still struggling with this. have been told payment is finally going to arrive on the 2nd, but things are very precarious until then & funds remain very low. really appreciate any help. still looking for any small work I can do in the next 2 weeks I am in nyc.
was able to get meds & blood sugar has slowly been getting towards more stability but am also now waiting on payment from multiple recent work & in the meantime have run out of funds to eat regularly, which radically destabilizes the diabetic condition. grateful for help.

Between the mercy of God and the nobility of your souls, a thread of hope holds my family together. Only $295 separates us from securing a real tent for my seven little ones. chuffed.org/project/205073 You have brought us this far, past the midpoint of our struggle. I cry out to your human hearts: do not abandon us at the final stretch. Be the roof that covers our heads when the skies pour despair. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿค @shaunking @umaymohamed @Meteo1970 @MarkSwanny
I never wanted to share our pain this way, but when your world shrinks to a torn tent, survival becomes a daily fight. As the freezing winter approaches, terrors of past memories haunt us, recalling how we drowned in the heavy mud last year. We are 9 soulsโ€”my 7 children, 3 under five, and my 8-month-old baby girl, living in half a torn tent over wet mud, terrified of what is coming. "The cold rain approaches and the bitter wind blows, Remembering last winter fills a mother's heart with woes..." We have nothing left to shield my babies from the harsh freeze ahead. Thanks to kind hearts who stood by us, only $420 remains to buy a new tent. chuffed.org/project/205073 Please help us cross this finish line before the storms swallow us again! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฅน @shaunking @umaymohamed @rawhie94 @2busybnblk

I feel deeply embarrassed to repeatedly ask for help, but as a mother, my only goal is to protect my little ones. We live through extreme poverty under a worn-out fabric that fails to shelter us as the night temperatures drop. I have 7 children, including an 8-month-old infant who feels every chilly breeze. We urgently need to build a simple tent for $550 before the winter freeze fully sets in. chuffed.org/project/205073 I don't want to burden anyone, but I beg you: do not pass by my words in silence. Help us with any small amount, and give my family a chance to survive this reality. @shaunking @umaymohamed

kinda funny any time thereโ€™s panahi news ostensibly radical ppl wheel out โ€œregime badโ€œ and forget he was running around calling either for iranโ€™s collapse or for it to give up deterrence in the middle of an existential war w/ the US, Israel & their proxies, some good movies tho!

I am a mother of 7 children, the youngest is my baby girl, not even 8 months old yet, and 3 of my little ones are under 5. At night, inside this old, worn-out tent made of thin cloth and plastic, I feel their small bodies trembling from the cold. I wrap them with whatever worn blankets I have, hiding my own tears and trying to stay strong for them. The night is long, the wind is harsh and cold, I hide my tears to keep my children bold... What will I do when winter worsens, and not a single dry spot is left inside our tent to shield my children? A decent tent that can protect us from the upcoming storms costs $700 in Gaza. Thanks to the kind souls who stood by us, we now only need $500. chuffed.org/project/205073 I don't dream of muchโ€”just a simple, dry shelter where I can sleep knowing my children are warm and safe. Please, if you can help with any amount, do not hesitate. Your small contribution brings me one step closer to protecting my children before the freezing winter shows no mercy. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ™@shaunking @umaymohamed @ssuzie__ @kokokarincyo @MZk64201446 @joe90kane @rawhie94 @rockleeisms @7_1_2PM @guilbert_ga @bill2earth @bfry1981 @KOMINERT @konrad_sx

Good morning my friends! I hope this finds you in good health. We are still alive and sending you our deepest respect and love from Gaza. Despite the cold silence and low interaction, I refuse to lose hope in your kind hearts. chuffed.org/project/205073 Am I really invisible to you, or will someone step up today to support my 7 children? Please, don't pass by without a word. ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ @shaunking @umaymohamed @ssuzie__ @birdontherock1
Writing these posts breaks my heart and overwhelms me with shame, but as a mother living in a tent with 7 children, I have no choice. We are still $200 away from buying baby formula and basic supplies for our kids. chuffed.org/project/205073 My little ones don't know why we are suffering like this; they just look up to me to feed them. Please, if my posts have crossed your feed before, do not ignore us today. Even $5 or a retweet can make a difference for my family right now. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฅน @shaunking @ssuzie__ @AudreyHepbourne @joe90kane

Hours have passed since I wrote that our basic food supply in our tent has completely run out. Until now, our campaign doesn't even cover the expenses of my infant daughter Layan. We all know people are tired of seeing news from Gaza, but my children are too young to ever get tired of needing food. My children are still here, and our tent is still empty. chuffed.org/project/205073 I am a mother of seven children, trying to imagine what the coming days will look like if this situation continues, and how I will be able to feed them when nothing is left. We are still in urgent need of $300 to provide the bare minimum for our family of Nine members before it becomes impossible. If you are able to help us, even with a small amount, please help me now. We need you today more than ever. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฅน๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฐ
We live day by day, and this link is our absolute only lifeline with zero other income. Today is Friday, and I sit here weeping, with nothing in my hands to feed my hungry children. Our campaign barely covers a fractionโ€”it doesn't even secure diapers or milk for my baby. We are dying slowly inside this tent. If you cannot donate even a little, please share my post so it reaches someone who can save my children. @shaunking chuffed.org/project/205073

I wish I didn't have to write this again. My mother needs hearing aids due to auditory nerve weakness. $350 separates us from providing hearing aids and medical tests. Please donate and share. ๐Ÿ™ chuffed.org/project/019df062โ€ฆ
