Butterfly …symbolic gift of wings

Gem-set and diamond brooch, circa 1900 Designed as a butterfly, the head and thorax respectively set with a step-cut sapphire and an emerald and oval and pear-shaped diamonds, the wings set with variously shaped rubies, opals, emeralds and diamonds.

The XVIII Duke de Plasencia and Doña María de la Concepción lived during the very troubled and politically unstable years of the Spanish Civil War. They first met in Madrid on the terrace of the Hotel Universal in 1931 and it was love at first sight, however, the political situation separated them: the Duke took refuge in the Rumanian Embassy while Doña María de la Concepción moved to San Sebastian. Only twenty years later did they manage to formalise their union in holy matrimony in the famous Chapel of Santiago de Compostela. This butterfly brooch was a present from the Duke to Doña María de la Concepción when during this very difficult period they managed on one occasion to meet in Biarritz, it was a symbolic gift to give her wings to escape the difficult political situation and a sign of a mutual oath and commitment to each other.

Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive

A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety

Hello, I am Rehab Shamia from a family of 4 members.

Trapped Family In Gaza Appeals For Help To Survive

We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.

Rehab's challenge in the face of hunger and cold

A Struggle for Survival

light of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, we went through very difficult circumstances. We were displaced several times. We lost our house, which I had paid for with all my savings, to the enemy's bombs shortly after our first displacement. We lost all the beautiful things that my family and I used to enjoy, and the most difficult beautiful thing we lost was safety in peace, due to the violent bombing that surrounded us in all the places to which we fled.

to say the least, our days were difficult, as there were no viable sources of employment to obtain the money we needed to meet our needs.

Our situation is especially dire because my wife was born in the war, I have an infant and a 5-year-old and we are still stuck in a tent where there is no healthy food, no medicine, no water and no electricity. During the process of displacement, we lost the stable and recreational life that we used to live with me, the family, and the child, Ayham, who lost all the toys that he loved and played with all the time, and was deprived of the beautiful

childhood that he lived in the first days of his childhood. My wife, who is constantly tired and exhausted,

moving from one tent to another, is slowly sliding towards despair. Every nature of life, from a beautiful house to a tent in the middle of the street, a place to sleep. I need your help in raising money to leave the Gaza Strip.

every time massive wildfires break out in Israel, I just remember that the JNF (Jewish National Fund) has been planting non-native pine trees in Palestine for decades now. The JNF has been using greenwashing to disguise the colonial origins and aims of its organization. Sometimes, the trees are planted directly on top of depopulated Palestinian villages. These pine trees, being non-native to Palestine's environment, are very flammable. Just a couple things to think about while we look at the news of these wildfires.

In the heart of Gaza, where hope fades and destruction grows, nothing feels like life anymore. People die in silence—under the rubble, from hunger, from the cold, from fear. Children are pulled lifeless from beneath the ruins, and mothers scream with no one to hear. Every day we lose our loved ones, and a part of us dies with them.

We desperately need every hand that can reach us. If you’re able to help, please donate through (GoFundMe) or directly via (PayPal).

Your donation could mean everything to a family like mine. Don’t wait
