🌙 Before this night slips away: choose “feed a family” or “care for an orphan”

Two Gaza projects. Two links. One sacred window. Please act now.

Tonight may be Laylatul Qadr (pronounced “LIE-lah-tool KAH-dr”)—the Night of Power. The Qur’an describes it as “better than a thousand months” (Qur’an 97:3). In plain English for everyone: Muslims believe this is one of the most sacred nights of the year, when acts of mercy and giving can echo far beyond this moment.

So I want to try something with you.

Not a long explanation. Not a guilt trip. A simple challenge.

A 3-minute Laylatul Qadr challenge.

Set a timer for three minutes. And in those three minutes, do two things:

1) Choose your act of mercy for Gaza tonight.
Pick one (or both) and move immediately:

Option A: Fund warm Iftar meals for families in Gaza (immediate impact tonight)
support the people of Gaza this Ramadan

Option B: Sponsor a newly orphaned child in Gaza (long-term stability for a child)
support orphans with Shaun

If you’re stuck, here’s the shortcut:

• Meals = “feed a family tonight.”

• Orphans = “carry a child for the long road.”

Meals again: support the people of Gaza this Ramadan
Orphans again: support orphans with Shaun

2) Bring three people with you.
Before your timer ends, send one quick text to three people you trust:

“Tonight may be Laylatul Qadr. Please pick one—meals or orphans—and do it tonight.”

That’s it.

Because here’s what I’ve learned the hard way: most people care. Most people mean well. Most people intend to help.

But intentions don’t deliver meals. And intentions don’t sponsor orphans.

Action does.

A few things I always keep crystal clear:

• Donations are tax-deductible where applicable (you’ll receive a receipt through the platform/charity).

• This giving is Zakat-eligible / Zakat-verified.

• And I do not receive a percentage or a single penny from either campaign—I take $0.

Family, Gaza doesn’t need perfect words tonight. Gaza needs food. Gaza needs stability. Gaza needs us to be the kind of people who don’t just feel mercy—we move it.

Love and appreciate each of you.
