Conversations with Oday
A horror week in the world and when talking to Oday I am at a loss at what to say as it all feels so painfully inadequate. I was able to make a small donation yesterday which as usual feels like a drop in the ocean. Oday sent me a beautiful message of thanks and all I could say was sorry. Sorry for what you and your family are going through.
His response made me cry. The hope and the humanity. How completely humbling. Especially when he is living in a world seemingly devoid of humanity.
Oday is my friend. If you can help at all, I would be forever grateful. He is trying to keep his family alive. 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.
There are many ways you can help Oday and his family.
The best way is to donate directly to his GoFundMe Account:
Oday's beautiful sister Ameera and young son are on Instagram @ameeraida995 and her fundraising link is https://spot.fund/m734llsc
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 and is currently working on a delivery of meals.
You can donate directly to this relief project
Thank you,

Beauty, hope, joy, & inspiration
