Seeing yourself as capable and being able to make decisions calmly and on your own terms is a bigger life upgrade than any job or life opportunity itself could validate or offer
Anaïs Nin, from The Voice
“are you busy today?”
The forest parts and the sword glows. Do you take it or leave it be?
Dorothy Allison, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure
I want to tell you something about my friend Nader. He is a kind hearted young man. Even in all of his suffering and pain, he will take the time to tell me to wear a scarf so I don’t get sick when it’s cold, worry about me if I post about my injury, and ask me about my day. He doesn’t have to do any of this to be deserving of help, but I just want you to know who he is. He is a caring son to his father Ahmed and a loving uncle to his niece Iman. He spends all this time online campaigning for them because he loves his family and he wants to live. We all deserve to eat and live in peace. Nader’s family have the right to live, just as much as anyone born anywhere else in the world. Nader is the son of a father who is sick with cancer, who can’t access adequate treatment because the hospitals have been bombed. Remember this: the children of Gaza are children, just like your children or siblings and my cousins. The IOF drops bombs on them and starves them, and they’re just as scared as you would be if your parent was sick. I know that most of you understand this. Never let yourself forget that they’re more than a headline that tells you the number of people killed in today’s airstrike on Gaza.
Nader works hard to spread his family’s story every day, out of love for them. Nader is now, at 17 years old, the person bringing in money for his family. It’s a heavy responsibility on him. I hope you will return the kindness he shows others to him, and support his campaign. The weight of this should’ve never been on his shoulders, but you can help relieve it. Share his story and donate to his campaign, show him support on his blog @abdalsalam2000. In addition to sharing about his family, he has also shared a lot of informative posts about Palestinian history and what is happening right now in Gaza. If you’ve ever learned something from his posts, helping him now would be a good way to give something back to him
This has gone on for nearly one year and eight months. Can you imagine how exhausted you would be? They don’t have food or water, they can’t sleep because of the bombs.
