Your mother in law is so cute! She reminds me of my mom!
Have mercy on us may God have mercy on you appeal only out of hunger and poverty, O scholar, be well in our skin. 😭😢😭😢😢I asked you, by God, to save us before we die of extreme hunger. I asked you to enter. on God. On you, I am facing you, I am your sister, I beg you, I beg you, save us for the love of GodGod is my witness, my brother, that from morning until now we are forbidden to ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' I swear to God on the book of God that I will not lie to you, nor set you up, nor cheat you. I am a Yemeni girl from Yemen, displaced from my family and I. Between us is a house of 20 thousand Yemeni riyals, and now we owe 60 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By God, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants us to go out to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and they went back to talk to the neighbors and we have not paid him until the end of the week. I swear to God, this will put us out to the street. May God have mercy on us. Our country is suffering because of this war and we cannot find our daily sustenance and we live, my mother and my brothers are traveling, our father passed away, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world to be with us in these harsh circumstances. My little brothers went out to the street and saw the neighbors eating and stopped at their door to give them even a piece of bread. By God, who owns the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and threw them out and they came back crying, dying of hunger. No one had mercy on them and the holiday was returned so I could live. Now, if one of us does not help us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God that we will die of hunger. Oh brother, I seek refuge in God and then in you and I want your help for the sake of God. I ask you by God, do you love good and help me even with 60,, thousand Yemeni riyals for renting the house, or as much as you can afford.? Send me a WhatsApp message on this number +967-715323061 and ask for my card name and send it and do not delay and God will compensate you with all good. My little brothers, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out into the street. You will be humiliated or die of hunger. My family and I ask you by God, if you are able to help us, do not delay in helping us. May God reward you.°÷π÷π÷÷π`π^~_~÷`÷`π÷~_π`÷~ππ°~÷~π~π~÷~π~ππ~π…….،.، ……،.،..،.،..،.،.،..،.،..،.،.،.،…………..,.,..,.,🕋🕋.,.,..,😭😭💔.,.,..,.°•○●□■◇♧▪︎¡°°■■••□□○○●●♧☪️💔💔♧▪︎▪︎◇◇¡¡.،.،.،.،.،.🕋|💔•😭|😭|🕋🕋|🕋.،..,..,.,,.,.,..,.,.,..,.,.,.,……………………,.,.،

I really need to learn about my European history because I had no idea this place even existed or the history behind it. I guess I'm falling down that rabbit hole now because I love history.

DREW REAL FANS ARE YOU HERE ?! 💖✨
Transnistria has been my favorite place so far- did it in 2018 and stayed with my friend’s family who ended up winning the Green card lottery in 2019 and is in the US now. Absolutely loved it!
Maybe Abkhazia next?
OOF
Man in the High Castle vibes in the movie theatre!!
What do you mean you went to Israel, that’s not Israel
🐐 🙏
Nice video

Isn’t there already a video that’s very very similar to this from drew?
Walking through Transnistria made me wonder — what does it really mean to be a country? If a place has its own government, flag, currency, passport and culture, but no one officially acknowledges it… does it still count? Sure maybe they don’t have international recognition – but more than 300,000 people live there and that might be all it takes to be considered “a country.” I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!!
