Thank you so much for all your support!

Dear friends, 

We want to thank you for your immense generosity and big hearts in showing up so fully to support our friends from Gaza and their families. Ahmed, Mohammad, Yaaquob, and Bilal received the funds and were able to get the money home to family inside Gaza as well as use some funds for their ongoing healing from severe wounds. They send their deep gratitude to you all. 

Ahmed wrote, “Thanks to you and donors for helping me and the rest of my family and because of the invasion of Rafah, the transfer of money to Gaza has become a bit difficult, but I am finding a way to send money to Gaza. I hope to be at your good faith and I have confidence in you and your friends for the great effort you are making to support us and help us. All respect and appreciation.” 

Together as a community of 50 donors we raised $3,600! As you may know, in Judaism 36 is a sacred number — signifying double life — and it is pretty amazing that the funds received worked out to be exactly this much. May this funding help support the lives of these men and their families, and be a prayer that all families can be safe, nourished, and have what they need in Gaza and throughout Palestine… and around the world.  

Please keep up your prayers, your actions, your advocacy and calls to elected officials for a permanent ceasefire and freedom, justice, and equality for Palestinian people. Together we are stronger than fear and oppression; together there is no othering, only belonging.   

with much love,

Rae and Ahlam 


PS from Rae: i’m helping launch a new feature film documentary on Palestine – Where Olive Trees Weep – premiering now through June 27. The film is a beautiful, poignant, heartbreaking look into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation, through the eyes of Ashira Darwish, Ahed Tamimi, Amira Hass, and Dr. Gabor Maté. You can watch online or find a screening near you, plus check out 21 days of daily live panel discussions (every day at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern) including one i’m holding space for on June 27 called “Imagining Otherwise: Daring to Dream of a Just and Thriving Palestine.” You can watch the film trailer and sign up (for free or donation to plant an olive tree, as you wish) at www.whereolivetreesweep.com
