Then, The War Came, And Everything We Had Was Taken From Us.🥺

Don't much care for the whole "I will no longer do this Normal Thing if I suspect someone watching me might have a fetish for it." like, y'all this is why people are censoring their damn feet in otherwise-innocuous photos.

Hate to break it to you but everything is a fetish. Drinking water? Fetish. Eating? Fetish. Sneezing? Fetish. Clearing your throat? Fetish. Burping, farting, pissing, shitting, walking, sitting, standing, having your mouth visible when you talk, making certain mouth sounds, your accent (yes yours), your skin color (yes yours), makeup, lack-of-makeup, smelling bad, smelling good, smelling neutral, hair, lips, noses, eyes, ears, chins, shoulders, necks, armpits, elbows, fingers, chests, stomachs, backs, hips, thighs, knees, knee pits, ankles, toes, soles - all fetishes. Like it or not someone somewhere will Perceive You and they will Like What They See.

And they will be silent and normal about it because guess what? Fetishes are normal and most people know how to conduct themselves around others tactfully. We only ever find out about specific fetishes as they relate to us in particular when someone is choosing to be decidedly Not Normal about it, so we assume everyone who has those fetishes is a tactless weirdo. Rookie mistake. I guarantee some of your friends have fetishes for innocuous non-sexual things too, and it doesn't make them some kind of pervert creep.

So please for fucks sake live your damn life. Don't contort your entire existence around the fear of the possibility that you might maybe possibly inadvertently turn someone on a little sometimes. This too is a fetish.

Dear reader,

I am Hussam Al-Qazzaz from Gaza, and I am writing to you at a very difficult time. The war that swept through our region left us with no choice but to face a painful reality. My house was demolished, I lost my job, my children were dispersed, and we were living in tents under harsh conditions.

Our health situation is at risk, as my mother suffers from high blood pressure, and her health condition is deteriorating. My father suffered serious burns and is now in intensive care, which increases our anxiety and pain. We have four children, Bashar, Hani, Dianah, and Habiba, and my last daughter was born during this war just a month ago.

We urgently need your help. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference in our lives. We are looking for hope and support in these difficult times, and we hope you can lend us a helping hand.

I love you very much, and I hope you will stand with us in this ordeal. Thank you for everything you can provide.

With sincere regards,

Hossam Al-Qazzaz

Donate to Help Abood From the War, organized by Andy S

Hello, my name is Andy. I live in Ohio, but I am organizing this fundraiser for Abood and his wife who … Andy S needs your support for Help

Abood @abood-gaza2 and his pregnant wife NEED you to save them. Proof they are vetted here. It costs ~$8000 to evacuate to Egypt and that number is increasing all the time due to sick people trying to capitalise on misfortune and chaos.

"I studied accounting, graduated with a high average, and worked in a chain of clothing stores that my father owned. But due to the unjust aggression, all our shops were destroyed, and we lost our source of livelihood and work completely. I was displaced from my home more than 10 times, each time trying to find a safe place, but there really is no safety here. Here we live death, fear, and loss at every moment. We love life and we always have ambitions and dreams that we hope to achieve and we are determined to achieve them as well."

Please help this beautiful family who are currently living in tents and facing a harsh and dangerous winter coming up evacuate as soon as they can for the sake of their unborn son as well as their own sakes, and read their story. They're 1/4 of a way to their goal. Get them closer, every little bit counts.

Hello my friends.. This is the undeniable truth. A young child sees himself under the layers of the earth to look through a small opening through which he sees hope for a non-existent life. Put your eyes in his eyes to see the extent of the tragedy we are in. Help us as much as you can. Help us to live in the midst of this war, destruction and bombing. Random and thanks for all the help

‼️Please don’t skip taking a look 🍉🇵🇸

Welcome; I am Nasser Abu Akar, 23years old, a survivor of five wars, from the Gaza Strip - occupied Palestine, and this is my beautiful family, my father Muhammad (martyr), my mother Indira, my brothers Haitham, Fayez, Fayek, Ahmed and Farid and 4 sisters, a family full of love and peace, a family that is accustomed to living In her warm little house. We lived our lives in the Gaza Strip, a life full of wars and conflicts, a very harsh life, and we went through many painful and harsh experiences. We suffered from devastating wars, poverty and severe siege. But despite this, we maintained love in our hearts and purity in our souls, and until what happened during the past six months, we faced situations that cannot be described in words. Horrible things happened, situations that no one could bear. We lost our small house and had to move to another area (in the camps), leaving our dreams, our love, and even our lives in the rubble. What a difficult life we ​​face now, a life full of pain, poverty and displacement. All our dreams have turned into only one dream, which is to survive, but deep in our hearts we still have a glimmer of hope. There is a small speck of light in the midst of this absolute darkness. We have survived (so far). My father did not survive. The occupation killed him, may God have mercy on him. But we believe in the saying, “I don’t want to live, I want to survive.” There is a big difference between them. In order to preserve our lives after my father’s death, we must leave the Gaza Strip to a safe place, a place that will restore to us the humanity we have lost, which means saving the lives of ten people, along with thousands of dreams and dreams. Ambitions. Our support means we're not just numbers breaking news, and we're not just anonymous victims. Our support means that ten lives will not be mentioned in the casualty statistics. This means that there are ten people who will not stand in line for long hours just to get a loaf of bread, or a bottle of water. . This support will save lives, and what is more important in the world than saving a life? With your support, we will carry in our hearts hope and beautiful memories of the house that was our home before the missile arrived. Your help means survival in this humanitarian crisis. Is there a crisis greater than the Gaza crisis? We trust that there is a hand that will extend to save us before we drown

“The tent was their only shelter. Its winter wall was made of threadbare fabric that did not protect them from the cold or the summer heat. Inside, they lay on a thin mattress, two beaten corpses.

