit in my stomach. My very first thought after hearing the news was what this would mean for the people I love. I thought about my two sisters who are proud members of the LGBTQ+ community. I thought about my parents who were both planning on retiring this year. I thought about the people of color I know and how this will put their safety and wellbeing into even more danger. I thought about myself and others who struggle with reproductive health and rely on hormonal contraceptives to manage pain and KEEP their fertility. This is not me trying to virtue signal. I’m from a small, conservative town, and I’ve seen just how rampant hate and intolerance can be. Keep fighting and remember you matter, regardless of what the hateful bigots will say. Love still - and will always exist in the world. We can and will get through this.

Hello, I am Oday from Gaza, Palestine 🇵🇸 This is my third account after the other two accounts were suspended. I am fighting for everyone and I just want to help with my campaign. I did not do anything illegal. I only asked for help. I created a go fund me campaign to get me and my family out of Gaza I followed my campaign and it was verified by @el-shab-hussein &nabulsi
We live in very difficult living conditions. I contracted viral hepatitis as a result of malnutrition, and there is no treatment here. We die every day from the heat of the tent and the insects and scorpions that constantly accompany us. My sister is about to give birth to her first child. Our biggest fear is where will this child live in these conditions? Help me bear the costs of leaving Gaza. I hope you will help us by donating or republishing. Rest assured that every $5 can make a huge difference in our lives Your support and contributions are very important to us

🌍🌏🌎Earth is a wonderful planet, but of course, some of the people who live here can do some atrocious activities, like the genocide of the Palestinian people in their home of Gaza. 💔
If you voted, all I ask is you consider donating or even helping to boost my good friend's gfm so she and her children can escape the ongoing genocide.
Currently we only have £2,086 / £55,000 raised for the Zaquot family. Don't let donations stagnate, help this beautiful family and do what you can by donating and sharing.
From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you so much for taking the time to listen.

Hi guys, sorry for the lack of posting. This month has been pretty busy, so Sims got put on the back burner. This account is definitely active though. Even though I haven't been posting, I'm always lurking on here. I'm going to get back to normal gameplay and CAS pictures soon, and then hopefully find a way to properly introduce myself. Until then, thank you to the few people who have followed me! I started posting so people would know I wasn't a spam account and I never really thought I'd get any followers. So, it's been a bit of a happy surprise.
P.S.
Happy Pride Month to all the LGBTQ+ simmers out there!
All fundraisers on https://gazafunds.com/ are vetted and verified to be from Palestinians. The algorithm has been suppressing and shadow-banning a lot of fundraisers from Palestinians in Gaza, and these people are reaching out to us for the ability to be able to survive. Food and other daily living needs are costly and limited (even starting since the 2007 blockade on the Gaza Strip, and especially worsened in the last year) and living conditions continue to get worse in the Gaza Strip as we head into winter again.
This website brings up a random campaign to spotlight; please donate, if you can, to the first one you see! A lot of people donating a little bit adds up. Please remember currency exchange rates.
Hello
Iwould be truly grateful if you could help me with a donation in order to save my children and my family from the dangers of war and death in Gaza and escape to a safe place. My situation is very catastrophic
Please Donate and Replog and Shaer For My Family 🙏

Never mind...
Hello 👋 my ❤ friends !
I am asking you to support my newly created campaign to help my family survive the gruesome war over Gaza to safety and ✌️ peace.
Life has become incredibly harsh, tough and full of hardship and painful suffering. We lack all he basic living essentials and necessities such as food, water , medicine and other needs.
The war has made our life hopeless and desperate. My six-member family has been going through the hardest days they have ever experience for almost eleven months due to the disastrous war.
The war has taken every beautiful thing from us, leaving us homeless, displaced and jobless.
The rising prices of all necessary items of life has complicated our living conditions especially when all our savings were spent over the least necessities and needs.
So I am now asking you to lessen and minimize our burdens and loads of life through your contribution. You can help my family survive through donating whatever you can or reposting my messages.
Yours
Rewaa

This fundraiser has not been vetted yet, but GoFundMe protects donations.
We survived genocide. Do we survive life's difficulties? 😭
This is me, Noura Ayman,
A medical lab specialist and I have been working in the Turkish Friendship Hospital for four years and studying a master's degree at Al-Aqsa University but have not yet finished it.
My story in short is that we have been out of Gaza for treatment in Egypt since July 2023, and we have done an “in vitro fertilization” to give birth after four failed operations in Gaza.
We had a very beautiful baby. 😍
But sadly that the war happened in Gaza in October 2023 and we have been stuck in Egypt ever since without any source of income, and I don't know how to provide for my beautiful daughter's Hanan needs and how to pay for the house and the rest of life, plus our house was bombed in Gaza.💔
I also need to get my remaining family out of Gaza to survive the genocide, my father Ayman 58 years old and brothers Samed 15 years old and Doaa 18 years old , They haven't seen my mom in over a year because she traveled with me to do my operation.
They need 15000$ to get out from Gaza , please save them from GENOCIDE.😭
So please support us to set up my own medical analysis laboratory and complete a master's degree in Egypt.
I thank you very much for your interest and support. 🍉🍉
