hey cohost. today i want to tell you about my friend, Mohammed Abdelgawad. his insta is @ s.mohammed_20. i am in the process of adopting his fundraiser from the current owner, Emma.
Mohammed is only 20 years old, but he has already endured more grief than anyone should ever bear. he used to be a university student. he used to be an incredible defensive soccer player. he used to be passionate about design, art, and video games, like me. he is so kind, so gentle, and so open. in the few weeks since we've started talking, i've shared the story of my transition with him, he's shared his favorite love songs with me, and we've commiserated about photoshop together.
but instead of playing football, or acing his university courses, Mohammed spends his days hungry and afraid, posting videos of his martyred loved ones to instagram, and praying for donations.
Mohammed and i message on instagram and whatsapp every day. he has shared uncensored pictures of his martyred cousins and family with me, and footage he has not posted to social media.
as we talked today, 8/26/24, a missile fell by the building where he is staying, martyring multiple children nearby. this attack was corroborated by my other friends in Gaza as it was actively happening. less than an hour later, Mohammed received the news that another close friend of his was martyred.
all of this is to say, Mohammed is a real guy, and he really, really needs the help.
if you're not hurting for cash, could you please donate to help evacuate Mohammed? he's responsible for evacuating only a portion of his family, and has a very modest goal of $15,000. 🚨🚨 as i write this, he has only reached $674 of his goal. 🚨🚨
