Hello, I'm Asmaa from northern Gaza I've spent over two years in this genocide. A genocide that knows no human being , no stone , no animal . It makes no distinction between anything. During this time, I lost my brothers, who were killed by the occupation, and my soul, and so many members of my family. I lost my job and my livelihood. I lost my peace of mind. I lost our home, our shelter, our comfort, and our safety. I lost our neighborhood, Shuja'iyya. This is where all the pain resides. I live in agony because of the loss and the longing for what we once had . My family has no breadwinner; our situation is dire . I'm here appealing to you for help . I launched this campaign to ask for support and assistance for myself, my mother, and my sister, who lost everything: her job, her life, her home. She lost everything . They say the war has stopped, but the pain hasn't. It's stopped We've lost everything We lost our home; it was completely destroyed on December 3, 2025. This was a time when the war was supposed to have stopped. This campaign is to help me, my sister, and my mother. Our situation is dire. No work, no life, no hope for us except you. I had a campaign before, but it stopped, and I'm back asking for your help. You are our hope in this life. Please support me. Be my help; you are my hope in this life. Donate what you can to save us I'm here again after losing my campaign I'm pleading with you Our lives are difficult and loss is not easy I need your donations. Help us #HelpUs #DonateWhatYouCan #SaveAsmaaAndHerFamily

The L Train at 14th Street, Richard Estes, 2015

A lot of us were raised with the idea that “its normal for wives/children to get hit! it helps them learn– only white folk don’t get beaten when they misbehave”. That’s not true, white people aren’t the only ones who deserve a safe and abuse free environment. Black and brown people can and do have loving families.
