Idk man it’s just my comfort show now

Could you imagine watching your own child sick, suffering, even dieing in a hospital bed--and not being able to do anything?

Maram is a 26 year old woman living in Gaza, currently caring for her destitute family, who all experienced a violent bombing attack on May 22nd by the Isreali occupation. During this attack, her middle son Ibrahim was horribly impacted and requires IMMEDIATE surgery for his injuries. As of June 2nd, Maram needs $2,000 to pay for Ibrahim's emergency surgeries, that he could possibly die without. (Donation page linked here)

Ibrahim is 7 years old. This is the age where kids start elementary school. They learn to jump rope, decide their favorite book, laugh and play in the yard. Imagine the grief and trauma instilled in that young of a mind. He is in constant pain, trapped isolated in a medical tent, facing possible death. How do you reconcile that? How do you explain that even, to someone who's life has barely begun?

Every second in this situation counts. Over the past two months, we've managed to raise over $650 for Maram's son Ziad, and their whole families well-being. I KNOW that we can do more. Maram is moving mountains for her children, but she can only do so much on her own without income. She is begging for our help. As before, with every proof of donation over $1 to Maram's campaign, I will give ANYONE a fully colored sketch commission of anything they would like. Please, even if $1 is all you can give, if you've never given before, or given 10 times; I urge you to do so now. If you can't donate, sharing this post makes all the difference !!

This post has been incredibly slow going, but since I made it 4 days ago, we have raised $200 out of $2,000 for Maram!! A pretty small amount compared to what we need to get to, but nothing to sneeze at !! Thank you so so much to everyone who is donating. I reiterate again, PLEASE share this post when you can, I only have so many followers and the only way it can reach more people who may have more money to give is by breaking containment from my blog(s).

I have received no requests yet, which is fine, however if you're restraining from donating from fear of overwhelming me, it would not be so ! No matter if you want art from me or not, I urge you to please please keep donating. Ibrahim has now not had the surgery he needs for over 2 weeks, and every day only gets more dangerous for him. We need to show as much help as we can to this family.

Here is a message that I received from Maram this morning. This is a desperate mother begging for help for the one thing that matters more than the world; her children, and I am devestated that I don't know more how to help. I urge everyone to please please, keep sharing and donating. There has been no donations since yesterday.

#hello! it's me again--this is my post!#if youve ever liked my art you can get a request too@

I have a fantastic update about Maram!

If you haven't been following her story, Maram is a 26 year old Palestinian woman currently living with her 3 sons (9, 7, and 4 years) in Gaza, who's lives have been ravaged by the Isreali occupation and bombings, which destroyed their home. Since then, she has been scraping by on donations to her campaign (linked here), scrounging in any way a mother can to provide for her family; without the stable income, housing, food or medicine that they need.

Over the last week, thanks to your donations and reblogs, Maram was able to raise the full $600 for her youngest son Ziad's surgery! She's shared that Ziad has had his procedure, is feeling much better for it; and he's expected to make a full recovery! I cannot overstate how happy and grateful I am to everyone who has helped. The situation in Gaza is an unacceptable standard of living for all, and even surviving is a daily challenge. This one family now has one less element of suffering to bare, and that is no small thing.

At time of writing, Maram is currently $4,657 away from her full campaign goal of $30,000. I thought, if we could raise $600 in a week and a half, think what more we could do for this family in a month, or two months, just by giving what we can or sharing to those who can instead!

For the foreseeable future, I'm going to continue doing free sketch requests for donaters who send me proof of transaction to Maram's campaign. If you donate anything $1 and over, you can request anything you like! I will draw for any fandom, OC's, or even real life friends / family! For a donation of $15+ I will add flat colors, and the higher the donation the more detail / time I will put into your piece. Here's what you can expect from these sketches:

Please, if you have donated before, or never donated to any mutual aid funds--I urge you to donate now. No matter if you want my art or not, it goes to a great cause to support an impoverished family who is struggling to make ends meet in the midst of a genocide. I've spoken to Maram, and she is unendingly kind and humble, grateful for every penny someone has to give, and simply wants a good life for her children. Even $1 can go a long way to help this family's daily struggle!

Maram needs $154 by May 17th in order to get her son Ziad his completed treatment and medicine's. There has been no donations since I made this post. I urge anyone who sees this to donate, or REBLOG and share!! It costs nothing to help spread a post!
