War is not just bombing and destruction; it devours our lives, strips us of safety, and takes away all our dreams. My name is Hani, a 26-year-old from Gaza. Despite all the destruction and loss, I still hold on to hope because it is the last thing I have. This is my story and the story of my family, torn apart by war but united by love and resilience. 🌱
Before the War: A Simple Life and Deferred Dreams
Before the war turned our lives into a nightmare, I was striving to achieve my dreams in social work after completing my university studies. I dreamed of contributing to improving people's lives in my community and serving the most vulnerable groups, but the lack of job opportunities in Gaza prevented me from realizing this dream. I had to work as a taxi driver 🚗 to support my large family. It wasn’t what I had planned, but it was the only way to provide for them.
We lived a in a small house in northern Gaza, trying to cope with daily difficulties, but we were together, and that was enough for us.
Then came the war, and it took everything. It turned our lives upside down, and my dreams became like scattered debris. 💔
The War: When Dreams Turned to Ruin
In one moment, we lost everything. Our home was destroyed, and the car that was my livelihood was also wrecked. We fled to the south to escape the bombings, and a tattered tent became our shelter. We now live in a camp where the heat is unbearable , and diseases surround us from all sides. My children and younger siblings live in constant fear 😔, deprived of education and safety. Their childhood was stolen from them, and their daily struggle is to find simple moments of joy in the midst of this destruction. 🎈
Despite all this suffering, hope still shines in our hearts. We believe that with your solidarity, we can rebuild our lives. 🌟
Despite the distance, we received unexpected support from friends who didn’t know us personally but felt our suffering. One sent us food aid 🍞, and another sent messages of support through social media. These messages and donations renewed hope in our hearts and made us believe that the world has not forgotten our humanity. 💖
Even the support from the local community, though modest, gave us the strength to continue resisting. Some neighbors gave us what they could, offering food and medicine. That assistance was a silent message that solidarity between us can triumph over the horrors of war. 🕊️
Hope is what keeps us alive in the hardest moments. One night, I received a message from my brother Salem, who lives in a camp in Greece. He said to me, "One day we will gather in a safe place, and we will live in peace." His words were a ray of light illuminating the dark nights. 🌙
My Family: Resilience in the Face of the Impossible
My Father Yasser (55 years old): He was the pillar of the family, but chronic illnesses have made him unable to work. His health deteriorates day by day, but having him with us is a blessing we cling to. 🙏
My Mother Manal (50 years old): She suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure. Despite needing constant care, her strong will is our source of strength. 💪
My Brother Salem (27 years old): He studied electrical engineering, but had to work as a laborer in a plumbing tools factory. He suffered a severe foot injury, leading to a 70% disability. He decided to leave Gaza in search of treatment and work, and now lives in a camp in Greece. 🌍
My Sister Safaa (23 years old): She is the daily support of the family, working hard to provide food and water for us. 💧🥖
Ibrahim (15 years old): A young boy with a big heart, trying to smile despite all the tough circumstances. 😊
Nasser (7 years old), Bara’a (5 years old), and Adam (3 years old): These children have never known a true childhood, but they try to find simple moments of joy amidst the destruction. Every day they lose a part of their innocence due to the constant fear of bombings and disease. 😢
Each day in the camp presents a new challenge. We live in a small, dilapidated tent, and suffer from a lack of clean water 💧 and food. Medicines are expensive, and food is scarce. My children can't go to school due to a lack of resources 📚, which increases our psychological suffering. Despite all of this, we try to maintain our spirit and resilience, believing that change is possible with your support. 🌱
1. Secure permanent shelter for the family: Build a stable tent to protect my family from the harsh conditions. 🏡
2. Provide medical treatment for my mother and father: Fund treatment to alleviate their suffering. 💉
3. : .Return our children to education: Provide basic educational supplies for the children. 📚
4. Sustainable food support: Provide food for our family on an ongoing basis. 🍞
5. Move the to a safe place: Secure the necessary resources to relocate to a place far from conflict. 🛤️
6. Rebuild our professional lives: Start small projects to ensure financial independence. 🛠️
7. Protect the children from diseases: Secure medical tools and cleaning supplies to protect our children from illness. 🧼
Urgent Appeal
This is not just a story about a family suffering under the rubble; it is a cry of hope and resilience in the face of the impossible. My family desperately needs your support. War has destroyed us, but we have not lost faith in the possibility of rebuilding our lives. We ask you to stand by us in this difficult time, so together we can provide shelter 🏠, treatment 💊, education 📚, and food 🍞 for our children.
