🕯️ Don’t wait for Ramadan to start. The food has to be secured first. Please chip in with us TODAY!
We crossed $100K. Help us reach $150K in 4 days to lock in nightly meals in Gaza.
We crossed $100,000 yesterday.
Not because the problem is solved.
Not because Gaza is suddenly safe.
We crossed $100,000 because you refused to let Ramadan arrive with empty pots.
Right now, the campaign is at $100,902 with 1,062 supporters. Thank you. Seriously.
Now I need you to hear me: the next $49,098 is the difference between “some nights” and “every night.”
Ramadan begins this week.
And in Gaza it’s a countdown to whether families will have warm Iftar meals when the sun drops.
If you can give right now, please donate here: support the people of Gaza this Ramadan.
I want to explain something that most people don’t understand—and it’s why fundraising surges before Ramadan are so critical.
You can’t serve Iftar on “intentions.”
You serve Iftar on food that has been purchased, secured, and scheduled.
That means:
supplies locked in before the rush
kitchens staffed and coordinated
meals planned so this doesn’t collapse halfway through the month
This is why I’m aiming for $150,000 before Thursday. It creates the stability to feed families reliably, not randomly.
Please donate here: support the people of Gaza this Ramadan.
And let me be blunt—because Gaza has been forced to endure polite lies for over two years.
People love to say: “I’ll give during Ramadan.”
But Gaza cannot wait for the first night if the ingredients aren’t secured.
Children can’t break their fast on a promise you meant to keep later.
Mothers can’t feed their families with “I’ll do it tomorrow.”
If you’re going to help, the most powerful time is right now.
Donate here: support the people of Gaza this Ramadan.
If you’re Muslim, you already know what it means to feed a fasting person. If you’re not Muslim, here’s the plain truth: Ramadan is built around empathy for hunger. It’s a month where your conscience is supposed to wake up and stay awake.
And Gaza is experiencing hunger—forced hunger—on top of grief, on top of displacement, on top of trauma.
So I’m asking you for a specific, clear thing:
Help us hit $150,000 before Thursday.
Not because $150,000 is a cute number.
Because it means more nights covered, more families reached, and less chaos once Ramadan begins.
Please donate here: support the people of Gaza this Ramadan.
Some of you can give $10. Some of you can give $25. Some of you can do $250 or $1,000 without blinking. I’m not here to shame anybody—I’m here to tell the truth:
This is one of those moments where the people with margin have a moral obligation to move first.
If you can, choose a number and do it now:
$25
$50
$100
$250
$500
$1,000
And if you can’t donate today, then do the other thing that actually moves the needle:
Share the link with three people and ask them to give today. Not “sometime this week.” Today.
Here is the link again: support the people of Gaza this Ramadan.
Let me give you a sentence you can copy and send as a text right now:
We crossed $100K for Gaza Iftar meals. Ramadan starts Thursday. Please help push this to $150K in 4 days so families can eat nightly: https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/support_the_people_of_gaza_this_ramadan_w_shaun_king
This is what I believe with my whole chest:
No family in Gaza should have to break the fast with nothing.
Not because they didn’t work hard enough.
Not because they “failed.”
But because the world failed them—and we’re refusing to be part of that failure.
Thank you for helping us reach $100,000.
Now let’s finish this push and hit $150,000 before Thursday.
Please donate here: support the people of Gaza this Ramadan.
Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
