Meaningful, last minute gifts


Hi Reader,

Are you still scrambling to take care of a few last minute holiday gifts? Making a gift to a Coffees for Gaza family in honor of a loved one is a simple and meaningful option.

Billy Ruffian has created a beautiful downloadable card that you can give to the person you are honoring.

Here's how to make a gift and download the card:

1) Choose a family and make a gift to their fundraising campaign.

If you don't already have a particular family in mind, the following families have suffered greatly from the recent flooding:

  • Abdullah Ziad Awad's family lost many of their belongings in flooding. Abdullah has chronic health conditions and is too sick to make repairs to the tent.
  • Nourhan's family lost all of their belongings and all of their food when their tent was submerged in the floods.
  • Tahani's family lost all of their bedding and many other belongings in the floods.
  • Qusay Hany and his mother have seen their tent repeatedly flood, destroying their belongings.
  • Qusay Talal and the young family members he supports also saw their tent submerged in water repeatedly and many things need to be replaced.

2) Download Billy's card here and give it to your loved one.

You can fill in the recipient’s name and the amount you’ve given for them, and add yours at the bottom.

You can give the card by itself as a postcard or stick it inside a greeting card. You could also write some info about the family you’ve chosen on the back of the card, or print their picture and add it.

With love and solidarity,

Rebekah Gienapp and the Coffees for Gaza team

Hi Reader, First I'd like to say THANK YOU to each of you who's made a gift to our new Emergency Fund or signed up for our monthly Family Sponsor Program. Your support of our families means the world to them, both at a practical, financial level and at an emotional one. It's not easy to keep your heart open to the suffering in our world, especially when it seems like those in power care so little about the harm they are causing. I hope you'll take encouragement from this art that Janna Dwyer...

Hi Reader, Our hearts are broken for the people of Iran as the U.S. and Israel rain down bombs on civilians. We grieve the more than 1,000 lives that have been needlessly lost so far, especially the scores of school girls in Minab whose promising young lives were cut short. As you've likely seen in the news, the effects of the assault on Iran are rippling far beyond the country's borders. Our families in Gaza are being impacted in significant ways. While we're still getting reports from...

Hi Reader, Ramadan Kareem to all who are celebrating the holy month of fasting, worship, and generosity! As a Christian I have been thinking about what it means that the Islamic month of Ramadan and the Christian season of Lent began on the same day this year - which has not happened in 126 years. For me it's a reminder of how much we share in common no matter where we live or how we worship. For the 25 families Coffees for Gaza is in relationship with, Ramadan is an incredibly special time....
