My name is Mohamed, I’m 37 years old, and I’m originally from Gaza. I left home in 2015 seeking safety and a better life. Since then, I’ve worked hard to build something stable here in Belgium—but recent events have left me overwhelmed, heartbroken, and in urgent need of help.

In late 2023, during the ongoing war in Gaza, I lost my mother. Around the same time, we also lost our family home—just like so many other Palestinian families. My sister and her five young children were left with nothing, stuck in a war zone, terrified and vulnerable. Their father is missing, and they had no one else but me.

In January 2024, just before the Rafah border was fully closed, I managed to get them out and into temporary safety in Egypt. It was a race against time, and I used everything I had—and more—to make it happen. They now live in a small apartment in Cairo. I am the only person supporting them.

I’ve been covering their food, rent, school expenses, clothing, medical needs—everything. The children are still young, and I consider them my own. They are the last close family I have left, and I cannot turn away from them.

Recently, I underwent knee surgery, which left me unable to work. At the same time, my debts have grown from trying to keep everyone afloat. I’ve never asked for help like this before, but right now I don’t see another option.

My dream is to bring my sister and her five children here to Belgium, where they can finally have safety, education, and the future they deserve. But the process is costly, and I simply cannot manage it alone anymore.

For safety reasons, I am not sharing my full name publicly. But I hope my words reflect the truth and urgency of this situation.

Your support will help me:

- Repay the urgent debts I’ve taken on to get them to safety

- Cover their ongoing living and school expenses in Egypt

- Afford the legal and relocation costs of reuniting them with me in Belgium

I know many are struggling, and I don’t ask this lightly. But any support—whether it’s a donation, a share, or a kind word—means the world to me and the children I’m fighting for.

Thank you for reading my story, and for standing with us in this time of need.

For the past month I have been partaking in a monthly drawing challenge.

A preface and first week

This isn't the first time I've done so, but it is the one I have done to such a consistent degree.

When I saw the prompts for a full month of PREHISTORIC mermaid designs, I immediately jumped into the challenge. The prompt choices were varied, and also filled with plenty of obscure genera. Many of which I probably would not have drawn otherwise, I mean, have you heard of Cycleryon? Eretmorhipis? Yawunik??? Die hard paleonerds probably have, but even I was unfamiliar with some of these prompts..

With so many different and varied creatures with different forms, body types, and biological families, it proved quite the interesting challenge to portray them as unique and coherent mermaid designs. But this is part of what made it fun to do, I've had to think outside the box for some of them, and even for the more straightforward ones, I've done my best injecting my own creative juices in making interesting Prehistoric Mermaids.

Credits to the prompt by Subjectively on YouTube, or @magik_jack_art on Instagram. I have been following him along for some time for both his fakemon and creature designs, and they are just genuinely creative and fascinating.

With that out of the way, let's get on to the first round of Mesozoic Merms:

Week 1: Triassic

Day 1: Conulariida

The Conulariida are a group of shelled cnidarians that lived from the Edicaran period; some 545 million years ago, all the way through the late Triassic period. They were sessile animals that likely possessed tentacles to capture prey.

My first thought when I saw this prompt was "what the hell is this?" And then afterwards "It's a marine flowerpot." Flowerpot or not, this was what I had to work with. I went with a gorgon-inspired look, and she turned out pretty cute for a day 1 piece. Looking back, she did end up looking a lot simpler than many of the later works in both concept and execution, but I still like her regardless.

Day 2: Cycleryon

Cycleryon was a crablike decapod that lived in the Jurassic period (not Triassic! I didn't make the prompt!). Anachronism aside, My design for it was fairly straightforward. At first I didn't quite know what to make of this creature, but after looking through many species of crustaceans and the like for color reference, something suddenly clicked:

Tokusatsu crab.

It's probably the least human-like of my Mesozoic Merms, but they're an interesting one to me.

Day 3: Eretmorhipis

Eretmorhipis is a marine reptile from the Triassic of China known for its broad, fan-like fins (its name literally means "oar fan").

You can clearly see where the influences lie, now :]

Her color scheme is personally one of my favorites. A little bit of Chinese water dragon, and a touch of lotus flowers, all wrapped up in an elegant assemblage of flowing fabrics, fans and bows.

Day 4: Cyamodus

While it looked like a turtle, Cyamodus was actually a Placodont, and a member of Sauropterygia (for non paleonerds, Sauropterygians included animals like Plesiosaurus). It was a durophagous, feeding on hard-shelled organisms like shellfish.

This one partly inspired by ancient Chinese armor, which some of them did use turtle shells! (I know it isn't a turtle, but close enough.) I still went in with the details though, including the hair tied in reference to the segmented shell, and all that damn armor detailing..

Day 5: Chinlea

Chinlea; named after the Chinle Formation, was a freshwater coelacanth, not unlike the modern day genus Latimeria, though it did go extinct by the end of the Triassic.

