Conversations with Oday.
“They were stranded and resorted to sleeping on the beach, where the occupation forces surrounded them from behind with their land incursions and from the front with naval battleships. Where do we go???”
My friend Oday is the sole supporter of his family who are unable to leave Gaza, and are now trapped there, fighting for their survival.
I met @oday_aburaida through @projectlovebrocade, a worldwide initiative amplifying the voices of the people of Palestine. We were matched due to our mutual love of photography. Oday was studying photography and graphic design when the 6-day war started in 2022 and he had to abandon his studies to support his family.
I am trying to help Oday raise funds for his family through various different fundraising options as follows:
Firstly the best way to help Oday is to donate directly to his verified GoFundMe Page - this is now one of the only ways to get funds to the people of Gaza.
His link is here: https://gofund.me/19dbdd50
Secondly, I have an ebook version of a small poetry collection called Poems of Palestine. $15 from every sale goes directly to Oday.
Finally, I am selling Flower Inspiration Cards in-store and online - $3.00 from every card sold goes to Oday and his family.
If you can assist, thank you
