Hello, my name is Nadin I’m from Gaza. I’m a graphic design graduate. I’m a wife. And now — I’m a mother.
I finished my design studies just before the war began.
I had dreams of starting a small design studio, of making art that told stories. I used to think about colors, fonts, sketches. I used to think about the future.
Then the war came.
And the future became something we tried to hold onto, moment by moment.
On October 22, 2023, I was pregnant when a missile destroyed my husband’s family home.
25 members of our family were killed — his mother, his siblings, his nieces and nephews, children. Entire branches of a family tree gone in seconds.
We were displaced twice after that.
Everything we had disappeared — home, safety, routine, rest.
A few weeks later, I gave birth to our daughter.
There was no crib. No stillness. No celebration.
But she came into the world quietly and beautifully.
And in her eyes, I saw something I hadn’t felt in weeks:
life that still wanted to grow.
Now, I spend my days holding her and trying to build a world around her that doesn’t shake with explosions.
We don’t know what comes next.
There is no clear path. We are walking toward the unknown, step by step — with our daughter in our arms and hope as our guide.
🧡 How You Can Help
This is why I’m asking for support. Not for comfort — but for survival.
To help care for one baby girl who entered the world after everything else collapsed.
My name is Nadin, and I’m a mother from Gaza.
If you can spare anything, it will help us:
Cover basic needs, so we can breathe and heal
Support a path toward even the smallest stability in a place that has none
My husband manages the donations securely through a U.S.-registered Stripe account.
Everything is converted to USDT and exchanged here in Gaza.
The rates are difficult — $100 becomes only 195 shekels (July 2025) — but we use every shekel carefully, with full transparency and documentation.
🎨 Sharing a Piece of Me
I want to share more than my need.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll begin posting some of my graphic designs from before the war.
They are pieces of who I was — and who I still am.
They may not be perfect, but they hold something real:
my story before the silence, and my belief that beauty can still live alongside survival.
If you’ve made it this far, thank you.
If you can give — thank you.
And if you can’t, just sharing this post is a form of support I will never forget.
One of them is because it’s a movie about a co-ed, full-contact sport where the most legendary player is a woman. And a young boy is seen idolizing that woman so much it’s a defining part of his character, but no one ever gives him grief or says he should look up to a boy.
Sure they’re all animals but I still appreciate the message.
beavers are one of those things you just accept without question as soon as adults tell you about it as a kid and then many years later in your adulthood you look up one day and go wait, what do you mean there exists a species of rodent hydrological engineer that knows how to build properly ventilated freestanding houses for itself, that doesn't make any sense
I love that Maximus is a heroic character, but in a way that's flawed, relatable, and human. I think the scene that sold me was him rushing to save Knight Titus, and immediately stopping once it's clear he's going to scapegoat his ass. Like yes, actually, I think that's what most of us would have done. I sure af would have.
Also I like that on one hand he's grateful to the BoS for rescuing him, but he's not a fanatic. When he and Lucy found Vault 4, I assumed he was going to hate it no matter what for simply not being the BoS. But same as her, he's willing to learn from the world around him, and change his mind. By the end of season 1, he's gone from wanting to be a Knight to wanting Happily Ever After with his sweetie in a vault.
Anyway, I'm blocking anyone who says Maximus is boring. He's not boring, you're just racist.
Poker Face really feels like the sort of show that people on this website would go crazy for and yet I feel like no one on here cares about it, like Natasha Lyonne as a Colombo-style nomadic detective with a borderline supernatural ability to tell when someone’s lying who calls herself a “grown ass man” and “just some guy”, a murder of the week style plot and weekly episode releases as opposed to the entire season dropping at once, created by the same guy who made Knives Out and potentially even takes place in the same universe considering the main character appeared in Glass Onion, and a colorful, 70s aesthetic YALL GOTTA GET ON THIS SHIT
