frankcore june 2k25 update!

one week away from the end of the month and i haven't done this yet. good grief! somewhat even split of indie, pop and electronic stylings all around, a lot of it found through podcasts / radio shows, specifically no es computable hosted by the argentinian dj and producer mileth iman, lots of electronic-inspired music with an emphasis on synthpop and the like but with certain deviations to more straightforward techno, house, electro and jungle from time to time; there's been a lot of influence of madjestic kasual's q2 track roundup in the track selection as well as deep cuts' newsletter on albums he's been enjoying recently.

once again i'm gonna organize this based on the screencaps above cause i feel like it's less cumbersome to go through: kicks off slow and meditative with a track off the very notable hats by the blue nile, should check it out at some point cause i honestly thought it was going to be a lot funkier and brighter than the more lowkey number featured here, but i could be wrong and the album might sound completely different; on a similar wavelength, one of the newest blood orange singles pointed me in the direction of this durutti column song, group i've always Heard Of but never actually listened to, very warm and comforting track, quite apt for the upcoming (over here) spring season; similarly warm and tranquil is this nice indie pop track by the bilinda butchers, found this one through a japanese online radio by the name radio eigekai indies where you can end up finding a lot of extremely obscure music from all around the world (one that i wanted to include here but couldn't due to it not being available on streaming is the song arte y ensayo by spanish indietronica / shoegaze project sundae, also very good track); small switchup in vibe with the more nocturnal and 80s-inspired sophisti-pop of korean extraordinaire duo sumin & slom, you can almost always count on them to deliver some really standout material; one that, as mentioned above, i found through no es computable, turn-of-the-millenium indie synthpop sounds from spain, for sure a signature sound over there that has proved to be enduring and extremely influential over the years, this one in a more lowkey and almost downtempo fashion; a cut of the most recent album from post-rock/folk outfit caroline, an album that i should definitely get to sooner rather than later if tracks like the one featured here alongside caroline polachek or the track coldplay cover (unrelated to coldplay, not actually a cover) are any indication, beautiful harmonies and airy guitar-led instrumentation galore; to wrap up, a couple of dancier cuts: on the one hand, the signature funk revivalism as put through a filter of bedroom pop and lo-fi idioms you've already come to expect from nourished by time if you've delved into his stuff, with impossibly groovy instrumentation and forlorn emotionality in its lyricism ("i say: i love you! you say: whatever!"); on the other, from saint etienne, another revivalist cut but this time heading deep into the alternative dance sound of the 90s, very inspired by the frantic rhythms of big beat courtesy of tim rowlands from the chemical brothers on production, i'm more often than not, not a fan of music that actively forces me to be happy, but there's something about this track that sticks the landing for me and works well in its goal of creating this contagiously bright and cheerful energy.

the second third keeps things dancy as well: kicks off with a track from electronic r&b experimentalist vikter duplaix with an appropriate name, as it blends playful crooning with ondulating and glitchy synthwork; in a similar vein, though in a more modern nu-disco revival fashion, a spectacularly bouncy track from sam gellaitry which to my surprise has been going viral on tiktok and youtube shorts and the like, albeit in a slowed+reverb form; a newly-released product era SOPHIE track that i was not familiar with until its recent release (i've never been one to obsess over or deliberately seek out unreleased tracks unless it just so happens to come my way), very much in line with the brighter and poppier stylings of tracks like nothing left to say or just like we never said goodbye; in a bit of a mood change, a recent track from quinn heading deeper into a cloudy sample-heavy direction with impossibly catchy vocal melodies carrying lyricism filled with dread and paranoia; one more on the indie side of things, from newcomer operelly, delivering a mellow yet bittersweet slice of bedroom pop with wispy vocals and light guitar work; bit of a darker number from dk7, a joint project between techno producers jesper dahlback and mark o'sullivan, heading into a synthpop direction with downbeat atmospheres and despondent vocal delivery; keeping in tune with the synth-based direction but in a scrappier fashion, one of the most iconic tracks from german new wave act grauzone, with jagged-edged guitars colliding with analog synths and hollered vocals; closing things out in this third, back into the dancefloor side of things with a new track from forever favourites ivy lab, with their most effective dabbling into east coast club sounds to date, led by an instantly recognizable sample and pounding drum grooves.

