💔 Gaza is starving. Ramadan is coming. This is our chance to feed families nightly in just 4 days!

Ramadan begins Thursday. Warm meals require food bought now. Please help us reach $150,000 in 4 days.

Ramadan begins in just four days—this Thursday. In most places, that means families planning what they’ll cook, kids counting down the days, masjids preparing for crowded nights. In Gaza, it means parents wondering if they’ll have anything at all to break the fast with when the sun goes down.

Now here’s the urgent mission.

We are raising funds right now to provide warm Iftar meals nightly in Gaza throughout Ramadan—organized with Human Concern International through LaunchGood. And I need you to understand the clock we’re racing against: you can’t serve meals you haven’t bought food for. You can’t secure supply, transportation, and kitchen capacity at the last second. This has to be funded before the first night.

Right now, the campaign is at $95,295—with 1,010 supporters already stepping up.

And I’m asking you for two concrete, time-locked goals:

We need to cross $100,000 today.
And we are aiming for $150,000 before Ramadan begins this Thursday.

If you can help, please donate here right now: Support the people of Gaza this Ramadan.

Why this has to happen before Thursday

I need to say this with love and with clarity: a lot of people wait and say, “I’ll donate once Ramadan starts.”

But Gaza doesn’t get to pause hunger until the calendar flips.

The food has to be purchased and prepared. The work has to be scheduled. The meals have to be funded in a way that’s steady enough to keep going every single night. And the closer we get to Thursday without clearing these goals, the more fragile the entire plan becomes.

So today is not “early.”
Today is on time.

What your donation actually does

People are exhausted. I know that. The genocide has been ongoing for over two years, and the world has tried to normalize the unthinkable. But this is one of those moments where a single act—feeding a family at Iftar—cuts through the darkness like a candle.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that feeding a fasting person carries a reward like theirs. If you’re not Muslim, here’s the simple meaning: in Islam, feeding the hungry is one of the most honored forms of mercy—because it’s faith you can touch. It’s compassion that becomes a plate of food in somebody’s hands.

That’s what this campaign is: mercy you can touch.

Let’s make this easy: choose your number and move

If you’ve been wanting to help Gaza in a way that is immediate and undeniable, this is it. Pick a number you can do right now:

• $25 helps provide warm meals to families breaking their fast

• $50 becomes real food on real plates

• $100 is a strong, meaningful push toward nightly Iftars

• $250 / $500 / $1,000 is how we surge to $150,000 before Thursday

And if you can give more—if you’ve been blessed with margin—this is the moment to use it.

The part I can’t shake

I keep thinking about what it means to break your fast.

It’s supposed to be a moment of relief. A moment where the body rests and the heart softens. A moment where families come back together after a day of hunger and prayer.

Now imagine being in Gaza—where the trauma never stops—and the call to prayer arrives, and you still don’t know if there will be food.

That’s why I’m pushing so hard for $100,000 today. That’s why I’m aiming at $150,000 before Thursday. Because stability matters. Consistency matters. Dignity matters.

And because Gaza is not a headline. Gaza is families.

One thing that multiplies donations fast

If you want to help but money is tight, I’m still asking you to do something powerful: share this link with three people right now. Text it to your closest friends. Send it to your family group chat. Post it where your community will actually see it.

Fundraising surges when people stop assuming “someone else will handle it.”

Ramadan begins Thursday. Gaza can’t break fast on “good intentions.” We need $100,000 today and $150,000 in 4 days to fund warm Iftar meals nightly. Donate here:https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/support_the_people_of_gaza_this_ramadan_w_shaun_king

And if you’re ready to donate right now, here it is again: Support the people of Gaza this Ramadan.

I’m going to keep pushing until we clear $100,000 today—because that number isn’t just a milestone on a screen. It’s food purchased. It’s meals secured. It’s families protected from one more layer of humiliation.

Thank you to the 1,010 of you who have already stepped up. If you’ve been on the fence, this is your moment. And if you’ve already donated, I’m asking you to bring one more person with you.

Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
