Do You Still Think Of Us?

. . .

Two brothers despair upon damp grass, and the beating sun against the blue canvas, the older cradles the younger in his arms, who happens to look lifeless in his hold, such a sunny day for such a bloody sight, the world never did halt for them, not when they needed it to, not when they wanted it to. Crimson pools beneath their knees, and the older brother screams his voice hoarse, he sobs out "Please...please come back... I'msorryI'msorryI'msofuckingsorryI'MSORRY!"

No matter how loud he yells, his little brother wouldn't say a word, still limp in his destructive hands, still not the bright sun he was just moments before. The cost of his competitive nature has caught up to him twice, he prays to at least his mother that there will never be a thrice (and he throws in a fleeing wish that if his little kid brother doesn't make it, she would take care of him, she certainly could better than he could have ever done.)

It has forced him to pay the price, and the price came in the form of the second possible death he has caused, out of the very few deaths he has been the cause of, why only his right-hand men? Long overdue apologies fall on unhearing ears, he wishes he did not have the cowardice he had.

Now the sun has burnt out.

PLEASE DON'T LOOK AWAY, PLEASE HELP SAVE A LIFE

my best friend layla made a fundraiser for her boyfriend giuseppe, who suffers from very severe me/cfs (myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome) and cci (craniocervical instability).

me/cfs is a severe neuroimmunological illness that often leaves the people who suffer from it housebound or bedridden. there is no cure for it yet and only a few doctors know how to treat it, most of them don't even know of its existence. that's why we depend on you sharing and donating this.

because of these illnesses, he might die. only two doctors in europe do surgery on me/cfs patients, who also suffer from cci, and they are located in spain. he will have to pay a special flight from italy, somewhere to stay and the surgery itself, and none of that is covered by insurance.

he is suffering so much. layla listed a few of his symptoms in his gofundme already, but the only thing he can (or is forced to) do is lie in a dark room with no stimuli AT ALL. no music, no light, no touch, not even being on the phone for too long, accompanied with tons of physical suffering as in pain or seizure-like symptoms. his suffering is not imaginable for people who don‘t have very severe me/cfs.

please read, share and donate. it‘s so very very urgent and a reblog would mean the world and could save his life. please help us, he needs to live.

if you have any other ideas of how to boost this fundraiser, please let me know!

Help save Giuseppe’s Life - URGENT!!!, organized by Layla Bauer

English version: My name is Layla. - Traduzione italiana qui sotto I set up thi… Layla Bauer needs your support for Help save Giuseppe’

Round does the wind blow

Through the thick forest brush

Through the iron and glass

Through the marsh and the damp

Through open expanse of blue

And through the body, of you, and of me.

This poem will not talk

About the silent pillow and sock

As slumber does not wait to tumble

Into indecipherable dreams and terrors

As fantasy blurs with what is real

And what is want,

What you need however,

Is not a taunt

Because the wind will speak

It will whisper, and howl

It will never be silenced

But not all the crowd

Will be able to hear it's pained speak

As the closed will become deaf

And the open become blind

Because the closed will not let the wind in,

And the open will not see the wind, or feel the wind, who it is, and who the cries of help belong to,

No empathy, much less sympathy, for the voices that go with the wind.

And so nature weeps in the drizzle

Screams in the thunder

And remains silent on gloomier days,

The days that feel silent and sad, are the days with no rain.

The wind was not heard, seen, nor felt,

And so it's secrets and it's voices

It's pains and it's emotions

It's sufferings and it's triumphs

Remain only in the unknown

The wind sung but was never heard.

Friend's Soul, Foe's Cage

Famished friend,

I haven't seen you in many moons,

Starved soul,

You haven't sent me any feathers

For the pillow 'neath my bed,

Hungry foe,

You've stabbed me through my only cavity,

Impaled my tongue, pulled my teeth,

I have no words in your world,

Not because I am speechless,

But because I am caged.

Urgent appeal

I am Jaafar from the besieged northern Gaza Strip, I am 24 years old. I had many dreams and ambitions, but because of the war I lost everything. I lost my dreams, my university and my job. I have nothing left. My family and I live in danger of death every day and every night. I have lost many of my friends, but I still have some hope of rebuilding my life and dreams. So please help me rebuild my life. If you cannot doate, you can convey my voice and my suffering. 💔🥹

Any donation you make will instill hope in my heart again. Please do not ignore

The Sun needs not the Moon

The Sun needs not the Moon,

For if the Moon in the sky had burned as bright,

How come it's canvas remains a pitch black sight?

For if the Sun needed the Moon,

How come it holds it's own,

How come the Moon only reflects the lambent wishes of the Sun?

But what if the Sun sees himself as the Moon,

And the Moon as the Sun,

If the Moon sees himself for what he truly is,

And the Sun so bright he basks in it.

