The important stuff is in my bio. I post about my interests a lot but this isn’t a fandom blog. Have a good day. If today isn’t good, then tomorrow will be.

Imagine waking up to the deafening roar of explosions, your tent shaking violently as the earth trembles beneath you.In an instant, everything is chaos—your children scream in terror, clutching onto you as you scramble to escape. The sky is filled with smoke and falling debris, the air thick with dust and panic. There is no time to think, no time to gather what little you have left. You run—barefoot, desperate, carrying your baby in your arms—praying that you will make it out alive.
Images: Hossam sent us images of what his family’s tent looks like today after violent airstrikes in Gaza last night (03/17/2025).
Video: to further prove the validity of Hossam’s story, we have included an Al Jazeera news report that Hossam sent to us, in which he briefly appears (at the 0:48 mark)
For Hossam Al-Qazzaz and his family, this nightmare became reality LAST NIGHT (03/17/2025) when an airstrike obliterated their tent—their last refuge after losing their home, a casualty of the war in Gaza. With no shelter, no safety, and nowhere left to run, they are once again plunged into unimaginable uncertainty as the ceasefire in Gaza collapses and war reignites around them.
Hossam, a dedicated father of four, has already lost his home, his job, and his peace of mind due to the relentless bombardments in Gaza in the 15 months preceding the now,-collapsed ceasefire. Now, with nothing but debris around them, he, his wife Hanan, and their four children—Bashar (9), Hani (8), Diana (4), and 5-month-old Habiba—are now struggling to survive with no roof over their heads.
The suffering extends beyond Hossam, his wife, and his children.Hossam is also the sole caretaker of his elderly parents, aged 75 and 72, both in fragile health. His father is suffering from severe burns and urgently needs medical care, while his mother battles high blood pressure and requires constant attention. But with no home, no stable source of income, and skyrocketing prices for essentials like rice and cooking gas—driven by the border closures and the ban on goods entering Gaza—Hossam is trapped in an incredibly difficult and stressful situation.
Despite these unbearable challenges, Hossam is not asking for much—only the money needed to survive, and to be able to evacuate to safety when the border crossing opens again.
“All we want is to live in dignity,” Hossam pleads.
This is where you can make a difference.Every small donation—no matter how modest—can help provide food, clothing, and medical care for Hossam, Hanan, their children, and elderly parents. It can help ensure that Habiba gets the milk and diapers she desperately needs and that his family is not left out in the open with nowhere to turn.
Please, if you can, donate or share Hossam’s story today. Your support can be the difference between survival and despair.
Please consider donating to the Al-Qazzaz family’s original fundraiser to help them buy food and essentials and rebuild their tent:
Our founder, Bethany-Grace ( @rumiandroses ) is also sponsoring a fundraising campaign to help Hossam, Hanan and their entire family evacuate to safety.If everyone donates a little, we might be able to get them to safety the moment the border crossing opens again:
Together, we can ensure that Hossam’s family does not just survive—but begins to rebuild a life of safety, stability, and hope.
Hossam’s campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters, and (#287) on their list of verified campaigns.
We miraculously survived.
It seems that I will enter a severe depression, because I even lost the tent that sheltered me and my family, and my only consolation is that my family and I got out from under the rubble without any harm, but my body is still trembling and fear controls me when I hear a sound Planes please my friends don’t leave us stand by us please for the sake of my little children
Hello my friend, I hope you are well. Our tent was bombed and we miraculously escaped death, but unfortunately our tent was completely destroyed. Now my wife and children are staying in my wife’s father’s house, and I am sleeping next to our destroyed tent. To build a new tent, we need $800. I have collected almost half of the amount from donations, so please donate to us. All we aspire to is to build a tent to shelter me and my family and to reunite us again. Please, my friend, stand with us, because I miss my wife and children very much. I trust you.
