Aster climbs out of the frying pan and into the fire (hehe).

Forgot to schedule this update in advance because I fell asleep but here it is now! Hope y’all are having a wonderful week, and if you’re in the U.S., enjoy your upcoming long weekend! I’m gonna be having dinner with some friends in town, what are y’all doing?

This week’s fundraisers are down below!

Restore Hope and Future for My family in Gaza

Rami Khaleel (currently based in the U.S.) is trying to evacuate his family of 17 (four separate families) from Gaza. They are all currently homeless and sheltering in tents. Several members have chronic health conditions (BIL with abdominal injury from sniper shot and two children who are injured/have Hepatitis A, mother with chronic health issues and dietary restrictions), so they need all the help they can get!

Help Deema’s Family from Gaza Get Their Life Back/Deema’s Family Evacuated Gaza Safely to Egypt

Eman Qeshta is helping his Gazan friend, Deema, and her family. They have managed to evacuate out of Gaza to Egypt, but still require funds to help get them back on their feet. It’s important to remember that Gazan refugees will need ongoing support post-evacuation as well, so please consider donating to these kinds of fundraisers as well!

These fundraisers are vetted by the grassroots organization Operation Olive Branch. If you’d like to search for a fundraiser yourself on their site, here is the link.
