thank you so much for sharing this with me. My heart really goes out to Mosab and his family. The tragedy and suffering they’re enduring in Gaza are beyond words. It’s unimaginable to lose 25 loved ones each one holding so much meaning and I can’t even begin to comprehend the pain and grief that they are going through. The struggle for basic needs, such as food, clean water, and shelter, is something that’s hard for many of us to grasp, especially when we’re fortunate enough to not face those same challenges.

It’s so moving that Mosab has found the strength to reach out, despite everything they are enduring. I think that’s a beautiful reminder of the importance of compassion and kindness, and how a little bit of help can make a world of difference. Even if I can’t donate right now, I will definitely share their story and encourage others to do the same. Raising awareness is just as powerful as any financial contribution, and it’s amazing to see that there are already people coming together to support them.

I truly hope that they can receive the help they need to get through this unimaginable hardship. The fact that Mosab is still holding onto hope and believing in a better tomorrow is truly inspiring. It shows just how resilient people can be, even when faced with the darkest times.

I believe that no act of kindness is too small, and I want to do whatever I can to support Mosab, his family, and others going through similar struggles.

Sending them love and strength, and my thoughts are with them during this incredibly tough time.

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.

The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.

Our Current Situation:

💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.

How You Can Help:

I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.

Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.

What This Means to Us:

Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.

Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.

With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️

the food pantry is really limited in what it can provide, which makes things so much harder when you’re trying to make your meals last for the week. I can see why you’re frustrated. it’s tough when they give you just enough for a couple of days but not enough to plan for an entire week. It seems like they’re not set up to actually help with long-term meal planning, which is the whole point of getting food assistance in the first place. Having limited amounts of things like pasta, rice, or produce means you’re constantly stretching what you have, and it’s hard to create balanced meals with just carbs and snacks. And those small portions just aren’t going to last if you’re trying to eat more than a few basic meals. I can imagine how draining it must be to have to get super creative with what little you’ve got, and it’s even more stressful when you just don’t have the time or energy for that. It’s really unfair when you’re already in a tough spot trying to save money on groceries and the resources available are so limited.

The frustration is understandable, especially when you’ve got so many restrictions on what you can take. It doesn’t feel like real support when it’s that restrictive, and it probably makes you feel even more stressed about getting enough to eat. It’s nice that there are resources available, but if they’re not giving you what you need to plan actual meals, it’s hard to feel like they’re really helping. Hopefully, they will figure out a better system that can actually make a difference for students who need more than just snack portions. You deserve more than that.

incredibly frustrating, and I totally get where you’re coming from. It’s tough when you’re trying to make the most of limited resources, and then those resources aren’t even set up to help you in a meaningful way. The food pantry sounds like it’s doing its best, but the restrictions and lack of variety make it nearly impossible to put together a full, balanced meal. I can imagine how exhausting it must feel to have to get creative every time you want to make something that actually fills you up. I agree that carbs are important, but without protein, fat, and enough veggies, it’s just not enough to sustain you long-term. The pantry giving out limited items like rice or pasta but not much to pair them with seems counterproductive. the lack of basic ingredients like eggs or flour must make it so hard to cook something substantial or comforting. You shouldn’t have to struggle to make a meal out of what they give, especially when you’re already working with a limited budget. yeah, I totally feel for you with the accessibility issues. Having limited parking, especially when it’s meter spots that aren’t even being used, seems like a huge oversight. Carrying groceries that far with a pain flare? That’s just wrong. It’s already hard enough to juggle everything without having to deal with that extra stress. You’re right to be frustrated. You should be able to rely on these resources to actually support you, not just provide snacks for a few days. It’s tough when the system doesn’t seem to understand what real, sustained help looks like. You’re doing your best with what you have, but it’s not enough. Hopefully, there will be improvements in the future to make things more accessible and helpful for everyone who needs it. Keep doing your best, though! it’s clear you’re making the most of a tough situation, even if it’s not ideal.

What the food pantry on campus does:

- gives me snacks and drinks to supplement my regular groceries, breakfast stuff, maybe ingredients for 1-2 actual meals

What the food pantry is really bad at doing:

- giving me food I can make into proper meals for the week

Oh you want juice? Here’s 2 little juice boxes. Nothing else; they’re limited. You want pasta sauce? 1 can; limited. You want produce? 2 produce item limit, except for the apples which are starting to spoil. You can have all of those. You want frozen chicken? One container only. Oh, they’re all stuck together and frozen? Sorry, you can’t have two; no chicken, I guess. Pasta? One box only. Rice? Two small bags, max. Breakfast bars? Yeahhhh, those are a snack, and you can only have five snacks, total. But if you put those pop tarts back, you could have some! Oh, you want donuts instead? Sure! But that’s a bakery item, and you can only have one baked good, so you’re gonna need to put that bread back. You want ziploc bags? Here, have two. Not two boxes, two bags. Item limits. Sorry. You can come back next week!

How the fuck are people supposed to actually *use* these things for weekly meal planning if there’s not enough to last a week???

I swear I am grateful for these resources I’m sure they’re doing the best they can with what they have I’m just *frustrated*. I’m trying to spend less on groceries bc I can’t really afford them. It’s nice that the food pantry gives me these small portions to last me a couple days. But that still leaves several days with not enough food unless I’m really creative or go grocery shopping, and I simply do not have the energy or time to be really creative.

LOL buttered noodles sound amazing, I totally get why you’d skip the sauce and go for the butter instead. Garlic is always a good idea, so I’m glad you took the plunge! Black pepper adds that perfect kick, doesn’t it? Honestly, sometimes it’s just about what you’re craving in the moment, and it sounds like you made a delicious choice. As for the egg situation… I feel you! It’s funny how food preferences can be so personal. I mean, I totally get why people love grapefruit, but it’s just not for me either. I can’t stand the bitterness! dark chocolate? Ugh, I agree, it’s like it’s trying to punish me. Coffee, though? I’ve had to work up to it. I used to drown it in sugar too, but now I’m a bit more tolerant of the bitterness. It’s like one of those acquired tastes that’s hard to explain, but once you get it, it just works. honestly, I totally get your frustration with all these ‘weird’ foods. I mean, why can’t people just explain what’s good about them in detail?? 😂

I love those choices! Darker shades can be really versatile and create a stylish, sophisticated look. They also pair well with a lot of other colors. Do you have a favorite piece in one of those shades?

That makes sense! It’s nice to appreciate a color visually without necessarily wearing it. Who knows, maybe you’ll find the perfect yellow piece that feels right for you someday! What colors do you typically feel most comfortable in?

Got it! Just the aesthetic then—no actual love for yellow! That’s a fun way to play around with styles without committing to the color.

It’s amazing how our preferences can shift, especially with something as iconic as the color yellow in relation to the Catholic Church. Sometimes a little context can completely change how we feel about something. Have you been embracing yellow in your wardrobe or decor now?
