The world has declared that Israel is committing genocide

137. Many of us have a hard time going to sleep at night

Thinking of all the horrific suffering of the kids of Gaza. So many sad images of injured kids are on our phones each day - it’s hard not to be sad when you see images of babies not yet old enough to take their first steps with amputated legs, kids severely burned, a little 5 yr old girl crying looking at her amputated arm, little boys with no legs saying they had planned to be athletes, blind kids, etc

When I was younger, I worked at Carrie Tingley children’s ortho hospital in Albuquerque . At one point, we had two teen boys who both lost both legs from jumping trains. Both were so sad telling me girls were not interested in them any more. Our lives are hard enough, can you imagine starting out your life with no legs. Anytime I get sad, I remind myself stuff like - I have my legs, I’m not in a hospital - but I feel an all over sadness for these children who if they live will have very difficult lives. Many have been the only survivor in their family. Severely injured with no family - it’s so cruel.
