🇵🇸 Brand New! I could not wait to show you this...
Together - let's fully fund this emergency healthcare clinic in Gaza
Hello From Brooklyn,
First off, thank you so much to the 22,101 of you that fully funded our Ramadan meals program for Gaza!!! We surpassed our goal and our meal program is firing on all cylinders day in and day out. This absolutely could not happen without you. When I was banned from Instagram, this is the type of stuff they thought it would stop, but we were actually the NUMBER ONE FUNDRAISER IN THE WORLD during the past 2 weeks. I could hardly believe it.
So now, I want to share something brand new with you that is just so amazing. I even sent men and women from Gaza to go see it for themselves and everyone came back with complete confidence that this new project in Gaza needs to be fully funded and supported.
As I am sure you know, the entire healthcare system in Gaza has been systematically decimated. Almost every single hospital and doctor’s office that were previously tasked with serving over 2 million Palestinians have been destroyed. This would be catastrophic even if bombs and missiles were not being dropped on Gaza 24 hours a day, but a staggering 45,000 bombs have been dropped on Palestinains in the past 6 months alone. We’ve never seen anything like this genocide in our lifetime.
The award-winning charities Human Concern International and Med Global have told me that it will cost at least $1 million to fully fund, stock, and staff this clinic for ONE YEAR. So guess what? That’s exactly what we are going to raise, OK?
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinans are now injured or ill, over 100,000 Palestinian women are currently pregnant, and the healthcare system has buckled under the pressure of this awful genocide. And the violence continues to create scores of new victims as we speak.
Clinics and hospitals have become ruins, leaving doctors to perform life-saving surgeries on the floor - most often without the anesthesia and tools that are actually needed.
HCI Clinic :: What does it offer?
HCI's Clinic provides primary care, pediatrics, maternal health, wound care, and acute trauma stabilization services during the afternoon shift at the PHC.
HCI’s Rafah Clinic in Tul Sultan has continued its operations and has tended to 23,859 different patients. On average, the PHC is attending to 625 patients daily, but on some days it’s over 800 patients.
The PHC is equipped with 15 outpatient beds, seven emergency beds, one portable ultrasound machine, and a laboratory for blood testing.
As always, your donation goes directly to the charity HCI and is both tax-deductible, and if you are a Muslim, it is Zakat-certified. It is also fully verified by the platform, LaunchGood - with their guarantees for donors.
Please, please, please consider making your best donation TODAY by clicking here.
My plan is to do this in 3 phases.
After we fully fund this clinic in Rafah…
I’ve been asked to help build and staff a brand new maternity ward.
After we do that we will build and staff what’s called a “stabilization unit.” I wish I didn’t even have to say this, but these units will be where starving and malnourished children will be brought to nurse them back to health.
Let’s do this!!! Please give here today.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
