Imagine living in a war zone, raising five children in a tent with no breadwinner, while struggling to afford basic necessities and medical care.

This is the daily reality of Lynn Matar, a mother and wife from Gaza.

Story written by @wolfboy-awoos and @visionsofaselfmademan

Lynn’s husband, Ahmed, traveled to the Netherlands just before the war to find work and support their family. Left behind in Gaza, Lynn endured the horrors of war alone. The destruction of their home has forced her and her children to live in a tent, facing extreme poverty and the inflated costs of everything due to the conflict. Her children suffer from serious illnesses, and Lynn is unable to provide them with the medical care, food, and shelter they desperately need.

Lynn dreams of reuniting with her husband and providing her children with a safe and stable life away from the devastating conditions in Gaza. To achieve this, she has launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover the costs of travel, medical care, and essential supplies for her family.

Your donation can be a glimmer of hope for Lynn and her children. Even a small contribution can help this family escape the horrors of war and start a new life together. If you cannot donate, sharing Lynn's story could help her reach someone who can.

You can donate to Ahmed and Lynn’s GoFundMe [HERE].

as a child there's nothing cooler than a kid who gets subjected to evil experiments and gains special abilities. it's even cooler if these abilities also cause unfathomable suffering to use/against others. children love stories like this.

"School districts currently work with processing companies to offer cashless payment systems for families. But the companies can charge “processing fees” for each transaction. By law, students who are eligible for reduced price meals cannot be charged more than 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents for lunch. With processing fees, however, families can end up paying 10 times that amount. Processing companies charge as much as $3.25 or 4% to 5% per transaction, according to a recent report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau."

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

Imagine dedicating your life to studying medicine, driven by the ambition to serve your people, only to have your dreams jeopardized by war and embittered by separation from your family.

This is the current reality for Mohamad Smeer, a Palestinian medical student studying in Egypt.

Story written by @visionsofaselfmademan

In 2012, Mohamad represented Palestine in mathematics in Malaysia, showcasing his academic excellence and commitment to his country's future. Now, as a medical student in Egypt, he faces immense challenges due to the escalating conflict in Gaza. Since the war began on October 7th, Mohamad has lost contact with his family, leaving him isolated and burdened with the weight of his studies amidst personal turmoil.

The destruction of his family’s home in Gaza has compounded his struggles, eliminating the financial support he once relied upon. Despite these hardships, Mohamad remains determined to complete his medical education and fulfill his dream of providing essential healthcare to his community.

To overcome these obstacles, Mohamad has begun a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for his educational expenses and potential evacuation. Your support can help him continue his studies and achieve his goal of becoming a doctor dedicated to serving those in need.

You can donate to Mohammed's GoFundMe [HERE].

Today, I received a message from a distraught mother of five in Gaza.

This is Suheila's story:

@suhailaalwan1

The story of Suheila Alwan is a heartbreaking reflection of the dire conditions faced by so many families in Gaza. A mother of five, living in a tent with her children, she is struggling to shield her family from the cold and rain while mourning the loss of their home and her husband's livelihood. Her youngest asks every day, “Where is our home?”—a question no parent should ever have to answer.

Suheila’s story is not unique but part of the larger tragedy of war and displacement the people in Gaza are facing this Christmas. These families need more than just shelter—they need safety, warmth, and hope. Please take a moment to share her story or contribute in any way you can to help her family and others like hers rebuild their lives. Every small gesture matters. Let’s show her that the world has not forgotten her and her children.

Her campaign is verified and documented. Your support can be the lifeline her family needs.

Please consider donating to Suheila's GoFundMe [HERE] to help her, her husband, and her five children survive inhumane living conditions in Gaza.

Bruce tries to adopt Ellie, who is immediately against it. She keeps throwing him off her trail and he keeps tracking her down. She's honestly concerned, and normally she would handle her problems by herself- but this is Batman.

So when Bruce gets a little too close and Ellie is just so tired... she calls for Danny.

"Mom!"

Cue college student, perpetually tired and overworked Danny "High King Phantom" Fenton appearing from the very shadows Batman normally does himself, seeing the situation and going off at this "clearly older man" chasing his daughter in the middle of the night.

Cue the most elaborate "stop trying to adopt my kid before I adopt yours" series of battles
