Since the ceasefire was declared, many people think things in Gaza are “over.”
But the truth is nothing has materially changed for us.
There is still destruction everywhere.
Food is still scarce.
Clothes are still a need, not a luxury.
Because of the ceasefire, donations have slowed, but our suffering has not ended 💔
My husband is still wounded and unable to work, and I am doing everything I can to keep my children safe, fed, and warm. We still urgently need money for food, clothing, and daily survival.
More than anything, I hope to leave Gaza as soon as possible so my children can have a future, but leaving requires resources we simply do not have yet.
We are so close now. Every donation, no matter how small, truly makes a difference.
Every share helps us move one step closer to safety, stability, and hope 🙏
Please don’t stop supporting us now.

We are reaching out during one of the most uncertain and challenging times of our lives.
What once felt like a stable and promising path has shifted unexpectedly, leaving us struggling to meet even the most basic needs. Daily life has become focused solely on survival, where things like a warm meal, clean water, and a safe place to rest are no longer guaranteed.
The hardship we are facing is overwhelming, with no reliable income or consistent support. Each day presents new difficulties, and access to essential resources continues to grow more limited.
This fundraiser was created out of urgent necessity. Your support will directly contribute to:
• Access to daily meals and clean drinking water
• Essential medical and hygiene supplies
• Safe shelter and sleeping arrangements
• Transportation to meet critical needs
No contribution is too small; every act of kindness brings light and stability into our lives. Your generosity helps restore a sense of peace, dignity, and hope in this incredibly difficult time.
If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this with others means the world. Thank you for standing with us.

Art forgery is the best crime tbh. It requires absolutely incredible artistic talent, technical skill, and attention to detail to make convincing fakes. Does anyone get hurt from it? No! The only people who suffer for it are the extremely wealthy who want the prestige of having original paintings in their own homes. It’s full of international intrigue and mystery. Perfect.
I liked this guy’s story, Mark Landis, who conned several dozen museums into displaying his forgeries, but when the FBI came after him they couldn’t do anything because he had always given them away as donations. They said if they could have found that he’d ever taken anything in exchange they would have prosecuted him, but all he wanted was get to out of the house and meet people.
“The first painting Landis “donated” was a copy of a work by Maynard Dixon, an artist well-known for his paintings of cowboys and Indians. It started as impulse, Landis says, but then “everybody was just so nice and treated me with respect and deference and friendship, things I was very unused to — I mean, actually not used to at all. And I got addicted to it.”” And it looks like all his forgeries are done with cheap materials, like markers and Hobby Lobby frames.
Ok, but Wolfgang Beltracchi is probably one of the best Fraud Artists in the world.
His career brought him millions upon millions of dollars and lasted almost 40 years. He finally admitted to painting fraudulent art after the white paint he used came under scrutiny.
“ Bob Simon: What do you think this Max Ernst would be worth?
Wolfgang Beltracchi: This one?
Simon: Yeah.
Beltracchi: $5 million, I think.
Simon: $5 million. And you can do it in three days?
Beltracchi: Yeah, oh yes, yes, sure, or quicker”
-From a 60 minutes interview with Bob Simon
In The interview with Beltracchi, he said that none of his forgeries are copies, they’re all original works that the famous artists could have painted.
“Beltracchi estimates he has done 25 Max Ernsts. He is not copying an existing work. He’s painting something he thinks Ernst might have done if he’d had the time or felt like it.”
- The Con Artist: A multi-million dollar art scam
His wife was also in on the scam, she would dress up in old clothing and take pictures holding the paintings with old cameras to fake proof of the paintings’ ages.
At the end of the interview with Wolfgang Beltracchi he was asked if he felt he had done anything wrong, his answer was “ Yeah, I used the wrong kind of paint”
Keating painted more than 2,000 forgeries by over 100 different artists in his sixty-six years. Many had fraudulently sold at auctions with the total profits estimated at over 10 million dollars. “I flooded the market with the work of Palmer and many others,” the artist said. “Not for gain (I hope I am no materialist) but simply as a protest against the merchants who make capital out of those I am proud to call my brother artists, both living and dead. It seemed disgraceful to me how many of them had died in poverty,” he defended in The Fake’s Progress, his autobiography. “All their lives they had been exploited by unscrupulous dealers and then, as if to dishonor their memory, these same dealers continued to exploit them in death.” […] Keating had a great respect and understanding of all the artists he imitated but was always reckless in his handling of the materials. He often used house paint and poster paint to mix in with his acrylics as a cheaper way to achieve the impasto works. At times he wouldn’t bother preparing his antique canvases he found at the junk shops out of laziness, so that in just a few years the paint would peel right off to reveal what was originally underneath. Keating often planted what he called “time bombs” like this in his paintings. Because of his understanding of the chemicals used in art restoration, Keating would purposely paint with layers of glycerin, which would destroy the painting once it was cleaned by a restorer, proving it was a fake. He often wrote obscenities under his paintings, like “Bollocks!”, in lead white so that it could be seen by the experts who x-rayed the painting to check its authenticity.
