Support My Family Journey to Safety and Peace

🚨 🚨Urgent Appeal 🚨🚨

My name is Jaber Al-Haj, a graduate with honors in Applied Chemistry. I currently reside in Kuwait, but my heart and thoughts are constantly with my family, who remain in Gaza amidst the ongoing war and devastation. My wife, Muna, and our 2-year-old son, Hashem, live under the constant threat of violence and uncertainty. Every day, I worry about their safety and well-being, and my greatest wish is to bring them to Kuwait, where they can find peace, security, and a fresh start.

After graduating, I started a small cleaning products business in Gaza with my brother, Aboud. We built a modest lab from scratch, and over time, it became a stable source of income for our family. We dreamed of expanding and creating more opportunities, but our hopes were shattered when relentless airstrikes destroyed everything we had built, reducing our lab and future to rubble.

The war didn’t just take away our business; it also separated me from my family. It has been over a year since I’ve seen my wife and child in person. Unable to travel back to Gaza, I feel helpless being so far away from them during these difficult times. Despite all my efforts, it has been equally challenging to bring them to Kuwait, where I could offer them the safety and stability they so desperately need.

The Goal of This Campaign:

I am aiming to raise $29,000 to help bring my wife, Muna, and our son, Hashem, from Gaza to Kuwait, reuniting us and ensuring their safety far from the dangers of war. The funds will also help me rebuild our business in Gaza with my brother, Aboud, by securing a new location, purchasing equipment, and restarting production—giving us a chance to restore our livelihoods and hope for the future

Warm regards, Jaber Al-Haj

howdy :) !

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

Oh definitely Olruggio from witch hat. BUT ONLY because of his beard. Something about it I simply have not cracked yet... every time I draw him I'm like.... eek this isn't what I meant!! He needs to be more ragged!! More worn out!! But... one day.. one day I'll draw an Olruggio so beautiful so tired so perfect

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what

OH YA! I constantly have music on and sing along while I draw. I collect jazz vinyl so if I don't have one of those on I'm probably on spotify playing a character playlist. Curating music is one of my most cherished pleasures :D

23. Do you use different layer modes

LMAO OK SO I did heavily HEAVILY use them at the beginning of my college years, but that habit was obliterated once I started working in print. I only use normal/multiply modes now in my casual work unless I'm doing a project requires otherwise.

Since it's been over a year from starting this and considering I'm switching over to selling physical copies, I wanted to post the entirety of my comic from ShortBox Comics Fair 2023! So much love to everyone who paid for the digital copy in advance! I hope it served you well!!

he is a 35 year old man

p much all my stuff sold out today 😭, thank u everyone, truly don't know what to say but thank u, seeing people care about silly drawings always warms my heart tenfold

Heads up for anyone going to Pride in Panels in SF on Feb 18th- @/mandallin will be selling some of my stickers/print comics at their table!

I'll also be allowing anyone who shows a call receipt contacting their reps for a ceasefire in G@za to take any item of mine for FREE.

Finally wrapped up & submitted my new comic, "There's Life After the Impact" to ShortBox Comics Fair!! A peek at some of the development work I made for it as a cheers >:)

I just read There's Life After the Impact and I just wanted to send a message about how much I loved it. I've never been able to properly put into words why I love second-hand trinkets, wandering around thrift shops looking at all the small objects that were loved once, and you articulated and illustrated the feeling so beautifully. It also made me so attached to these characters already, like I don't know if it was meant to be read this way but I felt like that promise Robin talks about is something they want for themselves but also a promise they've made to the young girl. Especially because they are in an implied post-apocalyptic setting like aughhh my heart ToT Also as someone who is in art school right now studying making comics, your layouts for each page are so so inspiring and gorgeous. Your art in general inspires me a lot but this was next level. I'm so happy I got to read it, and thank you for making it!

This is the kindest and sweetest message thank you thank you!! Truly made my day that you were able to read it!

To semi answer the part about the promise- it's purposefully ambiguous! There's Life After the Impact started out as a spoken word piece in my journal, so the "you" Robin talks about was left to reference their sister, the object or even the audience depending on how the rhythm of the monologue hits the reader
