ALT alt text: "painting my cat in my sketchbook #3 today i'd like to update you on my friend, Yousra, who i painted last week. Yousra is receiving cancer treatment in the West Bank. if you, or a loved one, has been treated for cancer, then you know it is a painful and overwhelming experience. although Yousra was allowed to leave Gaza for the West Bank, her adult children were not granted the same right, and her husband is too sick to travel. she has been utterly alone for several years. meanwhile, Yousra is forced to watch her family suffering under apartheid and genocide in Gaza. her sons, who used to help pay for their mother's treatment, can hardly afford to feed themselves and their children. that's why Yousra's family asked me to start a fundraiser for her bills. so far, we've raised $55 total, for Yousra to split between her expenses, and her kids' families. all transfers will be logged on her campaign. if you like my art, tip me by donating to Yousra! please give anything you can!"
