Conversations with Oday

Words by Oday – follow on IG @oday.7gaza

 

The first thing I did when I woke up this morning was check my phone and send Oday a message.  

 

I have no desire to talk about the genocidal entity that has caused so much death and destruction nor talk about the illegal ongoing brutal occupation. I do know that Gaza has shown the world, that even with the backing of the most ‘powerful’, Israel and their backers are no match for the will of the Palestinian People.

 

What happens next, time will tell, regardless it is not over until the occupation is over and the Palestinians are able to live in their homes without fear. Right now, I just want to share a skerrick of the feelings that he and his family must be feeling. Oday would have to be the most hopeful person I know and hope for me, is the most sacred of emotions.

 

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. His dream is to help them evacuate or help them rebuild. It is their decision to make, not ours and they will need help for a very long time.  

 

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

 

To help Oday and his family the best way is to donate directly to their fundraising accounts:

 

You can donate directly to Oday’s GoFundMe Account which supports his whole family

 

You can donate directly to Oday’s sister Ameera to support her and her young son, Oday’s nephew Amir. Follow on IG: @ameeraaida995

 

You can donate to me at the shop.

The smallest donation for us, can make the biggest difference to Oday and his family.

 

Thank you,

xxxLara

Beauty, hope, joy, & inspiration
