Hello, I'm Kariman Dohan. I am writing this letter to you feeling a state of sadness and grief, after the war on Gaza completely destroyed our lives. My husband works as a fisherman, but the fishing boat, which was our only source of income, was badly damaged and no longer usable. My young son, Hamoud, suffers from malnutrition due to the lack of food and the polluted water we drink. My husband, Ayman Olwan, and I are trying with all our might to survive, but the situation has become too much for us. We are desperate to escape to a safe place where we can start over, but we don't have enough money to do so. Therefore, I ask you for your generosity and kindness to help us so that we can overcome this crisis. Please consider our situation and help as much as you can by donating and sharing the link.💔🍉🥹

I was born in australia, my mum is south african and my dad was born in australia. my dads side came over to australia during the gold rush from scotland and i don't know much about my mums family (possibly dutch descent) I have no culture and dont know much about my ancestors, i have no items of cultural value from either side. where do i belong? i see videos indigenous peoples from America and australia and europe who have endured so much and yet they survive and even though i am lucky in life, i have opportunities and i am not a minority, i envy them for the connection they share.
im not sure if i worded this right?
