For those who don’t know, I am an American citizen.

If things go south here, and I am forced to delete my social medias for my own personal safety,

Know that I love you, and I’m so glad that I’ve built my tiny little fanbase over the past few years. You mean the world to me. One day, i will return - if I am forced to leave - if I have a say in things. Remember my name. Remember my country, and my people. Remember the men, women, and gender-nonconforming people that will be forced into hiding. Remember the people who will die someone they never were. Remember the many lavender marriages that will, undoubtedly happen. Remember the women who will die because of neglected medical care. Remember the lives that we lost, and will lose, because of people blinded by hatred and fear.

Remember me.

Do not let my fighting go forgotten, as quiet and hidden as it may be. Live loud for me, be proud of who you are because I never will get to be proud of myself.

Until then, I will hide in a body I hate, in a town that never knew me, in a church that I never wanted to be apart of. Maybe I’ll die that way. I’ve made my peace with that. History will tell my story when the time comes.

But most importantly,

Help us be free again. When we can’t fight, fight for us. We can’t do this on our own.

If this is the last post I make,

If this is the last the world will hear of me,

Do not ever forget. Tell our stories.

Goodbye.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to visit my GoFundMe campaign. My name is Belal, I am a 29-year-oldhuman rights lawyer from the northern area of Gaza. I lived a happy and meaningful life with my wife and my family until everything changed onOctober 7.

This is our story:

My life was just getting started. I graduated law school in 2021 and got married to my beautiful wife in 2022. I’d been working on building my house since 2019, and finally I finished it onNovember 24, 2022. Just before the beginning of this terrible war, onSeptember 1, 2023, I finally achieved my lifelong dream of starting my own law firm. It’s very difficult to open a law office here in Gaza, so there are very few other people who have been able to achieve this at my age. Opening my law firm was one of the proudest moments of my life. I worked extremely hard for everything I had. Although I knew that the odds of achieving my dreams were slim, I never let this stop me. In the moments where I wanted to give up, I drew strength from God and from my love for my community, my love for Gaza.

My house was destroyed on October 13 –– our beautiful moments, our memories, and all our precious belongings were all gone with it. My law firm was also destroyed that week. Everything I had worked so hard for throughout my entire life, gone in an instant.We’ve been displaced 5 times in 5 different homes, and now our “home” is a tent that houses 15 people. We were forced to travel from the very north of Gaza to the southernmost area. We risked our lives every time we were forced to flee, as bombs and missiles rained down on us, destroying our neighborhoods and taking thousands of lives. Somehow, alhamdulillah, each time we miraculously escaped death as we searched for life without knowing what would happen to us the next day.

Our displacement journey began, moving several times from one area to another, until we ended up in a tent in the “Tal al-Sultan” area in the city of “Rafah.” You can imagine how difficult life is in a tent. Everything is done with great difficulty. We are forced to use primitive methods to carry out daily tasks. Every day we make fires to prepare food, and struggle to provide water to drink or bathe. Going to the bathroom is a struggle in itself for adults rather than children, in the absence of toilets suitable for human use.

The situation worsens with the advent of summer and rising temperatures. The tent literally turns into a “sauna” during the day, and we suffer from pollution,influenza, and other serious diseases that lead tohepatitis. On top of that,I lost my private office that I had established just a month before the war and my job. I was working as alawyer and legal advisor for many local and internationalinstitutions and became unemployed due to a complete power outage and lack of Internet connection most of the time. I am facing great difficulty in providing for my family's needs amidst the crazy rise in prices. We have suffered enough and been subjected to a lot of fear and panic over the past seven months. The city of Rafah is now threatened by a ground invasion at any moment by the occupation, so I decided to travel and leave Gaza.

Despite how much I love the place that will always be my home, the genocidal war has left nothing for us. I struggle every day to provide for my basic needs because of the huge rise in prices. My wife and I often do not know where our next meal will come from. We have no access to proper medical care. It pains me to say that I am living the worst days of my life. It’s one nightmare after another. There is no life here and I fear I will die if I can’t leave. I lost a brother of mine a while ago, I lost my home, my law firm, and everything I worked so hard for. I don’t want to lose anything else.

Your donations will help my wife and I escape certain death in Gaza by traveling to Egypt. We will then figure out where we can go next to continue our lives, we will go to any country that will take us. After the immense weight of having seen so much death and lost so much, we want to start a new chapter in our lives. Wherever we go, I will continue to do my life’s work of defending human rights and seeking justice for all people. We know we deserve a better life, and we are endlessly grateful for any support you can provide to help us get to this goal.

Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and support..

America is well known for its dependency on cars and nowhere is that more prevalent than the Phoenix metro area. However, there's a new neighborhood that's planning to shake up the idea of car centric zoning! Let's visit Culdesac, Americas newest car free neighborhood!

I just made an order on my food delivery app, and a minute later I got a notification saying "The restaurant is really busy right now :( Your order won't be able to be delivered until 9:32 pm :("

It's 8:47 pm right now. That's 45 minutes. Oh no. I have to sit on the couch relaxing and doing absolutely nothing for a mere 45 minutes, and then someone will bring a freshly cooked meal right to my door without me having to lift a finger. What horror. What tragedy.

I think we've come to expect too much these days.

Learn more about the inspiration behind the art pieces at Culdesac from Matthew Salenger, an Art Manager at CoLab Studios.

Culdesac is the first walkable neighborhood built from scratch in the U.S. We were able to do this by reaching a historic agreement with the City of Tempe, allowing us to build zero residential parking. We have restaurants, retailers, an urban market, and other amenities on-site.
