My name is Shada Kassab, and I am a 24-year-old mother living in Gaza. Every day is a fight for survival for me, my husband Hussein, and our baby boy Adam, who is just five months old.
Our lives have been turned upside down by war. My home has been reduced to rubble, and my husband lost his water truck, which was our only source of income. We’ve been forced to evacuate twice—from Deir el Balah to the Nuseirat camp—and now, we live in constant fear of what the future holds.
To make matters worse, Adam was born with clubfoot and urgently needs surgery. The cost for his treatment and specialized medical boots is at least $3000, but this surgery isn’t even possible in Gaza.
I recently graduated as a nurse, and I dream of building a better life for my family. But to do that, we must leave Gaza and start over in safety.
💔 I need your help to save my family and give Adam a future. Even a small donation 5$ can bring us closer to safety, and if you can’t donate, sharing our story means the world to us.
I dream of living in safety, of seeing Adam grow up healthy, and of building a better life for us all. Please don’t give up on us. Your kindness can make all the difference.
❤️ Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support and compassion give us strength to keep going.

Reader's gender isn't specified but is written female due to what I'm used to writing, sorry. I'm trying my best to make every gender written properly, so please inform me if I'm doing it wrong.
Sorry if characters are ooc.

It was announced that there will be prom, of course, everyone felt excited.
Girls starting to go to their friend group and talk about the dresses and skin care whereas boys remain quiet, not care and talk to their friends or get teased.
[name] couldn't help but be nervous, it'll be their last senior prom and they wasted those two years being a wallflower, watching people dance together while either hugging or kissing, it was just couples.
Their crush plays volleyball and it's no doubt that maybe he had someone to take to prom or just doesn't care at all and goes with the boys.
Kiyoko notices [name]'s sudden quietness, the two had been joint to the hip since their first year and Kiyoko had managed to rope [name] into the volleyball world in their manager duties.
"[name], are you going to ask him to prom?"
Kiyoko softly asks, [name] looks at Kiyoko.
"It's a yes or no question, [name]"
Kiyoko says, rubbing the h/c's back.
"Y...Yes"
Kiyoko softly smiles.
"Why don't you ask him later when we go to the gym?"
[name] nods.
"That'd be lovely"
They manage to breathe out.
| | Karasuno Gym | |
[name] nervously taps their foot while checking if the boy they're looking for will arrive.
"[name]'s so nervous today, did something happen?"
Daichi asks, Kiyoko helps the h/c [gender] take deep breaths.
"They're going to ask Sugawara to prom"
Kiyoko casually says, in cue, Sugawara enters the gym.
"You guys are here early"
[name] squeaks and grips Kiyoko's sleeve.
'hE'S HERE—'
"You seem so happy today, Suga. Did something happen?"
"Huh? Yeah, I got a date to prom!"
[name] felt and heard something breaking loudly which only they can hear, it was the h/c's heart.
'Ah...'
Daichi and Kiyoko suddenly feel tense but congratulates him while they glance at the h/c [gender].
"Congrats, Kou!"
[name] says, forcing a smile as the pain became unbearable for the [gender] to breathe.
"Thanks, [name]!"
As Sugawara and Daichi converse as well as the just arrived players, Kiyoko glances at the h/c and smiles softly.
"Wanna be Yachi and I's date to prom?"
[name] looks at Kiyoko and just nods, afraid to cry if they ever start to speak.
| | P R O M | |
[name] stands by the wall and watches Sugawara slow dance with a girl, the music wasn't even helping at all nor did the atmosphere, the feeling of heartbreak immediately starts to rush back.
"[name], dance with Yachi first then you can dance with me"
Kiyoko says, managing to find [name]'s favorite spot, it's easy knowing that [name] is a wallflower.
[name] takes Yachi's head and gently guides the blonde to the dance floor, as they slow dance together.
Then later, Kiyoko slow dances with [name].
"how are you feeling?"
Kiyoko asks, [name] takes a deep breath.
"not good"
Kiyoko nods and gently brushes the h/c's hair.
"It's okay to not be okay, [name]"
Kiyoko says.
"Do you want to go home?"
[name] nods, letting the tears fall, Kiyoko softly smiles.
"Go"
[name] didn't hesitant and ran out of the gym, crying their heart out as their legs burn from the fast running.

