I think most of my Mastodon followers are from Gaza, Palestine. They face hardships such as buildings that have been ruined, many suffer from diseases and need money to heal. Please help them. Send them some aid. You might see me as a person who is wealthy, but don't be fooled. I am just a student, everyday begging my parents for money, and they themselves face hardships. I have debts I am unable to pay. Please help the people of Gaza.

We struggle day by day just to survive. Yes, this is life in Gaza, especially in Al-Mawasi. There is no transportation, water is scarce, and food prices are extremely high. Even tutoring classes for children have become very expensive due to the high rental costs of educational centers that have replaced the schools that were destroyed.
Your support and sharing our story mean a lot to us.

URGENT PLEA: Please Help Save My Leg and My Life
Dear friends and loved ones,
I am Diaa, and I am now in a very critical condition.
The doctors told me that I am running out of time. I may lose my life today or tonight. If my condition continues to worsen over the next few hours, there could be severe complications. I may need to undergo a leg amputation and be admitted to the intensive care unit. We do not know whether I would wake up from such a critical stage or what my fate will be.
Please, please, please... do not let my leg be amputated.
Save my leg. Save my future.
My situation is now extremely dangerous, and all I want is to survive this difficult stage of my life.
I sincerely ask everyone reading this message to do what this kind person did for me. Please talk about my situation, repost my story, quote my posts, and help my voice reach more people. Every share, every repost, and every mention could make a difference during these critical hours.
Perhaps these hours could be the reason my life is saved and my leg is saved.
I am begging you from the bottom of my heart: please do not leave me alone.
Thank you to everyone who stands by me, shares my story, and keeps me in their prayers.

Cuba looks kinda amazing. Its sad that most images/videos we see in the US are made to fit a political narrative.
What happened with the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra upset me greatly. This (combined with the large overnight attack) was one of the worst things Russia has done during the course of this war so far. By doing this, Russia shows it does not care about anything, not even itself, as it was now attacking a major piece of its own history (albeit not Russian territory) Russia now is suicidal, and absolutely must be stopped.
This attack should be a wake-up call for Europe to do far more. This attack was unacceptable, Russia tried to destroy a thousand year old building, something that is even older than Russia at any point in its history. It was equivalent to the 2001, September 11th attacks in regards to Ukrainian culture and identity.
This attack brings my anger level close to that of certain events during the Siege of Mariupol (2022) I am very relieved that the fire was put out, but there still was damage.
With the increasing logistical and strategic deadlines of Ukraines 2026 Summer Offensive, I have now decided that my first aid package to Ukraine (pledged privately on 2025, February 2nd) must be sent soon, and can no longer be delayed. I will not publicly share how much, where it is going, or when it will be sent, until I can ensure the money is safely in Ukraine.
