one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kidโข is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving.
DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOUโRE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE BEFORE.
I'm working with @fawnduu and @aphyray to raise funds and encourage donations to aid the people of Venezuela in the aftermath of devastating earthquakes, which were followed by flash floods. Here's how you can join:
Courtney and I designed two prints/stickers featuring wildlife symbols of Venezuela, such as the troupial, araguaney trees, and the flor de Mayo orchid. These are mini prints and die cut stickers that you can receive when you donate.
You can send proof of donation of at least $20 to printsforvenezuela at gmail, which is being managed by our friend and colleague @aphyray who will also be matching donations. The first $1000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar.
Find an organization here: donarseguro.com/en
We'll be accepting donation receipts throughout July, and we'll send out the prints and stickers at the end of the month in a plain ol envelope with a stamp. Dios bendiga a Venezuela โค๏ธ

My name is Hussam. I am a father, a husbandโฆ and I am trying to keep my family alive. ๐
Before the war, we lived a simple, peaceful life in Gaza. My wife and I were raising our six childrenโfour boys, one girl, and our baby daughter who had not yet turned one. Our home was small, but it was full of laughter, warmth, and love. ๐กโค๏ธ
Then, in a single moment, everything was gone.
Airstrikes destroyed our home. The walls that once protected my children turned into rubble. I still remember the soundโฆ the fear in their eyesโฆ the way they held onto me as we ran for our lives. I couldnโt take anything with meโonly my family. ๐ข๐ฅ
Now, we live in a fragile tent in a refugee camp. โบ
The cold does not wait. The wind enters from every side. At night, my children cannot sleepโnot because of noise, but because of hunger. My baby daughter cries in my arms, and I have nothing to give her. No milk. No warmth. Only empty hands and a broken heart. ๐ฅถ๐ถ๐
As a father, this is the deepest painโto see your children suffer and feel helpless.
Every day is a battle. I search for food. I try to keep our tent standing. I try to protect my children from sickness, fear, and despair. I am doing everything I canโฆ but it is not enough. ๐
I need your help.
I want to be honest with you: during my last fundraising campaign, I was scammed. At a time when we had nothing, we lost even more. It broke meโbut I refused to give up on my children. โ ๏ธ๐
Now, I have created a new campaign with the help of a trusted friend, so your support can safely reach my family. I am asking you from my heartโplease give us another chance. ๐ค
Your help can save my children. ๐
Even a small donation can mean: ๐ Food for my hungry children
๐ผ Milk for my baby daughter
๐ Medicine when we are sick
๐งฃ Blankets to survive the cold nights
Please, my friendsโฆ do not turn away.
If you cannot donate, please share my story. Your share could reach someone who can help save my family. ๐ข
Hussam is a father, a husband and a survivor.
From a father who is trying not to lose everything
I'm Yasserโฆ a simple man who lost everything ๐. I'm 27 years old, from northern Gaza ๐ต๐ธ.
My house was destroyed at the beginning of the war. We live in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza ๐๏ธ. I lost my job, and I was injured during the war and am still suffering ๐ฅ๐คโฆ Now I'm fighting just to keep my family alive.
I'm responsible for a very large family ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ:
๐ด My father is elderly and needs care.
๐ถ My young children are innocent.
๐ง My brother has a mental disability, can't work, and has children of his own.
๐คฐ My wife is pregnant and needs care amidst a complete lack of basic necessities. She needs so much, the simplest of which is clothing.
๐ง๐ง My children are Salwa and Massa. My little Massa was born during the height of the war. We were living in my sister's house when my wife went into labor. We were trapped and couldn't leave the house because of the intense shelling all around us. Miraculously, by the grace of God, my wife gave birth to Massa at home.
When we finally managed to leave a week later, the occupation forces demolished my sister's house.
Now we live in tents inside Gaza, destitute. The tents offer no protection from the heat or the winter. In the winter, we suffered greatly, and in the summer, the children developed skin diseases from the extreme heat.
There is no incomeโฆ no workโฆ and prices are sky-high. ๐ฅ
We are living through harsh days, caught between hunger and fear. We have nothing but hope in God and in your hearts. ๐ I never imagined I would have to ask for help, but todayโฆ I sincerely reach out to you:
Please extend a helping hand ๐ Any amount, even a small one, can provide food, medicine, and warm clothes for my children.
๐ We truly need any help, even the smallestโฆ It could mean a meal, medicine, or even just hope for life.
๐ค Don't leave us aloneโฆ Your support is our lifeline.
๐ Please, from a broken heartโฆ Any help, even a small one, could make a huge difference in our lives and help us to keep going and survive.
May God reward you all. Your support will be a light in our lives ๐ค
Hello
These are my children. One of them was born during the war inside our home because we couldnโt go to the hospital due to the intensity of the war we were living through at that time. Until now, the suffering continues, with shortages of food, medicine, and clothing. I ask you for your prayers and support.
Please share far and wide. We have no one else to turn to.
The occupation has announced that it will annihilate Gaza City โ and they have been murdering the journalists who are bringing the truth to us...
People do not want to leave Gaza City, as they are starving, weakened, and know that once they leave they will never return โ and they do not have a safe passage to the 'safe zones'.
People will be bombed and sniped either way... 123 people were killed within 24 hours, the death tolls are only increasing, the bombardments are ramping up โ so global pressure and support must ramp up..
