I know they have no relation but heyyyy they both use hammers as weapons!!!!
My name is Saja. Iām a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow ā from her first smile to her first steps ā surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.
But life had other plans.
War has returned to our home. Again. And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.
There was a moment ā a fragile, breathless moment ā when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark ā hiding, holding on, praying.
Iām writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.
Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.
This is my life.
This is my daughterās life.
And even now ā especially now ā I believe in softness. I believe in kindness. Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.
Why Iām Reaching Out Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.
Thatās why I keep going.
Iāve launched a campaign to ask for help ā not because itās easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.
How You Can Help: š¤ Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity š¤ Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources š¤ Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war
š If you can, please support our journey here:
If you canāt give, please consider sharing. Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.
From My Heart to Yours Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe youāve never lived through war. But if youāve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them ā then you understand more than you know.
I donāt want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.
Please, if youāve read this far ā thank you. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring. We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like itās a lifeline.
At Waffle House for the first time!

Scrumptious, 10/10
My name is Nadin. I never imagined I would write something like this. Iāve always been someone who kept her worries quiet, someone who believed that even the hardest days could be endured with patience and faith. But right now, I am reaching out ā not because I want to, but because I need to.
I am a wife, a mother, and one of many women in Gaza trying to survive days that feel like they have no end. There was a short time ā a brief ceasefire ā where we thought things might start to heal. Where the sound of war faded for just long enough to let us breathe. But that moment is gone now, and the fear has returned louder than before.
My days are filled with uncertainty, and my nights with prayer. We have lost so much. Our home was damaged, our sense of safety taken from us. But through all of this, I try to keep going. I try to hold on to what little peace I can create with my hands, my words, and my love.
I am not asking for much. Just a little help to keep our lives from falling further apart. To fix the small things ā a cracked wall, a leaking roof, the pieces of daily life that help us hold on to dignity.
This campaign isnāt just about survival. Itās about holding on to what makes us human in a place that keeps trying to take that away. Itās about showing my daughter ā even though I wonāt mention her name here ā that the world didnāt forget us.
If youāve ever felt powerless in the face of suffering, please know that even the smallest gesture can carry great meaning. A kind word. A shared post. A quiet donation. These things remind us that weāre not alone.
I am still here. Still holding on. Still believing that people out there ā people like you ā still care.
Please, if you feel moved, consider supporting or sharing this campaign.

I might go with something different, but I would like to hear others opinions to help
I personally find the face vents of Transformers pretty fascinating. Like the ones Optimus and Starscream have.
Which doesnāt really look like part of their disguises really.
So does these face vents have any actual functions to their biology? Why are they there?
And why only a few of them have it and not everyone? I think these two are the only ones in the show who have them. And we see in Arceeās Tailgate flashbacks, she used to have one, too.
(āPredatoryā, Season One Episode Twelve)
But not anymore
(āPredatoryā, Season One Episode Twelve) And we know that Transformers donāt need oxygens according to Bulkhead in āRock Bottomā, Season one Episode 19, so why do some even have a vent in the first place?
Now, hear me out. Because I have an idea.
So, the grills on actual cars are there to be used to cool down its internal engines, so I think maybe, for the Transformers, it works the same. Ratchet and Bulkhead also got belly grills so those probably act the same too, and not just part of their disguise.
Maybe some Transformers, not all, would experience overheating when stressed out. So they need bigger vents, closer to their face so it can bring the cool air to their brain faster, help them calm down when they overheat. It could be that they overheat when under stress, and thus become uncomfortable, distraction, and more stressed out. And when they got a vent to keep away those heat, it can make them more comfortable and calm.
So it is like a soothing mechanism for some transformers I think. Beside I bet the hearing the blowing of wind by their face constantly can also feel comfortable sometimes.
That would explain a lot because Optimus got the biggest vents of all, and he totally needs them for all the stress heās been through, and maybe this is even one of the main reason why heās still relatively calm despite everything.
Starscreamās is obviously not big enough.
Maybe Ratchet and Bulkheadās belly grills also works the same. But it surly didnāt help Ratchet much. Or those could just be disguises.
And as for Arcee, I can totally imagine that she had her mood swings and grumpiness even before Tailgateās death, and got a vent to help herself be kind of nicer and calmer. But After Tailgateās death she sealed her vent off with that diamond shape shield on her horn, because she wanted to use her anger to revenge and didnāt want to be calm anymore.
šØ My Name is Nasr ā and This is Our Cry for Help šØ
Iām writing this with a heart full of pain and hope.
My name is Nasr, a young man from Gaza, and Iām sharing our story not because I want toābut because I have to.
š The war took everything from us.
In just moments, my entire world collapsed.
My mother and sister were killed in an airstrike.
My father is seriously ill and unable to work or provide for us.
Now I am the one responsible for my younger siblingsālittle children who have seen more horror than any child should.
We used to live a simple life.
We werenāt rich, but we had love and hope.
Now, we sleep under the open sky, surrounded by fear and uncertainty.
Every night, I wonder how Iāll feed them tomorrow.
Every morning, Iām just thankful weāre still alive.
This is not just my story. This is our fight to survive.
We are now struggling to afford even the basics:
A home, food, medicine, and safety.
Right now, we need your kindness more than ever.
Even $10 šµ can help us:
Buy food for the children š
Get essential medicine for my father š
Buy them clothes or warm blankets š§„
Give them a small sense of safety
If you canāt donate, you can still help.
š Re-share this post. Spread our story.
You never know who might see it and feel moved to help.
We are not just numbers. We are human. We are survivors. And weāre asking you⦠please donāt look away.
š Help us survive. Help us feel human again.
Haha I'm sure this will end well (sorry for lazy art T^T)
