Join us Tuesday, July 16th for an evening immersed in Palestinian culture to help us raise funds for those struggling in Gaza. Together, we will celebrate the basis on which Palestinian existence and resilience are built.
The full cost of your ticket sale will go directly to people in Gaza who are struggling to survive. To have a meaningful impact, we are focusing our efforts on three specific families – see their stories below:
1) Horieh is my cousin whom we have been raising funds for for the last few months. With a combination of her resilience and the support of friends and family, she was able to flee the war and is currently in Egypt. However, her husband was sadly left behind and is facing horrific conditions as food has become extremely scarce and expensive. Our funding for her will allow her to continue to support herself alone in Egypt and save with the hope of evacuation for her husband.
2) Meet Amal and her two beautiful children. Amal’s son has Autism Spectrum Disorder. They have moved over eight times during this war and life has become extremely difficult, especially for her son who has many everyday challenges. Funds will support them directly for food and daily necessities.
3) Haifa is a 20-year-old graphic designer from Gaza whose family has lost their home, pets, and many of their possessions due to the ongoing genocide. Haifa (20), her mother Nadia (43), her father Bassam (45), & her brothers, Nashat (23) & Nader (16), are currently in Rafah without funds or resources to keep them fed safe. They are all terrified and need our collective help to stay safe & hopefully evacuate to Egypt (which costs $5,000 to $7,000 per person at the border).While this is a deeply somber time, we hope this event will be a fun and educational evening celebrating the culture of Palestine.
Enjoy getting a henna tattoo, delicious Palestinian food, a cocktail or a mint lemonade. There will be a small dance performance with traditional dresses, stories, and poetry.
There will also be a few raffles for some incredible art pieces!
