🕊️ 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.

Help Nadin Keep Her Life Stitched Together

My name is Nadin I’m a mother, a wife, and just one of many women in Gaza who are trying to hold on — to hope, to our families, to any piece

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.

I shall shed my skin

and emerge a new person,

free from the tethers of the world.

Ink illustration painted over digitally. Please don't repost or use for A!

2 Corinthian pillars represent Greek influences on the Victorian era.

Societal class divisions: Bottom left woman (unclothed) looks up at the woman in the middle of the drawing, while the other woman looks in her direction with judgment. The unclothed woman’s hair is left undone and she wears simple pieces of jewelry, wishing for the influence and wealth that the woman in the middle has. She wears jewelry to try and feel as if she’s capable of fitting into high society, but fails to follow simple etiquette, like wearing lamb skin gloves, as she cannot afford them.

The woman in the very top is a nod to NYC old money socialites like Caroline Astor, who championed tradition and etiquette in high society.

The snake represents the inherent flaws of Victorian Society and the gilded ages, where wealth was built off the suffering of the lower classes.

The jewelry the woman on the bottom right is wearing reference the theft of Indian jewels during and after the British colonization of India, as well as the cultural appropriation of Indian and other ethnic jewelry by European jewelry houses.

Clock behind woman at the very top represents the passage of time within history

Intricate detail -> how we often see the grandeur and beauty of certain fashions, historical trends and l time periods while ignoring how and why they were able to exist in the first place (unrealistic & toxic societal expectations, colonialism, imperialism, wealth disparity, racism, etc). Basically how beauty and grandiose often make people overlook and ignore the true historical context

Eyes hidden in patterns represent judgement and enforcement of societal expectations
