Help displaced 25 year old equestrian Nesma survive in Gaza
Help displaced 25 year old equestrian Nesma survive in Gaza
My name is Tiffany, and I'm an equestrian based in NYC. I've created this emergency fundraiser on behalf of my friend Nesma of Friends Equestrian Club in Gaza to help her purchase urgently needed food and medicine for her and her family. As we've gotten to know each other, we've swapped photos of ourselves and of horses we've ridden, and even with the language barrier between our respective Arabic and English, the smile on her face in her riding videos says everything words could never. She misses horses and riding so much, but right now, what she needs most is to ensure her survival. You can read more about equestrians' fundraising efforts supporting our displaced peers in Palestine in this article.
Help Amal and Her Family Survive in Gaza
Help Amal and Her Family Survive in Gaza
Hello, my name is Gabi, I'm an American fundraising for my good friend Amal in Gaza. As a mother, I feel its an obligation to prioritize the survival of other mothers and their children, so I chose to help Amal and her family by creating this link. The previous campaign website was taken down for unknown reasons, so I had to create this new one.
