worried that about donating to palestinian escape gofundmes instead of organizations like careforgaza i know are vetted; any tips for telling if one is legit?

Usually if an account reaches out to you and their tumblr page is a shit ton of popular posts all reblogged within minutes of each other, with a fundraising post pinned that was made maybe 45 minutes ago, it's a sign they're a scam (and are spamming reblogs to make themselves look more legit). Go to Operation Olive Branch for funds to donate to - their team is thorough when vetting funds and they have hundreds still waiting to reach their goal.

ARTISTS FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸 - ROUND 3!! On the 26th April and 3rd of May, I'll be doing art requests on stream with other notable artists to raise money for Palestinian escape funds.

This round's roster is very lucky to include returning artists including webcomic artist Graveweaver (I'm The Grim Reaper), @wolfythewitch, Cuptoast, Denimcatfish and more.

If you won't be able to make it to the streams but would still like to donate money, you can find a spreadsheet with hundreds of escape funds listed here. Alternatively, you could donate to one of three funds that I am focusing a lot of my efforts on.

Donate to Anwar's family (€8,000 from escaping) Donate to Thaer’s fund (€7,000 from escaping) Donate to Salwa Al-Shandagha ($9,000 from escaping)

As always, these fundraiser streams will always be available to watch over on my twitch channel here. Hope to see some of you there!

#round 3 of these fundraiser streams!! #payment will be taken through ko-fi and will then be sent out to the outlined funds #im really going to do my best to get these three families over the line and out of gaza #please donate! #anything counts #also special thanks to all these returning artists #they're genuinely all such amazing people for agreeing to this #palestine #free palestine #fundraiser #donation #donations for palestine

$10k until evacuation!!!

This Palestinian family is only asking for $10K to help them escape! That’s a goal that’s very manageable. Please donate, any amount counts, and if you can’t make sure to share!!!

i'll be donating around $3,000 USD to palestinian escape funds soon, wondering if there's anyone interested in matching donations.

Update Harvard students are walking out in solidarity with Columbia’s students

These are billion dollar for profit institutions that directly impact financial backing of Israel’s apartheid regime

Look at these two sisters! Mona took this video while distributing the bags of flour you see in this video. They're so happy to receive a bag of flour that they can't physically contain their joy. It's heartwrenching but beings me relief at the same time. Thank you for all your donations. You are doing and helping more than you can understand. Please remember to donate. This is the very proof that every dollar helps. P*ypal.

G*f*ndme for the initiative.

G*f*ndme to evacuate Mona & her family.

Instagram to track progress.

As usual, if you'd like to send messages of care and well wishes Mona's way, she'd really appreciate. She has recently found out her entire neighbourhood been completely erased. Please remember to donate to her evacuation fundraiser.

As Israel begins to invade Rafah after the White House officially gave them the greenlight, I'm trying to make a big fundraising push to help some get to their required amount. A reminder that every single cent from my store profits are donated!!

If my prices are too far out of your budget, please consider donating to one of these three escape funds.

Donate to Anwar's family (€9,000 from escaping) Donate to Diaa Mahmoud's fund (€8,000 from escaping) Donate to Thaer’s fund (€7,000 from escaping)

Heart-eaters is officially for sale on my store, with both physical and digital copies available! If you've seen some of my work floating around over last year and ever wanted a copy of the full anthology for yourself, not only is it now an option, but the money is going to a great cause.

100% of all profits from my store (for the indefinite future) will be donated to support aid on the ground in Gaza. Money will be split between Medical Aid for Palestinians, the PCRF and CareforGaza in a 40/40/20 split. While I will still take some portion of revenue, it'll only be to cover costs of production and shipping - otherwise, every cent will be going to support Palestine.

I'm incredibly honoured and humbled to say that after just the first day's worth of sales, I'll be able to donate over $3,000 to these efforts. Hopefully, I'll be able to increase this number in days to come. Thank you for your support!

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

For those who don't know, Rafah Crossing is closed. Meaning Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are technically not allowed to go into Egypt through Rafah Crossing (with exceptions, like holding a foreign passport) so in order to evacuate, Palestinians need to bribe Egyptian border security officials. The standard price used to be about $5000 - 7000 per person but some Palestinians have been told to pay $10,000 per person just to cross the border, forget other expenses like food and boarding.

For a group of people who are enduring genocide and the complete destruction of their homes that money is impossible to raise without the help of fundraising. That and the collapse of the UNRWA is the reason you're seeing so many Gofundmes nowadays. The entire aid system is gone with the exception of local aid organisations that have limited reach.

So if you see a credible fundraiser, please at the very least share it so it can reach more people. This list by @el-shab-hussein is a good place to start.

the way that the iran/israel situation has escalated so fast into potential ww3 is terrifying but its also worth saying that if you care about palestinian lives and holding israel accountable, it's not the time to be muting tags. western media is gonna be doing its best to make iran seem like the aggressor. you'll play a part in upholding the narrative by bearing witness now.

#there are caveats to this of course. preserve your mental health #doomscrolling helps noone and is ultimately a punishment for yourself #but just to keep in mind. i think its important to recognise the significance of whats happening right now #and how fast things might change #palestine
