I am not a hero

This post needs as much sharing and reach as possible. Thank you.

Hello there. This is Dr. Ali, an emergency doctor. I am currently surviving a genocide. I have been here since the very beginning, trying to communicate the human pain, the truth, and the struggle for survival.

I have also tried to use the platform that this genocide has forced upon me to help others survive the starvation and the cold.

I am not a hero, but I try to do the things that heroes would do.

The world's leaders have been busy either killing children or destroying the innocence of countless others, making their lives beyond miserable. Meanwhile, over the past several months, I have been doing everything I can to advocate for thousands of children and give them whatever warmth and support I could offer.

This initiative started months ago when I saw children walking barefoot in the mud and babies dying from the cold. At that moment, I felt that I was in a position of responsibility to try to make even the smallest difference. So I used this platform to ask for support, hoping we could do something on a larger scale and reach many of the tent camps inside our camp.

My team, Aboud and Elisa, have been incredibly helpful throughout this journey.

Last Sunday, we distributed school bags and stationery to 370 girls. This coming Sunday, we will distribute 430 more to another school.

We have done a lot. But honestly, I have reached a point where I feel completely consumed and drained of energy to continue.

Still, today I found enough strength to come up with another idea. I discussed it with my team, and we all agreed to do everything we can to make it happen. I decided to make this post to ask for additional support so we can combine it with the remaining funds we have and buy Eid clothes for children for the upcoming Eid al-Fitr, which is less than two weeks away.

This will make so many children in our camp incredibly happy, and their families will deeply appreciate it. It will bring joy and hope to many children who desperately need it.

Please help me make this happen. Help me make it a happy Eid for hundreds, and maybe even thousands, of children. This post needs as much sharing and reach as possible. The campaigns link is in my bio.

Note: Those who donate the most will receive a special a Eid gift

I can spend my entire life resisting exhaustion, resisting the fading of imagination, finding word after word to make others feel even a fraction of the responsibility I feel toward human lives.
