For Gaza's Children | Heading Out Tonight To Help Provide Critical Medical Treatments, Food & More | Help Us Save As Many Lives As Possible

1 year ago

as'salaamu alaykum,

Of the more than 30,000 people killed in Gaza in these last few months, upwards of 70% are estimated to be women and children. There are so many more who have been left without food, medicine, and critical treatments needed to help them survive. As you read this, I'm en route to visit children from Gaza who have been evacuated with urgent medical needs to Turkey. These are young boys and girls, many of whom are babies, who have lost limbs, eyes, need prosthetics, critical surgeries and more. They and their remaining family members with them are also in need of food and other supplies. Our Islamic Center at NYU is launching a campaign tonight at LaunchGood.com/HelpGazasChildren that will run through Ramadan and will provide food, medication, therapy, surgeries and other critical treatments, shelter, and more to our little brothers and sisters from Gaza and their families inshallah. We will be working with Human Concern International and are hoping to help as many as possible.

Please give what you can by making a zakat-eligible/tax-deductible contribution today at LaunchGood.com/HelpGazasChildren and sharing the link with others to encourage them to give as well.

I know it's a constant concern for many of us as to whether aid is actually reaching those who are in need of it. This is why I'm personally going to meet with these children and their families. I'm asking each of you to give what you can so that we can help as many as possible. All contributions to this campaign are zakat-eligible and tax-deductible. Please do give what you can - it will go a long way in helping out so many inshallah.
