🇵🇸 URGENT: The most important email I've ever sent you in my life
We MUST do this - TOGETHER - right here, right now.
((If you are in a major hurry, click here now. Otherwise, it is VERY important to me personally that you read what I’m about to say.))
Hello from Toronto,
In a few minutes I will be on stage speaking, but I had to send this to you right away.
Many times in my life as a leader, I prepared a message like this, and thought to myself, “This might be the most important message I’ve ever shared.”
Well, undoubtedly, what I am about to say, and what I am about to request of you, is absolutely the most important request I’ve ever made.
We’ve reached the point in the genocide of the Palestinians where people are literally starving to death. After so many massacres across Gaza, when I think I can’t possibly see anything worse than what I’ve already seen, yesterday was a new low.
112 starving Palestinians were slaughtered by Israel tanks and snipers as they waited for food in the North. Over 800 more Palestinians were injured. In the end, it was one of the deadliest mass shootings in the modern history of the world.
If you’ve been following me on Telegram, you’ve seen me and the dear young Palestinian brother, Ali, working to get fruit, vegetables, flour, and meat to Palestinians who otherwise would not have it. Thousands of you donated directly to Ali - who then took 100% of what you donated - and used it in the most profound ways. Some days he built tents for families that were sleeping on the streets. Other days, when he saw that the most pressing need was money itself, he prepared cash envelopes for people, and allowed them to purchase whatever they needed the most. We’ve served thousands of people so far.
About two weeks ago Ali told me a vision he had that deeply resonated with me…
“Shaun, I would like us to try to feed 20,000 people per day during the holy month of Ramadan,” Ali said.
Truthfully, we’d like to feed 2,000,000 people per day - and God willing - one day we will, but our first goal will be 20,000. It’s still a MASSIVE goal. But it’s one we MUST achieve.
For the past two weeks Ali has been negotiating the purchase of food inside of Gaza - and we’ve decided to partner with the beautiful team at Human Concern International (HCI), which has an office inside of Gaza and has been getting trucks through the crossing - to purchase food from outside of Gaza that we will prepare throughout Ramadan.
I think it will cost us at least $3 million to do this - maybe more - because the price of food fluctuates - and can sometimes be outrageously expensive.
We are working now to get food into the North - where the conditions are most severe - and we will absolutely be delivering food throughout Central Gaza and the South.
As we always do, Ali and I will document our work alongside the brilliant team at HCI, and show you our progress and challenges every step of the way.
Please consider making your very best donation by clicking here today.
Before I was banned from Instagram, this ambitious dream of ours would’ve been much easier to accomplish, but I just believe in my heart that with you and God, we can still do this.
While every single donation, no matter how small, matters, this is going to take tens of thousands of us stretching ourselves.
Can your business donate?
Can your mosque or church or religious center donate?
Can your family pool their resources together to donate?
Can you recruit friends and family to join you?
Can you sell any stocks or investments to donate?
It’s going to take ALL OF US - pushing ourselves to the max - to be able to do this - and we simply cannot do it without you.
Your donation is tax deductible and you will get a receipt.
I love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
