PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

This is my home Which was destroyed by the accursed occupation yesterday I'm not sad about the stones I'm sad about the memories I hope this damned war ends 💔💔😔 🍉🇵🇸

vetted by @90-ghost

My name is Donia. I am 34 years old and a mother of eight. I never imagined that one day I would have to write a message like this and ask strangers for help just to keep my children safe and fed.Before everything happened, our life was simple. We were not rich, but we had a home, safety, and hope for our children’s future. My husband worked hard every day to provide for us, and we were grateful for the small things in life.Then everything changed.My husband was injured and now has internal metal plates in the joint of his right leg. Because of his injury, he cannot work like before, and even moving is painful for him. Our situation became even harder when the war and famine began.During the worst time of the famine, I was pregnant. I still remember those days with pain in my heart. There were days when we did not even have one kilo of flour in the house. Imagine being a mother, carrying a child in your womb, while not knowing if you will be able to feed your family that day.We were displaced from our home and forced to leave everything behind. We lived through fear, hunger, and uncertainty. After some time we tried to return to our home, hoping life might become a little more stable again. But soon the area became dangerous, and we had no choice but to leave once more.Now we live in a small tent in Al-Daraj.In the middle of all this suffering, I gave birth to my baby boy, Saeed. The moment that should have been filled with joy was instead filled with worry and helplessness. When my baby was born, I did not even have clothes for him. I had to borrow tiny clothes from our neighbors so my newborn would have something to wear.As a mother, that feeling broke my heart.

I am from Gaza — a father whose only goal is to keep his children alive.Our home was destroyed 🏚️,

and we no longer have a place to shelter.We move from one place to another, searching for safety, warmth, and a piece of bread 🍞.

My children go to sleep hungry 😢,and my wife and daughter were injured and are still living with pain 💔.

There is no work, no income, and no certainty about tomorrow — only fear.In Gaza, we do not dream big dreams.We only dream of a day that passes in peace 🌅,

a meal that fills our children’s stomachs,and a night where they can sleep withouut the sound of bombing.This is not just a story of sorrow,but the testimony of a human being trying to survive,clinging to life despite everything.Gaza is not numbers.

Gaza is faces, children, and hearts that grow tired — but never surrender 🇵🇸

Please donate & share

Hello friends,Thank you for your continued support, but I would like to inform you about something. Recently, donations have become very low or almost nonexistent. I don’t know exactly why, but I believe it may be due to the presence of many scammers. Unfortunately, there are some people who exploit others. However, my campaign has been reviewed and verified by trusted individuals.

I am responsible for taking care of 8 members of my family, and there is no provider or source of income for them except me. The situation is extremely difficult. The war has not ended every day there are many innocent people losing their lives for no reason.

Prices have risen drastically. For example, even a small plate of vegetable salad now costs more than $10, and many other basic items are very expensive. In addition, the value of the dollar has dropped against the shekel, where $1 is now about 2.9 shekels, while it used to be around 3.8. There is severe inflation and a very high increase in prices.

So please try to support me. If you are unable to donate, you can still help by sharing. I am trying my best to take care of my family.

Hello friends,Please, I am asking for your help and support. My fundraiser is moving very slowly, and my daughter Fatoum is very sick. As you can see in the photos, she has developed a bacterial infection caused by insects and the harsh weather conditions.Her condition is getting worse every day.

We are living through the horrors of war in every possible way. Every day there are innocent children and civilians being killed. My daughter is an orphan. She lost her father in the war, and I do not want to lose her too.

Please, if you can, support and help us. I am only trying to provide the most basic necessities of life for my family and get the care my daughter needs.Any donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference.Please don’t ignore our plea. 🥺😭💔

Hello friends, I am your friend Alaa, who lost her husband in the war. I gave birth to my daughter, Fatoum, without her ever seeing her father.

We are going through a very difficult humanitarian situation.

My campaign is extremely weak, and it is my only source of income for my daughter, Fatoum.

Fatoum is sick because of the cold weather and the lack of proper heating.

We are suffering greatly from all conditions. Our tent is very poor and not suitable for living.Everything here is hard to find. There is no source of income, no money, and my daughter is very ill.

Please help me.😭🙏🙏

This is a humanitarian case, and no matter how small your donation is, it will help me provide a dignified life for my daughter.

My name is Maram, I am 25 years old from Gaza. I dreamed of a peaceful life, spending my life with my husband and my three children... but the war turned this dream into an impossible one 💔😭. We lived through this genocide with all its painful details and we are still suffering from it😭. We were so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in northern Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the south of the Gaza Strip. After repairing a small room in our destroyed house, we began to live there and start over. Unfortunately, the war came back, and it was even stronger than before 💔. Now, we have no shelter or source of income. We have used up all our savings during the war. I know I created my campaign very late, but that's because I have no other means to help my family 🙏. I am completely confident and hopeful that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these tough circumstances 😔.

I know how painful and frustrating it is to start over from scratch, but I hope to get any amount for my family 🥺🙏.

💔 I AM NOT WRITING THIS BECAUSE I WANT ATTENTION…

AND NOT BECAUSE I WANT SYMPATHY OR PITY.

I AM WRITING BECAUSE SOMETIMES WORDS ARE THE ONLY WAY I CAN HOLD WHAT IS LEFT INSIDE ME… BEFORE IT SLIPS AWAY IN SILENCE.

🌧️ MY NAME IS DOAA.

I AM 25 YEARS OLD.

AND I AM A UNIVERSITY STUDENT… TRYING TO BUILD A FUTURE WHILE CARRYING A PAST THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS FEEL HEAVY, BUT SOMETIMES FEELS UNBEARABLE.

