Hello, I am Moamen Selmi. I am 26 years old. My child,
Maryam, is 2 years
old. My wife and I are from Palestine. We live in Gaza. I cannot believe what happened to me and my family. Everything was destroyed, including our beautiful home, our future, and the future of my child Maryam. My work was completely destroyed. I used to work as a delivery person and had a bicycle, but the
occupation destroyed it. And my beautiful home was destroyed. The last months were full of death, fear, displacement, and hunger. It was like a nightmare. We destroyed our hopes, our memories, our home, and my work. There was nothing left.
We did not expect that we would one day reach this difficult time. I now live in a very hot tent, and there are
strange insects in it, and I am now afraid for my child. Maryam does not have milk, Pampers, or clean food, so she loses weight every day
The occunation destraver eventhino tar my cavoher danam. her chlchood
• Maryam.
everything changed at the beginning of October 7th, after two weeks of war. The occupation forced us to leave the house and escape from the random and unbelievable missiles. We left our house carrying our few clothes and personal belongings and took refuge in Rafah, south of the Strip.
. Gaza
I need help for me, my wife and my daughter. We need safety. We need stability. I need to provide food for my . daughter. We need to leave the Gaza Strip to build our lives. It was not easy to ask for help at all, but why do we have any other good? From the bottom of my heart I ask you to help us as much as you can in this
circumstance. Urgent and serious we would be very gratetul then
You helped us get out of this miserable life because with your help we can register all my family members and go out together without worrying if anyone remains in Gaza.
We ask you to share this fundraising campaign with anyone you know to reach more people before it ends.
We have seen the importance of sharing it with
friends and families. Even with someone you do not know, ask him to provide the service if you cannot do it yourself
• Of sharing
We are all very grateful and honored and will never forget
your kindness in our difficult times. Thank you.

Please Help Momen And His Family to Leave Gaza

<div>Dear Friends,



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart, seeking urgent assistance for my family in Gaza. I am a Gazan who is now living in Belgium. On November 24, 2023, we tragically lost 40 family members in a bombing that targeted the mosque adjacent to my family’s home, destroying the house in the process. Only five members of my family survived the devastation, and I feel the need to share their stories with you.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>My brother, Raed, lost his wife and four out of his five children in the bombing of their house. He now finds himself homeless with his lone surviving child, a 13-year-old boy (Nahed) who deserves education, a roof above his head, safety and a better life…

</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>Another brother, Mohammed, also lost his wife. They were newlyweds, having just celebrated their union last summer, only to have their time together cut tragically short.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>My elderly parents, who are far too old to endure the harsh conditions in Gaza, are also among the survivors. They, along with the rest of the survivors of my family, deserve a safer and more dignified existence.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>Currently, they are all living together in a tent, struggling to provide for their basic needs. The injuries they’ve endured during the attack make it even more challenging to provide food and water, especially with the exorbitant prices in Gaza.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>My ultimate goal is to secure a means for my family to leave Gaza and to provide them with the financial support they need to survive while they’re still battling this battle in Gaza. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in their lives.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>Your help is crucial and deeply appreciated. Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time.



