Hello 👋
Please take a moment to read my story.
I am Heba Al-Dahdouh. I currently live in the completely destroyed city of Gaza. Since the war on Gaza began on 7/1/2024, my family- my father Nasif, my mother Asmaa, and my siblings Khaled, Ahmad, Muhammad, and Malak-have been living in constant fear, crying, and suffering due to shrapnel, shells, and bullets.
We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no homes, no cleaning supplies, and no clothes. Our house was completely destroyed. My school has been bombed, and my brother Khaled's university is now rubble, depriving us all of education. The war has forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents unsuitable for living, especially in winter.
Every day we live death, terror, and panic a thousand times because of the ongoing bombardment of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the start of the war, we sought refuge at my aunt's house, but it too became rubble. Imagine: we have survived imminent death more than 20 times and have been displaced among shelters more than 13 times. My siblings and I have suffered from many illnesses due to malnutrition, and we need medication continuously.
If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,
With your generous donations, even if small, you can save 7 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope.
With my warmest regards from the city of Gaza,
Heba Al-Dahdouh.

My name is Mahmoud, and today I am writing about my family
I’m husband and father of two children we evacuated at the beginning of the war. but my family is still suffering inside Gaza
My family was a beautiful, cheerful family that loved life and they love each other.
We have children are make fun and they the source of happiness for home
Until one day, the sounds of explosions overtook them. Days passed, and these days were very difficult for everyone in the family. Suddenly, my father fell ill, and it was determined that he was suffering with cancer, and needed surgery outside the Gaza Strip. But, because of the situation, he was unable to leave Gaza for treatment — eventually, due to lack of medical care and after suffering with his symptoms, he died. Five days after my father death, his children (my brothers- and sisters) were injured after their home was targeted. My brother suffered a double amputation of his feet and one hand, and his other siblings were injured as well, including a severe back injury.

My family suffers under these difficult situation and they have been displaced several times in more than one place.
The money raised will go towards evacuation fees for my family of 16 members : 8 adults and 8 children. I hope everyone will help my family, and help them receive the urgent medical care they need.

🐉 for the ask game?
🐉 – If you could only create for one type of au, what would it be?
I haven’t actually written an actual AU but so far I’m thinking of a jidaigeki-ish AU based on this chibi set I did a while ago that references various historical events/legends/fictions in Japan:
Kai and Nya were separated when they were still kids due to a war and he then set on a journey to find her. He eventually finds her, alive and well, and at some point the siblings have a friendly rivalry. Both have developed their own fighting style as well while they were away from each other (parallel to Musashi’s Nitouryuu (dual sword) style and Kojirou’s Ganryuu style including Tsubame Gaeshi).
During this journey, Kai meets Lloyd who tells him that he needs to gather some comrades as soon as possible. After finding Nya, the siblings then joins Lloyd’s journey to find more comrades.
Cole the warrior monk used to rob people’s weapons (he prefers to call it confiscation) due to his disappointment to people abusing weapons to take someone else’s life; until when he met Jay and lost in a match. The latter reminded him that someone would need those to defend themselves (parallel to Benkei and 999 weapons).
Zane worked for a magistracy as a detective, along with PIXAL as his sidekick. He used to despise samurai for the terrible treatment they did to the commoners; until he witnesses the siblings saving a commoner’s life, and he slowly warms up to them. Legend says it that his throw is almost 100% accurate (parallel to Heiji’s coin throw).
I can’t explain the following ones properly but I might give a gist of them.
After everyone is finally gathered, Lloyd explains his reason: to end the war caused by someone who used to follow him and then deceived him: Pythor (parallel to Jiraiya’s arch-nemesis, Orochimaru, who used to be his follower IIRC). Apparently this war caused most of the problems witnessed by them.
Everyone immediately agree to join Lloyd for various reasons: the siblings don’t want anyone else’s happiness to be snatched by the war, Cole and Jay want the weapon abuse to be stopped for once and all, Zane and PIXAL want the difference between classes to be diminished. They didn’t get along at first, but they eventually become a better team thanks to Lloyd’s wise words (kind of referenced from events of Bakumatsu era after seeing dramas that take place in that time setting).
Thanks for the ask!
Hello dear friends! ❤🤍🖤💚
🍉I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, coming from an extended family of young children, women and elderly people ❤❤ who have been suffering😭😭 for 300 difficult days from an aggressive war.
Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and unattainable. There is no food, no water, no medicine.
So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we had lost all our sources of livelihood.Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost.

I am aiming to raise $29,000 to help bring my wife, Muna, and our son, Hashem, from Gaza to Kuwait, reuniting us and ensuring their safety far from the dangers of war. The funds will also help me rebuild our business in Gaza with my brother, Aboud, by securing a new location, purchasing equipment, and restarting production—giving us a chance to restore our livelihoods and hope for the future
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for standing with us during this challenging time.
Warm regards, Jaber Al-Haj
Mohanad and Farah: War Stole Our Dreams
My wife Farah and I once had a dream home in Gaza, filled with hope. But the war destroyed everything. We lost our jobs, our apartment was bombed, and we were left with only debt.
We married quietly amidst the chaos, and since then, we've been forced to move between shelters and tents, always uncertain and struggling for basic needs. Now, we share a small rented house with other families, still living in fear of what might come next.
This video shows the details of our story; I kindly ask you to watch it and support us
Despite it all, we hold onto hope.
Thank you for your kindness and support 🌸💚