The Sun needs not the Moon,

And the Moon knows this,

He prefers not to shade the Sun's light,

Would never want to reduce the hopeful rays to pathetic halos,

For halos cannot light up the world.

The Moon sees everything in the Sun,

And what the Moon brings is what the people believe as madness,

And truthfully, what he brings is darkness,

If the Sun may bring the people happiness,

If the Moon did not hold their best interests in his cold heart,

Then the Moon will fear not the day he leaves.

But what the Moon does not know,

The day that he fades away from even the Sun's view,

The Sun will weep, raining gold,

The Sun will feel...cold...

The Sun isn't meant to be cold.

(What used to be golden and anew, burst into fading light, and followed the Moon)

"I should've loved you sooner"

Oh I should've loved you sooner,

Sooner so I could have the sun in my arms,

From when I only knew the dark,

Sooner so I had a reason to smile,

When scowls and frowns and tears were my only solace,

I should've loved you sooner,

My days weren't as bright,

Because I never realized

I had the sun in my corner

You are the sunshine I so desperately

needed,

My rationality, when at times I couldn't keep my head

straight.

My brother, I love you so

But I really should have loved you sooner,

I really, really should have loved you sooner,

And some days, I scold myself, because back then

I told myself;

"Never look him in the eyes,

You've wronged him so, and he will cry"

Never would I have thought, my sunshine

That you would throw yourself at me

And weep in my arms, only to say

"You idiot, you pushed me away!"

And then, I only laughed

Not a joyful one, one full of realization

and irony,

As I wipe those tears away from the face of the

Sun,

And I tell him;

"I'm sorry, love"

I should've loved you sooner,

I should've loved you sooner,

I should've loved you sooner,

When my days were nothing but

grief and sorrow,

You had given me your heart to borrow,

And if I had broken it a million times

before,

Let me try repair it once more,

With the love you have yearned for,

The love I should've given you sooner.

hi! as some of you know, about a year and a half ago, my beloved golden retriever Luke passed away from cancer. he was my very best friend. my mom and I had finally healed enough, so we got another golden retriever, Honey, and she is just the sweetest thing in the whole world—she’s practically Luke reincarnated. we haven’t had her long, but we are already enamored.

unfortunately, my mom came home from work recently and Honey was limping badly. she was taken to the emergency vet, and it was $400 just to have her be seen and ended up costing $600. she has a serious fracture in her hind leg. initially, we were told we may have to consider euthanasia, then we were told maybe just amputation. now they’re going to do a surgery to see if maybe they can save her leg. if not, amputation may still be on the table.

this initial surgery is going to be at LEAST $2,000. right now, those kinds of unexpected costs are just a lot for my mom right now, and I’m fresh out of college with not a lot of means to help her out financially. I know times are hard for everyone right now, but if you had even $5 to spare, I know it would help us out so much. I created a GoFundMe here, and my kofi is linked here. and if you can’t donate, even just a reblog, or a thought or prayer is much appreciated!

if you’re invested in my writing at all, you can shoot me a message showing you’ve donated and if you send me a little writing prompt, I’ll try to get it written for you as a thanks. I’m willing to write irondad, harry & sirius or remus, chris pike & jim kirk, ciri & geralt—basically any sort of parental relationship bc I have issues, whoops. if it’s something I haven’t listed, seriously just ask.

anyway, I’m so sorry to be doing this and I know everyone is struggling right now, my mom’s just been hit constantly with shit lately and I want to help her in any way I can.

(Honey is the one on the right, with her head tucked into her sister. 🥺)

TLDR:

Our orphanage has, as of 4/12/22, two days to raise $730, or their water purifier, their only source of safe drinking and bathing water will be taken. Without the purifier, they will have no way of getting clean water, as they can not afford to buy bottles. The unpurified water will expose the orphans to deadly illnesses, germs, and bacteria. This could quite literally cost lives.

I sent everything I had, but am unfortunately in the middle of getting evicted, and also now have multiple sclerosis that may be paralyzing me and can't work a job to help support them. Please, reblog. Send this to your friends, or any blog that will care. I have a template for messages and instructions on how to find helpful people here. (coming soon!!) (I'm also working on an about God Provides post to direct people to.)

If every one of my followers donated $1 , we'd be two thirds of the way there, already! Please, I'd you have anything at all to spare, it can make the difference between these kids sickness and healrh. There's proof of all of my history with the orphanage on my blog if you search up Yazid.

Now, if you have the time, please read this entire post to understand their story. I am asking sincerely, because this story deserves to be heard! This is a story of people who even in the most dire situations have cared about my illnesses, who have fought through so much because their hearts are genuinely full of love for their fellow humans. And these people are in trouble. They need our help to survive.

Working here has changed my world, and I think Yazid is changing the world all around him. Proof of all of this is in my blog, just search Yazid in it.

