Hi,
I am safaa, a mother from Gaza 🇵🇸🍉, writing to you with a heavy heart and great worries in this harsh winter. ❄️ We are in dire need of 2 tents, blankets and clothes to keep my children warm and safe. 🏕️
I sent this message to only 40 people, and if each of them donates just 30 euros, I will be able to achieve my first goal: to provide clothes for my children and family and keep them alive. 👨👩👧👦💔

“1. Two tents: 2000 euros- One tent for each family, strong and weather-resistant, to provide shelter and protect my children from the bitter cold.
2. Simple bathroom: 1000 euros- To meet our basic needs and restore some of our dignity.
3. Bed covers and blankets: 1200 euros- To provide warmth to our children and the elderly during the harsh winter nights.
4. Winter clothes: 800 euros - Includes jackets, shoes and wool socks to protect my family from the cold. ”
These are words from Safaa, from Gaza, who is asking for our help.
If you could share or donate, please do so.

Thank you.
ive said it before and i'll say it again but carrying a weapon does not make you safer, it gives the person assaulting you a free weapon. i know we live in a time where fear is profitable and the cute pink stun guns make feminism sexy but they do not work like you think they do.
there is an extremely slim chance you will be able to deploy the pepper spray/taser/gun in a way that does not harm you at all. pepper spray blows back, guns miss, tasers slip. there is a much much larger chance things go poorly and you end up getting hurt worse than originally intended because now your assailant is pissed and more heavily armed.
im not talking out my ass here, i'm a case manager at a homeless shelter for addicts. we have a lot of violent behavior. none of our staff carry any sort of weapons. we are trained to de-escalate or remove ourselves from the situation. i have worked there over two years without being harmed despite intervening in many fights and having weapons pulled on me.
there is safety in numbers. there is safety in well lit streets and staying on your phone and knowing when to scream and run. there is no safety in "personal defense items".
more people carrying weapons makes more violence
it's an illusion. it's a mental game. a weapon is a safety blanket that will sooner kill you than stop someone else from doing so.
we are also not in PVP grand theft auto. as scary as things seem, humans are not out there re-enacting the purge 24/7. there are lots of people who benefit from you being afraid of everyone you pass on the street. a lot of those people will try to sell you things to keep you safe. don't fall for it.
“Fallen prey to his own beliefs [...] He’s a guy who’s resigned to his indentured servitude of being alive. But he despises the sentence and the penance. He will not accept defeat. He’s not going become a madman, he’s not going to kill himself. He wrestles the devil every day, and he realizes that this may last a lot longer than he ever hoped for.”
