The life of this child in the Gaza Strip is more important than the next post, so please don’t scroll past. Baby Ronza needs our help.

[plumpydoll]

Ronza is suffering from anemia and malnutrition and urgently needs care and attention, but the cost is high, and her family cannot afford it on their own without our support.

[plumpydoll]

She is in a lot of pain… she is just a baby, only one and a half years old, and she needs our help now. Please donate whatever you can to their campaign, even $5 or $10 can make a huge difference. But Zeina cannot do this alone.

Zeina is also a young child in the Gaza Strip, helping support her family. It is winter, the cold is harsh, they are living in a tent, and her sister urgently needs treatment.

[plumpydoll]

Please, give any help you can. And don’t assume that someone else will take care of it—because that may not happen. If you truly cannot donate, the least you can do is share.

WATCH: The 60 Minutes CECOT Segment

I was sent the CECOT segment anonymously in a group chat.

Unfortunately, I will die. Malnutrition and anemia are destroying my body. If you choose to ignore this, then you need to question your humanity.

[aboudspeaksagain]

No one cares about us anymore. I say this honestly. We are hungry and desperate in Gaza. Please donate, share, and speak about us before it is too late.

Guys, I’ve been in a hospital bed for 5 months and my condition keeps getting worse. If you can’t donate, please share.

Today my toddler INSISTED we open every sauce that came with our Chinese take out so she could sample every single one. She didn’t care for the spicy mustard, she LOVED the soy sauce, she said BLEH BLEH to duck sauce, and she said OH SO GOOD to sweet and sour

She then decided she needed to shove an ENTIRE crab Rangoon into her mouth which gave me a heart attack but she did in fact manage to eat the entire thing with minimal effort on her part. This was after she chanted “RANGOON RANGOON RANGOON!” at us until we gave her one.

Kids are fun and I am exhausted

“I don’t want to be a burden” you’re more like a relief, a gift, a blessing actually

[transgayaccount]

“i dont want to be a burden” dude i found the point of it all thanks to you. i realised the joy of existing is doing so with you bro

[dalniente]

"i don't want to be a burden" you're worth carrying. i don't care if you'd be worth it to you; you're worth it to me. i smile every time i think of you. and buddy you're just gonna have to figure out how to cope w that <3

[yamitamiko]

"I don't want to be a burden" human hands and arms and hearts are made for carrying.
