I send you these words from the heart of the besieged Gaza Strip that is being subjected to genocide.
I send you my words and my heart is filled with pain and sadness for what happened to me and my family.
My name is Kifah from the northern Gaza Strip. My husband Anwar and I were displaced under death and violent bombardment to Deir al-Balah, where we live in tragic and sad conditions.
I speak to you as I live in my beautiful home in the northern Gaza Strip. My home was like a luxurious palace, as my husband and I are from a wealthy family that practices trade and imports. But the war turned me into a poor, miserable woman who has no one to provide for her daily needs after our trade stopped and my home and commercial center in the northern Gaza Strip were destroyed.
I never imagined even once that I would ask for help from anyone, but circumstances forced me to do so, as my life has been turned upside down.
I no longer find food, flour, or water, and I live in a miserable, dilapidated tent that I cannot even prepare for the winter.
Please do not hesitate to help me to save me from my tragic circumstances and rebuild my home even if only part of it.. If you cannot help me by donating, please share my story on your page
BRACE FOR THE STORM!
I made a comic to make it more digestible.
Shares appreciated, I'm just trying to bring awareness here
I am very nervous and scared because I am going to enter a contest and I am afraid of losing in a humiliating way and that everything I did was for nothing. I want to pray to Hermes to help me or at least make me feel better but I don't have a altar nor a place to pray in my house since my entire family is Catholic and they don't know that I am a Hellenic Polytheism π
God of grapes, wine, intoxication, ecstasy, insanity, inhibition, theatre, festivity, queerness, the wilds, madness, and pleasure.

I pray to thee, Lady Hestia, Blessed Keeper of Hearth and Home,
Protector of families both by blood and by choice,
You who maintain the eternal fire on Olympus,
You are the spark that ignites the flame,
The warmth that comforts in the chill of night.
In your unending warmth and tender-heartedness,
My soul finds peace and healing.
Please guide me with patience and strength as I strive for independence,
And navigate the complexities of life
May your divine presence bring harmony within my family and protection for my home.
With profound gratitude and unwavering reverence,
I offer this prayer to you,
O Hestia, eternal and benevolent.
May your favor be ever upon me.
