Update 8/13: Winners have been emailed! $11,070 has been successfully transferred to the Mezher family with the help of Wesam's chuffed campaign manager over PayPal. Thank you all so much for your incredible generosity <3

We’re hosting a second raffle fundraiser for the Mezher family in Gaza in honor of their son Wesam’s 17th birthday (on July 29th!). Along with every Gazan, this family of seven has been enduring forced starvation by the US and Israel, and they are in dire need of our support. 100% of proceeds will go to the family’s needs for food, water, and medication. You can read more about the family’s journey and donate directly on their son Wesam’s chuffed page here: https://www.chuffed.org/project/111490-help-wesams-family-rebuild-their-home.

Each ticket is $5, and you can enter as many times as you want, for as many prizes as you want. This fundraiser will run from Monday July 21st to Friday August 1st at 11:45pm EST. Once it ends, all $ raised will be transferred to either the family’s Chuffed page or another platform of their choosing.
