Energy Drink Shits

Imagine dedicating your life to helping others, selflessly pouring your time and energy into saving lives and easing suffering. Suddenly, the home and way of life you knew is destroyed by bombs raining from the sky, and the roles are reversed—your family’s survival is suddenly in the hands of others.

This is reality for Samy Abu-Shawish, a nurse in Gaza, whose career has been spent saving lives—yet now, he must face incredible odds to save his own family.

Samy, a staff nurse at UNRWA, and his wife Nariman, also a nurse, are parents to four children: Lulu, Emad, Mohammad, and Adam. They are seeking help—a chance to escape the unfathomable nightmare that over a year of bombings and death and starvation has brought to Gaza.

With the violence escalating by the day, Samy and his family live under constant threat of attack. Samy and Nariman do their best to shield their children from the horrors unfolding around them, praying that the kindness of strangers will allow them to escape to safety—an opportunity the family otherwise cannot afford.

“The cost of leaving Gaza is beyond our means,” Samy shares. “Without your help, our dreams of a safe and peaceful future for our family remain out of reach.”

Currently, the only viable route out of Gaza is through Egypt, but it comes at a staggering price. Adults are being charged $5,000 to $10,000 for safe passage, with children’s fees at roughly half that. For Samy and his family of six, that would be a cost of approximately $40,00.

Despite completing a master’s degree in public health in June 2023 and dedicating his career to the service of others, Samy now finds himself with limited resources after funding his own higher education. The blockade of goods and aid into Gaza have caused the prices of everything—even the most basic of necessities like food, medicine, and clothes—to skyrocket, making basic survival incredibly difficult, and rendering saving for safe passage nigh on impossible.

Samy’s wish is simple: to find safety for his children and give them a future free from fear.

"As healthcare professionals, we have dedicated our lives to caring for others, and now we humbly ask for your help in ensuring the safety and well-being of our own family," Samy writes on his GoFundMe page.

Every donation brings this family one step closer to safety. With your support, Samy, Nariman, and their children can escape the violence and begin to rebuild their lives in safety.

This is a sneak peek for a fic I'm writing lol

Plot: It's just Mulan (1998) but with some story and character changes. Yuu/MC is Mulan and so on and so on. I haven't fully figured out who would be Shang in this but I know it's between Silver and Sebek as Malleus is the Emperor in this fic. Anyway, enough of my ramblings...

The guard notices the ink dripping down the walls, ink so dark you could see your reflection in it. If you are a fool, you wouldn’t think twice about it.

“Help” he yells alerting the others standing watch.

“We’re under attack!” Suddenly a rush of ink came crashing down and tried to drown the watchmen. In their dying breaths, they lit fires alerting the land that they were now here.

Hi everyone. This post is going to be different from my other ones. I try to keep other matters off of this blog and reblog deactivated content from the twst fandom on here. But there’s been one blog on the twst fandom that I do not wish to be associated with in any way.

Do NOT follow me if you follow @/Marilynfuse

@/Marilynfuse is a Zionist.

Israel has never been held accountable for a single war crime they’ve committed in the last 75 years. But we’re now finally calling them out on their genocidal incense while the rest of the world ignores it.

There are so many revolting images of murdered Palestinians in Gaza. And if you are a Zionist Jew denying the death toll or okay with saying Palestinians are collateral damage in the name of Israel, then you are no better than an oppressor.

I am very disappointed to see someone in the twst fandom pushing this on their blog. Especially since I used to follow and interact with their works.

Imagine holding your child’s hand while a ventilator breathes for them, knowing that without urgent surgery, you will lose them.

Imsges: Little Mohammed Hammad, only a few months old, is dying of a respiratory infection.

This is the heartbreaking reality for Ahmed Hammad, a father in Gaza, whose infant son, Mohammed, is fighting for his life at this very moment.

Mohammed, just a few months old, is battling a severe lung infection that has left his fragile body unable to breathe on its own. The ventilator keeps him alive, but his condition is dire. His father, Ahmed, is by his side, watching in helpless agony as his son struggles to survive.

Doctors say there’s still hope, but only if surgery can be performed immediately. The procedure, however, comes at a steep cost: $2,650—an amount far beyond what Ahmed can afford. Without the surgery, the hospital has made it clear that infant Mohammed will be removed from the ventilator and his life will come to an end.

The guilt and despair that weigh on Ahmed’s heart are unfathomable. In one of his tearful messages, he writes, “How do I bear Mohammed's gaze as he stares at me with eyes filled with fear, silently asking, ‘Father, why are you letting me die?’ … I have no answer. All I have is my tears falling down his little face, as if they're an apology for not being a father capable of saving him.”

Living in a war-torn region, Ahmed and his family are battling the devastating effects of Gaza's crumbling infrastructure on a daily basis. With incomes decimated and prices astronomically inflated due to the blockade, the possibility of affording his son’s treatment seems impossible. Yet, despite the overwhelming obstacles, Ahmed refuses to give up on his son.

Desperate, Ahmed has turned to the kindness of strangers, hoping that someone, somewhere, will hear his plea.

“I beg you, my friend,” he writes. “My family and my child need you to help me and spread our story.”

Even the smallest donation could make the difference between life and death for little Mohammed. In this moment of unimaginable grief, every act of kindness counts.

Please consider donating to Ahmed's campaign. If you cannot donate, sharing this post can help Ahmed find people who can financially assist his son, and help him survive.

Dear Community,

Dear Friends,

Dear Community,

I am Ahmed Abuowda,

A Palestinian citizen with roots in Khan Younis,

A father of three beautiful girls.

I have always been deeply committed to protecting human rights and helping those in need. However, the recent explosions in Gaza have shattered everything we once held dear. Our homes, filled with love and precious memories, now lie in ruins. I haven’t just lost my house, i’ve lost everything that mattered to us.

My mother's home, my appartment and all it belongings. All gone, leaving behind only painful memories.

Despite enduring so much, we remained steadfast, helping others through their own times of need.

As 2023 approaches, the basic necessity of shelter looms over us. My hope was to rebuild our lives in Khan Younis. Yet, faced with the reality that Gaza is no longer habitable, we had to seek safety and a fresh start beyond its borders. Tragically, some of our loved ones remain behind, while others have fled or perished.

Today, my family and I find ourselves in the Arab Republic of Egypt, struggling to rebuild. Without proper residency or citizenship, it has been nearly impossible to secure work or provide our children with the decent life they deserve. All our attempts to establish stability here have failed.

I humbly appeal for your support. Though I am not accustomed to asking for help, I now reach out in desperation. Your generosity no matter how small can serve as a line of hope, helping us rise from the depths of this disaster.

As the world faces its own challenges, your solidarity could be our lifeline. Please stand with us in our darkest hours as we strive to rebuild our lives and ensure the well-being of our children.

Every donation, every act of kindness, brings us one step closer to survival.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Ahmed Abuowda
