went to chicago last week

you can do your part too.

any one of the above actions makes a difference.

Please note that money is the obstacle preventing us from leaving Gaza, and I hope that everyone who is able will donate to me so that I can fulfill my duty towards my elderly father and mother, and my mother suffers from chronic illnesses.

I am suffering from severe depression, and my ophthalmologist told me I need surgery on my right eye. Despite my difficult situation, I hope to reach my sister Samah and her family who live in Canada, after the Canadian government approves family reunification. I also want to thank my friends who have helped and continue to help me achieve my goal.

Guys, the situation in Gaza is getting worse day after day. Heavy bombardment resumed today everywhere, as if the war has started all over again. We are living in harsh tent conditions, facing freezing cold, violent winds, and heavy rain, with no access to even the most basic necessities of life.

On top of all this, my father is seriously ill, and his health condition is deteriorating day by day, while proper hospitals and medications are unavailable.

Life has truly become a living hell beyond human endurance. We have reached a point where we wish for death instead of this hell we are forced to live through every single moment.

I know I am asking a lot, but I am placing my hope in your humanity to extend a helping hand to my family. We are in desperate need of your support.

Please, donate to help my family survive.

Keith Haring - “The Life of Christ”

triptych that serves as an altarpiece in the Interfaith AIDS Chapel at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, which serves as a memorial for those killed by AIDS and a place of refuge for those currently suffering from the disease. Keith Haring’s last piece before his own death from AIDS.

Today I stood beside my mother in the hospital, and the doctors were clear: her condition is critical and deeply alarming. My mother is not asking for the impossible , she is asking for her right to live. She is a human being, a soul in pain, just like your mother.

Why this silence? Why this indifference? My mother urgently needs to travel to receive the treatment that could save her life.

I am begging you , don’t scroll past this as if it doesn’t matter. Do something… share, speak, help. And if she were your mother lying there in pain, what would you do?

Rest peacefully, little Omar

It is with a broken heart that we have to share the worst news imaginable with the NGU community. This weekend, the IOF bombed the neighborhood of Yahya Al-Habil and his family. Little Omar, Yahya’s 7-year-old brother who we have mentioned often, was martyred.

Both of Yahya’s brothers Khalil and Mohammed were being treated in different departments for the severe injuries they sustained from this attack, and did not get the chance to say goodbye to Omar. Their wounds were devastating, and both remain in very poor condition.

They now require ongoing, very expensive medical care, the sum of which for both their treatments is $10,000 usd. Donations have become stagnant and their situation is extremely desperate. Please help them survive and try to rebuild their lives.

Current: $6,538 of $15,480 usd—updated 31 Dec.

Previous updates are available here; vetting information in the last reblog; Khalil encourages anyone with questions to contact him on WhatsApp at +972 56-795-7368 for more information

Shrapnel damage from the bombardment that killed his baby brother caused injuries to Khalil’s liver and kidneys. These injuries have further deteriorated due to an inability to afford complete medical care. Both his kidneys and liver are now struggling. The untreated damage has progressed to the point that they are losing their ability to function.

🚨🚨These organs perform vital functions in the body. The body cannot function without them. If Khalil does not receive emergency intervention soon, he will die.🚨🚨

Current: $6,775 out of $7,738 usd (7 January)

Sorry but if a female author or poet acted even a smidge like Richard Siken they'd literally crucify her. Can I say that