</div>



<div><br />

Aid for my family in Gaza

<div>(UPDATED AS EVACUATIONS ARE NOT CURRENTLY POSSIBLE) My name is Monehra, and I am raising money for my friend Lina, and her family in Gaza. They wanted to evacuate, but unfortunately it is not currently possible. Instead they will be using the funds to pay for food, and other necessities, as well as money to help pay for Lina’s education. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is Lina's message to the world:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am Lina and I am 19 years old. I am a high school graduate and had beautiful dreams for my family and I. My dream was to study in medical school and my dad's dream for me was to become a doctor. I have many dreams with my family but in Gaza dreams die before they come to reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I woke up on the morning of October 7 to war and being terrified. We left our home in Gaza due to the severe Israeli bombardment. Our beautiful home holds our wonderful memories with my family. We miraculously left Gaza and were displaced to my grandfather's place in the Maghazi camp.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One day, a house in the area was targeted, causing a huge explosion, so my father decided for us to flee for the second time. We left my grandfather’s house in intense fear and headed to an UNRWA shelter in Khan Younis with the hope that we would find safety.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We faced many issues at the beginning in Khan Younis. There was no place to stay in a tent, but with patience we found a place but it did not exceed more than 4 meters. Our tent was set up from pieces of wood which did not protect us from the severe cold weather however we adapted despite the lack of food and lack of warmth from the cold winter nights. Having my father by my side made everything easier for me and I felt safer with him there. We lived in our tent for more than a month and a half.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79372585_1717343808949104_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the beginning of 2024 we hoped to celebrate the New Year like the rest of people of the world, but in Gaza all we hear are frightening explosions, however we still dreamed of better times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Until 1/24/2024, when the Israeli Occupation Forces surrounded the area with tanks and bulldozers. My father was praying in our tent and then sat with us and suddenly was sniped in the back. We tried saving my father's life but were not successful. That was the last time I saw my father's beautiful face and we could not find a place to bury him so we had to bury him on the side of the road.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We were displaced for a third time, this time without my father, to Deir Al Balah. My siblings and I are still grieving my father's loss and dealing with the struggles of war. I wish I could live in this world with peace and safety and return to my beautiful home with my family and resume life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every time I close my eyes at night, I see my father. There will come a day when I realize my father and I's dream of studying in medical school.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In these few lines I have tried describing what happened to us. My story is one of war.
</div>
<div>I wish everyone a beautiful life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sincerely, Lina.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>----
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is why we are raising money to help Lina and her family escape genocide, and live their dreams. They deserve to live a normal life just like the rest of us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It currently costs $5000 per person to evacuate Gaza through the Egyptian border.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our first target goal is $30,000, which once reached we will be able to help Lina's family register 6 family members (including children). However, the long term goal is closer to $100,000 since they are a big family with many children (including as young as 3) as well as elderly family members. For this reason, every single penny that goes towards this fundraiser will help, even if it is $5.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money will be given to Lina's family in Egypt (who I have met and am in direct contact with) to register them to evacuate.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything and everything helps, so please donate what you can; utilize your resources! Share widely, donate generously, stay tethered to your heart!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for all your support.

<div><strong>WHAT HAPPENED TO TYRE</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is RowVaughn Wells. I am the mother of Tyre Nichols. My son, Tyre Nichols, was pulled over for suspected “reckless driving” on January 7, 2023. There is no evidence to substantiate this claim. Further, police claim that my son left the scene on foot. It turns out that he was just trying to get to my house for safety -- which was only a few blocks away from where the incident happened. My baby was just trying to make it home to be safe in my arms. Tyre was unarmed, nonthreatening, and respectful to police during the entire encounter!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>BRUTALLY BEATEN BEYOND RECOGNITION</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During my son's interaction with the police, they beat him beyond recognition until he became unconscious. He was then taken to a hospital and immediately placed on life support. He died 3 days later, but I believe that my son died on January 7th, the moment those 5 Black Memphis Police Officers pulled Tyre over and beat him to death for no good reason. His cousin who saw him in the hospital, swollen and disfigured, like “he was a scary monster.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHERE THE INVESTIGATION STANDS</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All 5 Officers have been fired, and charges ranging from Murder 2 to Kidnapping, have been filed against them. The video of Tyre's murder is set to be released any day now. I would like to warn everyone that the contents of the video are "horrific." However, I am asking people to protest in peace after its release. I don’t want us burning up our cities, and tearing up the streets because that’s not what my son stood for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>ABOUT TYRE</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tyre Nichols was loved by his community and was known to be gentle, kind, and joyful. He loved skating and was originally from the Bay Area in California. He was known as someone “you know when he comes through the door he wants to give you a hug” and that “he wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He had never been in trouble with the law, not even a parking ticket. He was an honest man, a wonderful son, and kind to everyone. He was quirky and true to himself, and his loss will be felt nationally.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WE ARE SEEKING SUPPORT FOR OUR FAMILY AND TYRE'S MEMORIAL</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My husband and I have had our entire world turned upside down by what happened to our son. We are two hardworking, loving parents, that now have to turn our full-time attention to seeking proper justice for our son, Tyre Nichols. In addition, we have yet to have the proper space to begin our grieving process, which will be long and burdensome. This fundraiser will help cover the costs of our mental health services. It will also cover time off from our 9-5 jobs because we do not have unlimited PTO. Additionally, we want to build a memorial skate park for Tyre, in honor of his love for skating and sunsets. &lt;3
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Note:</strong> Thank you to COMMUNITYx, a social network for change, and its CEO Chloe Sledd, who have helped our family create this fundraiser and bring greater justice to this issue.