Karasuno stands by a tomb, holding umbrellas as the rain is pouring hard.
"Suga, let's go"
Daichi says, Sugawara didn't take his eyes off [name]'s tombstone.
"I'll be there"
The group leaves, leaving Sugawara alone with the tomb.
Suddenly, [name]'s ghost appears infront of him, smiling at him even.
He drops the umbrella and caresses [name]'s cheek.
'Cold...'
He let those tears fall as he embraces them.
"Can...Can I have this last dance with you, Koushi?"
[name] softly asks, how he missed hearing their voice.
"Of course"
He kisses their hand as they slow dance together while he softly sings.
"Just the two of us..."
deep respect for you, my dude. That's a real friend right there.
My friend got pregnant at 17. Deeply religious family (she would be kivked out if they found out), one night stand, she just could NOT have the baby. Thing is we live in a country where abortion is illegal. Our only option was to illegally buy some pills online and hope they worked and we didnt go to jail
But these are hecking expensive and we needed to rush
So i set up a twitter/fb/insta/furaffinity/etc account and advertised my furry art EVERYWHERE. Im not that good but i said id draw basically anything no matter how weird (not cub art or anything illegal). I got a lot of weird coms (vore, scat, inflation and some i dont even understand) and for two weeks i did nothing but draw weird shit all day. My hand hurt so bad, but i got the money.
We spent a week afraid we'd been scammed and afraid we'd get caught, then a weekend afraid my friend might die once we did the procedure in my house. But it worked
I never told her how i got the money and i never will. Id rather die than tell her i funded her illegal abortion by drawing the wolf from robin hood swallowing robin through his belly button. Im pretty sure she thinks i was a prostitute for those two weeks and id rather her think that
To this day i gift her condoms on her bd as a joke bc im never doing that again

Hey if ur going to put a giant tag at the beginning of something warning people it may have uncomfortable things in the writing, you may want to also add in a “read more” so people on mobile aren’t scrolling for ages trying to get past it especially since tags are at the bottom. Adding the warning on top is great! But a read more makes it more possible to avoid if it’s something that may upset someone.
Oh and in general If ur going over 500 words it’s polite to do it under a read more. Your followers may be okay with it but anyone just going through the tag is going to be scrolling for quite some time to get passed it and you’re more likely to get blocked by people randomly simply so they can scroll the tag with ease and you may find yourself blocked by creators you really like simply so the tag is useable for them.
Also the general tag for any kind of “x reader” content is
[Fandom as applicable i.e. Genshin impact, MDZS, Haikyuu etc] x reader
when you change it to individual things it makes it impossible to blacklist but also greatly erases your own ability to bring readers in who do want your content. The specifics are great for second, third etc tags but it’s helpful for both those who are interested and those who aren’t to blacklist/search for this specific kind of content.
Thank you and sorry, I'll take note of that the next time I write but um...how do you put a read more in mobile...?
“Your art isn’t valued by the number of notes you get” okay but. If you spent 6 hours baking a cake for a party, but no one at the party eats your cake, it’s still disappointing.
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
to those who are waiting for me to write the next chapter of you will be found.
I apologize for literally not writing or giving teasers.
I'm not in the proper mental state right now and my cat died in my arms.
I'm gonna take time to heal, I'll try to write when I can.
Thank you for understanding.
So this may not be important but I came out of the closet to my aunt yesterday and she really supports it since her nephews and nieces come out to her as well, even asked if I was comfortable with telling her or showing her the person I like, it really removed the heavy weight in my chest and really felt nice. I'm planning on telling my mom about it soon, I'll just wait for the right timing. So to those who really want to come out but can't, you'll find your pace when you do, whether you come out to relatives, family or friends, there will always be people who support you no matter the gender you associate with <3
