For the present and for the future!
For the living children!

Heal Minds Gaza: empowering Palestinian children who were in detention Palestinian children in Israeli occupation prisons face severe psychological violence that deeply impacts their sense of safety, identity, and community after their detention. The Heal Minds Gaza…

No support in a day again. Can we get this urgent mental health project—for kids from Gaza who suffered in Israeli prisons!!!—moving?

I see so much hopelessness circulating. Those aren't ours to feel and spread. We have to act. This is one meaningful way: chuffed.org/project/hmg

A lot of people have told me things like “there’s so little we can do!” (while doing nothing) and HECK no. Unlearn that. There’s so much one can do.
For example, reading about and supporting SPARK!

Spark Space | Linktree A safe, fully-equipped workspace serving students & workers in Gaza.

Wonderful update from Spark! The volunteers have just completed renovations on this amazing workspace where students can connect to classes, and freelancers can work remote jobs to feed their families.

It's time...for SPARKS FOR SPARK SPACE! Last week, ZERO takers to support hundreds of students & freelancers with internet + electricity. As famine haunts Gaza, families' access to income is crucial.

Just asking for a five you click “weekly” or “monthly” chuffed.org/project/spar...

Sarah is getting worse, and I feel helpless. There’s no medicine—and if we find it, it costs more than we could ever afford. She needs her monthly tests… but we couldn’t do a single one. I don’t know how to protect her anymore.

A pale purple graphic with the texture of linen, and an ink sketch of a purple watercolor rose. The title says "Safey for Ruaa" and is decorated with red tatreez olive leaves. The text says: "Ruaa alone provides for a family of seven, including her sick sister—she is exhausted, in pain, and reliant on strangers for help. Give this family hope for better days. Make a weekly recurring donation to stand by them every week, and lift the burden from young Ruaa's shoulders." In the corner says tinyurl.com/For-Ruaa

Our young friend Ruaa is struggling and exhausted, living through unimaginable difficulties. Our help gives her practical and emotional support. chuffed.org/project/help... 💕💸🍉

A close-up to some six little red flowers with a yellow nectar. Light green leaves.

Mucuna pruriens, a hand-coloured engraving after a drawing by Drake from the 24th volume of the Botanical Register (1838). I like this together with her portrait, because it looks like a close-up where the flowers are on their profile too. The flowers are asymmetrical, with one white shorter petal, and a large, dark violet petal below. The long leaves are in the backround, creating a nice light effect.

Sarah Anne Drake (1803–1857) was an English botanical illustrator who worked with John Lindley, Augusta Innes Withers, Nathaniel Wallich, and others.
She created more than one thousand paintings and drawings.