<div>Hello, my name is Benjamin Kim and I want to introduce you all to my five year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi Shantotto! She turned 5 years old this January, and we hope to ring in many more. She's my wife's emotional support dog, our little furbaby, and sister to our cat Y'shtola. Her presence in our lives is larger than life. Shantoots adores running in an open dog park chasing her ball and bringing it back to anyone who would throw it for her. She's learned to enjoy fetch in the water as well, even though she prefers land a bit more haha. At home she's either the best cuddle/snuggle buddy you could ever ask for or the life of the party. She keeps herself diligently patrolling the front window incase anyone dares step on her sidewalk. Nothing makes her happier than playing fetch and being able to just run free and strong.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What brings this little story here is some rear knee injuries began to progress quickly over the past month and a half. At the beginning we saw her avoid the couch, stand at the base of the stairstep for 10 minutes trying to work up the strength/nerve to try going up them. She began to run less, move/be awake less, increased aggression and 'bunny hopping'. After an x-ray and exam from the vet Shantotto was diagnosed with an affusion (partially torn ACL) in her rear left knee and both knees has osteoarthritis. We brought her home and set the house up so she didn't have to jump up, and began her on her anti-inflammatories. These showed improvement and progress for about a week until the pain symptoms started showing again this time worse. She became incredibly lame and would slip just walking let alone running. Another vet visit and x-ray later she was recommended to an orthopedic surgeon to fix the ACL tear as it's progressed to being a near full tear. This, is where I come here to ask for all of your support and help. The surgery and aftercare costs totaled to 6 grand.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our options are to get this surgery or have to humanely put her down due to the injury. She has only gotten worse, more lame, more aggressive, and less and less and less Shantotto. Most days we can barely recognize her in her demeanor. Please help us help Shantotto to continue her life for many years to come. Thank you so much for your time! The deadline for us is February 14th to raise the money. For anyone who helps thank you so much for letting us not having to snuff out the light of our lives.

<strong>PLEASE READ MOST RECENT UPDATE AT END OF STORY! <br /><br />We have lost the home we've lived in for our entire lives. 2 Days Ago, police knocked on our door and told us that our house has been sold. Now we have until July 6th to find a place to live.</strong><br /><br /><strong>My family is a family of 2, consisting of a younger sibling (Dave, 24) who is autistic and his older sister (Eola, 25) who is physically disabled, left alone to take care of the 2 by herself after our father passed away last year.</strong><br /><br />Our father left the house to our older brother, who does not care for us due to the fact that he doesn't like our mother. The house being in his name, he sold it, without even telling either of us.<br /><br />My father was 80 years old when he passed. A black man, an amazing father, and a hard worker. He ran away from a farm where he picked cotton as a sharecropper since he was old enough to pick cotton with his hands to Florida where he worked hard, years and years to pay off this house and secure his family to have something, even if it wasn't much, when he would eventually pass.<br /><br />We did not receive any money when my father passed away, we did not receive anything and all we had was a roof to stand under, with this house.<br /><br />We have been struggling and struggling every single day to just survive, there have been days and WEEKS where we have starved with no money and no food and no way of getting either. All of which, our older brother who has betrayed us now, ignored.<br /><br />He's taken any money he's gotten from selling the house for himself and has not even considered trying to help us at all.<br /><br />And now we have been told that we no longer have a home. We need money to secure a move to somewhere safe and the funds to be able to live until we can get ourselves stable (deposits if we can by some miracle find a place, and a few months rent) so we don't end up on the streets.<br /><br />Even a few bucks could help, things have been so hard and we just want to have hope. Thank you!<br /><br />If you would like to speak directly, please reach out to Eola's <a href="http://twitter.com/Velellarts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">twitter at Velellarts</a> .<br /><br />UPDATE: After reaching our initial goal, WE ARE HAPPY TO SAY WE FOUND A PLACE TO LIVE! On Friday morning (7/24/20) we paid the down payment for a house rental!! We are so happy to say that in about a week, we will be able to move in.<br /><br />But we never expected it to be so hard to find a place. Because we had to pay our rent for the entire year upfront we aren't left with much and the only place we could get accepted to doesn't come with appliances. We had to leave all of our furniture and appliances back in Florida so expenses have come up to more than we initially hopes.<br /><br />Because of all of this we've decided to raise our goal. If you have the means to help, it would be much appreciated as the main thing we're worried about is a fridge to keep our food. As always, thank you so much for sharing, for donating, and for supporting us along this journey<br /><br />UPDATE #2: We've decided to up the goal to what would make us safe and secure for the next year as we stabilize (disability claims getting decisions, securing housing and transportation.) Thank you again to everyone who has helped us so far! It's thanks to you all that we are able to have a warm place to sleep and food to eat. Bless.

