And it’s the children that pay the highest price. An estimated 85,000 children have lost their lives to extreme starvation alone. Every 10 minutes, a child under 5 dies of preventable causes in Yemen. When choosing what charities or goals you want to support during the last few days of Ramadan, I urge you to keep the children of Yemen in mind. And if you’re not celebrating Ramadan, or are not religious.. you’re still human.
These are a few of charities that I know of that you can donate to:

Remember, it’s the smallest donations that build up or even just rebloging/sharing would help. May Allah smile upon us all, and relieve the children of this world of their heartache.
writing's a lonely hobby but it's interesting to think about how, for some of us, we wouldn't have it any other way.
Hi, I’m Danneil John Flores (22 years Old) and I’m asking some donations for my sister’s condition since me and my parents are incapable of supporting her right now and most of my savings are all dried out now. Both of my parents does not have a stable Job, my father is just a pedicab driver and my mother is a housewife. I had a job way back a year ago. I can’t find a job in here since I’m the only one who can do the labors of getting her oxygen refilled daily and also in case of some emergencies, luckily right now (Sept 2019) I was selected to join a free course study of Tesda which can help me get a job! Thank God! Me and my family are also trying to start a small business so that we can also sustain on our own.
Most of the Donations from February 2019 to this day have been all put in good use. We already have repaired her room and put an AC on it since the doctor advise us. Also aside from that the money goes to our family needs, her check ups and medicines.

Guys I made a post not too long ago about how my tooth was abscessed and needed to be seen to by a dentist. Well I went to a dentist in my area and I learned not all dentists pull teeth! That one sure didn’t.
So I had to pay for a $50 visit just for him to look in my mouth and tell me my tooth was abscessed and needed to be pulled (BUT THEN WOULDN’T PULL IT).
Meaning I had to go make another appointment with a dentist that will handle the back teeth! Which I did. Only thing is there’s only a few dentists that will work on those teeth, and the best one is up north of me and it’s a hell of a drive.
I called today and asked if I could just come in as an emergency (because my pain is to the point where I cannot function anymore) and the lady said yes.
But a walk in/emergency appointment is $75.
THEN for them to extract my tooth it would cost me $155.
And that’s not counting the money for gas to drive up there and the cost for the pain relief meds I’ll need after this. I’m hoping those won’t go past $50.
I don’t have the money to pay for any of that. I currently have $2.27 in my account and I’d be beyond grateful for any help. I’m hoping I can go see the dentist on Monday at the earliest.
I’d be so grateful for donations so I can work again. I can’t stand to look at my computer screen for longer than a few minutes at a time because of the pain from my tooth that’s spreading to my whole jaw and right cheek/face.
Does anyone else feel, like, a weird inhibition against starting new TV shows? Like, there are shows I want to watch but when I think about sitting down to start it something in me goes “no you can’t just do that.” What am i waiting for? I feel like I need to prepare? Brain: You have to wait. Me: Wait for what??? Brain: WAIT

I'm alive!
Not that anybody really noticed. I think it's about time I used this blog for something. The drawing thing didn't really work out so I'm just writing now. Does Dark angst sound good? Thinking of having it posted tmrw or the day after. We shall see.
Now how do I use tags here...
Yeah, this squirrel really doesn’t like nuts.
I really want a science fiction story where aliens come to invade earth and effortlessly wipe out humanity, only to be fought off by the wildlife.
They were expecting military resistance. They weren’t counting on bears.
It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.
decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years
UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire
US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire
Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests
Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine
Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza
Stani, Squirrel, call me whatever. She/her. I write stuff and sometimes throw them out into the sunlight. PP by my brother!
