Sharing this mutual aid fundraiser from our network, for one of thousands of people in Gaza who could use our support. Please give & share!

🤒💔 right now hammad’s dad is battling with chronic heart disease that has now begun affecting vital organs. he has been overdue for surgery since january of last year.

🧸 there is some good news! hammad found a doctor that is able to do a surgery that could prolong his dad’s life until he’s able to get the surgery he actually needs to support his heart.

📅 unfortunately, the surgery costs $4300 and we only have TWO MONTHS to raise this amount in order to get hammad’s dad the treatment he needs.

doctors have said ❗️he will not survive without this surgery❗️and the next available appointment would be december 2026 — next year. there is very, very little hope he would make it until then.

🫂 every possible good thing from this campaign has come from people like you who have been so generous to give what you can to keep them alive. hammad and his family have hope in each and every one of you, and right now they really, really need us to keep his dad’s heart beating.

🔖 if you are able to share this campaign to chats, friends, family, and comrades, please, please do so — it is such an enormous help, and please give what you can, even if it’s just a dollar.

🤍 thank you to every single person for sharing it around and being so generous in their donations. thank you so much for being such a bright light to my fiancé and his family

Image description: on an black background, the shape of a fist is outlined in three slides - first in teal blue green, then in yellow, then in red. On all three slides the red and black Chicago Action Medical logo (a Rod of Asclepius symbol with a raised fist inside the serpent, at the center of a red Star of Life emergency medicine symbol, with a red circular border that says “Chicago Action Medical”) is in the lower right hand corner. On the first slide, a dark green box with 7 sides in the lower right hand corner says “venmo: ELI_PIZZA_BEE”, on the line below it “memo: “SHAKSHUKA”” and below that, “tax deductible: tinyurl.com/fundsCAM”. On the second and third slides the box has 6 sides and is larger.

On the first slide, upper case black text in a teal box that intersects with the knuckles of the fist says “Fundraiser to support Chicago Action Medical Training Efforts.” The word Efforts and the lower right corner of the word Training are in magenta.

On the second slide, upper case black text in a yellow box that intersects with the knuckles of the fist states: “Chicago Action Medical is planning an upcoming street medic training. Please donate to help us pay for first aid and training supplies, food, venue and potential accessibility support.”

On the third slide, black uppercase text in a similar red box states “Chicago Action Medical is a street medic collective that has been providing medical at direct actions and demonstrations in Chicago since 2002.”