I was suggested by @temoti to give her a lil meat on her bones, and thus, we have ourselves a chubby Coelacanth for this week!

I'll be honest she might be one of my favorites I've done for this week. The colors, the personality, even the little freckles sprinkled on her.

Better watch out for that Saurichthys though..!

Day 6: Trematosaurus

Trematosaurs were large temnospondyl amphibians. Uniquely for amphibians, they were tolerant of saltwater, and as a result, one of the few fully-marine amphibians.

My design was.. certainly an interesting take on the animal. I was looking for a way to somehow integrate the creature's long snout as part of her design, and I eventually landed on a long cap. It took several redos of the sketching and color scheme before eventually deciding on a fire-bellied newt, and leading into a spunky streetwear-inspired girl by the end of it.

This month's designs were all originally planned to be 'one shots', but I like to think that she and the Chinlea gal would make a cute duo. A spunky, hotheaded gal and her more laid-back companion. Might make art of the two in the future, we'll see!

Day 7: Prosaurosphargis

Capping off the Triassic week, Prosaurosphargis was a fairly recent discovery (2023 at the time of writing).

It is a member of the Saurosphargidae (another family in the Sauropterygia) from the early Triassic period 250 MYA, only 1-2 million years after the Great Dying that wiped out

On to the Mermaid — or I suppose Man in this case, I don't have much to say, but I did reference leatherback turtles, and free divers. Oh, and I can't forget the cute little ammonite.

That's it for week 1's works. I'll soon get to posting the rest, and eventually all of them..! Once I get to finishing them...

Freè palestine

My name is Noor, and I am a mother of three children, living in Gaza. I am 32 years old, and my children are Yamen (5 years old), Tala (11 years old), and Yara (9 years old). Our lives were filled with hope and dreams before the war changed everything. Now, we find ourselves with nothing but devastation around us, and no one to turn to.

My husband has been missing since the start of the war, and we have no information about his whereabouts or condition. Our home was completely destroyed, and in the midst of the destruction, I was severely injured by an airstrike, which left me with severe damage to my right and left hands. I can no longer move my right hand, and I have undergone two surgeries so far. My left leg also had to be treated with a metal plate, and I am still recovering.

But perhaps the hardest part of all this is that I am unable to provide food for my children. I look into their innocent eyes, and I can't tell them when they will eat again. I can’t bear seeing them go to sleep hungry, not knowing when the next meal will come. This is the unbearable reality we face every single day.

Today, I turn to you, asking for your help. We desperately need assistance with food and basic supplies. We need your help to survive this nightmare, to bring some hope back to our lives. Your support, no matter how small, will mean the world to us and help us through this overwhelming struggle

Please, if you can help in any way, know that you will be giving us more than just food—you will be giving us hope and strength to face another day.

May God bless you and reward you for your kindness. Whatever you give will not go unnoticed, and it will remain in our hearts forever.

[temoti]

This is my daughter Amal. She will not be able to sleep because of the severity of the hunger, and if she does sleep, she will wake up to the sound of intense bombing. I am very afraid for her because she is not safe from hunger or fear. Save us, people. Save my daughter. Support us so that we can get out of the hell of Gaza.

My Journey to Escape the War in Gaza

My name is Abdelmajed. I never imagined I’d be sharing my story like this, but life in Gaza has become unbearable. I am a survivor of the war here, and in the blink of an eye, everything I once knew—my home, my safety, my community—was ripped away from me.

The war has transformed Gaza into a graveyard of broken dreams. The buildings that once stood as symbols of life and resilience are now piles of rubble. Every corner is filled with the echoes of explosions. Every moment is shrouded in uncertainty. There is no security. There is no stability. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Basic needs have become luxuries. Food is scarce. Clean water is even scarcer. Hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced, and there is almost no medical care to be found. Every night, families go to bed hungry, praying they’ll wake up to see another day. The cost of basic necessities has skyrocketed, and it’s become a daily battle just to survive.

I’ve seen things I never thought possible—standing in long lines for a piece of bread, rationing every drop of water, and watching my people suffer in silence. I have lost everything—my home, my safety, my dignity.

Escape from Gaza is my only hope, but it’s almost impossible without financial help. The cost of evacuation is far beyond my means, and without support, I’m trapped in a warzone with no way out.

I’m reaching out to you now, in the hopes that someone, anyone, can help. I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance—just a chance—to live. A chance to escape this never-ending cycle of fear, destruction, and loss. A chance to rebuild my life somewhere safe, where I can begin again, where I can find hope once more.

Any amount you can give will help me get closer to safety. Even the smallest donation will make a difference—it could be the lifeline I need to survive. If you are unable to donate, please share my story. The more people who hear it, the better the chance that I can find the support I desperately need.

Your kindness and support mean the world to me. You’re not just helping me escape a war; you’re giving me a chance to live, to rebuild, to breathe again.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for caring.

🌸 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

What Strength Really Means 💪

✅️ Vetted by @gazavetters {537}✅️

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔
