Solidarity and Mutual Aid Opportunities
In the midst of planetarium turmoil, we are compelled to take actions towards collective liberation and inquire into solidarity. Mutual aid is the first stand where we can find solutions and make decisions toward a roots-remembering humanity. We are all dreams, hearts, families, nature. How can all of us remember this, our interconnectiveness, our common ancestors, our common purpose?
Join this space for direct mutual aid. Contribute with your gift as you can.
Help Mohamad's Family: From War to Hope
Mohamad is Palestinian author and researcher, friend of the Alliance who attended the Ecoversities Global Gathering in Siwa in 2022. "My name is Mohamad AlZaqzouq, and I'm reaching out to you with a heartfelt request for your support. Friends, we are all living in the worst form of war in Gaza, a strong and dominant war that has turned all forms of life into an endless hell. Everything is being severely damaged. Death, devastation, blood, and aggression are everywhere, and I am now struggling to keep hope and life alive, and to remain able to preserve my humanity and not be turned into rubble by the war machine. The short experience I lived in Siwa and the memories that this experience left behind live with me now and create for me hope that pushes me towards resisting this brutality."
Help Mahmoud Nashwan & Family
"Hello, I am Mahmoud Nashwan, 21 years old, a dentistry student at the university. I want to tell you about our suffering in Gaza under the difficult circumstances that the war brings. My father was killed by a bombardment. I miss him very much.
We have lived our whole lives in Beit Hanoun, the North of Gaza.
Because of the war we have been forced to leave our home behind. Our house was destroyed and with it all our hopes and dreams. We have no idea what the future will look like. We have nothing left. We live in southern Gaza, but we are not safe here either. Help us to get through the war in the coming period. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you."

Seeds of Hope - Help Ashraf and his Family
Helena is part of the Paqo tradition of the Andes and is sharing this source of power and healing with a family in Gaza, as well as helping set up a crowdfunding to cover their basic needs.
"Over many texts and video calls (through very intermittent internet signal), I have got to know Ashraf and his family quite well. Before the war they had a full life, where they lived in Khuza’a - their home is now destroyed - they lost everything! They are a very modest family, they feel ashamed to have to ask for help or even be photographed. Ashraf was in his final year of school and looking forward to going to university. He wants to follow his father’s footsteps and become a civil engineer."
Help Ahmed’s family find safety out of Gaza
Ahmed M. Saleh is a friend and collaborator of the Alliance, "I am urgently seeking your support to bring my family – my brother, his wife and my two sisters – out of Gaza, to a place where they can rebuild their lives in safety and peace. Your contribution, no matter how small, will bring my family one step closer to safety and security. If you are unable to contribute financially, your help in sharing and spreading the word about this fundraising effort would also be immensely valuable."Stand with Esam & his Family
Essam is a friend and collaborator of the Alliance, talented young writer. "Before the war, Esam had lots of dreams, envisioning a future that is full of hope and possibilities. However, the devastation of war shattered not just homes but also Esam's dreams. Now, with nothing left, Esam and his family's lives, homes, and aspirations lie in ruins.
The funds raised through this campaign will be directed towards providing immediate assistance to Esam and his family. From basic necessities to helping them secure shelter, every contribution will serve as a beacon of hope in their darkest hour. Your support will not only aid in their immediate assistance but also in rebuilding some of their destroyed and bombed homes."
