I'm Laila Shaqoura, a displaced person from northern Gaza to the south, specifically the city of Rafah. Amid this ongoing aggression, there is no glimmer of hope except through you and your support for us. Let me tell you the story of my mother and her unborn child during this war.
Amid this destruction, my pregnant mother faces countless challenges. She suffers from malnutrition due to the lack of healthy food, which puts her and her unborn child at multiple health risks. The insufficient healthcare and weakened immunity have led to her contracting hepatitis, anemia, intestinal diseases, and preeclampsia. Additionally, the psychological pressure from the war and displacement exacerbates her suffering. The constant worry for the family's safety and the fear of the continuous intense bombing last night resulted in high blood pressure, imbalance, and fainting this morning. It was a terrible morning.
Despite the sounds of artillery, gunfire, bombing, fear, and anxiety, a new life continues to form inside my mother's womb. She carries the hope for the future, but the war has stolen her ability to dream. She not only carries a child but also the burdens and pains of war. The pain of her pregnancy is intensified by the weight of war and its sorrows. She carries life in her womb while war destroys life around her. Sometimes, we wonder: will this awaited child live in such a shattered world?
At this moment, I wonder if the war will take this awaited child from us before seeing the light of day.
Rafah is no longer safe, and the sounds of bombing intensify every night. There is no time to escape death. My mother's health is deteriorating. There is no healthcare. We want her to stay alive. This matter concerns the lives of two people (a mother and her child). Let's extend a helping hand to those who have lost everything. Your donation can give new life and hope for the future.
Don’t trust random accounts asking for money or donations. I’ve already gotten a few that are clearly using real life tragic events to scam others, so please be mindful.
The last tweet of Ukrainian paramedic Iryna Tsybukh says: "It's my birthday soon and I'm very proud that I made it to 26". She was killed on the frontline a few days before her 26th birthday.
hey, everyone. thanks for the support. i figured i might briefly explain my situation, although there's way more layers into this, the post would be way too long if i explained everything though
yesterday, after days of family troubles (or years, rather), me, my brother and my mom found out my dad died of suicide and left us with no money. we are all honestly shocked and my mom has to now find a job to survive, may i also add how she actually studied in university in russia and has all the shit to get a good job, she just doesn't have a citizenship because our dad didn't ever give a shit about giving her one in 20 years, so she has trouble finding jobs.
if you want to help in some way, my brother is taking comms and he draws dinosaurs and stuff alike, i might consider opening them too if i figure out stuff but i already stress myself with drawing for free
in the meantime i probably won't be as active as i was. i read all your messages and asks, i just really need some time to recover. thank you and i'm sorry for making you worry
Yooo, fellow fannibals, I need to discuss something with y'all
I've noticed a pretty common use of the word "w*ndigo" (uncensored), referring to Hannibal's Stagman look.
I'd advise against using that word uncensored and to Hannibal's Stagman. Hannibal's Stagman is just that - a Stagman. W*ndigos aren't deer cryptids. There's something called Deermen (Local Ohio Cryptid) that people mistake w*nds for. They are actually corpses that consume human flesh and are made that way but greed and gluttony. You have Hollywood to thank for that mix-up.
Saying it uncensored invokes the creature, and personally, I'm superstitious in certain aspects, and those are a part of those superstitions. Please refer to the Stagman properly!
[TLDR]
W*ndigo isn't a deerman it's a corpse. Saying the word itself is bad. Hannibal's creature is a Stagman. Please use proper terms!
