My story began with the loss of my parents and four of my sisters who were bombed and lost their lives along with their children after the events of October 7 and the severe war on Gaza. Now, my wife, children, and I are displaced, without parents or siblings, living with our little cat that we embrace among us.
Recently, I moved to the south of the Gaza Strip, fearing for the lives of my children. We left behind our memories and our new home, for which we had not finished paying the installments, in addition to losing my job. Currently, I live in a tent that does not protect me from the heat of summer or the cold of winter, and without the minimum necessary livinng basics including water, food medical care, clothe and even bedding .
Under these difficult circumstances, after five attempts at displacement and narrowly escaping death from the bombing, I am trying with all my might to protect my family, the most precious thing I have.
My dreams were shattered, and my house was destroyed, and I found myself living in a tent no larger than 4 square metres. My work turned from a tailor to a street vendor in order to barely buy a few crumbs of bread to feed my children.
My main goal with this donation is to protect my children, my wife, and our scaredy cat and evacuate them to a safe place away from the ongoing wars. The funds will be used to cross the Egyptian border and bring basic needs and treatments to create a more stable conditions for my family. Approximately $18,000 will be allocated for travel expenses, and around $6,000 for securing suitable housing for a couple of months. As for the medical treatment costs, the exact figure will be determined after undergoing examinations in hospitals in the Arab Republic of Egypt & it gonna be in average $8,000. The remaining amount ($8,000) will be used to establish a small project to sustain our daily living, enabling me to provide for my children and wife.
Every donation will make an enormous difference in helping me save my family.
I feel very sad and embarrassed to ask for help, but I have no other options left. I know that this request is difficult, but I also know that there is still humanity and living consciences and I believe in miracles.
Your support during this extremely difficult time will give us hope in the midst of devastation and despair.
If you have any inquiries or questions, feel free to ask me, please!
Sincere greetings & thanks
I'm sorry if my English is bad, it's not my first language!
Having different kind of animals with different kind of personalities really makes you appreciate every kind of love manifestation*-*
I've been out of my home for almost two days and one second after putting my foot inside my lovely, little cutie pie of a dog came running to me and spent ten minutes literally ON me, licking and light biting until she tired herself out.
The loveliest of the storms.
Two seconds after she finished it's the turn of my lovely potato of a cat (one of the three). She's much more discreet, and she limits to sit on my lap and purr SO loud, with her intense, emotionless stare. Not that she needs many expressions to demand cuddles.
Point is, they express love in different ways, but none of this ways is better than the other. All of their behaviours show the love and affection they have for me, and I can receive and notice it because I know how they show it.
I think it's the same for people. Every person show love differently, an example can be neurodivergent people that show love differently from neurotypical people. But if we are receptive to all kind of love manifestations we could see it in places we never thought before!
(I am excluding the types of toxic "love")
thinking that what happened “wasn’t bad enough” is a sign that it was.
your brain wouldn’t be trying to protect itself from the reality of what happened if what happened didn’t hurt you.
questioning if your trauma “counts” as trauma is a sign of trauma.

Oh my goodness*-* I love everything about this, it feels so kind*-* and it's so helpful*-*
I remember hearing several years ago that people were getting burnt out on the overuse of the word “mindfulness”, which is super unfortunate. I hope it doesn’t have too many negative associations for you, because it’s a super practical skill!
One of the most important things (to me of course) that I've learned as an ex-jw is that having doubts is a good thing. Before, if I had doubts about one of the teachings, that meant that my faith and my loyalty towards Jehova (and the Organisation) weren't strong enough. And that was my fault obviously. I had to work harder to get rid of those doubts, I had to study more, I had to pray more, and of course I couldn't stray away from the informations that were given to me. All the other sources, other than the watchtower, were of Satan, I couldn't trust them. There were only lies outside this particular religion and outside the organisation.
Outside of this toxic, controlling environment, I was very happy to be able to use these other sources and what I learned will prevent me to be brainwashed again in that way forever.
The thing is, if I hadn't been so scared of doubts, if I had acted on them and asked my questions, did my research etc... I could have been able to leave that place long before I did, and I don't know If I would have been a better person than I am today, but I surely would have been a person who made their choice with their head.
A reasonable Doubt, is what make us grow. It makes us grow as individuals, it makes us grow as a society. It makes us wonder why things are the way they are, and if we see that something "normal" is wrong, it makes us fix it.
Let's be doubtful of the world we live in, and let this doubt fuel our curiosity and our desire to improve the world
The total number of journalists targeted and murdered is approaching 40 at this time (11/5/2023). If you count the total number of journalists or their families that have been murdered it's approaching 100. Multiple journalists have had their whole families wiped out and are still reporting and working to expose the genocide.
Keep talking, keep posting their work. They've been forced to sacrifice everything for every scrap of information hat makes it out of Palestine
