Today, the federal minimum wage is 7.25 an hour. Roughly $15k a year if you work 40 hours a week every week. Today, the median home price is $410k and the average is $512k.

In 1960, making minimum wage, and saving every single cent you make (and disregarding taxation), it’d take 5 and a half years to save up enough to buy a house. In 2025, making federal minimum wage, and saving every single cent and disregarding taxation, it would take you 34 fucking years to have saved up enough to buy an average priced house, 27 years to buy a median priced one.

The difference between Gaza and Auschwitz is that the world still has a chance to stop the ethnic cleansing in Gaza. What’s happening here is not just a war—it’s a deliberate effort to starve an entire population. We are not only dying from bombs, but from hunger, thirst, and despair. Life is being stolen from the mouths of our children every single day.

The siege surrounds us from all directions. Food and medicine are blocked. The crossings have been closed for months. What little aid enters is barely enough for 1% of the population. Imagine paying $40 for a single kilo of flour, or needing over $300 to feed a small family for just one day. With no jobs, no open markets, and no safety—how are we supposed to survive?

Today, a beautiful cat and her kittens died from hunger. They were innocent, fragile lives—and they perished simply because there was nothing left to eat. What kind of injustice allows even the weakest, most defenseless creatures to suffer this way? This is the reality we live with every single day.

Please, don’t turn away. Your support, no matter how small, can be the reason someone wakes up tomorrow with food, with hope, with life. A single donation can mean survival for a family, for a child, for a soul still holding on. In Gaza, even the smallest act of kindness can save a life.
