Many times I start writing a request for help and truly cry!
It’s not easy to ask for help. Imagine your life becoming like a prison before entering it—everything is taken from you: your home, your work your money, and all doors are closed until the last drop of water and the last piece of food are gone
We, who have lost everything, struggle every day to preserve the little dignity and humanity we still have

Please dont be upset with us or see us as beggars I created this link after two and a half years after I no longer had a place in the aid linesand I struggle alone with my children and an injured family member
The sentence I cannot help everyone I am supporting several families is very common when asking for help It is painful to the point of death my entire city feels like everyone has become walking corpses
Forgive us if we burden you but I write and cry out of helplessness and lack of options
@nada_eid_88 Dear Nada, please don't worry. We don't see you as beggars. Some individual people do see you as beggars and perhaps even block you, but they are the ones who don't have empathy. Everyone who has empathy totally understands that everything was taken from you. We know that we would want to receive help if we were in your situation. There is no shame in asking for help when you are the victim of a genocide. We all understand. You aren't a burden. Don't be afraid to ask for help. We will help you, even if you don't ask for help, thanks to websites like https://gaza-verified.org/donate/.
Your situation is very hard. 😔 There are two million Palestinians. There aren't nearly as many people willing to help on Mastodon. Even if everyone of us supports five families, many families will hear the sentence you described. 😔 It's not fair. It's not what you deserve. 💔 But don't be afraid to ask for help. We will never consider you a burden, even if we don't have money to give to you.
@davidculley Thank you so much for your kindness, but this is a feeling that has been with us for a long time. I only created the link after my husband was seriously injured and we lost all our belongings. My husband lost everything—his company shares, his salary, and our home. The only thing that survived is my mobile phone, which is a burden on my heart because it contains photos showing the difference between our past life and what it has become now.
@nada_eid_88 I cannot remotely understand how it must feel to see the pictures of your past life and how it is now. 😔 Always to be reminded of what you lost. That must be so hard. 😭
