A little meme for you all

💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You

Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,

When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.

From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.

💔 A Journey of Loss, but Also of Strength

As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.

But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.

“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.

“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.

🌿 What Life Looks Like for Us Now

Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.

But things have only gotten harder.

The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.

We’re trapped.

🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨‍👩‍👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.

And yet…

Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.

Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.

💖 What You Can Do

If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.

Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.

✨ Why It All Matters

This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.

🙏 From the Heart: A Quiet Apology

There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.

When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.

If that happened, I am truly sorry.

Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.

I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.

If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.

🩸TW: Blood🩸

Something a bit out of the ordinary, and not DSMP-related. Honestly I'm expecting this to not get any attention at all, but I'm still very proud of it. Whatever this is.

Into the unconscious.

Boy, I sure hope this doesn’t age poorly!! But I refuse to turn this moment into rancher angst. I refuse, I say!

It’s hard to explain my feelings properly, but I just feel like. Idk… I feel like Double Life Jimmy was so… lonely (what with everyone picking on him, betting and laughing over him dying first, etc) and tango felt like his only shining beacon. And in this moment, even though Jimmy didn't hesitate to go along with Joel (I could go on about Jimmy being eager to feel accepted and diving headfirst into whoever would accept him, but we won’t go there today), I just feel like there’s something about seeing jimmy so. Happy and goofy and able to have a good time. Am I delusional? Probably. But I like the idea that maybe Tango’s just glad to see Jimmy happy and, for him at least, he’ll let his anger slide.

Congratulations! Your CHILD evolved into WEIRD BLOKE!

My Family’s Last Chance: The Border May Open Soon

I am Kariman, an early childhood educator who once dreamed of shaping young minds. Those dreams were shattered when the war destroyed my school and my home. My husband, Ayman, was a fisherman, but his boat was destroyed, leaving him without a livelihood. Together, we’ve faced unimaginable loss, clinging to hope for the sake of our 17-month-old son, Hamoud.

For months, we’ve endured the unthinkable—displacement after displacement, hunger, and fear. With your generosity, we’ve managed to raise $34,914 USD out of our $75,000 goal, but much of this money has gone to simply surviving: food that costs exorbitant amounts, milk for Hamoud, clothes to shield him from the cold, and the basics of living in displacement. Even purchasing a tent to replace the one we lost to the rain cost far more than it should.

Now, there is a glimmer of hope. The Rafah crossing is expected to open soon, giving us what may be our last chance to escape. But evacuation comes with an unbearable cost—we need $50,000 to cover the expenses of travel and relocation for our family. Without this, we cannot leave, and staying here means continuing to endure the relentless suffering.

We love this land, but it has become a place of pain and loss. We’ve lost everything we held dear—our home, our safety, and our future. My son Hamoud, innocent and full of life, deserves a chance to grow up without fear, to play in peace, and to know a life beyond the horrors of war🥹💔

This is our final plea. If you’ve ever thought of helping, now is the time. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to saving Hamoud’s life and giving him the future he deserves.
