Please, I beg you — if you're reading this, don’t look away. Every second matters.
Children in Gaza are wasting away before our eyes. Starvation is not a silent death — it screams through every rib, every bone showing beneath their skin. I am a mother, and my little boy Qais is one of them. He’s just a baby, too small to endure this kind of suffering. Your donation could mean the difference between life and death. Please, help us feed Qais and the countless children who have nothing left but pain.
This famine in Gaza is not a natural disaster — it is man-made, and it is killing our children.
1. The Israeli blockade has cut off access to food, clean water, and essential supplies, turning Gaza into an open-air prison where starvation spreads rapidly.
2. Deliberate obstruction of humanitarian aid prevents food and medical supplies from reaching those in desperate need — including children like my baby boy, Qais.
3. Destruction of farmland and infrastructure from relentless bombings has made it nearly impossible for families to grow or access food.
From the depths of a grieving mother’s heart, I beg you — don’t let Qais starve to death. He’s only a child, his only crime is being born in Gaza. His little body trembles in my arms as I watch him shrink before my eyes. Please don’t look away. Please don’t let him fade into silence like so many others. Every dollar, every share, every act of compassion could save him. I am pleading with everything I have — help me keep my son alive.
If Qais was your only child, would you leave him to face his fate alone?
DON'T SKIP, I BEG YOU ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child😔😭
ALTI'd like to share how I came to work with @drdarine.
A family in Gaza reached out, asking if I could help illustrate their story. They had seen my art supporting verified fundraisers and hoped I could give a voice to their experience.
ALTThe Dawoud family shared a brief but powerful script describing their ordeal a journey of displacement, fear, and survival. Since then, I’ve had the honor of illustrating several of their stories, doing my best to capture both their pain and their resilience. You can see them here:

ALTThey are #15 on Gazavetters' list. I'm not a vetter myself, but I would also vouch for this family if the world depended on it; they are honest and respectful. I've never felt pressured or misled while working with them.
ALTI'm honored and humbled to work with this family. Their dignity in the face of such hardships has astounded me. I ask you all to read their story and do whatever you can to help.
Support them here ! Remember, no one is free until we are all free.
Thank you Notte for using your art to amplify our voice. 💔🙏

Estranged parents are a joke. They're still generally terrible and harmful people, but at their core they are also clowns.
"Forgotten father" here is not gonna make it.
