i spread like strawberries :}

Hello my name is Aylool and I live in Gaza. I turned 1 in September and that's where my name comes from.

I love to play like taking my mom's lipstick, getting stuck in my milk carton or annoying my sister by taking whatever she has, I'm only small 🙃

I live with my mom, dad and big sister who is 2.5 but life is very hard for us here. We are living in a tent which gets so cold at night-time, wet in the rain and full of insects.💔🙏🏾

Because we have no proper hygiene, Me and sham keep getting sick with bacterial infections in our stomachs, lungs and skin. Every time we get sick our mom builds up debt trying to get the right medicine for us and it us very stressful.

I hope you can help us with whatever you can, just to try and keep us healthy and safe. Our mom worries about keeping food in our bellies and clothes to keep us warm and your help would make such a difference to our lives.

working 12+ hour days for school without pay or the right to "switch jobs" to something better, often working a real job on top of that, still the legal property of their parents, can't even dye their own hair or use their own name or have a door to their own room in many many cases. yeah I would be at the end of my rope too, especially when dealing with the adults in my life who are enacting and/or facilitating the abuse! it feels pretty glaring to ignore this dynamic when talking about the strained emotional capacity of teenagers. did you forget? what it was like to not have the right to your own life yet? to be hurt 24/7? and then to have your (extremely reasonable!!!) emotional reactions dismissed as pure hysteria?
