On the way to the shop today I heard that somebody had purchased the shoes of Judy Garland from the Wizard of Oz for 28 million dollars. Recently some rich fool bought a piece of art that involved a banana duct taped to a wall for 6.2 million. While some in this world live through horrors that most of us can’t imagine and have so little, others live with so much money and so little humanity. The disparity between those that have and those that don’t is increasingly obscene.

 

Oday told me that there is much talk in Gaza at the moment of border crossings possibly opening up before the 20th January. If that happens his mission will be to get his family to safety. Now Oday’s GoFundMe Account is his family’s only source of income and Oday is also hoping to raise money to assist with evacuations.

 

If you can help at all, no donation too small, it would make such a difference to people who are in such dire need.

 

Oday is my friend. At 21, he is the sole provider for his beloved family in Gaza and needs our help. Every day is a struggle for survival for his family.

 

To help Oday and his family please see below:
