Mutual aid for Palestinian artists in Gaza!
This video is a poem written by Palestinian poet @mariampoetry and sung by the amazing Gazan singer Reem from Gaza. The video is taken by Mahmoud Shamia of the destruction from the past year throughout Gaza.
My friend Mariam is fundraising again for many different Gazan artists and their families, including Reem's, and wanted to ask for your help in gathering $8,000 to help support them this coming winter.
After a year of daily massacres, so many Palestinians in Gaza are feeling hopeless and let down by humanity. But Mariam decided to do something and I hope you can help with her mission!
So many of her friends have left their homes in a hurry leaving everything they own behind. They're lacking basic necessities with most people becoming displaced more than ten different times. And with winter on the horizon, they need warm clothes and blankets, to help them weather the long, cold nights, and womens' hygiene kits all of which are incredibly scarce and expensive.
Mariam has asked me to help with her efforts to collect funds for 8 of her friends and their families. We are hoping to send $1000 for each family to help them prepare for the harsh winter in tents amidst constant bombings.
Please help her out by sending money to her paypal @/miriampoet
As always, I will be updating you with funds collected every few days. We are setting the goal for $8,000 dollars. Any amount sent will help a Gazan family through this extraordinarily tough time.
Go to paypal.me/miriampoet and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
Thank you @fairuzfan for posting and thanks to everyone who support us in this noble cause❤️
As a reminder, Mariam is someone I know IRL and am in constant contact with. She provides me regular updates and information that I'll relay to everyone here.
We raised our FIRST $1000 which we will be sending to Reem from Gaza! Thank you so so much everyone for your continued support. Can we reach another $1000 for another artist family in Gaza by Saturday?
