A pale lavender background with an ink drawing of roses on it. In purple text it says the words:’For single mum Maha, the struggle to live continues: facing continue displacement, famine, and destruction. She has no one to help her secure urgent food, shelter and winter items for her family. That’s where you come in. Be her hope.’ At the bottom of the page is an address : tinyurl.com/For-Maha

Don’t forget them. Keep supporting them. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Image in black and red of the Virgin X., fully made up and holding a red cloak behind them. White text overlaying image says: “Not posting right now just remind everyone there still has been no actual ceasefire in Gaza. Israel continues to bomb, harass, abuse and colonise the area and innocent civilians, yes some aid is able to get in but not nearly enough and Palestinians are still reliant on donations as their entire lives have been destroyed, all infrastructure and economy too, And the vast majority are still living in tents as they have no homes to return to. Garza has slipped from the algorithm but the lives affected by Israel’s ongoing genocide – funded by the USA – are still as much in need as ever. Don’t forget about them. Keep donating when you can and Do Not relent until we have a truly FREE PALESTINE.”

Seeing Chris Hedges speak tonight. Cannot wait!
In a lecture hall, the stage with a close up of the projection on the back wall. There is a headshot of Chris Hedges, the journalist, on the right hand side of the projection. He’s wearing a blue shirt and a dark blazer and he’s staring into the camera. On the left side of the projection, on a green background is a logo in black and white that says’Edward Said memorial lecture’ Adelaide, South Australia. Then in the middle of the projection says: CHRIS HEDGES ‘Requiem for Gaza’. At the bottom is the green, red, white and black logo of the AFOPA (Australian Friends of Palestine Association)

Shouting into the BlueSky for my dear friend Maha. She has the chance to go back to her apartment in Gaza City which miraculously wasn’t bombed, but she needs to raise rent and transport. We have about $US450 which we’d raised for a tent… a house is infinitely better. She needs $1300. Can you help?
A pale purple graphic with a hat in paints like font That says help Maha and her kids survive! The graphic also has a pen and ink drawing of flowers on it.

Still haven’t made our target for single mum Maha, who’s needing shelter, food and winter clothing and other items. Please be her hope. She has no one but us to help her.

This is Maha’s message to you all but unfortunately she can’t share it as she’s been marked as spam for having the audacity to desperately try to survive. Anyway soon I’ll be launching another campaign to get her a tent. Thanks all. Xxx
Screenshot of a post from Maha, who’s been marked as spam because she’s Palestinian. Her message says: “ my love Louisa. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to you to my dear Jim to the beautiful Divya to my close friend Derek and to everyone who contributed shared and donated to me and my family. We are grateful for your continuous giving. You are the only hope left for us after God.

This is Maha’s son Tamer showing the hellscape that once was Al Rimal, Maha’s neighbourhood. The family have to flee to stay alive. They have nowhere to go and no money. They need transport, a tent, food and clothing. If you can help them please donate here chuffed.org/project/savi...

Maha’s rent is due. If she doesn’t pay it they will throw her out. My partner and I will cover half of it but I need to raise another US$325. Can you help? Any donation will be welcome.
Image with the text 'Help Maha Pay Her Rent! Every dollar helps a Palestinian single mother hold onto her only shelter. Goal: 500 AUD (325 USD), Page Target 4947 AUD, Due By 1st of September!'. It has a link and QR code for the fundraiser page http://tinyurl.com/mahagaza. Besides the text is a line drawing of an iris flower in bud with one petal just unfurled, and a grasshopper perching on top of the flower. Text and image are in black on a muted iris-purple background fading to white

I told Maha, my beautiful friend in Gaza, about the protests in Sydney… that more than 90 000 people crossed the Sydney Harbour Bridge for Gaza and this is what she wrote:
A post on WhatsApp from Maha: “ I am very happy for this solidarity. It is an achievement by kind and loving people. I am so grateful to all of them. They are heroes, humanitarians and loving people. Thank you from my heart to everyone. There is also a reply asking for permission to post on blue sky.

Trying out her new bed. Hasn’t quite got the idea of sleeping IN it yet.
