🥹 Best Pals Indeed

Hello,,

My name is Ashraf Alanqar, and I am 30 years old. My wife, Widad Issa, and I have a one-and-a-half-year-old son named Bakr. We used to live peacefully in the Al-Shuja’iya neighborhood, in a house we built just a week before the war began. I worked as a farmer and owned a large chicken farm that provided for my family.

Beloved of my heart (Bakr)

Then the war came and destroyed everything. Our home was reduced to ashes, and our chicken farm was obliterated. We lost our home, our livelihood, and even our basic rights. We've been forced to move from place to place in northern Gaza, simply trying to survive.

My House before...

Me.. while trying to recognize what has happened..

The terror we feel as we flee from heavy bombardment is unbearable. The sound of explosions around us, the constant fear as we navigate through the rubble of destroyed homes searching for safety and food, haunts us every day. My son Bakr is constantly scared and suffers from severe malnutrition and skin diseases due to the lack of food, water, and sanitation.

Our beautiful memories.. :(

We urgently need your help. I am asking for your support to fund this campaign to move my family to a safe place, provide us with a proper home, and ensure we have enough food, water, and medical care.

Baker used to play with his dog.

Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in our lives. We desperately need your support and solidarity during this difficult time. Together, we can restore hope and safety to Ashraf and his family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea. Your support means more than words can express. Together, we can turn a story of loss into a journey of hope and resilience.

Touch Starved

Character who:

instinctively flinches away from the first offer of contact

pulls back before their friend/partner can touch them, recoiling like a scared animal,

then stews in regret about the instinctive movement for days afterward, thinking about the missed opportunity,

wishing they could go back and accept it

wishing they could find a way to muster up the courage to ask for it

hungry for even a trace of contact, following their friend/partner around with silent, begging eyes, needing it so badly but unable to form the words for the request...

and then finally being hugged by surprise as someone comes up from behind them and wraps their arms around them

it feels so good, they can't even breathe for a moment,

tears prickle in their eyes the moment the other person pulls away

wait, they can barely whisper,

but this time their friend/partner hears them, wraps them in their arms, and doesn't let go for the longest time -

and this time, when their friend tries to disentangle themselves, the touch-starved character grabs onto their shirt or arms and holds on, too tight to allow them to pull away again. They're not about to let go of this ever again, now that they've finally found it.

The room will be your kingdom in the most random hours of night, perhaps.

living in a household where you have way too many family members and only one room you share is like survival
