My name is Rania Youssef. I was born in a beautiful city that was teeming with life and art. Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming a professional painter. For me, art was more than just a hobby or a passion; it was a way to express my thoughts and feelings, and to try to create a more beautiful world around me. After much effort, I graduated from a prestigious university just two months before the war broke out. My graduation day was one of the happiest days of my life; I felt that the doors of the future had opened before me, and that my dreams were closer than ever.

But suddenly, the war changed everything. Destruction began to sweep across the city I loved, and the streets were filled with fear and anxiety. The life I knew vanished, and the bright colors I used to paint disappeared. I could hear the sounds of explosions all around us, while fear crept into my heart for my family, trapped in a neighborhood that was deteriorating every day. Amidst all this devastation, my passion for drawing never wavered. I began to paint what I saw and felt, as if I were using my colors to document the tragedies of war and preserve the memory of my city before it was consumed by destruction.

Today, I stand on the balcony of my cracked home, holding my brush, trying to find a glimmer of hope in this painful reality. I feel a great responsibility towards my family, as they need someone to rescue them and rescue them from this hell in which they live. That is why I ask for your support and assistance. I want to get them to a safe place, to ensure they live a life far from the sounds of bullets and the smell of smoke. I still believe that art can send a message of peace and that it can unite us around one word despite the destruction. I, Rania Youssef, am a painter who carries in her heart an unquenchable hope, dreaming of a day when my city is free again, and when my family can return to a dignified life filled with security.

She lost her support, but she didn't lose you

The father is the family's protector, the knight in his daughter's eyes, the steadfast guardian, the unshakable fortress. Now, imagine the overwhelming heartbreak when this fortress crumbles before her very eyes. Imagine the devastating void a daughter feels when her sense of security is ripped away. This is exactly what happened to Rania.

Rania, a sensitive and gifted artist, witnessed the unimaginable—her father, her source of safety and strength, was taken from her in front of her very eyes while the family sought refuge in Al-Shifa Hospital.

Despite the crushing weight of her loss, Rania continues to channel her pain and the collective suffering of Palestinians through her art. Her work speaks volumes about resilience, hope, and the indomitable human spirit.

But Rania needs our help to keep going. She now carries the burden of caring for her mother, her siblings, and their children. Supporting Rania not only honors her father’s memory but also ensures that her art, her story, and her family’s survival continue to inspire us all. Let us stand with Rania and enable her to be a family supporter after her father

Donate to bloom this family from your donations. This artist Rania embodies the drawing of Al-Ghazawi steadfastness, but it will withstand your donations and green trees will appear. With the increase in donations, the drawing will be completed with green trees and the names of donors.

“Bad days can pass with your donations.

**“My name is Rania Youssef. I express the painful reality I live through my art and drawings. Art is my voice, my way of sharing my inner struggles with the world. At this stage, I am seeking the support of artists or donors who can help me spread my campaign and my art to reach as many people as possible.

My family’s daily expenses range between €150-200, a sum we struggle to meet every single day. My father is no longer with us—he was killed by the occupation forces during the siege of Al-Shifa Hospital, right in front of my younger siblings. Now, the responsibility of my family falls entirely on my shoulders.

I live in northern Gaza, where the situation is unbearable. You already know the brutalities committed by the occupation in this region. For political reasons, I cannot share every detail here, but I’m sure you understand.

If you are unable to donate to my campaign, you can still help by sharing it with your friends. Write a few words that capture their attention, and together, we can ensure that my family has a chance to survive.

This is Saleh al-Din and her brother Huda, the children of my sister, who was not three years old, and they are now between a conflict between hunger and bombing in northern Gaza, which means from the war since October 7, Saleh and Huda has not seen their child. Saleh was flying over him. Saleh was shouting over him when he screams and says throw playing here. He wished a game to play instead of hearing the sound of shelling and feeling hungry, so I wish everyone who has a living conscience by participating in the publication or donating Saleh, Huda and the rest of my family so that we can live their child❤️💔

Stagnating campaign close to its goal!!

I'm making this post for a fundraiser I've been supporting since the summer. This fundraiser belongs to @skatehani who is fundraising on behalf of his family in Gaza.

He is vetted, number 75 on the vetted fundraiser spreadsheet created by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi.

Apart from my donation today, the last donation was 13 days ago!! They cannot reach their goal if this pace keeps up. Lets not forget the people who aren't able to promote their fundraisers on tumblr.

Hello, I am Tawfiq Al-Tatri, I am 40 years old, from Gaza, and I have 5 children. Now I live in a refugee camp with my children because of the destruction of my home and repeated displacement, something that no one can bear because of our presence in a tent and the extreme cold at night. Every day we move from one place to another. My house was destroyed on My family, fortunately, we came out alive after losing many of my relatives and neighbors after the destruction of the neighborhood in which I live. Now I am trying to save my children’s lives from death and save their future. The only thing I can do is create this campaign with your help and the help of my cousin who lives in Belgium. Therefore, I ask you with hope to help me save. The costs of coordination from Gaza to Egypt and saving the lives of my children and getting them out of the trauma of war so that they can live a normal life like the rest of the children in the world. I am asking you because I am confident that you feel what we feel here in Gaza. Thank you.

I was displaced for the sixth time from my city after the occupation planes bombed the house from which I was displaced the last time. I went to Kamal Adwan Hospital with my children until the hospital was surrounded and I was arrested and my children were left in the street for long hours until they left me. Now I live in a displacement center in the middle of Gaza.

My full number was given by the young man Hussein (207). Thank you. I hope you continue to support me.
