may 2026 bring us closer to a Palestine liberated from zionist occupation, and a Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan free from proxy exploitation. May 2026 see more people gain the courage to make the world a little better than before. May we all remember to tend seeds whose trees we may never sit beneath. Consider donating to/sharing The Sameer Project, or Khartoum Aid Kitchen or Focus Congo. All power to all the people. Happy new year.
This is Farah. She is a fifteen-year-old autistic girl with kidney problems. Her mother reached out to me several months ago, and I tried to support her fundraiser as much as I could. Then the money of that fundraiser, their second already, was stolen from them.
So I knew the only way I could make sure this wouldn't happen again was by starting a fundraiser for Farah myself. And that is what I did. It was scary, but I haven't regretted it in the least.
Farah's mother, Wesal (@shahdgazza), and I speak every day, now. She has a lot of worries. Six children to take care of. A household to keep running. Providing food and clothes for the family.
She does not have it easy, and her health is not doing so well either. She suffers from migraines which she doesn't want to take medication for, because she would rather spend that money on something else. She also has a herniated disc in her neck that causes her pain, which was likely caused by carrying Farah when she couldn't walk due to her disabilities. On top of that, she doesn't get much sleep, causing her to be exhausted most of the time.
Farah's mother-in-law also suffers greatly. She has cancer and until October 2023 received treatment at the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital that was destroyed by the IDF earlier this year. Her cancer has now returned and she also suffers from kidney disease, though her problem is the opposite of Farah's. Farah's kidneys cannot retain potassium, which causes her body to go deficient; while her grandmother suffers from high potassium, which is a more well-known consequence of kidney disease. You can imagine how difficult it is for Wesal to provide the right kind of food for both of them. But she wishes to give her mother-in-law the care and attention she deserves.
"She doesn't have much time left, and I want to be at peace knowing that I haven't neglected her care."
This is the kind of care with which Wesal approaches all things in her life. She divides up her day between caring for Farah, for her other children, for her mother-in-law, raising funds on Tumblr, and organising the household and her daily needs.
Would you help her?
Will you help me make things easier for her? If the answer to that question is yes, I ask that you consider donating to Farah's fundraiser or to the Paypal I set up for her, which are keeping this family alive at the moment. I sent $500 to Wesal only a few days ago. If you are not able to donate, then please share this post, so it can reach those who have the funds available.
Do not underestimate the power that lies in simply sharing this fundraiser! That can be the way in which you help!
You can get a free commission by @/fablebagel if you donate $10 or more! Thank you, Fable. ❤️
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far. If you're not able to donate, at least consider sharing. Thank you.

💔 I am a mother from Gaza, living with my children in a tent that cannot protect us from the cold winter… and my husband is sick and struggles to move.
Every night, I listen to my children shiver under thin blankets, and I hold them close, trying to give them some warmth… but the cold is stronger than all of us.
Since we lost our home, this worn-out tent is all we have.
The wind strikes it every night as if trying to tear away what little is left of our lives.
My husband grows weaker day by day, and I have nothing but a heart that breaks for all of them.
We desperately need help—blankets, food, a better tent… anything that can protect my children from this merciless winter.
Your kindness could be the reason they sleep tonight feeling warm and safe.
Please… don’t leave us alone in this cold. 🤍❄️

Every day we wake up to the same reality: destroyed homes, no safety, no stability, and needs that keep growing.
People think the pain paused… but for us, it never did.
Even with a so-called “ceasefire,” nothing has really stopped.
The explosions, the drones, the fear — the violations never ended.
And our suffering definitely didn’t.
Your support is the only reason many of us manage to keep going.
Your donation 🙏🙏 — no matter how small — can mean medicine, food, warmth, and a little bit of dignity in a life that’s been stripped of everything.
Please, stand with us. Don’t let this struggle fade from the world’s attention.
We still desperately need you to get back on our feet.
