12. The kids in Gaza are always on my mind

My gum was infected and I think - at least I have my arms and legs. When I was younger, I worked in a kids ortho hospital with kids with paralyzed bodies and no limbs. Some of those kids were there for months so I grew attached to them almost like a mama substitute if parents weren’t around.

Now we have over six thousand children in Gaza with no limbs. These kids need physical therapy and prosthetics. Our country should be compassionate

I think we can worry about our health and the health and wellbeing of others at the same time.

Hope your texts are negative.

aza has the biggest amputee ratio; it is like 100 times more than any other place in entire world, all caused by the IDF deliberately
