Happy New Year from Gaza to my Tumblr family. 🎉
I know I have been silent for a long time. We missed you all more than I can say.

Honestly? Lately, I have felt crushed. 💔 The cold here is freezing our bones right now. The wind cuts through the tent, and the weight of everything we have been through—the hunger, the fear, the exhaustion—felt like it was finally breaking me.

But then... I looked at my daughter Rokaya. 👧❤️

Despite the freezing cold and the empty stomach, she sits on the floor with her toys 🧸. She lines them up like students. She holds a stick like a teacher. She doesn't have a classroom, or a whiteboard, or even a real breakfast, but she refuses to stop playing "school."

She refuses to let the war take her imagination and willigness to learn and live.

Watching her, I realized: If this little girl hasn't given up, how can I? 💪

I know many of you have been worried because I disappeared. The truth is, I lost my phone 📵, simcard my only window to the world. I was locked in silence, unable to reach my brother, my best friend, or any of you. And while I was cut off, disaster struck: our previous campaign was deleted due to banking restrictions. 🚫

All the progress we made together... gone. We are back to square one in the middle of winter.

But because of Rokaya's strength, I am trying again. I managed to recover this account today, and we have created a NEW, fully verified campaign ✅.

We are starting from scratch. We literally need just ONE EURO 💶.

If everyone who sees this donates 1€ or simply REBLOGS 🔁 this post, it could be enough to buy our family a warm meal or a coat or Tarp for this week.

Thank you for not forgetting us. Let's make this year the one where we survive. ❤️
FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF YOU !
I will be verifying it again if needed

I seem to be living a very expensive lifestyle called eating food regularly

Hedonism fucking rules

i’m so kind but i’m so evil and bitter

i hope 68 becomes a funny number.

my record player is cheap as shit and the needle keeps skipping so i put a tiny pig on it as an arm weight

it’s lighter than a coin and working perfectly so i’m just gonna. not bother the pig

Glad to know that record player technology has seemingly made zero advancements since I was taping pennies to mine back in the 70s

The technology has advanced a lot, there's a pig now.
