🌿 Help Me Achieve My Dream of Becoming a Licensed Physical Therapist!

My name is Yara, a physical therapy graduate from Gaza. Despite all the hardships, I completed my university education, but instead of celebrating my success, I now face an even tougher reality. We lost our home in the war, and my three sisters—who are also university graduates—and I are struggling to rebuild our future from nothing.

We are a family of nine, and my father is unemployed due to the difficult situation. My brother is preparing for his Tawjihi exams in the middle of war, and my youngest brother, Ahmad, often asks us for simple things, but most of the time, we can't afford them.

To practice my profession and help those in need, I must pay licensing fees. But with everything we’re going through, affording these fees is nearly impossible.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to achieving my dream, supporting my family, and making a difference in my community.

If you can’t donate, you can still help by sharing my story—every act of support makes a difference!

📌 To donate and support:

Salome Dancer

Artist: Robert Henri (American, 1865-1929)

Date: 1909

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Mead Art Museum at Amherst College, Amherst, MA, United States

Description

Broad, slashing strokes give powerful shape to this defiant female figure standing with parted legs, a pose more athletic - even pugilistic - than seductive. Her oppositional posturing matched the painter’s contrary aesthetic sensibilities. The Realist painter Henri sought a provocative and timely subject in Salome, the biblical figure who served as her mother’s dutiful pawn in facilitating King Herod’s assassination of John the Baptist. By the late nineteenth century Salome had evolved into a far more aggressive and decadent creature, as witnessed in Oscar Wilde’s notorious play of 1891. That Henri adopted the theme in 1909 suggests his desire to capitalize on Salome’s high currency for controversy, which had been confirmed by the New York Metropolitan Opera’s scandal-provoking performance of Richard Strauss’s Salome (based on Wilde’s play) in 1907. The gleam of amusement that enhances Salome’s haughty expression slyly evokes her complicity in constructing Henri’s own reputation as a radical painter.

“Day Thirty-Four

Handsome hunting heron, standing in the weir, our lives are lived apart yet our bodies are so near; as you wade across the water seeking fish to eat, I cannot help but wonder: do you ever get cold feet?

Serenely splendid heron, staring into river, the wind that blows your feathers is causing me to shiver; the setting sun is sinking, the ducks are flying home, I cannot help but wonder: do you ever feel alone?” ― Jez Green
