I want enough time to be in love with everything

If you're unaware, I've been attempting to help Maram, a 26 yr old Palestinian woman, as well as her husband and three children (9, 7, and 4yrs) raise money to continue surviving in Gaza in the midst of the isreali genocide.

Ibrahim, Maram's 7yr old son, was devastatingly injured in a bombing on the 22nd. His condition worsens every day, and if they cannot pay for his emergency surgery, he may pass away. As of right now, Maram needs to raise $1,100 by Sunday in order to pay for this surgery (her page linked here). Over the last week and a half, we have already raised him $900+ for this procedure, and I am CERTAIN with the right eyes on this post we can make the final stretch. I'm not sure what else to say. My efforts have started to lose traction, and It is imperative that this post breaks containment from my blog(s), now more than ever, to reach the people that might be able to help.

I am increasing the scope of my donation requests. For every $1-10 donated to Maram's campaign, you can receive a fully colored sketch of anything you would like. For every $10+, you can get a fully rendered brush painting, which would usually be over fifty dollars on my commission. I draw for fandom, selfship, OC's, even pet / human portraits. If you have literally ever liked or wanted a piece of my art, this is the time to get it.

I conceptualise gender and masculinity/femininity not as boxes that one needs to conform to, or labels that one has to choose to adopt or reject, but as toyboxes full of trinkets. I can take whatever trinkets I like. I don't have to take the ones I hate. If I hate all of the toys in a box, I can just close the box. If I like only some of them but hate others, I don't have to bring the whole box with me. I can put them back in the box if I don't want them one day, and I can take them back out if I want them again later. I can play with the toys and paint the toys and mash the toys together and experiment with the toys and break the toys and cherish the toys at my leisure. And I can buy them from elsewhere, or even make my own, if I want more toys but can't find them in the toyboxes provided.

Maram is a 26 year old woman living in Gaza, currently caring for her destitute family, who all experienced a violent bombing attack on May 22nd by the Isreali occupation. During this attack, her middle son Ibrahim was horribly impacted and requires IMMEDIATE surgery for his injuries. As of June 2nd, Maram needs $2,000 to pay for Ibrahim's emergency surgeries, that he could possibly die without. (Donation page linked here)

Ibrahim is 7 years old. This is the age where kids start elementary school. They learn to jump rope, decide their favorite book, laugh and play in the yard. Imagine the grief and trauma instilled in that young of a mind. He is in constant pain, trapped isolated in a medical tent, facing possible death. How do you reconcile that? How do you explain that even, to someone who's life has barely begun?

Every second in this situation counts. Over the past two months, we've managed to raise over $650 for Maram's son Ziad, and their whole families well-being. I KNOW that we can do more. Maram is moving mountains for her children, but she can only do so much on her own without income. She is begging for our help. As before, with every proof of donation over $1 to Maram's campaign, I will give ANYONE a fully colored sketch commission of anything they would like. Please, even if $1 is all you can give, if you've never given before, or given 10 times; I urge you to do so now. If you can't donate, sharing this post makes all the difference !!
