Hello Dear, I hope you get my message while you're fine.🙏

I'm Ola, a graduate student from the faculty of science at Al-Azhar university Gaza, Palestine. I'm a dedicated and passionate student, striving to become a good researcher and teacher.

Unexpectedly, my life took a drastic turn with the commencement of the cruel war on Gaza, transforming me from a passionate student to a person struggling for survival. 🥺

Amidst the ongoing conflict, and after more than 280 days of suffering and destruction, myself and my family find ourselves grappling with immense challenges.

l send you this message needing your support. I sincerely hope you can empathize with my dire situation and consider supporting me. You can follow me to make sure I am not a scammer and to inquire about any details. Your generosity has the power to make a significant difference.

I have tried a lot to communicate with anyone here on this platform, but I have not succeeded. I hope you are my hope for success and I'll be very grateful if you reblog my pinned post.

I am waiting a message from you🥹

I had a fursona with no clear species, actually!! She was based on fennec foxes and lynxes. She looked a bit like this:

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #245 )✅️

When @noor-alanqar shared her fundraiser with me, I wanted to help her Gofundme spread by drawing her three beautiful children. She, her husband, and their three children Rajaa (5 years old), Youssef (10 months old), and Hussein (6 years old) all need to rebuild and stay safe.

Here is Nour's campaign, she is halfway to her goal, with €20,558 raised of €40,000!!

If you cannot donate, I would really appreciate it if you could share her campaign. Let’s help her reach her goal!!

As I have messaged her, she has also asked me to mention the people below:

a gathering, a murder

[tortiefrancis]

[ ID: A digital, stylized comic with a white background, black text and blue accents and borders. Individual image descriptions below:

1) At the top, a Pikachu's ears. Text in the center reads: "I'm a Pikachu".

In the center, several pokémon, of different types and sizes, with a Pikachu looking at them wide eyed. Text around them reads: "My world is filled with lots of cool stuff, sometimes it feels like anything is possible! All sorts of types, all sorts of attacks, all sorts of pokemon".

2) Two boxes on the top, each on one side, showing two Pikachus, one with a straight tail and the Mars/Male symbol above it, and the other with a heart shaped tail with a Venus/Female symbol above it. In the center, there's a Pikachu with a spiky, V shaped tail, facing right.

The text reads: "But... only two ways a Pikachu's tail could look. So then, what am I?" An arrow points towards their tail.

3) There are three blue rectangles in the center, getting darker and darker, showing pikachu falling gradually. On the last box, it's only text.

Text around the boxes reads: "Too pointy to be (female), too much of a v-shape to be (male). I thought there was something wrong with me,"

Text continues on the boxes: "I felt very, very, very alone". Below this is the top of the next panel, showing two Pikachus reaching out to one another.

4) At the top, a Pikachu helps the other one get up. Text around them reads: "But then, something happened,"

At the bottom, three pikachus are shown, in different shades of yellow and with different tails. One has a round tail, one has a scar in the middle of the tail, and the other has a slightly spiky tail. Text below them reads: "I found others like me".

5) At the top, blue and white boxes show close ups on the tails, text reading: "Round tails, scarred tails, spiky tails'"

At the bottom, all of the Pikachus hug each other and smile, lightning coming from one of their cheeks. Text reads: "They told me nothing was wrong with me,". Continues on the next panel.

6) Top shows the bottom of the last panel. Text continues: "And I wasn't alone anymore".

Below this, text reads: "There are many ways a Pikachu's tail can look like. I've heard there's at least over 30 different variations".

Below this, two blue and white boxes. The first shows the Pikachu with the scarred tail. The second shows the first Pikachu, with the spiky v-shaped tail, on the ground, distressed, with a purple ring on its chest while surrounded by male and female symbols.

Text on the first box reads: "My friend tells me her tail used to look just like mine. It was taken from her". Second box reads: "Some days are still hard."

7) The pikachu looks up. Text around them reads: "Some trainers won't accept pikachu that aren't (male) or (female). They alter our tails without our consent. But things are getting better. We are making change. We're fighting so that our tails will be left alone".

Below this, a blue and white rectangle showing all of the four pikachu running together and smiling. Text below reads: "We're all on a spectrum. Every tail looks different; anything is possible". Below that, more text: "This is a comic about intersex people".
