Help Mohamed and His Family Escape Gaza for a Safe Future โค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐
Dear Friends,
I am Mohamed Nabeel Alanqar from Gaza ๐ต๐ธ, married to Aya, and we have three children: Nabeel (7 years old), Amir (4 years old), and Lami (10 years old). We once lived a hopeful and ambitious life, working tirelessly to secure a bright future for our children.
I worked alongside my father and brothers in our family business, manufacturing aluminum windows, which was our primary source of income. ๐
However, the relentless conditions in Gaza have left us with no space for stability. Our home has suffered partial damage, and our apartments have been severely affected.
We have been forced to relocate multiple times from northern Gaza, where we live, to the south due to ongoing evacuations. These repeated moves have left us in a constant state of uncertainty and intensified our struggles. ๐ ๐
My wife, Aya, is under immense psychological strain as she strives to keep our childrenโs lives stable amid these harsh conditions. Our children have fallen ill due to the deteriorating health and environmental conditions, and we are deeply concerned for their well-being and future. Their education is also at risk because of the severe economic difficulties we face. ๐๐ถ
We are launching this campaign to secure a safe and stable future for our family.
We desperately need financial support to cover living expenses, provide essential medical care for our children, and ensure their education. Additionally, we are contemplating traveling through the Rafah border in search of safety and stability abroad. This journey involves significant costs for travel, accommodation, and establishing a new environment where we can rebuild our lives. ๐๐ผ
The emotional and physical toll on our family has been immense. Each day, we grapple with the fear of what tomorrow might bring, and the uncertainty of our childrenโs future weighs heavily on us. Your support can help lift this burden and provide us with a glimmer of hope. ๐
Your immediate support is crucial to help us achieve this goal. Every donation, no matter the amount, can make a profound difference in helping us overcome this crisis and start anew in a safe place. Your generosity will not only help us escape our current reality but will also restore our hope for a better tomorrow. ๐โจ
In this pivotal moment, we hope you will stand with us, offering your support so we can fulfill our dream of a dignified and stable life. Your compassion and solidarity are the sources of strength and hope that keep us moving forward. ๐
With heartfelt thanks and gratitude,โค๏ธ๐

In its eighth month, Gaza appears defeated, trapped between walls of destruction and the cries of children. It is enveloped in deep sorrow, gripped by constant fear, and its walls speak a language of muffled screams. War is harsh. ๐ข
How can I protect my mother and siblings from this hell? How can I get them out of the horrors of war and bring them back to safety? My heart bleeds with indescribable pain, and my eyes see the scenes of suffering my people endure in this shattered land. ๐
My mother is the light that guides me through the darkest nights. How can war extinguish this light? How can my heart be at peace when it fears for the safety of those I love? I want them to be well, I want them to be safe, but war takes without mercy and destroys without pity. ๐
I want to get them out of this hell. I want to see them well. Please help me save my mother, my father, and my siblings. ๐
Imagine this is your mother. How would you feel? ๐ญ
Thinking of you.

I really want to see you draw shellington with the Vegimals aka his kids and everyone's first reactions to the Vegimals!
Note: Peso isnโt here because this all takes place before he joined
When the Vegimals first hatched, Shellington was astonished by these fascinating creatures.
And then reality set in
How was he going to tell the rest of the crew?
On top of this now he had to take care of these little guys. Give them names, feed them, ect.
Welcome to parenthood Shellington
He was nervous about the crew getting scared, or worse wanting the Vegimals to be released back into the ocean, so he kept his care for them a secret. (Although he wasnโt particularly subtle)
Soon Captain Barnacles noticed how sluggish and overworked Shellington had become and decided to check on him, only to be met with a small little creature thrusted into his arms by Shellington.
The lab was in total chaos and Shellington wasnโt looking too well.
Even with a very brief explanation from Shellington, the Captain could see how exhausted he was. And the Vegimals didnโt seem dangerous, just a bit of a handful.
So he made the decision to brief in the other Octonauts.
They were all shocked by the Vegimals, and had so many questions.
But Captain Barnacles made it very clear the main priority was to help Shellington. Luckily, Inkling found a few baby books in his big library.
They all joined Shellington in the lab bringing fish biscuit formula, blankets, Tweak had made little beds, Inkling brought a few books for Shellington, and they all stayed with him to help out with the Vegimals.
Shellington was very touched by his crewโs compassion, so much so he fell asleep.
The captain didnโt mind though, and they all kept watch over their new crew members while Shellington got some well overdue rest.
And by the time Peso joined, they Vegimals were very much a part of the crew, and he was briefed in about them and to not be startled by them.
A piece about survivors guilt.
This comic isn't perfect. I started it back in October 2023, and every time I picked up my pen, I wept.
I bring this to you today, on 9/11, in hopes that you reflect on this day a little differently than how most Americans would. Let it move you to continue to boycott, protest and challenge your family, friends and colleagues. You have a bigger impact than you would believe.
Thank you for reading this with an open heart.
From the river to the sea...
I'd like to bring to attention the fact that the figures depicted above are a gross undercount of the actual number of deaths. I scoured the internet high and low to source my findings and not a single one could break down the devastation that befell an individual ethnicity. Instead, they lumped a bunch of ethnicities together, provided a general timeline, and called it a day, reinforcing the sheer scale of dehumanization propagated in the west. The only consistency between all the articles I looked up was the 4.5 to 4.7 million figure I've included above, and even then, they were all published by western media news outlets... the very same that have been so unreliable and complicit in the genocide of Palestinians today. So I have to take everything they say with a grain of salt.
We are not just numbers.
All of us have ambitions and desires and lives worth living.
With that said, this is your friendly reminder to:
Donate an e-sim
Donate to PCRF to provide Palestinian children aid
Donate to Pious Projects to provide woman with feminine hygiene kits
Donate to CareForGaza to provide food to displaced families in Gaza either through their Gofundme or their paypal
Donate to any of the vetted gofundme campaigns on GazaFunds to help Palestinians trying to flee Gaza.
And if you or someone you know sees or experiences a hate crime and can afford it, SUE. This is a more effective use of your money than most realise. The reason zionists act with impunity is because of the normalization of white supremacy and oppression of ethnic minorities. Challenging that in any capacity tells them that there are consequences to their actions and makes them think twice before engaging in hate crimes and helps raise all of us up against the systems currently in place that let them get away with it.
If you can't donate or spend any money, you can:
Do your daily clicks.
Boycott targeted companies on the BDS list (if you're like me and you don't want a single dollar to go towards anything supporting Israel right now, you can use Bdnaash to double check what products are okay to buy, but the BDS list is sufficient as it is a strategic attack and proven very effective thus far)
Flood your representatives emails and voicemails with how you won't be voting for them unless their politics align with an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Attend a protest, be LOUD.
Challenge your circle of friends, family and colleagues with conversations about Palestine. (THIS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED AND MOST EFFECTIVE THING YOU CAN DO)
and if you're really up to, be disruptive in any capacity that you can think of towards major corporations benefiting from this onslaught. (i.e. halting military manufacturers from production + shipments, sticking boycott stickers on products at your market etc)
And finally, if your country wasn't mentioned in the above excerpt, it was no deliberate omission on my part and I encourage you to come forward and tell your story about the suffering of your people so that this may be a learning opportunity for everyone.
You are seen.
You are not alone.
Thank you again if you've read this far.

I know I've said this a hundred times but if you're worried about palestinian fundraisers being scams at least consider donating to MSF. It's a highly reputable organization which has broken its long-standing neutrality to denounce Israel in front of the UN. Here's all the aid MSF is providing to Gazans (documentation available in multiple languages).