and onto the last third: still on dance tempos, old-school electro grooves from james stinson's (aka the other people place, half of drexciya) sideproject elecktroids, i need to get more into electro and detroit techno in general, it's the most i enjoy anything techno related; another month, another track from pinkpantheress featured on the roundup, i'm very predictable, what can i say, she's also consistent in delivering solid pop tunes with uk garage influences and that also helps; somewhat garage-adjacent but decidedly less pop, from imperieux, strong shuffling uk bass grooves laying the groundwork for erratic, clanking and distorted synths, disorienting and haunting yet extremely hardhitting; starting to up the tempo, i'm always a sucker for liquid dnb and pop crossover, and i've been also eagerly awaiting a proper full-length project from james k in the vein of her most recent singles, and as luck would have it, she's definitely delivering some really good stuff, ethereal yet very impactful and surely a good sign of what's to come for the album; keeping things pop with more of a spanish indie slant, a track from seminal synthpop duo astrud, with strong, high-tempo electronics and playful and slightly ironic lyricism; for more pop from spanish speaking countries, a collab between two of the most promising pop acts in argentina, terra and juana rozas, the latter of which has already been featured on these roundups a few months back with her excellent most recent album, but don't sleep on terra either, i'm always interested in very unique and particular vocal stylings and she delivers with ease, and on this track, alongside the pc music-adjacent production from producer cimarron, both of them have great chemistry and are able to create a very infectious, addictive tune; doing a hard left into more instrumental stuff once again, pitch-dark minimal drum and bass from djrum, who you may have been seeing make the rounds for delivering some potent idm influenced by classical music on his most recent album, but at the moment i'm more partial towards some of his previous material, more straightforward in structure but no less adventurous in terms of sound imo; for something a bit more conventional, but worth the listen all the same, a skittering and booming trap instrumental from ssaliva featuring these larger-than-life-sounding synth lines, admittedly simple but very addictive all the same; closing things off once again with spanish indiepop, with this number from meteosat here being more uptempo and as such having a more outwardly punk flare than some other tontipop i've heard, while still keeping the lighthearted and cheeky lyricism you can expect from that scene.

and that about wraps it up for this month, tube it!

frankcore may 2k25!

its already halfway through june!! picks for the month of may go from fairly dour and downbeat atmospheres in some sections to more solemn and jovial numbers in others, probably one of my messiest roundups in a while so i figure it's best if i go about the breaking down of the playlist just by how it's divided in the images here rather than by genre as i usually do it.

first third of the playlist has the most downtempo-ey, slow-paced numbers: kicks off with a smooth r&b performance over a very wonky-like beat, always a big fan of combining both soundscapes together; i've gotten really into baths this year, his newest project is probably one of if not my album of the year, and obsidian, his second album, is also very very good, had a bunch of tracks i could've added to this list, ended up going with one of the most effective hooks in the entire lp; extremely hazy and blissed-out dream pop from maria somerville, whose album could easily be considered "boring" but it's the kind of thing where hookiness and immediacy take a backseat in favor of mood-setting and atmosphere building so you kinda have to go with the mindset of letting the album wash over you, as such it's somewhat hard to pick apart certain tracks, although the track featured here is definitely a standout for me allthesame; first single for the upcoming nourished by time album, very welcoming track with really bright vocal melodies and arrangements, a sorta larger-than-life vibe to it all; a couple of trip hop and downtempo tracks: a very airy and lowkey number from alternative-dance-and-a-big-etcetera group saint etienne, an almost minimal-dnb inspired track from australian dreampop outfit acopia, and one of many great tracks off the newest erika de casier album, a definite step-up from her previous full-length, honing in on downtempo soundscapes in a way where similarly to the maria somerville album, she manages to hit this consistent mood throughout the album that although not reaching the steep highs of her debut, invites you to sink into its pillowy atmospheres and dusty grooves; finally, a folkier cut from chilean act niña tormenta, went on the lookout for latinamerican indie folk late last month and at the start of this one while working on the playlists to play at a gig i and a couple of friends were hosting, and this track stuck out as a very inviting and sweet track with a good dash of melancholy in its spare acoustics, real nice stuff.

