#drdarine

I'd like to share how I came to work with @drdarine.

A family in Gaza reached out, asking if I could help illustrate their story. They had seen my art supporting verified fundraisers and hoped I could give a voice to their experience.

The Dawoud family shared a brief but powerful script describing their ordeal a journey of displacement, fear, and survival. Since then, I’ve had the honor of illustrating several of their stories, doing my best to capture both their pain and their resilience. You can see them here:

Love and the Shadow of the Tent

The Return to Home

Return to the Shadow of the Tent

Khaled's story

They are #15 on Gazavetters' list. I'm not a vetter myself, but I would also vouch for this family if the world depended on it; they are honest and respectful. I've never felt pressured or misled while working with them.

I'm honored and humbled to work with this family. Their dignity in the face of such hardships has astounded me. I ask you all to read their story and do whatever you can to help.

I was told about her by the Alanquar family who asked me to also reblog her campaign

 oediex.tumblr.com is in contact with her almost every day.

is #15 on the gazavetters list, and was also shared by @/nabulsi here and here.

Do I need to lie? Do I need to exaggerate the horrors we went through so that the depth of the pain can be understood?

I invite you to visit my blog. Just a very simple glance, perhaps you’ll catch a glimpse of my pain, of my lost present.. my lost future.😔

Yes, I need help. I say it without hesitation, without shame. Please, I need help.

I'm human, and I'm asking you to act from your humanity.

Thank you ❤️

a Family trapped in the land of destruction, death, loss, and famine.

Please help in any way possible to you.

Your help is not just support it’s survival.

Thank you. 💗

Sometimes, all we need is to know that we're not alone and that someone out there cares enough to respond. A simple reply can make all the difference.

This is another drawing I made for my dear friend Hani @dawoudi to help him spread his fundraiser to support his family in Gaza. Right now, they desperately need help to stay warm and sheltered in the coming winter; their home was completely demolished before the current ceasefire began. The break in the bombing does not protect them from starvation and the elements. More info about their story on their blog here.

This is a vetted campaign, #15 on Gazavetters. This family is made up of some of the bravest and kindest people I know, please consider giving what you can, and spreading their story to whoever you can.
