New #mutualaid post for October. I'm traveling out of state this month to Colorado to visit my fiance, and groceries are a lot more expensive here than where I live. I've raised enough for groceries for the next two weeks, but with little leftover.

“Daddy…we just want to live like before”
Small words from my kids, yet they fall on my heart like a mountain.

I'm trying to provide my family with the simplest of needs.. but sometimes I feel the weight is too heavy to carry alone.💔

Your support can ease this burden.🙏

„At least now, we can sleep at night
without hearing the sounds of shelling
or the helicopters that used to strike
families in their tents
Yet I still wake up haunted by the screams
of people and the echoes of missiles

I still cannot find peace inside“

In Gaza, hunger doesn’t knock — it moves in.
It tucks the children into bed with empty stomachs.
It whispers through the night louder than the bombs.
We need food. We need safety. We need the world to care.
Please don’t scroll past our pain 💔🙏🏻
