Homeless LGBT couple needs help!!! (Anniversary Edition!)

Hello everyone!

My family and I are still dealing with being homeless and this year overall has been rough on us. I've been doing what I can to try and find work and a place to live but until we have some breakthrough, this situation is going to continue like this or worse. My health hasn't improved any and it's getting to the point where it's hard to stay awake. I have my next appointment soon, but with my appointments getting canceled at random, it's been dragging out. April is my wife's and my 21st anniversary and our first year since getting married and it would really mean a lot of we can spend this month with less stress and regular access to food.

I am asking around for help covering a motel room, food, important bills, and other necessities while we look to escape this situation. The weather has been unpredictable and between the cold rainy days and the random scorching hot days, it's making my health and pain so much worse so having shelter is important right now. Please share this where you can if you see it and any help making ends meet is greatly appreciated. My notes have been getting high lately without a lot coming in so please don't assume that notes means we're getting what we need. Thank you to everyone who has helped us so far.

🌟 A Cry for Help: My Family’s Struggle to Survive in Gaza 🌟

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

Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to securing the essentials we desperately need.

Share Our Story: If you can’t donate, please share this post to help us reach others who can.

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 ❤️

This is for every person who has a heart and for every person who has emotions and feelings. Have you ever felt the loss of the person you love the most? Have you felt sleeping in a tent in the street while the rain falls on you? Have you experienced your house being bombed on your head and your family dying and you being the only one left and your foot being injured and when you want to treat your foot it is amputated without anesthesia after the occupation destroyed 90% of hospitals? Have you experienced many things that are unjust to humanitarian laws? Feel with us, we are human beings like you. We had jobs and a normal life, but Gaza is no longer the same as before. All those who live in Gaza have lost many things, but now we are looking for something to live on and fate brought me here for you to donate and participate with me. Be with me and fate. Thank you to those who helped with anything. Don’t make me cry. I am waiting for something from you to make me happy. This is not everything. I mentioned some of the pain we are living. You can donate here to make hearts that have been broken happy.

I am Sami Al-Khalili, a displaced person living with my family in a tent in the middle of Gaza. 🏚️ We have no shelter, no clothes, and no food. Our home was destroyed over our heads, and we lost everything. As the new year approaches, we are still in tents, facing cold and hunger with no hope. ❄️🍞 A donation of just €5 or €10 could make a huge difference in our lives. Please help us by donating and sharing our post. 🙏

Gondwana presents the overlapping narratives of antiquity. A densely forested region in central India, it was named after the Gonds living there […]. In these dense forests British geologists believed they had found the oldest rock systems of India. These primitive forests and rocks became the foundation for theories of the existence of a prehistoric southern supercontinent. The Austrian geologist Eduard Suess named it Gondwanaland after this region.

The imagined supercontinent has led to real landscapes.

—

There is a game reserve called Gondwana in South Africa and a rainforest by the same name in Australia, both having derived their identity from the ancient geological land mass.

In addition, […] its geological denominations have lent it racial and cultural significance and the term Gondwana is used to describe Afro-Asian cultures. […] Early historical texts refer to Gondwana as a densely forested region. Although never recognized as a political entity, it was the most common term used to describe huge parts of central India. Thus Gondwana is simultaneously a geological, anthropological and historical site. Suess never travelled to Gondwana. As he put together his grand supercontinent from Vienna, he relied on the researches of those who explored this and other colonized regions. In doing so, he did not appreciate the cultural, political and philosophical settings from which the early texts emerged. Yet, the ideas of primitivism implicit in the texts from which Suess derived his ideas became embedded in that imaginary and primitive southern continent. […] [P]rimitivism was essential to nineteenth-century colonialism, in which the conquest of landscapes also entailed the conquest of their deep past.

—

Here, deep inside this coal mine, we begin to understand why geology, ethnology and history were so entangled in Gondwana. […]

It was an outcome of the conjoined studies of ‘man and nature’ which the British undertook in India. The search for primitivism crossed the sanctified disciplinary boundaries of anthropology, archaeology and geology here. It was in their search for the other India in the middle of the nineteenth century, during the so-called ‘mutiny’, at a time of missionary encounters with caste Hindus and tribes, in the search for an India that was not […] mutinous – an untainted, wild yet passive India – that British explorers searched for and found their Gondwana.

This is a history of the colonization of a landscape, its deep past, myths and resources. […]

—

[T]he British residents of Nagpur met in the Central Museum of the city to form the Antiquarian and Scientific Society of the Central Provinces […]. A year later, in 1865, a massive exhibition was held in the ramparts of Sitabaldi fort where the British rulers of the Central Provinces displayed their colonial possessions to the natives. […] Coal was the most important product on display at the exhibition, along with livestock, rice and wheat. The British also displayed the cotton gin, sugar crushers and other industrial tools that transformed the natural resources of Gondwana into industrial commodities.

In this intersection […] lies the story of colonial state formation and the consolidation of resources, both human and natural.

The British saw an innate connection between the primitive Gondwana and their own colonial modernity, powered by coal, woven by cotton and nurtured by […] missionaries. […]

[T]he Gonds, their myths, forests, histories, their black soil, coal, all of which were at the same time being colonized, appeared pliable to alternative interpretations.
