It’s hard to imagine how things in Gaza can keep getting more dire, but every week feels worse than the last. If you haven’t yet adopted a single campaign to uplift and amplify daily, please reach out. I will connect you with someone in Gaza who could use your voice.

Urgent needs:

Mahamoud’s wife Laila is due to have a c-section on Thursday of this week. She is 2 weeks overdue, and her baby is 1.5 kg. (3 lbs.). Their GFM was revoked, and his beneficiary has created a new campaign on chuffed. This little baby will come into the world suffering from malnutrition and they need all the help they can get to provide formula.
Eslam is a woman I’ve been talking with regularly since maybe March or April. She went through years of IVF treatments to have her only son, Khader. He is now 9 years old, and over these many months has been the subject of hundreds of videos begging for help. He has figured out how to make his mom (and me) laugh regularly despite everything. (here are two of my favorites) In the last week, he was playing with friends in a refugee camp and a drone flew in and targeted them. One of his friends was martyred and he was shot in the neck. He’s ok, it went straight through and didn’t damage any bones or organs. But the terror, pain, and exhaustion they feel is immense. Now there are medical bills on top of it all. Help them if you can.

Raffles, and other online fundraisers:

This is the link to my print-on-demand store. All designs are mine, and all proceeds (20%) get donated to families in Palestine. It’s a wonderful place to get hats, shirts, tote bags, and notebooks, with some pretty fun designs.
