Conversations with Oday
This week Oday’s sister Ameera returned to her home with her young son to see if any of their belongings remained to prepare for winter. Returning home means risking indiscriminate bombing, shelling and sniper attacks. A return home also means facing the destruction of nothing left. It is heart breaking beyond words.
Oday prays that the war will end and that his family will be safe.
Oday is my young Palestinian friend, and I am trying to help him keep his family alive. Any donation makes a difference, no matter how small. I met @oday_aburaida through @projectlovebrocade, a worldwide initiative amplifying the voices of the people of Palestine.
Any money raised assists Oday's family with the basics that in Gaza mean the difference between life and death. Shelter. Food. Water. Medicine.
There are many ways you can help Oday:
The best way is to donate directly to his GoFundMe Account:
Oday's beautiful sister Ameera is on Instagram @ameeraida995 and her fundraising link is https://spot.fund/m734llsc
Any funds raised for Oday go to help his entire family, Ameera included, but I include her here so you can follow her and so she knows she is not alone.
I have an ebook version of a small poetry collection called Poems of Palestine:
I am selling Flower Inspiration Cards:
You can follow Oday's relief project on Instagram: @gap_gaza
This project has already made two life-saving deliveries of water to Northen Gaza. This project is incredible considering what Oday and his family are dealing with and the fact they are still trying to help others.
You can donate directly to this relief project
