Why No One Help Me 🥺

Imagine holding your child close as icy rain seeps through the torn fabric of your tent, their small body shivering against yours. The ground beneath you is cold and unyielding, but there is nowhere else to go—your home is now a pile of rubble, your livelihood reduced to ashes.

Just months ago, Nazmy Aboouda was a university graduate with hopes of travel, work, and a secure future for his family. But war does not discriminate; it tore through everything—his home, his small clothing shops, and every plan he had made.

Now, Nazmy, his wife, his children, and his ailing mother huddle together in a makeshift tent, the thin walls barely enough to block the bitter chill of winter nights. Food and water are scarce, and the threat of disease looms large with every passing day. His mother’s health deteriorates rapidly, requiring urgent surgery that is out of reach without financial assistance. The children, too young to understand why their world has collapsed, have not tasted a full meal in weeks.

The war has reduced every source of this family's livelihood to ashes, leaving Nazmy’s family to face hunger, malnutrition, and the constant fear of what tomorrow might bring. Yet, amid the wreckage, Nazmy struggles to keep hope alive—for his children, for his mother, and for a future beyond the camps and the chaos of war.

Nazmy’s story is just one of countless in Gaza, where the need for support has never been more urgent. A small donation can help provide the food, medicine, and warmth that his family so desperately needs. Even if you cannot give, sharing his story can help bring the aid they need to survive.

You can donate to Nazmy’s GoFundMe campaign [HERE].

Think about it tho! The average male gymnast is ~5’4-5’8 and BUFFFFF, plus Vil would like it because of its grace and artistry! Epel is taller than Carlos Yulo (156 compared to 150) soooo, idk it makes sense in my head.

Anyways here’s some pics of male gymnasts bc they’re cool, don’t forget to support your local gymnasts (men and women 🙏)

Rip Epel you would’ve loved Men’s Gymnastics

Imagine waking up to the deafening roar of explosions, your tent shaking violently as the earth trembles beneath you. In an instant, everything is chaos—your children scream in terror, clutching onto you as you scramble to escape. The sky is filled with smoke and falling debris, the air thick with dust and panic. There is no time to think, no time to gather what little you have left. You run—barefoot, desperate, carrying your baby in your arms—praying that you will make it out alive.

For Hossam Al-Qazzaz and his family, this nightmare became reality LAST NIGHT (03/17/2025) when an airstrike obliterated their tent—their last refuge after losing their home, a casualty of the war in Gaza. With no shelter, no safety, and nowhere left to run, they are once again plunged into unimaginable uncertainty as the ceasefire in Gaza collapses and war reignites around them.

Hossam, a dedicated father of four, has already lost his home, his job, and his peace of mind due to the relentless bombardments in Gaza in the 15 months preceding the now,-collapsed ceasefire. Now, with nothing but debris around them, he, his wife Hanan, and their four children—Bashar (9), Hani (8), Diana (4), and 5-month-old Habiba—are now struggling to survive with no roof over their heads.

The suffering extends beyond Hossam, his wife, and his children. Hossam is also the sole caretaker of his elderly parents, aged 75 and 72, both in fragile health. His father is suffering from severe burns and urgently needs medical care, while his mother battles high blood pressure and requires constant attention. But with no home, no stable source of income, and skyrocketing prices for essentials like rice and cooking gas—driven by the border closures and the ban on goods entering Gaza—Hossam is trapped in an incredibly difficult and stressful situation.

Despite these unbearable challenges, Hossam is not asking for much—only the money needed to survive, and to be able to evacuate to safety when the border crossing opens again.

"All we want is to live in dignity," Hossam pleads.

This is where you can make a difference. Every small donation—no matter how modest—can help provide food, clothing, and medical care for Hossam, Hanan, their children, and elderly parents. It can help ensure that Habiba gets the milk and diapers she desperately needs and that his family is not left out in the open with nowhere to turn.

Please, if you can, donate or share Hossam’s story today. Your support can be the difference between survival and despair.

Please consider donating to the Al-Qazzaz family’s original fundraiser to help them buy food and essentials and rebuild their tent:

Hello, I am Abdel Muti Al-Habil from Gaza. I am displaced in the south of Deir Balah. I am responsible for my family and providing the basic needs. We are now in a very difficult situation. My child needs care, and there is no water or detergents. Currently, there is only very salty sea water. I am hoping for friends to help us with Promoting my campaign to help my children, donate to feed the children🤲

Lucian Msamati absolutely blew me away in Conclave and I just dont see enough people saying it. He really took the character of Adeyemi, on all fronts just a terrible, awful, person, and he acted his fucking heart out - I found myself in moments aghast that I was feeling sorry for this guy. This fucking guy! By all accounts more reactionary then Tedesco, and yet I saw the light leave his eyes as it registers that he will never be pope, never - and I felt his pain as if it was my own, followed by the smarting whip of self-disgust as the memory of his misdeeds crashed back in. Phenomenal. 10000000 plaudits for Lucian Msamati.

Dear Friends,🥺

I am deeply saddened by the cancellation of my previous campaign. The new campaign is facing a significant drop in donations and insufficient support through social media.😭

I desperately need your help by donating or sharing the campaign with others. Every bit of support makes a huge difference. 🙏😭❤️

Donate here

Thank you to everyone who is supporting me during this difficult time.💓
