T. Mohammad from GazaMy repeated requests for your help have humiliated me and stripped away my dignity.
Every time I reach out my hand, I feel as if I’m losing a part of myself, as though silence would have been better than asking for help that makes me appear weak in front of people.

I am so sorry you feel this way. You know you have our full support. And we know how difficult it is to ask for help. Asking for help never means losing dignity. It requires a lot of humility and courage. And we respect you so much for that. Many friends tell me that they don’t know what they would have done in such a situation. I don’t know if I would have been able to ask for help. You are struggling for your family to survive and you show us what resilience means every day.
T. Mohammad from Gaza@marion_v@mastodon.social But I have come to see myself as neglected, and my posts as ignored, as if we are invisible.
No one pays attention to us, not even a share or a comment, even though it costs nothing in money or effort.
This repeated neglect has made me feel abandoned, and has made me see myself humiliated here—not because I am weak, but because pain faced with silence is harsher than poverty itself.
Marion@MohammedHussein@mastodon.social I understand you. And I hear your pain. Be sure you are considered 🫂
T. Mohammad from Gaza@marion_v@mastodon.social I hope to be treated as a human being
Marion@MohammedHussein@mastodon.social this is what we are all fighting for, that you and all Palestinians be treated as human beings.
El Dado Inquieto@marion_v@mastodon.social @MohammedHussein@mastodon.social Yes, all people deserve to be treated as human beings.
And we are trying to help with the means available to each of us.
