Support My Family Journey to Safety and Peace
✅ Verified campaign – please check the end of the story 🔍📌
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
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for standing with us during this challenging time.
Warm regards, Jaber Al-Haj
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
I just watched your student film and it hit me so hard. I’m losing a family member to a very debilitating disease right now and the grief has been hard to handle. Your film was so sweet and had such a beautiful message. It made me feel like everything will be okay in the end.You and your whole team did an amazing job!
Thank you so very very much for watching it! I'm so sorry for what you're going through and handling right now...the film is based on my own experience caring for terminal family members and the longterm grief that comes with it, so I understand how consuming it all is. But I'm very happy the film brought you a little peace, that's all I could have hoped it could do! Thank you again and again!
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 Gaza to take any item of mine for FREE.