second third is a bit more danceable, fair bit of house and garage inspired tracks, with vaperror's blend of dusty house drum-machine patterns with really bright and wonky-like melodies, not dissimilar to stuff from artists like lone, alongside an impeccably smooth and inviting r&b vocal performance on a deep house beat from rochelle jordan, a must-listen artist if "electronic music x r&b" is something you're in the look out for, and speaking of, a track off the newest pinkpantheress project, that while i did mention in the last roundup that it's comparatively her weakest, it's still a more-than-above-average collection of short and sweet pop cuts, with the track featured here having one of the most infectious vocal samples on the album; continuing with danceable moods albeit with angrier and more aggressive tendencies, a cut off model/actriz's newest album which i ended up liking a lot more than their very acclaimed previous one, you could make the case that it's somewhat one-note but in this instance it works better for me, taking a lot more influences from dance music in terms of rhythm that i feel end up making for more engaging songs; on that same wavelength, newest single from bruxaria extraordinaire d.silvestre's hopefully upcoming album, focusing less on the drum patterns ubiquitous to funk as a whole and opting for putting the emphasis on ear-piercing (positive) siren stabs and throbbing basslines that seem to draw inspiration from turn-of-the-2010s electro house in terms of texture, being direct about it: it bangs; couple of hip-hop tracks with dissimilar approaches, on the one hand, a track from always consistent billy woods' newest project whom alongside ever-ellusive rapper despot bring out back-to-back potent and powerful verses atop a beat from el-p (!!!), and on the other, an incredibly infectious and immediate pop trap cut from one-to-watch chicago rapper thirteendegrees, carried by an impossibly catchy vocal sample off a classic house track; and to wrap up the section, the one outlier in terms of mood here, an almost angelic sounding track from local pop experimentalist sylvia meyer, with very spacious arrangements and ethereal yet striking vocals.

the last third is a whole mess of stuff: kicks off with a perplexing blend of trip hop drum breaks, guitars with some industrial rock flare and cloud-rap inspired r&b-ish vocals courtesy of uk experimentalist rainy miller, off of his most recent full-length; a brooding yet very soulful number from mourning [a] blkstar, a group that i found through deep cuts way back in 2020 and have been keeping tabs on their output since then, always very interesting, with great vocal performances and genre mixtures to boot; a track off the comeback album for stereolab, a band that i haven't been the biggest fan of, though to be fair, i'd only heard one other album of theirs previously (emperor tomato ketchup) and it didn't do a whole lot for me, but the more loungey, electronic tendencies of this newest record i can easily get into; one that i found through the 8485 feature, gore girl appears to be another new member of the witch house revivalism movement of the last couple of years, with this track here featuring icecold synth pads, distorted kickdrums and a hard-to-fully-parse yet impossibly catchy chorus; obligatory Guitar Music™ presence on the list, this time with a propulsive and warm shoegaze track from seminal band catherine's wheel, apparently part of the soundtrack for nowhere which is a movie that i have not seen but i do have a vague interest in gregg araki's work, should check out his work whenever i actually put forth the effort into watching movies and such lmao; next up, varying level of zoomer-core rap-adjacent stuff (sorry) going from a song by Trailer Park Homeless Man Bby Goyard which i found through him posting himself on a quote thread of the worst bars of all time (quote: "cookie bread so scrum-diddly-umptious"), to a track from jane remover's newest project which i ended up liking more than i'm willing to admit (i generally like her stuff well enough! it's just kind of humiliating to call yourself a jane remover fan, it's like calling yourself a jpegmafia fan, there's a whole stigma around it lmfao), i just can't deny the effectiveness of that hook and the crunchy, distorted sound palette, and finally a track off the newest lucy bedroque mixtape, another artist who should definitely be in your radar if you have any interest at all on the recent developments of hiphop and also pop to an extent, with this track having the serrated synths of an electroclash sample giving way to the percussion bounce you'd normally associate with rage (the genre) and a melodic but also hard-hitting vocal performance; wrapping up this third, a track from the newest shades ep, this time going in a jump-up direction, while still maintaining the grit and the pitch-dark vibes that define the project as a whole, arguably not their finest hour but still a more than enjoyable track.