Very little food is being sold at exhorbant prices. The trickle of aid getting in is not enough โ the airdrops that western and regional countries boast about are humiliating, they have killed people, and are filled with sand and mould...
Aid seekers have been shot, trampled, tear gassed... did you know that 1,600+ aid seekers have been killed in Gaza? They came with empty bullets, and got bullets instead... people have been kidnapped at these sites and held in detention... this isn't aid โ its slaughter.
The trucks that are getting in get looted, and fave heavy constraints from the occupation. Our donations are helping people get food, and they are helping people not have to risk their lives...
Without a doubt, your donations are crucial, and a lack of donations can sent people to their deaths...
Helloย
If you can afford to buy a cup of coffee, you can afford to help Mohammed Youssef ( @mokahaed ) and his family... he has five children โ and they have been subjected to genocide and torture that no child should ever have to face... ever.
They are verified, number 88 on the @/gazavetters list ... and also verified here.
The last donation was 44 minutes ago as I write this.
"After our homes were completely destroyed, displacement number 14 has now been made from Al-Tuffah neighborhood in northern Gaza. My family of 27 and I do not own anything due to the sudden flight from the area. We do not even have the most basic necessities of life. No food, no clothing, no drink. I was not even able to bring a tent due to the urgent evacuation request from the area."
The bombing has returned again. Every day there are heavy airstrikes and many martyrs. Yesterday I lost some of my relatives, and it feels like these may be my last words before we are bombed.
This link is our last hope. Iโm not forcing anyone to share or donate โ you are completely free to choose. But the bombing has returned again, and every day we live through fear, loss, and unbearable pain. Yesterday I lost some of my relatives, and I truly donโt know if we will survive the next attack.
If you can help, even with a small donation or by sharing this link, it could save my familyโs life. There is nothing left for us except hope in kind people.
Please help my daughter to get the medicine ๐๐ญ

Hello and thank you for visiting our page. My name is Kristina and I am helping raise funds for Alaa, a single mother in Gaza trying to surv
Hello friends,Please, I am asking for your help and support. My fundraiser is moving very slowly, and my daughter Fatoum is very sick. As you can see in the photos, she has developed a bacterial infection caused by insects and the harsh weather conditions.Her condition is getting worse every day.
We are living through the horrors of war in every possible way. Every day there are innocent children and civilians being killed. My daughter is an orphan. She lost her father in the war, and I do not want to lose her too.
Please, if you can, support and help us. I am only trying to provide the most basic necessities of life for my family and get the care my daughter needs.Any donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference.Please donโt ignore our plea. ๐ฅบ๐ญ๐
My name is Maram, I am 25 years old from Gaza. I dreamed of a peaceful life, spending my life with my husband and my three children... but the war turned this dream into an impossible one ๐๐ญ. We lived through this genocide with all its painful details and we are still suffering from it๐ญ. We were so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in northern Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the south of the Gaza Strip. After repairing a small room in our destroyed house, we began to live there and start over. Unfortunately, the war came back, and it was even stronger than before ๐. Now, we have no shelter or source of income. We have used up all our savings during the war. I know I created my campaign very late, but that's because I have no other means to help my family ๐. I am completely confident and hopeful that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these tough circumstances ๐.
I know how painful and frustrating it is to start over from scratch, but I hope to get any amount for my family ๐ฅบ๐.
My name is Maram, a Palestinian woman from Gaza. I am 26 years old and a mother of three children: Malik (8 years old), Ibrahim (6 years old
So, please, donate to my campaign, even if it's a small amountโit will have a big impact on us ๐ฅบ. May God bless you, my friend ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ.
My baby Qais will die because his surgery is delayed. As an oppressed mother in Gaza, I am forced to postpone his surgical procedure โnot by choice, but because this post is ignored and not shared.
I will not forgive anyone who watches my child fade and scrolls past without mercy. One share delays his deathโbut one donation can end this waiting and bring his surgery closer today.
Every minute without a donation steals something from Qaisโhis strength, his breath, his chance to live. I beg you as a mother: please donate now. Your donation is the difference between life and loss.
My baby Qais has run out of medicine, and I urgently need to buy a new supply, but I simply do not have the money. To everyone who helped us before, I am begging you from my heartโplease consider supporting Qais again today. Your kindness has kept him going, and he still desperately needs your help.
I am a father of two children ๐จโ๐งโ๐ฆ from Gaza ๐ต๐ธ, currently living through extremely difficult humanitarian conditions after losing my home due to the war ๐, and I am now displaced far from my original place of residence.
Life here is filled with daily challenges ๐, especially when it comes to providing basic needs such as food ๐, water ๐ง, and care for my children.
My children are everything I have in this life โค๏ธ, and I am doing my best to provide them with the minimum level of safety and food, but the current situation is very hard, and sometimes I cannot even provide them with a proper meal during the day ๐ฝ๏ธ.
I also want to be able to provide my children with their school needs ๐, such as supplies, stationery โ๏ธ, and basic materials that help them continue their education despite the difficult conditions ๐.
I am only writing this because I have reached a point where I can no longer manage on my own ๐. Therefore, I am asking for help from anyone who is able to support, even with a small amount ๐ต, as it may help feed my children or ease part of our suffering.
Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a big difference in our lives ๐ฑ. And if you are unable to help financially, sharing this post ๐ข could reach someone who can, and that would also be a great support for us.
I still believe there are kind hearts ๐ค that can help in times of need.
Thank you to everyone who read this post ๐, and thank you to everyone who helps or shares the message.๐ฅน๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ
