🌙 Ramadan Is 11 Days Away. Gaza Is Still Hungry. Join 787 Donors Today!

We’ve raised $73,179—but we need 15,000 people to step in now.

Family,

I want to speak to you from a place of honesty, gratitude, and urgency.

As of right now, we’ve raised $73,179 from 787 donors for Gaza. I am genuinely proud of that. Every one of those gifts represents someone who chose compassion over indifference. Thank you.

But with Ramadan just 11 days away, we are still far from where we need to be.

To provide $1.5 million in warm meals during Ramadan, we are going to need at least 15,000 donors. And we need to raise as much as humanly possible right now, because the food for the first days of Ramadan must be purchased before the month even begins.

I know some of you just read my heart-to-heart about truth, trust, and why I do this work the way I do. I didn’t write that to convince anyone—I wrote it because integrity matters, especially in moments like this. And I want you to hear this clearly: I am deeply proud of what this community has already done for Gaza, and I am just as committed to what we still have to do.

Here’s the truth about how we reach a goal like this. It has never been one kind of donor. It has always been all of us.

Some people will give $10,000 or $15,000 or $1,000, and those gifts carry enormous weight. Others will give $5, $50, or $100—the absolute best they can do. Both matter. Both are essential. Movements fail when people compare themselves to one another. They succeed when everyone does what they can with sincerity.

Every dollar you give through this Ramadan Gaza fundraiser is:

• 100% tax deductible

• Zakat eligible

• Used only for this cause

• And goes directly to feeding families in Gaza

I do not receive a percentage of what you donate. This is about meals on tables, not money in pockets.

Right now in Gaza, families are preparing for Ramadan under siege. Parents are skipping meals so their children can eat. Elders are going without. And the month of mercy is coming anyway.

That’s why I’m asking you—person to person—to help us surge in these final days by giving whatever you are able to give here. And if you truly cannot give, please share this with three people who might be able to. That matters more than you know.

There is also something special about giving on Fridays in Islam. The Prophet ﷺ taught us that Friday is the best day of the week, a day when deeds are magnified and mercy is near. He told us that charity never decreases wealth, and many scholars have long encouraged giving on Fridays because of its barakah—the quiet, compounding blessing Allah places in sincere acts done on sacred time.

For many of us, giving on a Friday isn’t superstition; it’s trust. It’s the belief that when you give to feed the hungry on a day loved by Allah, that gift reaches further than the plate in front of someone—it reaches your scale on the Day of Judgment.

We’ve done hard things together before. We can do this too.
But we have to move now.

Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for standing with Gaza. And thank you for being part of a community that keeps choosing mercy.

With love and determination,
Shaun
