My friends, I won’t stay silent. Today my family needs only $70 to have enough food for Ramadan. They are breaking their fast with almost nothing. No proper meal. No suhoor. Just hunger. If you can help,this is the moment. Don’t scroll past us. Don’t forget us.

Putting up another thread for Eslam @ssme-ra.bsky.social, she's still actively trying to secure aid for her family in Gaza, and to hopefully get them across the border sometime.
Photos and updates below.
Donate only if you can. Spread the word if you cannot. #GazaAid 🍉

Please please share my friend Eslam. Her online outreach is continually deleted or banned. She needs constant help supporting her family during Ramadan. Please repost if you cannot donate anything. chuffed.org/project/1282...

Eslam has done so much important reporting and creating art, and Bluesky has repeatedly banned her for it. If you can donate, please do. If you can't, quote post or repost. Every little bit helps

Text from Eslam on Monday at 11:28pm: Hi my dear friend, I’m so sorry to reach out like this, but I’m desperate and don’t know where else to turn. My sister’s condition has worsened — the stress of caring for her two young children has overwhelmed her, and I’m also taking care of them. Today, her neck and back locked up, she couldn’t breathe, and we had to call an ambulance. She’s been in the hospital for two days now, and the medical costs are extremely high.
I don’t know whom to focus on — should I care for my sister and her children here, for my family in Gaza, or for myself? I’m carrying all of their responsibilities, and it’s becoming impossible alone. If you can help even a little, it would mean the world. Please, I beg you, stand with me if you’re able.
🚨 URGENT HELP NEEDED 🚨
We all know and love Eslam (artist Soma), who keeps being deleted. Her sister is hospitalized ‼️ Now she has TWO emergencies: medical care for her sister in Egypt, and urgent basics for their family in Gaza. PLEASE HELP

Eslam set up yet another account @artist-24.bsky.social, and they deleted that one too. Her original account @soma-eslam.bsky.social had over 4k followers, and she’d been verified by multiple sources, so they know damn well she’s real. Please donate if you’re able and share.

Eslam has been silenced on here, but she and her family still need support.

[Header in larger bold type:]Silenced Online. Fighting to Survive Offline.If You’re Seeing This, Act Now.
[Main text, standard size --sorry, I don't know my font sizes-- nonbold]
I’m going to be very clear.
Every account that tries to help me gets removed. Even when two friends created an account just to share my fundraiser — it was deleted within a week. Not for breaking rules. Just erased.
There is no stable platform left for me.
If you are reading this, this may be one of the few windows I have before I disappear again.
I am exhausted. I am trying to support my family. I am trying to survive with dignity.
If you’ve ever thought about donating — do it now.
If you’ve ever thought about sharing — do it now.
Silencing me won’t stop the need. It only makes it harder.
Your support is not charity. It is survival.
Donate. Share. Stand with us.
Don't forget Eslam. Please share and donate if you can.

My friend Eslam and her family have been through hell, and it’s not over.
Her sister, Shaimaa, is exhausted, in pain, and taking injections to survive. When she was taken for treatment, her children witnessed her suffering, and Eslam has been holding everything together.
