It’s no problem. I’m very behind on WhatsApp. I know Ahmed’s situation is very serious & you desperately need donations for his medicine. I don’t want him to be in pain. I know how urgent things are with you now so I don’t mind being contacted at all, you just already know to understand I’m busy.

Ahmed's family is still crying out for the basic support they need for his care. Treatment he needs is cheap by Western standards, only $140. So there's no reason he should lack for this. This boy's life is in danger & you see him every day. His family feels so helpless. Please boost & give.

Screenshot of text that says: Hi, I'm juniper. I'm a single disabled mom who's waiting on SSI to help my kids and I get by. I use to work 2 jobs until my body couldn't handle doing it with my long covid issues. In December 2022 my health landed me in the ER where I was in AFib. My heart had to be restarted because it wouldn't come down from over 215 bpm. Not only was that experience extremely traumatizing but it was also eye opening that I am the only one caring for my kids. I realized I needed to do whatever I had to to make sure I stayed around for them.
Which brings me to the main reason outside of my health that I cannot work. One of my kids is disabled with level 3 autism. It is the most severe type of autism. He is nonverbal, aggressive when overwhelmed/ can't communicate and doesn't understand to avoid dangerous things. I have to lock my house up tight so he can't elope as drowning is a HUGE cause of death among severely autistic kids like my son. I'm in high alert majority of the day unless he sleeps.
He is 9 years old and it's equivalent toScreenshot of text that says: He is 9 years old and it's equivalent to watching a toddler all day who isn't potty trained, know danger and is constantly making messes. That's the best way I can describe it to someone who hasn't lived it.
My son is smart but he struggles with danger awareness, verbal communication and being sensitive to noise and everyday things you wouldn't bat an eye at.
I tried getting him caregivers but he did worse and was hurting those caregivers because he was so upset, I would have to take off work to come home and help him as well as relieve the caregivers. He needs me with him. I take him to his weekly therapies (when we had a car) which is 3 therapies and do everything for him as he has issues even using the bathroom, bathing himself and things kids usually know how to do by
4. This has put me in a very difficult situation not being able to work and waiting on government assistance to help. I'm now stuck needing help online.I'm extremely thankful to have this community and genuine people care about my kids and I.

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

The Palestinian death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza has surpassed 74,000. While this figure represents the official death toll as confirmed by local authorities, the true number could be much higher. “The [ceasefire] plan ended up just buying more time for the genocide,” says Muhammad Shehada.

I have a bad temper & actual anger management issue with my disability. Because bipolar anger is a feature of my disorder. And I inherit my dad's bad alcoholic temper too. I'm benevolent, not harmful, & I'll repair if I harm as when it got me in a psych ward by cops, but wrath & rage is part of me.

Mad people are a vanishing act in our invisible disability. We have to know the ways of the sane world decently for our survival.