lastly, the one track i would've liked to include on the list but wasn't available on streaming platforms is this lovesick by very secretary, another one that i included on the background music playlists for the gig me and my friends were hosting though i think this one didn't get to be played, track goes in a more slowcore direction with some violins here and there, all having a very autumnal afternoon vibe.

that's it for the month, tube it!

frankcore april 2k25 update

very near the end of the month and i still havent wrapped this up yet, im so incredibly inconsistent, it's crazy. anyhow, there's some pretty consistent throughlines this month: a fair bit of hip hop, loads of pop and r&b, some electronic stuff and a couple of emo tracks for good measure as well.

for the hip hop: kicks off with a track that i have to admit completely passed me by when it first came out, i genuinely didn't expect by storm to be dropping anything else, there could be a full project down the line which is exciting because their output so far has been great and it feels like they're taking the experimentation they were working with during bttigtp and building off of it extraordinarily; a track from one of billy woods' earlier albums with a glitchier more offkilter beat than the more organic drumless-inspired sounds he tackles as of now (you're probably gonna see him again in next months' list); a somewhat poppier cut from fakemink, one of the rising stars of the uk hip hop underground, that draws parallels from late-2000s/early-2010s electronic beats putting them in slowmotion and creating a one-of-a-kind urban nightlife ambiance; speaking of uk hip hop acts, we've also got jim legxacy's newest single, signaling that black british music is probably gonna hone in more into the pop rap influences and jerk rhythms as opposed to the more softer-sung vocal deliveries of tracks like nothings changed or aggressive, though we'll have to see when it eventually comes out; and to wrap up this section with even more uk hip hop related stuff, one of the most endlessly quotable and vitriolic diss tracks i've heard in a while off a project that's pretty much twenty minutes of grilling some random white boy in the uk scene for being racist, homophobic and just generally a colonizer culture vulture, and i wholeheartedly endorse a good lashing, as you would expect.

on the pop and r&b side: i was torn on if i should get this on the electronic section or the r&b one cause it's kind of both, but tirzah's make it up is a great example of the signature quasi-monotone and detached vocal stylings of the artist blending incredibly well with pulsating and spare house beats, always very singular and unique; the opener for gabby start's newest project, heading deep into 2000s electropop revivalism with chiptune-like synthlines and infectious grooves; the single that really hooked me into pinkpantheress' new project, which i would say is admittedly her weakest but it's still extremely solid, with plenty of undeniable hooks and very sweet instrumentation to boot; one from a uruguayan artist, local pop legend dani umpi meets up with argentinian producer julian desbats in straightforward yet effective synthpop/dance-pop record, with the track featured here having delightful sunset-ready deep house grooves and great hooks (llamen a anama!!!!!!); a new track from iconic uk pop/r&b trio sugababes with the unique vocal stylings and harmonies signature to the group now put into a more modern context with deep house rhythms and envelopingly sultry r&b vibes; an erika de casier track that my phone's media player shuffle really liked for some reason lmao, i feel like still is probably her weakest project overall but it's by no means a bad album at all, and this track with its whispered vocal delivery and subdued production is solid proof of it being a worthwhile listen all the same (you will also probably see her on next month's list as well); probably the most immediate cut off juana rozas' newest album, easily one of the best latin american albums released so far this year, featuring shapeshifting and hardhitting production with electrifying vocal performances and attitude; finally, and i can't believe i'm doing this, a pop rock track! admittedly, this 80s style of pop rock with influences from sophisti-pop and in the case of this track somewhat country-inspired as well, tends to be more pleasant to my ears than some other styles of pop rock, but in any case, very infectious hooks on this track, definitely would've been a surefire hit on your local oldies radio station.

