I just want my baby sister back. I’m terrified of losing her she’s still just a child, someone who should be learning, growing, and playing with her friends.

Maryam needs your help and support please don’t let her down.

When I look at this picture, I see a child who should be allowed to enjoy a beautiful moment without fear or worry. But I am writing this because I need help providing basic essentials for my family.

I am sharing this because I want people to see him first, and to remember that behind every fundr@iser_ there is a real family trying to hold on.

If you can don@te_, thank you.

If you can’t, reblogging this post would still h_elp us.

Diala never imagined her life would turn into a daily fight for survival.

Diala is 31 years old, from Gaza.

She graduated in Health Administration in 2017, got married in 2019, and is a mother of three:

Hisham (6 years old), Moamen (4 years old), and little Taj… her miracle baby.

Before the war, her life was stable:

a home, a car, jobs for her and her husband, and a sense of security.

But in a moment… everything was lost.

With the war, Diala lost her home, her stability, and her livelihood.

As famine spread, her health severely declined due to malnutrition, leading to kidney stones and the placement of a stent to ease her pain.

Despite everything… she was pregnant.

On May 7, 2024, Diala suffered a serious head injury, resulting in a skull fracture while she was in her fifth month of pregnancy.

Doctors faced a heartbreaking decision… her life or her baby’s.

But against all odds, Taj survived and was born—a symbol of life in the midst of suffering.

Today, Diala and her family of five live in a tent that cannot protect them from the heat of summer or the cold of winter.

And her struggle is not over…

💔 She urgently needs two surgeries:

The first: reconstructive surgery for her head injury

The second: removal of kidney stones and the stent

💔 Her family also needs at least $50 per day just to cover basic food and essential needs.

Still, Diala continues to hold on.

She is not asking for luxury… only:

a safe place, a chance for a dignified life, and a stable source of income to protect her children from hardship.

Her goal is to raise $25,000

to start over… and rebuild a life for her family.

🤍 This is not just a story… this is real life

🤲 Any support, no matter how small, can make a real difference

📢 Please share this story—someone out there may be able to help

James Broadnax is a young man who was sentenced to death for the shooting deaths of two people during an armed robbery, in 2008, when he was 19 years old. He had no true part in their deaths.

The true culprit, Demarius Cummings, has already admitted that he was the person that killed those people, and is currently serving life without parole.

Broadnax has spent 2 decades on death row already, and even though he did not kill the victims, he is very remorseful over their deaths. He has since taught classes on deescalation between prisoners and staff while incarcerated. Even if he hadn't transformed, he does not deserve to die in such a cruel manner. But the state is trying to execute him for a crime he didn't truly commit Learn more about him here!.

this azuleopal user is yet another example of the depth of zionist delusions. it is not “antisemitic” to say any of these words.

israel is inherently an occupying state, the only way israel can exist is through the violent subjugation of the indigenous palestinians.

it is not “antisemitic” to refer to israel’s actions as genocidal, it’s just the truth. israel has proven time and time again, as they bomb hospitals, schools, and refugee camps, that they think that the loss and removal of palestinian life is necessary in order to fulfill the zionist settler-colonial project.

and as for the term “zionazi” (which in all honesty is not that rampant, its not as used as much as zionist itself), it is accurate to say that the israeli colonial system has inflicted violence and ethnic cleansing upon palestinians much in the same way the nazis did to the jews, so of course people are going to make a connection between the genocidal ideologies of zionism and nazism.

Stem cell therapy is my only hope to get back on my feet. Thanks to your support, I was able to receive the first dose, and this has given me back hope after I was on the verge of losing it.

But today I need the second dose to continue the treatment… Please don't leave me halfway through. Even the smallest contribution from you could bring me one step closer to regaining my life.

Help me walk again… My hope in you is still alive. 🤍🙏

Donation link here 👈👈

The second dose of the treatment costs 600 euros.

We are living a nightmare we never imagined 😭💔

In Gaza, nothing is normal, and safety is just an illusion. My little sister was simply walking home from school, thinking about her day, her dreams, her future… when suddenly, a violent airstrike hit near her. In a single moment, everything changed. A piece of shrapnel struck her in the head.😔

She fell to the ground, covered in blood. We found her not moving and since that moment, our lives have been frozen in fear.

Now she is in the ICU, unconscious, fighting between life and death. I can’t describe the pain of seeing her like this my sister, who was laughing just hours before, is now connected to machines, barely breathing.

Doctors told us she urgently needs surgery to remove the shrapnel from her head. Without it we might lose her forever.

We need $1,200 immediately. Every minute matters. Every second could be the difference between life and death.

Please… don’t scroll past this. I’m begging you from the bottom of my heart don’t let her die. She is not just a number, not just another story from Gaza. She is a daughter, a dreamer, a child who deserves to live.

We have nothing left but hope and your kindness

Even the smallest donation could save her life. Please stand with us. Please help us bring her back.🙏😔💔

I don’t want to lose my sister… I can’t 😭💔

My son is in real danger right now, and every minute that passes increases his pain and brings us closer to a moment I cannot even bear to imagine.

He is just a child innocent, fragile, and exhausted from fighting pain that no child should ever have to endure. He cries at night because he cannot sleep, and he asks me to make the pain stop… while I stand there helpless, tears in my eyes, with nothing but hope. Please donate

The doctors have made it clear: without the required funds, he cannot receive the urgent treatment he needs. This is not something that can be delayed it is a matter of life.

I am not asking for sympathy… I am asking for a chance to save my son. Vetted by #731
