Tenna art by @9Aaaalt29 on twt

I really struggle asking for help publicly, but I am currently dealing with a financial emergency after my water service was accidentally cancelled due to failed payments while I’ve been stuck in overdraft. I’m on ODSP and won’t have income for another 12 days, and right now I’m trying to prevent the situation from escalating further.

If anyone is able to help, even a little, I would be deeply grateful. If you cannot, sharing is also appreciated beyond words.

Thank you for all the kindness and support people have shown me and my work lately. It genuinely means more than I can explain. 🫶

🖤Meet our Kara Zor-El🤍

💚Art by our talented contributor @dandeidolon ❤️

Kara was sent to Earth to protect her baby cousin.

Instead, she arrives to find him already grown; no longer Kal-El of Krypton, but Khalil of Palestine. Superman.

She survives the destruction of her homeworld only to land in another world shaped by occupation, displacement, grief, and survival. Palestine becomes her second home not because it is peaceful, but because people continue loving, rebuilding, laughing, resisting, and protecting one another despite everything being done to break them.

Kara is impulsive, emotional, reactive, and deeply empathetic. She carries immense survivor’s guilt from Krypton and an almost self-destructive need to protect others from experiencing the same loss she did. She believes no one deserves to be dehumanized, and when confronted with cruelty toward defenseless people, she struggles to stay restrained.

Her greatest fear is not death.

It is becoming a weapon.

A symbol emptied of humanity.

But for now we have an important question:

A friend of the Superman Son of Al-Khalil is currently fundraising to help two young children survive and reach safety.

She herself survived the genocide in Gaza as a teenager. She lived through unimaginable violence and displacement, and despite everything she continues to fight for others with a level of care and determination that humbles me deeply.

I know how much weight she carries for the people she loves and for the children still trapped in impossible circumstances. So I wanted to share this here and ask people to support if they can.

Please donate, share, and keep speaking about Gaza. Every contribution matters.

Can you please share widely?
