Ahed is devoted to his daughters, and when he speaks with me about Iman, who is seven years old, I feel his love for her like it's my own. He told me, "I swear to you, I don't know the taste of sleep, and I stay up many nights thinking about this child and how I will help her." In his own words, his family is his whole life. Iman was injured on her way to a grocery store, when a house nearby was bombed. A large stone struck her feet, causing constant pain and difficulty walking. Iman requires an open reduction and internal fixation surgery on her feet — as Ahed describes it, this is a difficult and expensive surgery, which involves inserting metal plates to hold her bones together for a year until they heal. Because of the blockade and lack of resources in Gaza, Iman must be evacuated outside of Gaza for the procedure. This would be challenging under normal circumstances, but for Ahed's family right now, it won't be possible without donations. Please share his campaign, donate what you can, and remember their story; don't let this fade away. Everyone on here can do something to help.

大 means 'big.' It's used as the place name for Omiya station.

犬 the extra stroke exactly where the crow is standing changes the meaning to 'dog.' So now it's dog-o-miya station.

Wanting something requires dopamine signaling, but liking something doesn’t.

If you have a mental illness/disorder that affects dopamine, you might feel that you don’t want to do the things that you like. You do still like them. You will appreciate having done them.

Let your likes guide you.
