A mother's plea: Help us survive and protect my child who was born in war.
My name is Sahar. Like any young woman, I dreamed of a stable and happy life. I was engaged to Mohammad, and together, we dreamed of building a warm little home where we could start our life. We spent years preparing our house, but just before our wedding, everything was destroyed in an instant by the war.
I was faced with a choice: to leave Mohammad in the midst of this chaos or to stand by him and begin our journey together, no matter how difficult it might be. I chose him. We got married, not in the dream wedding I had envisioned, but under the harsh reality of war. Our new home became a fragile tent, offering neither comfort nor security.
After we got married, I received the news that I was pregnant with my daughter, and I live in constant fear for my unborn child. I am terrified of the world she will be born into—a world of poverty, hunger, and bitter cold. We have been displaced from our home more than nine times, carrying with us nothing but the burden of loss and the hope of survival. The house we dreamed of is now rubble, and the tent we live in barely protects us from the rain and cold.How will I protect my daughter? We struggle to find enough food. Basic necessities like milk, blankets, and clothing feel impossibly out of reach. The cost of survival has become unbearable. Every night, I am haunted by the thought: how can I bring her into this world, knowing I cannot keep her safe?
After a long pregnancy filled with pain and fear, after nights without sleep, I finally gave birth to my baby girl. She was born in the middle of bombing, surrounded by destruction and poverty—not in a warm room, not in a safe place. Her first cry mixed with the sound of explosions, as if she was announcing her arrival into a cruel world she never chose.
I gave birth to her with nothing but my heart. I cannot promise her anything. Poverty surrounds us from every side, and the cold reaches her tiny body before night even comes. My baby and I are suffering deeply, not because we ask for much, but because I am unable to provide her with the most basic needs: milk, warmth, and safety.
When I look into her eyes, I feel strength. When I look at my empty hands, I break down in tears. I am a mother trying to save her child from hunger and fear, in a world that has shown no mercy even to the dreams of children.😢🥹

From the depths of my heart, thank you for your kindness and compassion🥹❤️🙏
I am Inas, a mother of two young children: Muhammad, 7 years old, and Hala, 5 years old. They should have been living their childhood like all children—safe and warm in the embrace of their father. But the war has stolen that dream from us😭😭😭
Six months ago, my husband Anas, a kind-hearted man who endured a life of poverty, was killed by a random shell while on his way to work as a taxi driver. Since that tragic day, I’ve been left to carry the unbearable weight of life alone.
I held a diploma in international secretarial studies and was about to start a job to help support my family. But the war shattered not only our home but also my hopes and dreams. We’ve been displaced six times and now live in a tent that offers no shelter from the bitter cold or the ever-looming fear.
My young children face relentless hunger that weakens their fragile bodies and a cold that knows no mercy for their small hearts. Each day, their cries for warmth and food grow louder, and each day, I feel more helpless to provide them with even the basics of life💔😭😭
I appeal to your humanity, to your compassion. We need your help to survive, to find a safe shelter, and to feed my children. Your generosity could be the reason Muhammad and Hala continue to live and find hope amidst this darkness🥹
Please, help me keep the light of these innocent children from being extinguished by this cruel world

Hello, I'm Lama... My husband, Mohammed, is 30 years old. I want to ask for your help for my husband. Please support him and share his story so that it reaches everyone.🙏
My husband, Mohammed, has suffered from numerous health problems for 12 years, and the situation has worsened during the war due to shortages of medicine and healthy food. He urgently needs surgery and medication.😔
Hello, I'm Lama from Gaza, I'm 24 years old, and my husband Mohammed is 30 years old, we got married in 2022 in a beautiful, warm and quiet
The costs of treatment and medication are very high; please, every donation from you will contribute to his recovery.
Please help my husband, donate to him, and share his story so he can recover and get the medicine.
✅️Vetted by @gazavetters , my verified number on the list is (#568)✅️
Please help me, my husband needs medication and vitamins. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference and help my husband recover. This is a picture of the medication he needs daily, and it's very expensive. Please, just donate. 🙏
Today, we rushed him to the hospital because of severe anemia and his wound worsening, and I had no choice but to give him expired medicine because I cannot afford proper treatment.
I beg you as a persecuted mother in Gaza, watching her child suffer without being able to help him. Please, don’t leave us like this—donate now and help me save my baby Qais.
Tight squeeze makes me viscerally uncomfortable, great job. It’s SO evocative. Oooo the symbols…THE SYMBOLISM….
thank you! i love hearing the different reactions to tight squeeze bc they vary so much, it's especially interesting hearing the ones that really differ from my original intention with the piece. i'm glad that it resonated with you
my submission to the fursona self portrait prompt of the upcoming i love furry exhibition ^___^
i designed this doll so that it could also be used as a stop motion puppet, with poseable limbs, moveable eyes, and replaceable mouths (i'll include some detail shots in a reblog)
i modified this pattern to create the body, and all the clothes are from patterns i made myself

I turned 18 today, and today marks the beginning of my 19th year in the Gaza Strip. Since my birth, I have witnessed seven devastating and deadly wars, filled with fear, death, and hunger. Today, as I write this post, I am in the Gaza Strip, where the war of extermination continues. For three years now, we have been completely besieged, starved, displaced, and killed with internationally prohibited weapons, subjected to starvation and denied food.
From the day I was born until today, I have never left the besieged Gaza Strip because of the blockade imposed on us by the Zionists. Today, for the past three years, no one has been allowed to leave the Gaza Strip, and food, supplies, and water are severely restricted. We are suffering greatly. The Zionists have robbed me of all my ambitions and dreams since the day I was born.
I hope this year will be different and that I can achieve at least some of my dreams. But until that time comes, I desperately need your help. We are in dire need of your support and assistance. Please make this day different and help me share this post and donate.
Happy Birthday Nader, I hope the coming year is better for you than the last.
Nader can do little to celebrate since he is trapped by the seige on Gaza and his family struggles to survive. Please, wish him a good Birthday and give what you can, so he might spend his special day with even a tiny bit less of a burden on his shoulders💚🎂
