A roundup of good news from our families
|
Hi Reader, Often in our newsletter I share with you the hardships that our families are facing in Gaza. Those hardships are still very much present, but today I want to offer a roundup of good news from our families and volunteers. Together, as a collective, we are making an impact. Take a moment to celebrate with us the following good news! πΆπ½Oday and Rawan recently welcomed their second child, baby Rayan, into the world! Mom, Dad, and big brother Yaman are so proud. If you would like to contribute towards expenses for their growing family, you can do that here. πMany of our families have celebrated birthdays recently, and some have been able to offer small celebrations they couldn't obtain this time last year. π« Rewaa, who was a beekeeper before the genocide began, has partnered with Coffees for Gaza volunteer Rebecca Mary to create the Zhourat tea blend. Rewaa describes the Palestinian tea blend as "infused with love, comfort, and generosity." The Zhourat blend is designed to help adults, children, and pregnant women to "feel held and relaxed." The tea can be shipped worldwide, though shipping is most affordable within Australia. Learn more here. β π Our first Coffees for Gaza calendar raised approximately 1,000 GBP for our families! Special thanks to Patricia Gunn for pulling this project together, to the artists who contributed their work, and to the volunteers who sold the calendar. π Nour's family was able to move from a tent into an apartment. She wrote on Instagram "Today, I thank God for a simple blessing: a home to begin this year in. Walls that offer safety, and a quiet moment of gratitude after so much noise. My children are my greatest miracle, the light that carried me through the darkest nights. I pray God protects them, surrounds them with peace, Help our community grow: invite a friend to join our email list!

Two unclaimed Peacetober auction items are still available! We need your help to wrap up the Peacetober 2025 Auction! We have two unclaimed items. Our auction volunteers have done our due diligence to contact the winning bidders for these pieces but have failed to reach them. We invite our community to claim the loss in pledged amounts for our families. Our Peacetober auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Families need as much support as we're able to direct to them. Please help us recover the loss by claiming these items. These lost pledges may seem small but every contribution matters! If you would like to purchase one of these unclaimed items, please send a direct message to Coffees for Gaza on Instagram, or reply to this email.

Hi Reader, Fadi cares for so many family members, and he does everything he can to avoid asking for help. He and his family need our care. What if we could show even a fraction of the generosity to him that he share with the people around him? I've shared before that Fadi and his wife have three beautiful daughters, who he calls their "flowers." But Fadi also supports his elderly parents and his younger sister. Alaa, Fadi and their three daughters: Danya, Kinda, and Leen The family has long...
Hi Reader, Tahani, Mohammed, and their four children urgently need your support. They have exhausted all their funds and food. As you can see below, a recent storm badly damaged their already battered tent. The streets near their tent regularly collect sewage-infested water, putting them at risk of serious illness. Various family members have already fallen ill several times. Tahani also wants to pass along her gratitude to Coffees for Gaza supporters like you for your past generosity. You...
Hi Reader, On Friday, families across Gaza were able to celebrate Eid al-Fitr for the first time since the genocide began. While all of the 25 families we're in relationship with still face incredibly harsh living conditions, it has been wonderful to see the joy and beauty in their holiday pictures and messages. On behalf of our families, we'd like to share thanks and appreciation for all the emotional and financial support you have offered. Every dollar you've donated, every post or email...
