URGENT HELP PLEASE DONATE TO HELP MY FAMILY DURING THIS DIFFICULT MOMENTS.
I am Kelly, My family is in danger. They are trapped in a city in Gaza called Rafah. They fled there because my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and the only chemo treatment she could receive was there. Due to a militia that is increasingly taking over the country and bombing hospitals, all of the disabled, sick and elderly had to flea to Rafah to get medical treatment. Hundreds of thousands of Gaza people fled out of Rafah earlier this week after the militia overtook the Gaza military. My family was unable to flee because my grandmother is elderly and sick.
As of yesterday, my grandmother, disabled aunt, aunt who is sick with Malaria and my two teenage girl cousins were trapped at the top of an apartment building that has been overtaken by militia. They are helpless.
My aunts are sick and they have been injured. My two cousins are just children. Please help my family.

gofundme for the family
This is how a wounded Palestinian, who was shot by an Israeli sniper opposite Nasr Hospital in Gaza, was rescued by a Gazan doctor and her team.
Does anyone know where this quote comes from originally? I see variations of it around a lot and a lot of disagreement on the source. I incorporated it to my latest design shown above, found here.
As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my work are for my Palestinian best friend, to help him support his girlfriend in remaining safely in America until it's safe for her to travel back home and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids in the West Bank (this has unfortunately hit his family quite hard) and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.

Sorry I have neglected the fundraiser so much this week, my research has been kicking my ass. I have no idea how the friend I am fundraising for is managing grad school on top of his activism and supporting his family in the face of genocide, I'm struggling to keep up just helping him out. He's like an actual genius scientist though, he's amazing. I do have a couple new designs up now, here's one of them:
It can be found in my shop here on a bunch of different products. Some examples:

The Light Aquatic
Aqua Creations Lighting & Furniture Atelier was founded in 1994 by designer-artist Ayala Serfaty who completed her degrees in Fine Arts at the Bezalel Academy of art in Design in Jerusalem and then at Middlesex Polytechic in London. Well known for her art creations Ayala and her husband Photographer Albi Sefaty collaborated to evolve their talents to develop Aqua Creations a Lighting & Furniture Atelier.
Based out of Tel Aviv where their pieces are all handmade by their team of skilled artisans who use their craft to create such unique pieces. They create, manufacture and design all out of these headquarters.
I am especially fascinated by the Light designs, there is something so modern but yet so soft to each piece, for some reason I see them as creatures from the universe both below in the depths of our oceans and above in our galaxies. They make me dream and escape into these worlds.. These magnetic pieces can be commissioned for a home, apartment, hotel, restaurant I imagine they would blend in well with any type of lanscape sea, mountain, desert or snow. Fun to play around with and use your imagination with various colour and shape choices you will be surely transported to their world.
I am floating xo

I tried to take him to give him a bath but he ran away into a construction site and I can't go in there. Poor thing. I know the Tel Aviv's city hall is supposed to help cats (they said the helped hundreds of cats thus year) and my aunt that's from Tel Aviv called them but I don't know how much they can do when he is hiding
So apparently, even literal neonazis are agreeing with Israel's whole agenda of genocide and colonization. Like, full out making articles and saying "so true bestie" to actual fucking murderers, rapists, and war criminals violating every single one of these Palestinian peoples' human rights! It's fucking sick and evil!
And to whoever hears this and tries to cry antisemitism, fuck you. I'm not persecuting religion; and no, Judaism doesn't have a practice where you oppress and massacre an entire country, because you feel entitled to, either!
To any Palestinian folks out there, I am so fucking sorry how fucked up it is out there, and as a north american, it pains me to see and hear how my country is allowing your people's lives to be crushed, and even participating in it, how your homes are being decimated, and how Israel steals and tries to sell your land as if it's theirs to do so.
In short, and this goes to every country like the Congo, or Syria, or Sudan, who are experiencing all this and more, I'm so fucking sorry.
Go vote, sign petitions, donate to charity, and even fucking protest!
