Got a mystery papercut on my finger and honestly not sure if it wasn't eczema contributing to it.

Urgent!! Help Alaa seek treatment for Hepatitis B

I cannot believe that even after 2 weeks we have not managed to raise 10k for Alaa al-Amsee ( @alaakh99 ) !!

She is a Palestinian mother, who has been suffering terribly from hepatitis for more than a month. She was already malnourished and sick from having to eat breads made out of animal feed and now, she is vomiting continuously.

Alaa is afraid for her 2 children, who depend on her. Maria is only 6 years old and Hamza is 4. Alaa writes that her son does not know the taste of a restful sleep as he is both terrorized by the sound of explosions and tired from the pain of skin infections.

Currently at €7,205 / €100,000. She needs 10k by Sunday i.e. within 2 days! 

Funds coming in would mean she can  go consult a doctor for both herself and her son. 

The more the funds are delayed, the longer she and her family would suffer. So please don't ignore this. Participate in raffle and donate anything you can spare. Reblog if you can't.

I want to post again about my friend Lina @lina-zeyad.

She is a lawyer from the north of Gaza. She's fundraising to provide for her four sons and during this genocide. Currently, living in Northern Gaza is incredibly dangerous and Lina's family is constantly at risk due to the regular raids and attacks by Israeli forces. Things are going from bad to worse every single day, and things are growing more and more hopeless.

Lina's youngest son has become ill with hepatitis due to the poor quality of food and water, and without reliable source of food and water, her son will continue to get sicker as his body is wracked with malnutrition.

(ID in Alt)

Her fundraiser is going incredibly slowly. For months, they have not even been able to reach a quarter of their goal of $15,000 USD. Your kindness could save their lives.

I would love if we could work together to talk about Lina's situation and donate to her GoFundMe.

On behalf of my family, I extend my thanks to each and every one who contributed, to donations or participation, bringing us to this point, reaching more than 50%, achieved through your support and love. However, we still need you more than ever before; time is crucial. As time passes, circumstances become more challenging. My family and I continue to appeal to you. Your support is more than just support; it's like saving their lives and dreams. Ihope you will stand with me hand in hand to save my family and my sisters and to complete their education . Thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❤️.

‘The transcendence inside me is the living and ‘soft’ and has the thought that an oyster has. Could the oyster when torn from its root feel anxiety? It is disturbed in its life without eyes.

I used to drip lemon juice onto the living oyster and watched in horror and fascination as it contorted all over. And I was eating the living it. The living it is the God.

I'll stop for a bit because I know that the God is the world. He is whatever exists. I pray to whatever exists? It's not dangerous to approach whatever exists. Profound prayer is a meditation. upon the nothing. It's the dry and electrical contact with one-self, an impersonal oneself.

I don't like when they drip lemon upon my depths and make me contort all over. Are the facts of life lemon on the oyster?

Does the oyster sleep?

What is the first element? immediately there must have been two to have the secret intimate movement from which milk gushes.’

UPDATE: Water and Clothing!

Hussam put together 400 packages for the families at the Khan Younis camp he's located in. These packages contain 5 bottles of fresh water, each 5 liters and 9 packages pads, which will help about 400 families!

He also put together 150 packages of clothing containing abaya, underwear, clothes for women praying that covers whole body, blouses, hijabs, and pants.

The past few weeks, I haven't been able to upload as much but Hussam has seriously been hard at work! He purchased a fresh water truck of 4000 liter for the entire camp, which is greatly needed in this extreme heat. They also use water pumps for salty water but they require diesel to operate. Diesel is very scarce and costs about 42 dollars a liter!

Not only this, but Hussam put together an event for the children at the camp! He didn't have the chance to take pictures, but the kids really enjoyed it!

Please keep donating to HelpGazaChildren! This grassroots effort is helping so many people in Gaza when the world has abandoned them!

Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam with NO middleman in between! He also sends money to the North!