the electronic representation this time around: capital-M murky 90s dub and trip hop goodness from smith & mighty; couple of ebm tracks, one from front 242, another from a split second, both featured on the first maquina total comp, when the term "makina" used to be associated with ebm and new beat as opposed to later evolutions that are more in line with hardcore edm; double dose of eprom as well, with the first installment being an impeccably wobbly and addictive piece of uk dubstep from his joint project with alix perez, and the second an absolutely killer and harsh hybrid trap track done on his own, both IDs that i had been waiting for a while now and i'm glad they're released now; finally, another one from an uruguayan act, post-club extraordinaire lila tirando a violeta with the opening cut off her most recent album, in which a barrage of hard-hitting and unpredictable percussion controls the airwaves on an almost-uk-bass rhythm, getting capped off by subtle ambient touches as it closes out.

and, the rest: rock experimentalism and spoken word from uk trio moin with a heavy emphasis on colin stetson-like saxophone lines and krautrock-esque percussion; could've fit this into the electronic section but anyhow, a classic of the bloghouse era, dance-punk outfit gossip being reworked into an electro house and new rave hybrid by seminal duo soulwax; quick emo section: one from a swedish act that blends screamo vocal delivery with more midwest guitar-work, and two from latinamerican acts, chile and peru respectively, that fall more in line with classic screamo aggression instrumentally; and finally, delightfully cheery folk that eventually leads into more subdued guitarwork more in line with post-rock from chicago school act gastr del sol.

tube it!

My name is Mahmoud Al-Halaq, from Palestine - Gaza - I am 29 years old. This message is addressed to every person who carries compassion, kindness, and love in their heart. After 470 days of war on Gaza, the destruction that has occurred, the displacement we have faced, moving from one place to another, and the loss and death of loved ones and friends, I found myself alone without a home or place, and even the prices of food are astronomical. The world has changed so much that life has become gloomy and boring. Therefore, I ask for your help in rebuilding myself, my life, and my family's life anew. You are our remaining hope in life. If there were an opportunity to work, I would not waste a minute nor ask for help from anyone, but I urgently need assistance for my family, my children, and the women to rebuild what has been destroyed and crushed in this devastating and painful war. Thank you for your time and support; we draw our strength and resilience from your support. 🍉

I am still alive, but every second feels like I am dying a thousand times from the pain, the constant thoughts of our tragic reality, and a future that seems so bleak. My family is still in Gaza, enduring unimaginable hardship, and they depend on me for their survival. I am exhausted, broken, and struggling to find hope.

I dream of a life where we can escape this endless suffering and reclaim our humanity. But I cannot make a difference without your support.

My family lacks even the most basic necessities of life—they have nothing.

Please consider donating to help me support them and others in dire need. Your generosity can save lives and bring hope where it is most needed.

This is not just a photo it’s our daily reality in Gaza.

I am a father of five, living under the harshest conditions imaginable. My children go to bed hungry most nights, and I feel helpless watching them suffer. There is no food, no clean water, and no safety.

I myself am injured from Israeli airstrikes, and my health is deteriorating. I’m in pain, physically and emotionally. I want to provide for my children, to see them smile again, to give them a warm meal — even just one.

What’s happening here is not a natural disaster. It is forced starvation. It is the slow death of innocent people, especially children, because they are being denied food and aid.

Your donation can change everything for us. Even a small amount can feed my family for a day. It can help me get medicine, water, and the bare essentials to survive.

Please, if you have anything to give, I ask you to open your heart.

