There is no flour left in Gaza. No food deliveries. Aid workers are being slaughtered and then buried. There was a missile strike on an UNRWA medical facility in the Jabalia refugee camp killing at lest 22 people, most of whom were women and children. A man held up the headless body of his 3-month old daughter in an attempt to get the world to listen.
Can you imagine living in a world where your only remaining option of survival was broadcasting your most desperate moments?
The first thing I do every morning is to see if there is any news from Oday. So I can’t imagine how Oday even sleeps when the only thing he is focusing on is if his family survived another god-awful brutal night in Gaza.
Oday is my friend, and his family needs our help as they are currently in the most desperate fight for survival. At 22 years of age, my friend Oday shoulders the heavy responsibility of being the sole financial supporter of his beloved family in Gaza.
To help Oday and his family the best way is to donate directly to Oday’s GoFundMe Account which supports his whole family and is their only means of support:
You can also help Oday’s sister and nephew Ameera and Amir directly here:

You can also donate to me at the shop.
Please help.
Thank you,
