Dear Tumblr souls, you beautiful, strange humansโ
you laugh through the pain,
you turn sadness into soft, glowing aesthetics,
you post memes in the darkest hours,
and somehow, your hearts remain warm.
When you feel someone is hurting,
you become shelterโan open hand, asking for nothing in return.
I'm not asking for pity, but right nowโฆ I need you.
I'm Kareman from Gaza ๐ต๐ธ๐ธ.

I'm trying to get through what life threw at meโwith an open heart ,We were displaced ,There was bombing everywhereโloud, close, terrifying ,We fled with nothing but our lives.๐๐
Our dreams have changed ,We no longer dream of tomorrowโ ,our dream todayโฆ is simply to eat.
My son, Hamoud๐ฅน, asks me, โMama, when is dinner?โ
And sometimesโฆ I have no answer.
That kind of pain shouldn't exist in a mother's heart๐ญ.
If you can help๐ฅนโค๏ธ, even a littleโthis is the donation link:

And if you can't, sharing this could still bring us one step closer to a meal.
Thank you, deeply.๐ธ"