Please Donate now:👇👇 👇

🌸 From One Mother’s Heart – Please Read 🌸

My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.

But life had other plans.

War has returned to our home. Again. And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.

There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.

I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.

Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.

This is my life.

This is my daughter’s life.

And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness. Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.

Why I’m Reaching Out Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.

That’s why I keep going.

I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.

How You Can Help: 🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity 🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources 🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war

💛 If you can, please support our journey here:

If you can’t give, please consider sharing. Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.

From My Heart to Yours Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war. But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.

I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.

Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring. We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.

With love and endless gratitude

#Urgent | UNRWA Commissioner-General:

No humanitarian aid has entered Gaza for more than three weeks, the longest period since the war began.

- Gaza's patients are without medicine, parents cannot provide food for their children, and hunger is increasing.

The threat of disease outbreaks in the Gaza Strip looms.

Last week, 8 UNRWA employees were killed in the Gaza Strip.

More than 140,000 people in Gaza have been forced to flee due to Israeli evacuation orders.

The blockade must be lifted and Gaza's crossings reopened for the flow of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies.

Pope Francis has been a voice of compassion and justice for the people of Gaza. As a humble Palestinian mother, I am deeply moved by his prayers and support—especially when he called for healing for my injured baby, Qais. We are suffering greatly, and I cannot afford the medical care my child needs. I kindly ask Christians around the world: in honor of Pope Francis’s message of mercy, please consider donating to help Qais recover. Your generosity can bring life and hope.

Pope Francis’s support for Gaza has been a light in our darkest times:

1. He has consistently spoken out against the violence in Gaza, urging peace and protection for civilians.

2. He has shown deep compassion for Palestinian women, recognizing our pain, dignity, and strength under siege.

3. He has reminded the world that children, like Qais, are innocent victims who deserve care and protection.

Inspired by Pope Francis’s love for peace and justice, I humbly ask again: please help me save my son. I am willing to do anything—even clean shoes in the street—just to keep Qais alive. Your donation is not just charity—it is a living act of faith and mercy.

URGENT: YOU CAN SAVE HAMMAD AND HIS FAMILY ❤️‍🩹‼️🇵🇸

VETTED BY ASSOCIATION: Hammad and his family are friends with Safaa [VETTED BY 90-GHOST]

$2,940 / $20,000

The last post about Hammad’s campaign is LOSING TRACTION FAST and DONATIONS ARE DWINDLING.

We need YOUR HELP to BOOST THIS POST: PLEASE REBLOG & SHARE ACROSS ALL OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA.

[DM FOR READY-TO-POST PICTURES & WORDS FOR HAMMAD’S CAMPAIGN SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS HIT POST]

Meet Hammad A.

Hammad is one out of 9 members of his family. He is the eldest boy and the sole provider of his family at the young age of 24 since his father has been battling heart disease, and consequently suffered a debilitating heart attack.

[TW: Close by sounds of heavy artillery shelling and bombing.]

Months ago, at the start of the war, the neighborhood that Hammad and his family grew up in, where they created and held so many cherished memories and bonds, was besieged.

For days, Hammad and his family were trapped, terrified, between the once stable, now crumbling, walls of his home that once brought comfort and privacy to him now threatened to crush him beneath the rubble and the violent shelling of bullets and bombs whistling past their ears through the air and decimating anything it came in contact with.

His family sat, hungry, terrified, praying to live, watching the sun make its rounds past the plumes of black smoke rising from crumpled homes that once lined their block. This is only a fraction of what Hammad has been forced to endure for the over 550 days.

He watched his beautiful home be destroyed — the memories of his childhood, destroyed; the hard work he and his family put into creating their home, destroyed; the pride he and his family had of their home, destroyed; comfort and security, destroyed.

So Hammad pitched a tent. In the face of exposure to harsh elements, forced conditions of unsanitary environments where disease and sickness spreads rapidly, and deprived of the most basic necessities with skyrocketing costs for flour, clothes, and shelter, Hammad persevered to keep his family alive and as safe as he could. He cared for his father as best he could, but his heart disease requires an operation that none of the besieged or otherwise destroyed hospitals of Gaza can do.

