You are a a lifeline for Nourhan
|
Hi Reader, When I first "met" Nourhan's family, it was through an Instagram video of her daughter Najat, then 4 years old, enthusiastically cooking in their tent. She had such a sweet and hopeful spirit, despite all the trauma that she, her mother, and her little brother Mohammed had been through. Over the last two years, I've lost count of how many times Nourhan and her children were displaced. They had several brushes with violence that were incredibly close calls. Through it all, Nourhan has been a courageous and persistent advocate for her children, regularly sharing updates on social media. Still, donations have not kept pace with their needs, especially since the ceasefire was declared late last year. This winter their tent has been flooded in torrential rains more than once. They lost all their food and belongings in the flooding, and Nourhan told me yesterday that she still has not been able to replace many of the basic items that were lost, Nourhan urgently needs our help right now because on top of all she's already been through this month, today Mohammed, who has asthma, is having surgery to address his breathing problems. He is scheduled for another surgery three weeks from now for a different medical problem. Nourhan needs donations to cover the cost of both these surgeries, which are quite expensive. She also needs funds for medicine and food for the children. Since losing their food stores in the flooding, it has truly been a daily struggle for her to meet her precious little ones' most basic needs. Can you share the cost of a takeout coffee - or more if you can afford - with Nourhan? Your gift of any size will truly be a lifeline as little Mohammed endures these urgently needed surgeries.
Nourhan's campaign is in US dollars, but when you click on the "donate now" button, you'll see options to give in several major currencies. With love and solidarity, Rebekah Gienapp and the Coffees for Gaza team Invite a friend to subscribe | Coffees for Gaza on Instagram | Family Sponsor Program |

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....
