🌙🍞 6 Days Until Ramadan—and Families in Gaza Are Still Hungry. Tonight YOU Can Make a Real Difference, OK?
We need warm iftar meals ready from Day 1—please help us surge right now.
Ramadan begins in six days.
And I need you to understand what that actually means for families in Gaza.
It means the month of mercy is arriving in a place where mercy has been denied for over two years. It means parents will hear the call to prayer, which signals it’s time to break their fast, and have to decide which child eats and which child doesn’t. It means elders will break their fast with whatever can be found—sometimes bread, sometimes a sip of water, sometimes nothing at all.
And I’m not writing this for drama.
I’m writing this because if we’re going to do this right, the hardest work happens before Ramadan even begins.
Food has to be purchased. Prepared. Positioned. Ready. Because once the month starts, the needs don’t pause—they multiply. If we wait until the first day of Ramadan to “start,” we’ve already failed families who need warm meals from the very beginning.
Right now, because of your mercy, we’ve raised $86,445 from 909 supporters for warm iftar meals for Gaza.
That is real momentum. I’m proud of it. And I’m grateful for every donor—whether you gave $5 or $5,000. I mean that.
But with six days left, we need a final surge.
And here’s the truth about how we get there. It’s always been this way. It’s never one kind of donor.
Some of you can do something big right now—$10,000, $5,000, $1,000, $500—and if you can, I’m asking you to step forward. Those gifts don’t just “help.” They stock entire kitchens. They cover huge portions of the first days of iftar. They keep families from going to sleep hungry during the holiest month of the year.
Others can do $5, $25, $50, $100—and I want you to hear me clearly: those gifts are not small. They are not insignificant. They are not “less than.” When thousands of people do what they can, it becomes the difference between a warm meal and an empty bowl.
This fundraiser is:
Zakat-verified
tax deductible
and 100% of what you give goes directly to this cause
I do not receive a percentage of what you donate. Not 30%, not 20%, not 1%. Never. This is about one thing: getting warm iftar meals to families in Gaza.
So here’s what I’m asking you to do today—straight up:
Please donate right now to provide warm iftar meals for Gaza this Ramadan.
And if you truly can’t donate, please do the second most powerful thing you can do: share this with three people who love mercy, who love justice, who want their Ramadan to mean something in the real world.
Six days.
That’s not a lot of time. But it’s enough time for a community that refuses to look away.
Let’s make sure that when the first Maghrib of Ramadan arrives, families in Gaza have warm food ready—not just prayers in our mouths.
Please give what you can right now.
Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
Thank you all.
