u/Mivasair Jewish Aug 15 '24

I want to add that the need is not only for money. There is a huge need for people there to simply have someone NOT there who expresses care toward them, who listens to them, who witnesses with compassion and empathy.

I think of the people who scrawled on the walls of barracks in Nazi concentration camps "if only someone on the outside knew what they are doing to us here".

I want to be the people who let them know that we do care, we are listening, we are trying to help, and they can tell us what is going on in their lives.

If you want to talk with me about yourself doing this for someone trapped in the hell of Gaza -- or two or three people -- please reach out and contact me. I don't know how Reddit works and am not likely to look here for messages, so better to DM me on Twitter @mivasair or use WhatsApp and write to me at +1 (604) 781-7839.
