Sometimes when I’m out in public my hijab feels heavy. Not because of the fabric’s physical properties but rather of the emotional implications of representing my religion everytime I step out the house. It feels as if every thread is ready to snap upon any mistake I make. And other days my hijab is as light as a feather. With strings that attach it to the sky keeping my head tall. My relationship with the hijab and with modesty continues to fluctuate I’ve seem to realize. However the love remains there regardless of the day for I believe love to be an active choice you make every morning when you wake up. And every morning I wake up and despite the weight of the hijab I put it on for I love my Rabb and what he commands of me. I think this is definitely a reminder i needed for myself recently

Disabled communities! Can we help Boshra raise enough funds to evacuate with her family? ❤️🔥
You can donate at bit.ly/boshrafund
Boshra is an 18 year-old with muscular dystrophy. Her condition has worsened due to the scarcity of resources during the genocide in Palestine, and because she was infected with Hepatitis A. Boshra’s father has deep vein thrombosis, a herniated disc, and other painful conditions. Boshra is living with her family of 20 in a tent in Rafah. The tent frequently flooded in the winter and is now incredibly hot due to the summer temperatures. The lack of clean water, food, housing, medical care, and everything makes these conditions intolerable for Boshra, who needs a special wheelchair and toilet for basic living.
She needs to evacuate ASAP, but cannot go alone. She needs the rest of her family with her. Boshra has raised enough money to register two people of the six she hopes to evacuate ASAP. She needs enough now for four more people, each at $5,000 USD. This means she needs at LEAST $20,000 USD more ASAP! This does not even account for the medical costs she will need for care after evacuation. We need donations now, any amount possible! 💵d
Please note that the fundraiser is in Canadian currency and the evacuation goal is in US dollars! You can use this converter to convert your intended donation to CAD before sending it in!
