⏳ 10 Hours to Sponsor as Many Orphaned Children in Gaza as We Can! Winner gets $15,000 prize for the children!
Together let's do this!! Thank you each so very much.
Family,
We are now in the last 10 hours of this 24-hour push for the orphans of Gaza.
Right now, as I write you this, 1,301 orphaned children in Gaza are sponsored through our campaign with Human Concern International.
That number moves me. It really does.
But I also know what it represents: in a sea of tens of thousands of newly orphaned kids, it means 1,301 of them are now inside a program that will help feed them, house them, keep them in school, and give them some kind of stability for the next five years.
I don’t want to stop there.
If you’ve been watching this unfold and haven’t taken the step yet, I’m asking you to do it before midnight:
👉🏽 Click here to sponsor an orphaned child in Gaza with me.
What we’re doing in these 10 hours
LaunchGood set up this as a 24-hour challenge:
The charity that sponsors the most orphans in this window will receive an extra $15,000 for their project.
I want that extra $15,000 to go straight into this long-term orphan program we’re building with Human Concern International.
Here’s what it means to sponsor an orphan through this campaign:
$99/month
A 5-year commitment, from now until 2029
It’s not “click once and feel better.” It’s a serious, sustained commitment that says to a child in Gaza who has lost their parents:
“You are not alone. For the next five years, I’m going to help carry you.”
If you can, I’m asking you to sponsor at least one orphan right now:
👉🏽 Sponsor an orphan in Gaza here.
If Allah has blessed you with more, sponsor two, three, or more. Some of you have that capacity, and you know it.
Muslims, non-Muslims — this door is open to everyone
For my Muslim sisters and brothers:
This campaign is Zakat-eligible.
If you still have Zakat or sadaqah to give, this is one of the most powerful ways you can use it right now: to stand next to an orphaned child in the single deadliest place for children in our lifetime.Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was an orphan. Our tradition is crystal clear about the reward for those who care for orphaned children in this life and in Jannah.
For those who are not Muslim:
Your love and generosity are just as welcome and just as needed.
Your sponsorship is tax-deductible in both the United States and Canada.
At the core, this is about something we all understand: a child who has lost everything, and the rest of us deciding whether we’re going to step in or look away.
Whatever your faith or background, if your heart leans toward these kids at all, follow that.

Why I am comfortable asking you to trust this
I know there is so much noise, slander, and confusion around charity and fundraising online. Let me say this part again, clearly:
100% of what you give goes directly to Human Concern International (HCI), not to me.
I have helped route nearly $4 million in direct aid for Gaza through HCI.
HCI is one of the oldest Muslim charities in North America, properly registered and regulated. Its Executive Director, Mahmuda, is a devout, brilliant Muslim woman I know personally and deeply trust.
I serve as an Ambassador for this work. I do not receive a percentage of the funds raised. I do not have access to the bank accounts for this campaign or any others.
My role is to put the truth in front of you and connect you to a vehicle I believe in.
If trust has been the thing holding you back, I’m asking you to act on what I’m telling you now.
👉🏽 Sponsor an orphan now if you haven’t already.
If you’re already part of the 1,301
If you’re one of the people who has already sponsored a child or given what you can: I love you, and I’m so grateful for you.
In these final 10 hours, you can still make a huge impact by:
Sponsoring one more orphan if you’re able, or
Increasing your monthly amount even a little, or
Sharing this link with three people you trust — your family chat, your masjid or church group, your coworkers, your social media.
Tell them plainly:
“If you want to do one concrete thing for Gaza today, sponsor an orphan through this link.”
Here it is:
👉🏽 Support orphans in Gaza with HCI and Shaun.
We’re at 1,301 orphaned children sponsored right now.
In 10 hours, that number will be the story we take with us into the next five years. I’m praying, and working, for that story to be as big and as beautiful as possible.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. And thank you to every single one of you who decides today that another child in Gaza will not be forgotten.
Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
Thank you so much Shaun for continuing to draw attention to Gaza, and especially the orphans. Those poor kids have endured so much and now on their own.
And the worse part is: it’s not over yet. Jazaka Allahu Kheyran.
