Starting off my challenge to make 1 zine every week until march, it’s some of my favourite baby birds!
I’m doing this challenge to try to kick my habit of overthinking and never starting stuff, though I will admit I’m posting this now on my self-appointed deadline day because I spent the whole week overthinking, gotta start somewhere I guess. Once I forced myself to just sit down and just start drawing it only took me an hour which makes me feel a bit silly
Dear friends… 🤍
My name is Fadi. I am 32 years old, a father of four children 👨👩👧👦.
I am writing to you from Gaza 🇵🇸—a place where pain has become part of our daily life, and fear never leaves us.
In this war, we didn’t only lose our home 🏚️—we lost our sense of safety.
My wife and my daughter were injured by the bombardment 💔.
I saw the pain in their eyes and could do nothing but pray and endure.
As a father and a husband, this helplessness breaks my heart.
Today, we live in a tent ⛺, facing cold, hunger, and harsh days.
We walk through the markets with tears in our eyes 😢, unable to provide even the simplest needs for our children.
Sometimes my children go to sleep hungry, asking me about tomorrow… and I have no answer.
I am not asking for much 🤲—
just a chance to live with dignity,
to provide medicine for my wife and daughter, food for my children,
and warmth to protect us from this harsh winter.
If you cannot donate, please share my story 📢—
it may reach a heart that is able to help.
Any contribution, no matter how small, can save a life 💚.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Fadi from Gaza 🇵🇸

‼️Please don’t skip taking a look 🍉🇵🇸
This tent has been our home since the beginning of the war on Gaza. After our warm home was targeted, I hope you can help us travel and rebuild our home. 🙏🏼🍉

My name is Yasmin. I am a mother of three—a boy and two girls. My eldest son is 12 years old, and my youngest daughter is just two. We live in Gaza 🇵🇸💔
Like so many mothers here, I dreamed of raising my children in peace, giving them love, warmth, and security. But the war has stolen that dream from us time and time again.
Before the war, our life was simple but full of hope. My husband worked whenever he could, and I took care of our home and children. We didn't own anything luxurious, but we had each other.
Then the bombs started falling.
We lost everything.
I, Yasmin, am asking for your help. Not just for myself—but for my children, who deserve a future. Who deserve warmth, food, and a safe place to sleep.
Any donation, no matter how small, makes a difference in our lives. Even sharing this message helps it reach those who can give.
From one father's heart to another, thank you for reading and for any act of kindness. May your compassion help us through these difficult times. 🕊️❤️
My name is Aboud, I'm a 23-year-old from Gaza 🇵🇸💔
I was born and raised under siege. I learned to fight for life, not with weapons, but with patience, hard work, and dignity.
Before the war, I worked hard to support my family. Life was difficult, but I had dreams. I believed in building a future, despite the hardships. But everything changed when the war broke out.
I witnessed death, loss, and destruction that no human being should have to endure.
When the ceasefire was announced, we thought we finally had a chance to start over. We returned to our neighborhood, only to discover it had been declared part of the expanded "yellow zone." The entire area was razed to the ground. Our dreams were shattered for the second time.
I launched this fundraising campaign late, not because our suffering has just begun, but because I tried for so long to cling to hope and face this situation without asking for help. But now, I have no choice.
I, Aboud, humbly ask for your help.
Help us rebuild. Help us keep going. Thank you so much for reading and caring. From the bottom of my heart to yours, I pray that your kindness will illuminate our darkest days. 🕊️❤️
