orange peels in tea leaves 
leaving your lover for a while 
coming back disastrously 
teaching someone how to talk to you 
buying bananas for everyone 
even that woman you dislike

Help an Elderly man in Gaza | Chuffed | Non-profit charity and social enterprise fundraising

I am Ali from Gaza, an elderly man, 74 years old, a cancer patient receiving treatment, and my wife has a heart condition. We lost everything here in Gaza, and nothing remains. My home, the home I built my entire life, was completely destroyed. I am exhausted and unable to do anything. I ask you to help me with the rest of my life so that I can live in peace. I have six children, two of whom are missing. I ask you to help me by donating to my fundraising campaign and spreading the word so that I can live the rest of my life with dignity. I cannot satisfy my hunger, nor can I afford the costs of living and treatment.
