21st Night Request: Gaza Emergency Relief | Hot Meals, Medicine/Medical Procedures & Shelters | Zakat-Eligible & Tax-Deductible
as'salaamu alaykum,
With the increased violence in Gaza, we've updated this campaign to provide emergency relief in addition to the shelters. We will be providing hot meals, medicines and medical procedures, and shelter as part of the emergency assistance. The giving levels on the launchgood indicate where you can contribute towards. On this 21st night of Ramadan, please do give what you can and keep our sisters and brothers in your prayers.
Please make a zakat-eligible/tax-deductible contribution at launchgood.com/Homes4Gaza today to help us support in their time of need. We are keeping the links the same but have added giving levels to meet the immediate needs as well. If you would like to contribute through a different method of contribution, ie DAF, check, wire transfer, etc. please let me know and we'll coordinate details on it. The text below includes the initial language from our campaign for shelters.

We have all seen the devastation that Gaza has endured, leaving hundreds of thousands displaced and without any shelter. Families in Gaza have lost everything, and while rebuilding will take years, living in tents is not a viable option for survival.
We're partnering with Human Appeal and have started a campaign at launchgood.com/Homes4Gaza to help provide shelter with dignity to our sisters and brothers in their time of need. All contributions are tax-deductible and zakat-eligible and will go a long way in assisting so many in their time of need.

The cost for one mobile shelter is only $5,430. This will provide a family in need in Gaza with a secure, insulated temporary home that offers protection from harsh weather. These shelters come with:
- sturdy walls
- a kitchen
- bathroom
- strong doors
- windows
- electricity
Most importantly they ensure safety and dignity. Human Appeal has already placed many families in these homes, but many more are still waiting. Help us give a family a safe place to call home this Ramadan.