📚 I STUDY, I TRY, I WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND PRETEND THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL… EVEN WHEN MY HEART IS NOT ALWAYS IN THE SAME PLACE AS MY LIFE.

🏚️ I USED TO BELIEVE THAT HOME WAS SOMETHING PERMANENT.

THAT IT MEANT SAFETY, LAUGHTER, AND A PLACE THAT WOULD ALWAYS WAIT FOR ME NO MATTER WHAT.

BUT LIFE TAUGHT ME OTHERWISE.

SOMETIMES WHAT WE CALL “HOME” DOES NOT STAY FOREVER…

SOMETIMES IT BECOMES A MEMORY YOU CARRY INSIDE YOU WHILE YOU STAND SOMEWHERE ELSE.

💔 I AM STANDING NOW ON WHAT IS LEFT OF THAT MEMORY…

ON RUINS THAT ONCE HELD EVERYTHING I KNEW.

LAUGHTER, VOICES, SIMPLE DAYS, AND MOMENTS I NEVER THOUGHT WOULD EVER END.

🌫️ AND NOW THERE IS SILENCE.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SILENCE… ONE THAT DOES NOT JUST EXIST AROUND ME, BUT INSIDE ME TOO.

💭 I WON’T PRETEND IT DOESN’T HURT.

SOME DAYS IT HURTS IN WAYS I CANNOT EXPLAIN TO ANYONE.

NOT LOUD… JUST DEEP.

LIKE SOMETHING MISSING THAT YOU CANNOT NAME.

🌙 BUT EVEN WITH ALL OF THAT… I AM STILL HERE.

STILL STUDYING 📚

STILL TRYING 🌿

STILL WALKING THROUGH DAYS THAT DON’T ALWAYS FEEL EASY.

BECAUSE LIFE, EVEN WHEN IT BREAKS YOU, DOES NOT ALWAYS STOP YOU COMPLETELY.

🔁 SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I AM REBUILDING MYSELF WHILE STILL HOLDING THE PIECES OF WHAT I LOST.

TRYING TO BALANCE WHO I WAS… AND WHO I AM BECOMING.

💫 AND SLOWLY… I AM LEARNING SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

I AM NOT ONLY WHAT WAS TAKEN FROM ME.

I AM ALSO WHAT REMAINS WITHIN ME.

MEMORIES 📸 STILL LIVE INSIDE ME

STRENGTH 💪 IS STILL GROWING IN SILENCE

AND A HEART ❤️ THAT HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT… STILL REFUSES TO STOP BEATING

🌈 MAYBE LIFE DOES NOT ALWAYS RETURN WHAT IT TAKES.

MAYBE IT DOES NOT REBUILD THE SAME WALLS OR THE SAME DAYS.

BUT IT GIVES SOMETHING ELSE…

THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE 🌙

THE ABILITY TO FIND MEANING IN SURVIVING 🌿

THE ABILITY TO KEEP GOING EVEN WHEN EVERYTHING FEELS DIFFERENT

💛 I DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS…

BUT I KNOW THAT I AM STILL HERE.

AND THAT ALONE… IS SOMETHING.

Hello friends, I thank you very much for your continuous support, but right now I am in urgent need of you and your help. We are now in the holy month of Ramadan, which requires a lot of expenses, and there has been a significant rise in prices.

I also need to pursue my dream after losing everything. I need your support greatly—I need more than $1,500 to pay my university fees so I can receive my certificate and apply for scholarships.

You can find the images below the post.

Therefore, I am in great need of your help. I support my family, and at the same time, I am trying to achieve myself and continue my education.

My name is Tasneem, from Gaza. 🕊️

My father was martyred in the war 💔, and since then life has become much heavier… Despite everything, I worked hard and graduated high school with a 93% average 🎓, still holding on to my dream of continuing my education.

I was able to enroll at the University College of Applied Sciences and complete my first semester, but I couldn’t continue due to accumulated fees I cannot afford.

We are a family of seven 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. Our home was completely destroyed 🏚️, and now we live in a worn-out tent by the sea 🌊, struggling every day just to survive.

My younger brothers, Adam and Ahmed 👦👦, are orphans growing up in hardship, and my sister Arwa was unable to start high school because we cannot afford the fees 📚.

My mother is doing everything she can 🤍, but the burden has become too much.

I am asking for a chance… to continue my education, to help my sister return to school, and to give my brothers a more stable life 🌱

Any support—even if small—can truly make a difference in our lives 🙏✨

Hello my friends, I will always be grateful for your support, but Tumblr deleted my main account and I honestly do not know why.The truth is that I have no source of income and no stable way to survive. I urgently need your help.

Everything here has become extremely expensive, and the war has never truly stopped. Every moment, every day, and every night, there are more martyrs and more rising prices.

I truly need your support. Even if you cannot donate, please at least share and support my campaign. And if you are able to help, even a small donation like $15 can make a difference for me.

So any donation or contribution you make will help me buy basic living necessities and at least provide simple crochet supplies so I can continue making and selling my work to earn some money.I am only trying to provide food, water, and the most basic crochet tools — just the essential things.

Please try to support me.

And these are some of the crochet pieces I have made recently.

Please donate & share 🤍

No help, No support, so No food no medicine for my parents 💔

Being hopeless and have nothing to do with this difficult situation makes me depressed especially I can’t get food for ten members 💔

I’m only 15 years old and I have to take care of my family, providing them with food, water, and basics just to stay alive another day😔💔

Help me just a little to be able to get food for my family please 🙏
