Could you imagine watching your own child sick, suffering, even dieing in a hospital bed--and not being able to do anything?
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 !!
This post has been incredibly slow going, but since I made it 4 days ago, we have raised $200 out of $2,000 for Maram!! A pretty small amount compared to what we need to get to, but nothing to sneeze at !! Thank you so so much to everyone who is donating. I reiterate again, PLEASE share this post when you can, I only have so many followers and the only way it can reach more people who may have more money to give is by breaking containment from my blog(s).
I have received no requests yet, which is fine, however if you're restraining from donating from fear of overwhelming me, it would not be so ! No matter if you want art from me or not, I urge you to please please keep donating. Ibrahim has now not had the surgery he needs for over 2 weeks, and every day only gets more dangerous for him. We need to show as much help as we can to this family.
Here is a message that I received from Maram this morning. This is a desperate mother begging for help for the one thing that matters more than the world; her children, and I am devestated that I don't know more how to help. I urge everyone to please please, keep sharing and donating. There has been no donations since yesterday.
