6-year-old Joan Al-Habil is has been repeatedly hospitalized due to severe gastrointestinal problems and overwhelming fatigue. This poor girl has been to multiple facilities and seen multiple doctors, undergone extensive testing (as extensive as is possible in Gaza's collapsed medical system), even having to endure an unsedated endoscopy.
She has now been diagnosed with severe gastritis due to starvation and hazardous living conditions. Remember, she and her family are living on the streets, which are cold and wet due to winter rain. Homelessness, stress, exposure to the elements, her previous injury when the lOF firebombed her tent, and malnutrition all conspire to sap little Joan of her strength.
Her condition is so serious that she even had to undergo surgery. Gastritis very rarely requires surgery to treat, so this is an indication of how dire her condition is. The surgery was successful to a degree, but she is going to need ongoing treatment to manage her symptoms.
The treatments are administered weekly and cost $500 USD (just under €500 EUR). Her family has no income and cannot afford this. If Joan goes more than a few days without treatment, her symptoms worsen rapidly, and she sometimes has to be hospitalized. It is vital that we help her family procure her treatments so that her condition does not worsen!

FEBRUARY DESKTOP WALLPAPERS
January passed by in a blur (at least for me - I’m currently in the middle of finals season, I haven’t done anything but study for the last month and a half), hope everyone’s year started off well x Since you especially liked the floral design last month, it’s all about florals this time!
This month’s designs are:
minimalist floral
minimalist floral 2.0
floral maxi
floral inverted
study girl & study boy
quote of the month: you gotta nourish to flourish (→ in Quotes folder)
I’ve included both Monday and Sunday start calendars, and there are multiple pastel colors available: lilac, pink, blue, and vintage coffee.
✎ LIKE/REBLOG if you like and/or use the wallpapers so more people can see them :)
Do tag me in your posts if you post pics of them (#bulletnotestudies), I love seeing how they look on your laptop/tablet :) And if you have requests for March, let me know - new designs, designs you want to see again, new color schemes, any holidays you celebrate, all wishes are welcome!
and lastly: Please don’t repost these or claim as your own, as I did spend quite a lot of time designing them despite also having hardcore exams going on