But a day came where deafening and core shaking sounds of shelling and bombardment shook the nearby area as they prepared food. Terrified, they ran for their lives. And when they were able to return, their tent has caught fire and burnt down, along with the few items in their tent that they were able to grab from their home before it was destroyed.

Faced with extreme hunger, thirst, displacement, and now the tent burnt down leading to more exposure to the harsh elements, Hammad’s father’s condition has only worsened. The resilience and strength Hammad has constantly and consistently shown only goes so far in the face of the lifeblood of his family suffering under such dire conditions, and I cannot bear for Hammad to have to endure the heartbreak of losing his father.

There is no more room for any more tragedy in his life. We cannot allow it.

While there is a lot of notes on the last post about Hammad’s campaign, traction has been dwindling fast and donations have been slowing down. I cannot emphasize enough the urgency of this campaign and how critically Hammad needs your help.

🚨 My Name is Nasr — and This is Our Cry for Help 🚨

I’m writing this with a heart full of pain and hope.

My name is Nasr, a young man from Gaza, and I’m sharing our story not because I want to—but because I have to.

💔 The war took everything from us.

In just moments, my entire world collapsed.

My mother and sister were killed in an airstrike.

My father is seriously ill and unable to work or provide for us.

Now I am the one responsible for my younger siblings—little children who have seen more horror than any child should.

We used to live a simple life.

We weren’t rich, but we had love and hope.

Now, we sleep under the open sky, surrounded by fear and uncertainty.

Every night, I wonder how I’ll feed them tomorrow.

Every morning, I’m just thankful we’re still alive.

This is not just my story. This is our fight to survive.

We are now struggling to afford even the basics:

A home, food, medicine, and safety.

Right now, we need your kindness more than ever.

Even $10 💵 can help us:

Buy food for the children 🍞

Get essential medicine for my father 💊

🌸 From One Mother’s Heart – Please Read 🌸

My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.

But life had other plans.

War has returned to our home. Again. And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.

There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.

I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.

Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.

This is my life.

This is my daughter’s life.

And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness. Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.

Why I’m Reaching Out Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.

That’s why I keep going.

I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.

How You Can Help: 🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity 🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources 🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war

💛 If you can, please support our journey here:

If you can’t give, please consider sharing. Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.

From My Heart to Yours Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war. But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.

I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.

Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring. We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.

With love and endless gratitude

🕊️ Please Take a Moment to Read Nadin’s Story

My name is Nadin. I never imagined I would write something like this. I’ve always been someone who kept her worries quiet, someone who believed that even the hardest days could be endured with patience and faith. But right now, I am reaching out — not because I want to, but because I need to.

I am a wife, a mother, and one of many women in Gaza trying to survive days that feel like they have no end. There was a short time — a brief ceasefire — where we thought things might start to heal. Where the sound of war faded for just long enough to let us breathe. But that moment is gone now, and the fear has returned louder than before.

My days are filled with uncertainty, and my nights with prayer. We have lost so much. Our home was damaged, our sense of safety taken from us. But through all of this, I try to keep going. I try to hold on to what little peace I can create with my hands, my words, and my love.

I am not asking for much. Just a little help to keep our lives from falling further apart. To fix the small things — a cracked wall, a leaking roof, the pieces of daily life that help us hold on to dignity.

This campaign isn’t just about survival. It’s about holding on to what makes us human in a place that keeps trying to take that away. It’s about showing my daughter — even though I won’t mention her name here — that the world didn’t forget us.

If you’ve ever felt powerless in the face of suffering, please know that even the smallest gesture can carry great meaning. A kind word. A shared post. A quiet donation. These things remind us that we’re not alone.

I am still here. Still holding on. Still believing that people out there — people like you — still care.

Please, if you feel moved, consider supporting or sharing this campaign.
