I am a terrified mother worried about my daughter Farah, who has been admitted to the ICU more than once. She suffers from RTA (renal tubular acidosis), low potassium, and metabolic acidosis, and she urgently needs medical follow-up and tests.

🦽 Our goal is now $550 to provide her with a wheelchair that will help her move safely, as well as to complete her medical tests.I don't want to live through the same pain every time I need to move my daughter—begging, crying, and pleading until one of our neighbors kindly lends us their own wheelchair. I simply want Farah to have a wheelchair of her own, so she can move with dignity and safety without me having to ask for help every time.

🙏 Any donation, no matter how small, or even sharing our story, could make a real difference in Farah's life And from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has stood by us, donated, shared our story, or tried to do anything to help us. I will never forget your kindness and your support. 🤍Please pray for her recovery. We are currently trying to complete the medical tests.🙏🏻👩🏻‍🦼

I heartily disagree, which she knows because I tell her so with the honesty and candidness I think I am known for, and I think you will disagree as well.

Here is what she said to me today:

"My little girl is no longer as light as she once was, as she appears to you. She's grown into a young woman, and quite heavy; my back aches when I carry her. She used to be so light, as if I were holding a piece of my heart in my arms. But today, she's grown up and is too heavy to bear without bending. But the truth that no one sees … what weighs me down isn't her weight, but my fear for her, the weariness of years, and the sorrow of a mother watching her daughter grow up before her eyes while she can't give her the life she deserves. Her body has grown, and my weariness has grown with it. But in my eyes, she will always be my little girl, the one I fear to put down, lest I find I can no longer hold her."

Does that not say everything more clearly than I possibly could? Are these words not heartbreaking and the most sincere? Do they not speak of the exhaustion and fear of the mother of a disabled child, and her eternal love for her as well?

But of course I will happily add my words. I know Farah's condition well, because Wesal and I speak almost every day. Farah is currently suffering from hypokalaemia, or potassium deficiency. This is because her potassium supplements have been unavailable for months now. She receives urgent care at the hospital when her potassium levels dip too low, which has happened several times in the last month. But they can only do so much.

One symptom of potassium deficiency is muscle paralysis and muscle cramps. Farah experiences these in her legs when her potassium levels are too low. This means she has difficulty walking, and must be carried instead. But she is sixteen years old now. Carrying a teenager is very different from carrying a young child.

So yes. Farah needs a wheelchair. Wesal needs a wheelchair for her daughter and for her own health. Both mother and daughter deserve this, the dignity as well as safety that would come with being able to transport Farah to the hospital and back.

She cannot carry Farah on her own. She shouldn't. Let's help her.

I cry every day from the weight of this heartbreak. I stand beside my husband with nothing but prayer, watching his pain and feeling my heart shatter because I cannot do more to save him. I try to stay strong for my little girl, but there are moments when I weaken as I imagine her life without her father. All I want is a chance to save Ahmed, a chance for him to remain a father to our daughter and a husband to me, and for us to see a better day after all this pain.

The doctor told me that Ahmed’s condition is critical, that the cancer is spreading rapidly through his body, and that his only hope for treatment is to get him out of Gaza as soon as possible to receive urgent medical care. Since that moment, I have been living in constant fear, terrified that I may lose my husband at any moment.

Getting Ahmed out of Gaza for treatment is extremely costly, and we need to raise more than $25,000 to cover the urgent medical expenses and give him the chance he desperately needs. Every moment matters, and we are racing against time to save his life.

Our little daughter cries every day, calling for her father. She does not understand what cancer means, but she feels his pain and clings to him with all her strength. All she wants is for her father to stay by her side, and for this war and this illness not to take him away from her.

As for me, I am suffering from severe malnutrition because of the famine and the war. My body has become weak, but I keep holding myself together in front of my daughter so she does not feel the full extent of the pain we carry inside.

I say this from the depths of my heart: I will never forget everyone who read my words, saw my family’s suffering, and chose to turn away without even sharing our story. A simple share may help our voice reach someone who can save Ahmed’s life.

You are our only hope. Every donation, no matter how small, and every share could be the reason our story reaches someone able to help us.

Please, do not leave us alone. Ahmed’s life is in your hands. Help us reach our goal as quickly as possible and save Ahmed before it is too late. Give our little daughter the chance to keep her father by her side.

My husband, Ahmed, is fighting this cruel illness every single day. I swear I cry every night as I watch him suffer, while I hold our little daughter in my arms. She reaches for her father's hand, waiting for him to get better and play with her like he used to. It breaks my heart because I don't know what to tell her.

Please, I am begging you،،don't let us face this alone.

The doctor has told me that Ahmed urgently needs treatment that costs $2,500. We cannot afford it, and every moment we wait puts his life at greater risk.

If you are able, please donate today. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to getting Ahmed the treatment he desperately needs.

You are our only hope. We have no one else to turn to except your kindness and support.

Please don't leave us alone in this fight. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Please help if you can.

Two of wands

This is another entry for the Silent Hill tarot cards project. Again, if you are a SH fan check it out plsssssss!!!!!

The creator of the projects is @sameasthem so please show some love

The two of wands was a difficult thing for me to pin down because at first I couldn’t decide who I wanted to draw more, Laura or Douglas. This card’s theme is travelling and cooperation so it fits them both pretty nicely. But I thought it’s time for some diversity so let’s appreciate our girl Laura as the main character of this card. She represents abrupt decision making, sudden travelling and cooperation. Even though she was a little rough on James (totally deserved btw) in the end her role was essential in his journey of discovery.