Help Abd AL Salam and his family get through this war in Gaza🍉💔

**Humanitarian Support Request: Abdul Salam Al-Anqar**

Hello, I am Abdul Salam Al-Anqar, 26 years old, married to Aya Al-Batniji and I have a little girl named Iman who is (1 year old).

Donate to Help Abd AL Salam and his family get through this war inGaza, organized by Abd AL Salam Al Anqar

**Humanitarian Support Request: Abdul Salam Al-Anqar** … Abd AL Salam Al Anqar needs your support for Help Abd AL Salam and his family

My family consists of seven members: my mother Iman (49 years old), my father Ahmed (54 years old), and my brothers Mohammed (14 years old), Nader (17 years old), and Omar (21 years old).

Due to the devastating war in the Gaza Strip, our homes were completely destroyed and became uninhabitable. We were forced to flee to the south, and we are searching for safety, as we were displaced more than 9 times, suffering from harsh conditions. We suffer from severe shortages of water and food, and my daughter suffers from malnutrition due to the high prices of food and its scarcity, in addition to the closure of the crossings and the ongoing siege.

I used to work as a car technician, but my workplace was completely destroyed. We are now in dire need of collecting donations to finance our travel to a safe country. The cost of travel is between $6000 and $7000, which is a huge amount that we cannot afford.

We ask for your support and assistance in these difficult circumstances. Even a small contribution can make a big difference in our lives.

Thank you very much for your support and generosity.

Note: can vetted my campaign plz?!

@90-ghost @sar-sar @mohammedalanqer

Why is no one talking to me? No one checks on my family anymore. Are we no longer important, the six of us?! When will I find someone to care about us? Will it be when we are bombed or dead?

The people here helped me, and the Tumblr community is wonderful. I love you all.

But no one wants to check on my family anymore. I have four children who live every day in fear, with bombings and death, in a place without sanitation, filled with epidemics and diseases. Even food is now just canned goods. Is a child supposed to live their life here without any sweets or treats?

Are we dead?! Is that why no one answers or asks about us? Or has the world's conscience died, so they don’t think about us or inquire about us?

I created a post telling our story in black and white because my family and I are starting to lose hope. Perhaps someone will look at the pictures and read the story, realizing that this family is on the brink of becoming a memory.

My children, my wife, and I read your comments and your words, and the messages you send. Why have you stopped? No one is standing with us. You know, even internet and electricity here are hard to come by, and we walk a long way to reach a place just to tell you that we are still alive here in Gaza.

We hoped someone would fight with us, try to raise our voice to the world, send our campaign to friends, or even try to adopt our cause and reach out to people, asking them to write and share our story.

If I’m the only one here in Gaza trying to raise my family's voice and save them, I won’t succeed alone.

I'm writing this because I can't do it alone, and I hope you will support me and stand with me.

Just read this with your hearts. My family and I need your support with your own selves, minds, and consciences, not just donations, above all else.

I will attach a picture of my family here, hoping it will make someone look with their heart, talk to us, and say, “I will try to help you.”

This is the link to my campaign»»»

I hope to find someone who cares about whether my family and I are still alive.

💔🙏

Please stop and listen to our painful story and help me save my family 🇵🇸🇵🇸

After the great destruction to which our home was exposed, living in tents, and the difficult and desperate living conditions in which my children and I live in light of the lack of basic life necessities.

Donate to Support Amal's Family in War-Torn Gaza Escape to Egypt, organized by Brooke Cole

Hello, my name is Brooke Coke and I am organizing this fundraiser o… Brooke Cole needs your support for Support Amal's Family in War-Torn Ga

After being displaced more than five times and living in a tent, you can imagine living all day in a three square meter space where you spend all your needs. The high temperature is as if you are living in an oven. Due to the intense heat and the spread of reptiles and insects, you do not know the taste of sleep or rest.

My children and I live in desperate conditions. We lost our passion for life after everything was destroyed, as well as our only source of income and the destruction of the house. My children have not been to school for a year and are receiving education in tents.

How can you help? Donate, share the donation campaign with your friends, and support the page

🚨 Help Us Escape the Devastation of War 🚨

Hello, everyone.

My name is Mohammed Abu Swierh, and I’m writing to you from Al-Nuseirat, Gaza, where my family and I face unimaginable hardships. My wife and I are raising our three beautiful children: Mira (6 years), Bakr (3 years), and Maria (1 year). But our once peaceful lives have been shattered by the relentless conflict that has plagued Gaza for about a year. 💔

Our home, which once held so many dreams, is now damaged beyond recognition. Every day, we live in fear, surrounded by destruction, with no safe place for our children to grow up. The war has stripped them of the carefree childhood they deserve. Instead, they are growing up in a world filled with fear, uncertainty, and despair. 😔

After many sleepless nights and countless prayers, we've come to the heartbreaking decision that we must leave Gaza. We are hoping to build a safer, better future for our children, a future free from war and filled with hope.

But we can't do it alone. Here’s where you can make a life-changing difference for our family:

$20,000: To cover the expenses of leaving Gaza and rebuilding our lives in a safe country.

$19,000: For a year’s worth of housing, food, and essential living costs as we adjust.

$1,000: To cover transaction and fundraising fees.

We humbly ask for your help. No contribution is too small, and every dollar brings us closer to giving our children the chance to grow up in peace. This is more than just a financial plea, it’s a call to save a family from the grips of war. 🙏

Your generosity can be the light that leads us out of this darkness. Please consider donating and sharing our story with those who may want to help.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for standing with us in our time of need. ❤️‍🩹
