🌙 We need $5,412 overnight to stay on track for the new school for orphans we are building in Gaza!

We’ve raised $29,588. If we can raise $5,412 overnight, we cross $35,000 and keep this school on track.

As-Salaam-Alaikum and good evening.

It is almost 9pm here in New Jersey, and I need to ask for your help tonight.

We have now raised $29,588 from 196 supporters to help build a school for orphaned children in Gaza.

That is beautiful. That is real. That is momentum.

But now we need to get to $35,000 by tomorrow morning.

That means we need to raise $5,412 overnight.

Please give now:

Donate here to help us reach $35,000 by morning

I am asking because the timing matters.

If we do not raise at least $10,000 per day, we are going to fall too far behind to get the team on the ground in Gaza the funds they need by next month to begin construction. And after we crossed 10% of the full project goal, our team in Gaza was encouraged in a way that is hard to explain. They believe we are going to raise this entire amount. They are planning with hope. They are counting on us.

I do not want us to lose momentum now.

We are not raising money for an idea floating somewhere in the clouds. This is a real school being planned for orphaned children in Gaza ages 5–9, serving Grades 1, 2, and 3. These are children who should be sitting in classrooms, learning how to read, write, count, study Qur’an, ask questions, make friends, and trust that tomorrow can be better than today.

Instead, many of them have spent the past two years surrounded by bombs, displacement, hunger, fear, grief, and loss.

A school will not erase what has been done to them. But a school can give them structure again. It can give them a safe place to go in the morning. It can give them teachers, desks, whiteboards, books, a courtyard, play, routine, and adults who are invested in their healing and their future.

That is what we are building.

Please donate tonight and help us keep this school on schedule

The proposed school will include 6 fully equipped classrooms with space for approximately 270 children, around 45 students per classroom. It will include 6 washrooms, each with its own separate exterior entrance, along with an administrative office, a teachers’ room, a dedicated counsellor’s space, solar power support, electrical infrastructure, secure perimeter fencing, and an outdoor artificial grass play area.

The counsellor’s space matters because these children are not only behind in school. Many are carrying grief and trauma that no child should ever have to carry. The play area matters because children need movement, laughter, and relief. Solar support matters because Gaza’s infrastructure has been devastated, and this school must be designed for real conditions on the ground.

Tonight’s goal is simple and reachable.

We need $5,412 more by morning.

That could be:

• 1 donor giving $5,000 and a few smaller gifts

• 5 donors giving $1,000

• 11 donors giving $500

• 55 donors giving $100

• 109 donors giving $50

• 542 donors giving $10

Any combination gets us there.

And I mean this sincerely: we need all of it. We need the person who can give $5 and refuses to sit this out. We need the person who can give $50 before bed. We need the donor who can give $500 or $1,000 and move the night forward. And I am directly asking the people who can give $5,000, $25,000, $100,000, or even cover the entire remaining need to step forward.

Somebody reading this can help us hit this overnight goal almost immediately.

And everyone reading this can help.