(picture is from the internet because the car is getting ready to be sent for scrap but this is the model we used to have)<br /><br />Hey guys.<br /><br />As of 1/6/2021 Our family experienced a hate crime. We are a family of black Latino immigrants, and a racist burned our car by pretending he was a mechanic. He fried everything on purpose, and as a result it's nothing but junk now. nothing can be done to fix it. It can only be sold for scrap.<br /><br />I'm the only one who's able to support my family in this pandemic because my parents are jobless, and now a racist has taken that from us. The only means of searching and going to jobs is gone. In a flash.<br /><br />We really need help getting a new car. We are unable to raise this much money on our own because of the pandemic (we are immunocompromised). We also did not receive any stimulus checks despite my dad being a citizen.<br /><br />The costs above are to be able to cover the basics of getting a car. Paperwork, initial costs, etc. <br /><br />Please help if you can. Thank you.

On Monday September 28, 2020, we lost our dearest Jaleel Harris at the age of 17. He was shot during a drive-by shooting that took place in East Oakland that is currently being investigated.<br /><br /> He was an amazing and beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew and cousin.<br />This has been a devastating loss for his family who never imagined having to<br />lay him to rest at such a young age. This is to assist his father with funeral<br />and burial expenses. Please keep our family in your prayers.

Funeral Expenses for Jaleel Harris

***OCT 2020 EDIT: I can't not thank enough everyone who has supported us in the past 5-6 months. Truly you all deserve the world and once everything gets back to normal; I hope to someday soon give back to you all in some way or fashion.<br />However, we still need to raise another 25K -- I've been straining myself to the point of not eating or sleeping just to make these payments towards the surgery bill, medical insurance, my mom's physical therapy recovery, and rent and food. Please share this where ever you can! I was able to reduce total costs with financial assistance from the hospital, churches, etc, promoted tweets on twitter, but it's still not enough. I need a final push. I want to be done with this and rest.<br /><br /><br />Hello Everyone. I hope you're all keeping safe, happy and healthy in these trying times. My name is Aly Grunder, and everything I do in life is tied to trying to make the world a more positive, happier, and safer place. Even within my dreams of being one of the youngest filmmakers in the film industry, social activism, etc, those principles remain to be my primary drive. In the end, I just want to help my family so they can continue living a comfortable life.<br /><br />Beside me and those principles is a woman who has worked extremely hard to get where she is. My mother and I are quite similar; the drive to help people and change things for the better. She became a nurse at a young age upon witnessing disgusting mistreatment of patients within the medical field. She wanted to be that change. On top of that, on her own, she has taken me and my sisters and raised us well, and set an example of greatness to strive for. <br /><br />And still. From time to time, we struggle. For the longest time, my mother has been the strongest support for our immediate family. She has worked for too long--30+ long years of physical, mental, and emotional strain. Over time as I grew up, I began to notice some of the physical problems that my mother began developing. And now it has escalated to this. She has developed a slipped/bulging disc at the base of her spine due to a herniation along with arthritis. <br /><br />In 2018, she was given a shot that would only temporarily quell the swelling of the herniation, along with undergoing a laminectomy procedure(cover photo is a photo of my mother after the successful procedure). However, as of recent, she is unable stand for extended periods of time without the lower half of her body going completely numb; rendering her being unable to walk at all, and since has been not working at all since April 2020. This is quite concerning as my younger sister, who recently turned 16, is still in school and still needs support as she graduates and eventually heads to college. Unfortunately, my mother will be needing another surgery, specifically Lumbar Spinal Fusion surgery; and even then, she won't be able to work for another 6 months after the procedure, which is scheduled a week or so from now.<br /><br />The GoFundMe goal is a rough estimation of a single-level posterior lumbar fusion and any other hospital bills that might be applicable as we haven't gotten an official quote on how much it will be; not including that my mom will most likely be getting a double/two-level fusion. And I really really hate asking for help, but even with all that I could do, I don't think I or my older sister could do enough as it'll be a fight to stay afloat, but if there is a chance to not be drowned in bills along with trying to sustain ourselves with all that's happening in the world right now, we could really use the support. <strong>I'm trying to avoid the reality of us not being able to pay necessities like rent and food which would result in us eventually becoming hungry and homeless. </strong>And even if we don't meet the goal, I will absolutely be forever grateful and relieved if we can get through this without any problems, and you can count on me giving back to you all and to the world in some way or form in the future! <br /><br />My mother means everything to me right now and that's all that's been on my mind right now; no donation is too small and literally everything helps no matter what, even sharing the link to this story.<br /><br />I will be giving periodical updates to this gofundme including the surgery date, photos and the quote/final bill for the surgery and hospital charges.

