You Can Help Hammad Save His Family🍉‼️🫶🏻

VETTED BY ASSOCIATION; Hammad was referred to me through Safaa and her campaign (vetted by 90-ghost)

This campaign is created on behalf of a very valuable and dear friend of mine, Hammad A., who is dealing with devastating tragedy and loss that none of us in the empirical core could possibly begin to imagine.

Hammad is one of the most thoughtful, considerate, and hard-working people I know -- and while he has tried his best to provide for his family under these immensely difficult circumstances, he now needs our help to keep him and his family alive.

Picture this: Your life has been turned upside down instantly; everything you have worked your whole life for -- gone in an instant. Everything you once knew turned to rubble and destruction. Your home, where you grew up and created childhood memories with -- gone. Your job, where you dedicated your energy and effort into building a career you loved -- gone. The most basic necessities we take for granted -- warmth, fresh air, the ability to move around freely and safely -- ripped away from you.

These are only a few of the difficulties that Hammad and his family have been facing for over 464 days. 

As you understand by now, there is only so much resilience the human body can endure, and the urgent need to do anything you can to save your family is the exact reason Hammad has allowed us the opportunity to help him and his family be freed from the immense suffering and stress they currently face.

His tent was recently flooded, damaging the little items that he had after losing everything, and destroying the little shelter he and his family had to protect them against the harsh elements.

Hammad needs your help NOW.

Even the smallest amount is so highly valuable in lifting a margin of stress from the weight of this tragedy off the shoulders of Hammad and his family. Your contributions to these lifesaving funds are invaluable.

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

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

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.

I’m Farah, a young woman from Gaza living through unimaginable suffering. The war has brought famine, disease, soaring prices, and constant danger. We’ve been displaced multiple times, our home is damaged, and basic needs like clean water, electricity, and medical care are nearly impossible to find.

I was a medical student, but the war stole my education and dreams. I come from a family of seven, and while two of my brothers study abroad, I remain here, struggling to survive.

To my kind friends around the world — your support, even the smallest amount, can help me endure this tragedy. Thank you for standing with us.

#Free gaza

Ceasefire in Gaza 🚫🤚❗

Please don't ignore me, my friends.💔🙏🏻

I am Abdullah from Gaza. 💔My family of eight was forcibly displaced from Rafah, leaving all our belongings behind. 💔😭We used to live in Rafah, but the war forced us to leave our home and live in Khan Younis. We lost our home and my father's shop, our only source of income, and now live in a very small tent with no water, food, or sanitation. 💔Our lives have become miserable. Every little contribution is valuable, and your donations, big or small, make a huge difference to my family.🫂💔

How it feels to find a fanfic where your favorite character is going through literally the worst horrors you can imagine

[vinegar-n-salt]

[vinegar-n-salt]

your eyes are brown again

[vinegar-n-salt]

[ID: Two digital panels of Sasha James, and Jonathan Sims and Tim Stoker, respectively, both from the shoulders up and with casual clothes. In the first one Sasha is standing in front of an open door, light pouring behind her, as she says "Goodnight guys" with a big smile. Her lipstick is a little bit smudged. In the second panel Jon and Tim stand with a street at night on the background, both of them waving goodnight, Tim with a light nod and a smile to match with hers, while Jon looks at the side with an embarrassed expression, replying "Night ♥" and "uh huh" each. Tim spots lipstick on his lips, and Jon on his cheek besides his mouth. //End ID]

read my fic Lipstick stains, in which Jon, Tim and Sasha go on a not-date that it absolutely is and also Jon tries really hard to ignore his crush on his coworkers/friends :)

[vinegar-n-salt]

[ID: A three panels comic plus bonus with Tim Stoker, Sasha James and Jonathan Sims:

1 & 2: Tim looking at his malfunctioning laptop with an annoyed expression, and then turning to ask: “Hey, babe?” with an arrow indicating that he’s talking to Sasha.

3: Sasha, without stopping what she’s doing, start’s asking “What?” but it’s interrupted by Jon who hums in question.

Bonus: Sasha turning in surprise with a little smile and Jon frowning at her with a small embarrased blush, realizing what happened. There’s also a smiley face and a heart from an offscreen Tim. //End ID]

sometimes we need to draw silly comics of our faves being called babe! i guess!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ also starting the year with my favorite ship au: tim and sasha being a Thing and jon accidentally fumbling into the relationship lmao

[vinegar-n-salt]

[ID: Two different images featuring Sasha James, a black woman with curly black hair (long in the first image and short in the second one), round glasses and multiple scars, with Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood, a short and skinny dark skinned man with long white hair with black at the tips, and a tall fat white man with short curly ginger hair, respectively.

Image one is Sasha in the middle, being hugged tightly by both Jon and Martin. They’re all kneeling on the ground surrounded by recording tape, Jon crying loudly on Sasha’s neck with his hands wrapped around her back, one of Sasha’s arms holding him closer, while the other is gripping Martin’s arm, who is hiding his face on her hair and has his arms wrapped around both of them. Sasha is smiling big and crying. There is dry blood on all her clothes.

Image two is Sasha standing in the middle of frame from the chest up. The background is mostly green, a halo from recording tapes twisting around themselves extending from her, and at her sides the ground and the sky mix in striking brushes of red and black, above it bruise colored clouds with blues and greens circle around a big eye at the top of the picture, purple iris. Back to Sasha her glasses are dark, but behind one of the lenses a small, bright light illuminates it enough to know the light comes from her eye.//End ID]

HEY, just posted the first chapter of a season 5 sasha lives fic based on my friend @equalseleventhirds‘s tapes!sasha theory! Here are two pictures I made of it, I had two more ready but they’re spoilers of future chapters so ill post them later u_u