Every contribution no matter how small, brings us one step closer to a better life, free from fear and destruction. 🕊
Help us today to protect our future and build a tomorrow full of hope. 🌟

Sekhmet, The “blood-drinker” Warrior Goddess.
«Beloved, Sekhmet
I write to you with a knot in my chest, with words that weigh heavy like stones in the river of what we once were. I watch as your beauty fades into a haze of fire, like ashes escaping a forgotten bonfire.
After every battle, you retreat into the depths of the good red, drowning the glory that was stolen from you. Everyone fears your nature, when all you seek is a chance to show them that you know how to love us, how to protect us.
And so, between the wine and the haze, I lost you. I will lose you. Because you are fire: you warm, you illuminate, but you also consume. And I, from the shadows of a void my duty demands I fill, can only love you in silence, knowing I can never stay by your side without burning.
Yours, faithfully.»

‼️EMERGENCY FUNDS: I need Help With Medical Bills And Equipment ‼️
Howdy Y'all, please share my story with me at least a little, I am a Type 1 Diabetic. I was diagnosed in February 2019 after being very sick and I weighed 88 lbs. For the last two and a half years I have had to inject insulin 4+ times for day every day, to stay within my blood glucose level.
In December 2020 I was hospitalized and had to have emergency surgery where I had to stay at home for the entire period of my illness without working, and I also had DKA aka Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones.
In the picture, the devices you see are the ones that are needed to control my diabetes.
Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when your body cannot produce enough insulin. Insulin normally plays an important role in helping sugar (glucose), the main source of energy for your muscles and other tissues, enter your cells. Without enough insulin, your body begins to break down fat as an alternative fuel. This process produces a buildup of toxic acids in the bloodstream called ketones, eventually leading to diabetic ketoacidosis if left untreated.
Three months later in March 2021 I finally got to see an endocrinologist, who specializes in Type 1 Diabetes. Who told me that an insulin pump would be a good device for me?
I was recently approved for an insulin pump that will help me better control my diabetes. Although I am happy that I am approved the hardest part is coming up with the funds to pay for the pump and equipment.
GOAL:$95/$340
PAYPAL
A donation of any amount will be greatly appreciated even if you can't donate but if you share the story against friends It will help. Thanks to anyone and everyone who is willing to help.
how tf are you homophobic/a terf if youre working with deities bro the gods are queer as fuck if i see anymore of that lgb/ fighting for biological womens rights bulshit people on my fuckin timeline imma pour some sriracha on a lemon and were gonna have a fuckin problem
Happy to share this mythological entity I painted for Isfet, a miniature boardgame set in ancient Egypt.
This is Kherty, an underworld deity. He was said to be the one to carry the spirits of the deceased to the afterlife and protect them from evil spirits, similar to the Greek ferryman Charon. It may be plausible to say Kherty was the original underworld deity before Osiris attained divine status.
Please let me know what you think!
All the best,
JCH
Every day is a reason to celebrate 🥂🥳
Time is running out
My campaign suffers from a severe slowness in obtaining this donations in light of the conditions of the League we live in Gaza from the siege, the high prices and the cold 🍉
As you know, my family of 22 members and I need about $100-150 today to live a fair life and meet our needs and the needs of our children, but unfortunately we get only $10 or 15 today, and this is not enough to withdraw it in the first place in light of the high taxes and the interest that is taken on the withdrawal of money due to the lack of liquidity in Gaza due to the closure of the crossings, so I appeal to you guys to share my campaign and donate to it if you can. In January we need at least $ 2000 but we have only got $2000 so far, time is running and I don’t know how I will feed our children and family next month if we are not provided with $ 2000 !!!!
Here is my campaign link through which you can donate and you can do that via PayPal also I will leave you the two links