The community has been reaching out in support of Bree’s family and wanting to donate to the cause. First off, we are SO THANKFUL for EVERYONE standing up for justice and saying her name! We’re not stopping until we truly get justice! All of you are such a blessing! It’s amazing! <br /><br />Second of all, we are thankful for the offers for donations. My sister and niece are too proud to say it, but this is a tough fight and it does take a toll. They’re both hard workers and they’re missing out on some work (and sleep!) in this fight for justice.<br /><br />We do not expect anyone to donate to this cause; your voices are being heard and that alone is so powerful! But because of all the calls and the overwhelming generosity, I have set up this account for them. <br /><br />You all are a blessing. Thank you so much again for everything! And let’s keep this fight for justice going! <br /><br />#justiceforbre

This is David McAtee. Also known as “Yaya” &amp; the “BBQ man”.<br /><br />David McAtee was killed this morning in Louisville, Kentucky. <br /><br />He was a black restaurant owner in the community who was fatally shot by authorities around midnight on June 1st. As of 10:45 AM, his body was still lying in the streets. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/48462156_1591054540202314_r.jpeg" alt="48462156_1591054540202314_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />The National Guard had been deployed in Kentucky surrounding the protests, yet McAtee's death occurred at 26th and Broadway.... far far away from any of the protesting.  <br /><br />Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear had called on law enforcement to release the body cam footage of the shooting... but of course, their body cams were turned OFF. We should be absolutely horrified by this man's death and also by the fact that his body was left in the street for 12 hours after the shooting. <br /><br />There is no goal to reach and there is no dollar amount that will ever equal David's life, so this campaign will do everything in its power to secure as many relief funds as possible for the McAtee family. His mother also lost a daughter earlier this year.  <br /><br />As well as doing anything you can to donate to black-led organizations focused on ending police brutality, I urge you to give what you can to this cause. <br /><br /><br /><strong>FAQ: <br /></strong><br />Who are you? My name is Aida Osman. I'm a writer and community organizer. I have made direct contact with the McAtee family. <br /><br />Where is the money going? 100% of funds will be donated to the family to help funeral and memorial funds. As well as funding any legal action. The money is going to Odessa Riley, David McAtee's mother.

<div>Hi, I’m Alexa from Canada and I am raising funds for Youssef, a young man and his family displaced like so many others in Gaza due to the ongoing unthinkable conflict that has already raged on for far too long. Here’s his story:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Hello, my name is Youssef, and I am 20 years old. I come from Gaza, a place that has endured years of hardship, and life here has been incredibly challenging. Despite the constant struggles, I’ve always believed in the power of passion, determination, and hard work to change my future. Two years ago, after finishing high school, I dreamed of going to university to study and build a better life. Unfortunately, due to our family’s financial struggles, I wasn’t able to pursue that dream. Instead, I decided to follow a different path — one that could help me support myself and my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I discovered my love for barbering and began learning the craft. My family, which consists of 8 people, has always been my biggest motivation. I wanted to support them and give them a better future. However, just as I was beginning to build something meaningful, the situation in Gaza worsened. War erupted once again, and the impact on my life and my community was devastating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The conflict in Gaza has torn apart homes, families, and entire neighborhoods. We were forced to leave our home, displaced with nowhere to go. My job as a barber was lost, and the few tools I had were either damaged or destroyed in the chaos. Our lives became even harder. The power cuts, scarcity of basic supplies, and the constant threat of violence have made it almost impossible to maintain a normal life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite all this, I have never lost hope. I continue to believe that education and hard work can provide a path to a better future, not just for me, but for my family and my community. My dream is to continue my studies and eventually open my own barbershop — a place where I can support my family and provide stability for others in Gaza who have also been affected by the war. But the challenges are overwhelming, and I lack the financial means to make it happen on my own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why I’m reaching out for help today. I need your support to make my dreams a reality. With your assistance, I can:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. Enroll in University – I want to pursue my education and gain the knowledge I need to build a future for myself and my family. Education will allow me to grow my business and make a real difference in my community.
</div>
<div>2. Expand My Barbering Skills – I plan to improve my skills and become a better barber, eventually opening my own barbershop that will provide jobs and support others in my community.
</div>
<div>3. Help My Family – Your support would enable me to provide a better life for my family during these incredibly difficult times. We’ve already lost so much, but with your help, I can give them the stability and hope they deserve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how small, will bring me one step closer to achieving my goals and helping my family rebuild. The war has taken so much from us, but it hasn’t taken our hope. I am deeply grateful for any support you can offer, and I promise to keep working tirelessly to overcome these challenges.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story. With your help, I know I can rebuild my life, continue my education, and create opportunities for others in my community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can make a difference.“
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>thank you for reading about Youssef who is incredibly resilient and motivated even in the face of challenges that most of us can’t even fathom and will be lucky enough to never experience.
