Update: The Need Will Not Disappear Overnight

Even if ICE leaves Minnesota, the need for neighborly support will not disappear overnight.

Families in our community are still experiencing lost income, missed work, and ongoing instability. Rent is still due. Groceries are still needed. The impact of fear and disruption does not end when enforcement changes or headlines fade.

We are now focused on preventing housing instability in March and continuing to provide direct support for housing, food, and essential needs.

This is often the moment when public attention shifts. For many of our neighbors, the crisis is not over. Needs remain immediate and ongoing.

Bloomington Mutual Aid will keep showing up with care, consistency, and community support for families navigating this moment.

Please continue to give, share, and stay engaged.
Community care must outlast the crisis."

[Header in larger bold type:]Silenced Online. Fighting to Survive Offline.If You’re Seeing This, Act Now.
[Main text, standard size --sorry, I don't know my font sizes-- nonbold]
I’m going to be very clear.

Every account that tries to help me gets removed. Even when two friends created an account just to share my fundraiser — it was deleted within a week. Not for breaking rules. Just erased.

There is no stable platform left for me.

If you are reading this, this may be one of the few windows I have before I disappear again.

I am exhausted. I am trying to support my family. I am trying to survive with dignity.

If you’ve ever thought about donating — do it now.
If you’ve ever thought about sharing — do it now.

Silencing me won’t stop the need. It only makes it harder.

Your support is not charity. It is survival.

Donate. Share. Stand with us.

"I wouldn’t ask like this unless it was urgent. I need help right now. Please act. Please don’t leave us unseen.

Please look at the photos.
Do not scroll past this.

I am in a desperate situation.
I need help now.

You have to act now.
Please don’t ignore this.
Please don’t forget me."

Screenshot of an update from today on Malak's Chuffed page showing two photos, one of her sister Maali (who lives with partial paralysis) sitting in a chair outside and one of what I believe are the family's belongings also outside. Above the photo, the word Urgent. Below the photos, the following text:
"I need your support, friends. At first, the war destroyed our house and we left without anything. Today, the apartment we rented was destroyed without us taking our belongings. What should we do? We need your support to buy our needs and a tent. We need you, my friends. Please. The price of a tent is $1000."

The text:
Are you waiting for me and my
children to die to help me!!!!️
‼️‼️i beg you to save me‼️‼️
Help me, I'm dying, help me on that trip to survive the war, that campaign is dedicated to the circumstances of my displacement with my family, please help me
Our grief is heavy because the world has left us to suffer alone. It feels like our pain is unheard, our tears unseen. As if our lives carry no value to them… They left us to the cold, to hunger, to fear — as if we are not human like them. We never asked for the impossible

Screenshot from Maha's Chuffed page. Text as follows:

Maha has just sent me a message:

"The bombing does not stop, all the time bombing, demolition and destruction.

There is no safety anywhere in Gaza. Goods are now available in markets but prices are still very high. Most of the population does not have work and I do not have money to buy anything.

Noone provides aid from the institutions."

If you are in the position to do so, please help Maha and her family with a donation so she can get some food.

The people of Gaza need to know that we care, that they are not forgotten.
