My friend Ahmed is a studious, curious child, but Israel's genocidal campaign against Gaza has taken everything from him. His family lives out of a damaged tent, and rely on his vetted campaign for survival. They have struggled to afford enough food for many months. His body is starting to break down from this prolonged malnutrition, causing him to live with persistent dizziness, vomiting, and intense pain down to his bones.
Forced to Rebuild From Zero: A Father’s Plea to Protect His Children in Gaza 💔
We have been forced to rebuild our lives from the ashes so many times that I have lost count. Do not mistake this for temporary displacement. Do not insult our agony by calling it a "fresh start." This is not a new chapter; it is a brutal, exhausting fight to stay alive.
Again, I was forced to flee with my children and rebuild our lives from zero. Every time we move, I try to convince my children that the next place will finally be safer. Better. Permanent. And every time, we end up surrounded by rubble, fear, freezing nights, insects, rats, and uncertainty. 🏚️
I am a Palestinian father from Gaza. I am not asking for luxury. I am not asking for comfort. I am only asking for the basic human right to protect my children.
Today, as you can see in the photos, we moved once again into a damaged apartment because it was the only shelter we could find. The place is unsafe and barely livable.
It urgently needs:
Wood and plastic sheeting to close exposed areas 🪵🪟
Basic repairs to make it structurally safer
Mattresses and essential supplies 🛏️
Protection from weather, insects, rats, and disease 🪰⛈️
My children are already suffering from insect bites, skin irritation, exhaustion, and the trauma of constant displacement.
I swear to you — we have nothing left except the kindness of strangers. Here in Gaza, nobody can survive alone anymore. No savings. No stability. No safe shelter for my children.
Right now, I urgently need to raise $1,000 to make this damaged shelter barely safe enough for my children to sleep in.
Current Status: $10,857
Immediate Goal: $11,857 🎯
Our GoFundMe campaign has been stuck at $10,857 for five days with no donations (as of May 20). These donations have been helping meet the basic needs of my extended family of seven since November 10, 2024. I am now appealing to you for help.
Even the smallest donation or share could help us survive and create one safe corner for my family. I will continue sharing transparent updates so every supporter can see exactly how their help is used.

Finally left the person that was hindering my identity, I feel a lot better now since they’re gone, but luckily I can bark and howl with my friends unconditionally and be unapologetically myself ^^
Does anyone else stand on their tiptoes all the time because my legs are fucked up and being on tiptoes makes them feel more animalistic and no I don't just have a flat arch (I don't)
