A new year under a tent and illness haunts me⛺🎆💔
With every new year🎆, people wish for new dreams and celebrate their hopes🕺. But for me, here in Gaza🍉 New Year's Eve🎆 is just another day in our dilapidated tent⛺💔 that has become my home and my family's since we were displaced ten months ago due to the bombing. We are eight people living in this small tent⛺😞, trying to protect ourselves from the cold that bites our bones and the winds that almost tear off our temporary roof.🥶💔
I am 15 years old, and my suffering is not only from poverty and homelessness, but also from the constant pain that accompanies me due to deformities in my teeth🦷. When I was born🫄, my mother was exposed to inhaling phosphorus gas🧨 during the 2008 war, which caused me to suffer from genetic deformities. My teeth didn't grow normally🦷💔, and I have difficulty eating and even smiling every day.😭🥹
The doctors told me that the only solution is to get dental implants🩺🦷, but it is very expensive💰, and requires traveling outside Gaza. The cost of the operation is about 1000 euros💶 for each tooth🦷, in addition to the cost of travel and accommodation✈️, which is a very large amount for my family who don't even have enough money to secure our basic needs.💰💔
A year has passed and we have been dreaming of a home that will shelter us🏢, and of a treatment that will end my pain💊. I want nothing more than to live like any normal child🧑💼, to smile without fear of other people's looks🥺, and to start a new year without this suffering🥹🎆.
I appeal to all merciful hearts😞 to help me achieve this dream❤️🙏. Every contribution, no matter how small, can be a lifeline for me and my family. Help me overcome my pain and build a better future. 🙏🥹
Every help, even if it's a small amount, means a lot to me and my family.❤️🙏🥹
Happy New Year my friends

A piece from my animated series I'm working on :3
Every url that reblog’s will be written in a book and shown to my homophobic dad.
What's he yappin' about?
Howdy Y'all.
This is my story in short, please share with me, 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.
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?
Currently the device you see in the picture is the most needed to control my diabetes.
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.

Hello, my name is Areej Kassab. I’m a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza, and I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for support. My family and I are enduring unimaginable hardships as relentless bombings devastate our home and our dreams.
We are a family of 15—10 adults and 5 children. Every day is a battle for survival. Food is scarce, humanitarian aid is not reaching us, and my little nieces and nephews go to bed hungry. Among them is my sister, who is deaf, and another sister who has a newborn baby. They, too, are suffering in this crisis, and I’m doing everything I can to protect and provide for them.
💔 A Life in Ruins The war has robbed us of everything: safety, peace, and even the hope of a future here. My family’s needs are basic yet critical—food, clean water, diapers for the babies, gas for cooking, and other essentials to make it through each day.
With rising prices and limited access to necessities, we are struggling to provide even the most basic items. My sister’s home has been destroyed, and we are working together to ensure everyone has shelter, food, and warmth.
✨ My Plea for Your Support ✨ I’m a writer, and I’ve been documenting the harsh realities faced by my community under siege. But words can only do so much. We need action, and we need help. Your kindness can save us.
🙏 How You Can Help

Your support will help provide food for the children, clean water for my family, and basic supplies to help us survive this unimaginable crisis.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing in solidarity with us. Together, we can create a lifeline for my family—a chance to live, to dream, and to hope again.
With love and gratitude, Areej Kassab ❤️
My name is Shada Kassab, and I am a 24-year-old mother living in Gaza. Every day is a fight for survival for me, my husband Hussein, and our baby boy Adam, who is just five months old.
Our lives have been turned upside down by war. My home has been reduced to rubble, and my husband lost his water truck, which was our only source of income. We’ve been forced to evacuate twice—from Deir el Balah to the Nuseirat camp—and now, we live in constant fear of what the future holds.
To make matters worse, Adam was born with clubfoot and urgently needs surgery. The cost for his treatment and specialized medical boots is at least $3000, but this surgery isn’t even possible in Gaza.
I recently graduated as a nurse, and I dream of building a better life for my family. But to do that, we must leave Gaza and start over in safety.
💔 I need your help to save my family and give Adam a future. Even a small donation 5$ can bring us closer to safety, and if you can’t donate, sharing our story means the world to us.
I dream of living in safety, of seeing Adam grow up healthy, and of building a better life for us all. Please don’t give up on us. Your kindness can make all the difference.
❤️ Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support and compassion give us strength to keep going.