Hello everyone! My name is Maddie (Madison McClain if we're being fancy) and I've been working for the past year fundraising for the orphanage run by my best friend, Yazid, called God Provides Orphanage! It's located in Buguri, Uganda. We met by chance, and became instant friends. Now, I consider him family, along with all of the members of Team God Provides. Although this is a Christian orphanage, we're all from different backgrounds, and faiths, and that is all accepted.

Yazid is truly the most amazing person I've ever met. Even in his worst situations, and even in grave danger, he'll take the time to care about my medical issues first, and tell me to rest even when I know he could use my help. His mission in operating God Provides orphanage is to provide kids with a sense of hope, unconditional love, and faith in their futures. He's taken care of families, orphans, sick children with parents who couldn't afford their medicine, anyone he kind find. He's helped so many people, and saved so many lives. And he's been my best friend for a year now.

Unfortunately, Yazid and the orphanage have fallen into a string of tragedies that have made things for them very difficult.

First, one of the orphans, a preteen girl, almost died from starvation. Fortunately, I had the money at the time to pay for her treatment with metabolic salts, and she was okay!! I was beyond relieved when I heard she survived, I cried in my friend's car the whole way home.

Yazid has a tendency to overwork himself...even to the point of illness. And so recently, he was hospital for acute renal failure, and came serious close to dying. This is something my mother almost passed from a few years back, and it's only by a miracle that she survived. Yazid never shows fear, so when he began talking about what to do if he lost his life, I knew he must be seriously struggling. But luckily, with the help of people here, he got out alive, and was able to get all the treatment he needed to survive!

Then, upon returning home, he found that the kids had used the food and supplies improperly, as their temporary guardians were not used to how to ration and use them. The children had not eaten in days, and he was terrified. Luckily, again, through help from your kindness, the kids were able to eat, and Yazid was able to pay past due rent.

But then, just the other day, only days after getting out of the hospital, Yazid was attacked and beaten. Their water purifier, their only source of safe water, broke down recently, and these people were hired to fix it. However, they are now demanding the balance owed, and as of 4/12/22, we only have two days (including today) to pay them the balance before they come and remove the water purifier.

This could cost children's lives. Without safe drinking and bathing water, they are exposed to deadly illnesses, germs, and ameobas. All of which could sadly VERY EASILY kill a child.

Please, we NEED your help. You truly can make the difference between sickness and health in these kids. Please, spread this post. Message it to blogs you think seem kind. Put it in your discord servers. Put it in your Instagram bio and advertise it on your story. Anything. It would mean so much. And if you want to help more, consider joining our volunteer discord! We also count it as work experience, so if you need a reference for your resume, consider helping us and gaining some skills and experience you can list on it! Seriously, this work is what got me hired on the spot for my first job. It's a big help!

Can you imagine being stripped of safety at the happiest moment of your life? I’m Suad, a young mother from Gaza, where I gave birth to my son Khaled amidst the chaos of w@r.

When I first heard his cries, I felt indescribable joy, but soon I was overwhelmed with fear. How would I protect him from the hor/rors surrounding us? Each day presents a new challenge from food and water shortages to a lack of medical care.

My family and I have faced repeated displ@cements, searching for a safe haven away from the bomb@rdments. I struggle daily to provide Khaled with his basic needs while our health deteriorates under these harsh conditions.

I urgently need your support to secure shelter and medical care for Khaled. You can be part of our story, as every bit of help makes a real difference.

If you can share my story or offer support, I would be forever grateful. Hope exists, but we need you to help us achieve it. Thank you for your understanding and big hearts.

Please share my story; it might reach someone who can offer support. If you’re unable to donate, sharing my story would mean so much. You can spread the link across your social media and reblog my pinned post. Additionally, sharing my account can help others follow our updates and support us.

I’ve been verified by Nabulsi, El-Shab Hussien, and NorthGazaUpdate, 90-ghost, and I’m listed on the vetted list on 279 line.

- Our story began with the birth of my son Khaled amid difficult circumstances; the joy was tinged with fear due to the surrounding situation. Link1 Link2 Link3

- Khaled fell seriously ill, and we had to take him to the hospital. These moments were filled with tension due to the lack of medical services and difficulty accessing them. Link1 Link2

-We experienced multiple displacements due to the surrounding dangers, facing daily threats to our lives and being forced to keep moving. Link1

-Khaled's health deteriorated significantly, and he required daily nebulization sessions to alleviate his condition, but power outages prevented us from providing the necessary treatment. Link1

-With the deteriorating conditions, we are suffering from significant financial pressures due to rising prices and a lack of resources, making it exhausting to meet our basic needs. Link1

I have come to realize that I can’t face these conditions alone. Every bit of support, whether through sharing my story or posting these updates, means so much to my family and me. I kindly ask you to help spread my story, as everyone who reads it may be a bridge to the support we desperately need.

Thank you for your understanding and your big hearts
