march 1st, 2021

isn’t it funny how time seems to stretch and shrink constantly? now that march is here it feels like last march, pre-lockdown, has been both forever and just yesterday. are you feeling it too?

in the meantime, I’m taking deep breaths, prepping for a data science midterm, and enjoying the linguistics unit in my cognitive science class. 

happy march friends 💛

6-year-old Joan Al-Habil is has been repeatedly hospitalized due to severe gastrointestinal problems and overwhelming fatigue. This poor girl has been to multiple facilities and seen multiple doctors, undergone extensive testing (as extensive as is possible in Gaza's collapsed medical system), even having to endure an unsedated endoscopy.

She has now been diagnosed with severe gastritis due to starvation and hazardous living conditions. Remember, she and her family are living on the streets, which are cold and wet due to winter rain. Homelessness, stress, exposure to the elements, her previous injury when the lOF firebombed her tent, and malnutrition all conspire to sap little Joan of her strength.

Her condition is so serious that she even had to undergo surgery. Gastritis very rarely requires surgery to treat, so this is an indication of how dire her condition is. The surgery was successful to a degree, but she is going to need ongoing treatment to manage her symptoms.

The treatments are administered weekly and cost $500 USD (just under €500 EUR). Her family has no income and cannot afford this. If Joan goes more than a few days without treatment, her symptoms worsen rapidly, and she sometimes has to be hospitalized. It is vital that we help her family procure her treatments so that her condition does not worsen!

You can help Joan get her surgery and treatment by

thursday, 12:31 pm have my last and most important exam on russian literature tomorrow and I’m scared to death to be honest. suffering from “hermione granger syndrome” and working my ass off just to get an excellent mark and approval has been very hard for me throughout the 16 years of studying. well, at least I’m aware of the problem :)
