Black text on white background, it says: Updates4 July 22nd, 2025 by Mustafa Ibrahim, Organizer Dear friends, We want to begin by once again thanking you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support is what continues to make the work of the Khartoum Aid Kitchen initiative possible. Thanks to your generosity, we've managed to carry out important rehabilitation work on the Omdurman Teaching Hospital. This has more than doubled its patient capacity during a time when over 80% of Khartoum’s healthcare facilities have ceased operations due to the war. We’re also proud to share that we've managed to rehabilitate the centre of the Sudanese Association for the Blind, allowing the association to return its evacuated members back to Khartoum. In May, a devastating cholera outbreak shook the city of Khartoum, with over 8,500 suspected cases reported. Hospitals overflowed and turned away patients for lack of space. Concerningly, IV fluids, which are essential for treatment, became scarce. In response, the Khartoum Aid Kitchen stepped in to supply IV fluid drips, enabling the El Fetihab isolation centre in Omdurman to provide life saving treatment. Additionally, our voluntary return journeys continue, with the Khartoum Aid Kitchen now running the largest return journey operation in Sudan. We've safely returned displaced families to their homes in Khartoum and Gezira state, offering them a chance to rebuild after long months of displacement.

With gratitude, The Khartoum Aid Kitchen Team

Update directly from the family:
Black text on white background, it says: Updates11 June 3rd, 2025 by Asmaa Madi, Organizer Hi Everyone, It's been a while, and I want to thank you all again for your kind support. We have launched this campaign for the sake of traveling in Feb 2024, then when we were close to collecting the funds needed for travel, they closed the border in May 2024, never opened it again since then.. And for that, we have been depending on these funds for more than a year, paying rent, buying food, medicine, clothes, and all other life expenses which are really expensive now. So, we have spend the most of the funds and we want to collect again in case the border opened anytime soon and also to have money to be able to spend and survive this famine. Thank you so much again, and please share our story again. Love, Almaqadma Family

The latest update from Majd from GFM
Black Text on a white background, it says: Update 9 August 13th, 2025 by Majd Omar,Organizer Dear friends, Your generosity has been a light in one of the darkest times of my life. Because of you, we’ve made it through these difficult weeks — but our journey isn’t over yet. I want you to know that YOU were the reason we could keep going when things felt impossible. Your support gave us hope, food on the table, and the ability to care for my mother during her illness. But her health still depends on continued care, clean water, and proper nutrition — and I can’t do this alone. Unfortunately, this GoFundMe campaign must stop here due to a banking issue with my friend’s account in Europe. My dear friend Chuck has helped me start a new campaign on Chuffed, which will be even better: • Donations will go directly to me, without large fees. • Your help will reach us faster and with greater impact. I truly hope you can join me there, because your support can keep my mother’s health stable and allow us to live with dignity during this crisis. I’ll share the link for you here and also on my Instagram page. IG:its_glory.majd https://chuffed.org/project/144090-help-majd-protect-his-family-keep-gazas-story-alive Black text on white background, it says: Please — if you ever thought of helping us again, this is the moment we need you most. Every single contribution makes a difference. With heartfelt gratitude, [Majd Omar]

4- “It’s a Free game!”

Even if it’s a free game, playing a game connected to a company that is on the boycott list is helping with normalization.

(Link: www.reddit.com/r/Palestine/... )
A Post from reddit by a user called sabbah “ Playing a game from a boycotted brand, even without spending money, still supports them in several ways. By engaging with a game, you’re boosting the brand’s visibility and engagement, which can lead to more people discovering and potentially buying their products. Many free-to-play games generate revenue through ads, meaning your participation indirectly contributes to the company’s income. Additionally, companies collect user data from gameplay to improve products or monetize in other ways. This data is valuable, and by making a purchase, your actions help sustain the brand’s presence, making it harder to challenge their negative practices or values. Thus, playing the game, even passively, supports the company and keeps their practices legitimized.”
