I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Shereen. Shereen and her husband (a house painter) fled their home early in the war thinking it would only be for 2 days. She lost everything as well as many family members. Her main concern is getting her son, Ahmed, 4 into a kindergarten.

Please help Khaled and his family by donating and/or sharing. They’ve had no donations in almost a week. Our friends in Gaza are still in need of our financial support as aid is being limited and crossing are closed. This so called ceasefire is bringing scant relief.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Reham. Reham is the primary caregiver for her 3 children Joan, 7, Emad, 6 and Kenan, 4. Her husband has a chronic illness and unfortunately cannot help much. They recently were able to return to their home but found it completely destroyed.
