🍲 Ramadan starts in 4 days. Gaza needs warm Iftar meals every single night.

We’re at $89,698. Let’s break $100,000 before Ramadan begins in 4 days.

Ramadan begins in just four days. And in Gaza, that doesn’t mean lanterns and laughter and family tables overflowing. It means parents trying to find anything—anything—to put in a pot, while their children watch and wait.

Now let me tell you why I’m coming to you with urgency.

Right now, we are raising funds—through LaunchGood in partnership with Human Concern International—to provide warm Iftar meals every single night in Gaza. And we have a hard, real-world deadline: we must get past $100,000 before Ramadan begins so we can purchase and secure the food we need for nightly dinners.

So I’m asking you plainly: please donate right now.

We can’t serve food we haven’t bought. We can’t cook meals with supplies we didn’t secure. And in Gaza, where the entire system has been shattered, waiting until the first night is how you end up with families breaking their fast with nothing but water—if even that.

Here’s where we are right now—and what we have to do next:

• We’ve raised $89,698 so far.

• Our current checkpoint goal is $150,000.

• We need to pass $100,000 in the next four days to lock in food for nightly Iftars.

• During Ramadan, my total goal is $1.5 million to fund as many dinners as humanly possible.

• 955 supporters have already stepped up—thank you. Now we need a surge.

And I want you to feel the moral weight of this: a warm meal at Iftar is not a luxury. It is dignity. It is a mother saying, “I can still take care of my children,” even when the world has tried to strip her of everything.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us something that hits different in a moment like this. He said that whoever feeds a fasting person will receive a reward from Allah like that person who is fasting receives. Not because charity is a performance. But because feeding people is one of the purest forms of worship. Its mercy made tangible. It’s faith with hands and receipts.

So let’s do this the way our faith—and our humanity—demands:

If you can give $25, give it.
If you can give $100, give it.
If you can give $250 or $1,000, I’m telling you right now—this is where it belongs.

Please donate here.

Some people will say, “But can one donation really matter?”
Yes. Because campaigns like this don’t move from one giant check—they move from thousands of ordinary people refusing to look away.

Some people will say, “There are so many causes. I’m overwhelmed.”
I understand that feeling. But Ramadan is four days away, and in Gaza, the need isn’t abstract—it’s tonight. It’s tomorrow. It’s the next sunset.

Some people will say, “I don’t trust fundraising.”
That’s exactly why we’re doing this in partnership with a registered charity partner and on a platform with public progress tracking. And it’s why I’m putting the link right here again—so you can see it, share it, and hold all of us accountable: support the people of Gaza this Ramadan. I do not take a percentage of any of your donation and never will.

Let me also ask you to do one more thing that matters more than people realize: share this. Forward it to three people. Text it to your family group chat. Post it wherever you still have a voice. If every person reading this got three more people to see it, we wouldn’t just cross $100,000—we’d blow past it.

Here’s your pull-quote—copy/paste it anywhere:

Ramadan starts in 4 days. Gaza can’t break fast on “good intentions.” Help us cross $100,000 now so families can have warm Iftar meals every night.

And again—because repetition saves lives in fundraising—please donate right now.

I am aiming for $1.5 million during Ramadan so we can serve nightly dinners to as many families as possible. But first, we have to clear this immediate hurdle. We must cross $100,000 before the first night. That’s the difference between planning meals with stability and scrambling in chaos.

If you’re able to help, please donate here today.

And if you’ve already donated—thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Now I’m asking you to help me bring one more person with you.

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