Donate to UNRWA USA: Send Aid to Gaza Today
TSA families,

My name is Lailah Byrd, a senior at Toledo School for the Arts. For over six hundred and fifty days, Palestinian families in Gaza have been tortured, starved, and displaced from their homes. As someone who has watched the slow eradication of Gaza, I'm reaching out to you to ask that you help me and support the incredible work of UNRWA USA National Committee. Their mission is vital: to lift up the voices and humanity of Palestine refugees, ensuring they have the resources essential for a better life. UNRWA believes in a world where these individuals can thrive, living long and fulfilling lives. Together, I believe that we can make a difference and aid in achieving that goal.

Your donations will directly support their life-changing initiatives:

Providing essential services such as education and healthcare for Palestine refugees.

Advocating for policies that secure long-term support and resources for those in need.

Every contribution, no matter the size, matters. Let’s stand together to support UNRWA USA in their mission to create a brighter future for Palestine refugees. Thank you for your generosity, and I look forward to another great school year with Toledo School for the Arts!

Instead of gifts, I invite you to join me in supporting UNRWA USA, an organization dedicated to uplifting the voices and experiences of Palestine refugees. Your contributions will help ensure that these resilient individuals receive the essential resources they need for a better life.

By donating, you can help support:

Access to vital education and healthcare services for Palestine refugees.

Programs that empower communities and enhance livelihoods through sustainable development.

Choosing UNRWA USA for my birthday fundraiser is meaningful to me because I believe in fostering hope and humanity for those facing immense challenges. Together, we can make a difference. I appreciate any support you can provide to this important cause!

Donate to UNRWA: Noor and Mohammad's Wedding Wish
For our wedding, we, Noor and Mohammad, have decided to ask our friends and family to donate to UNRWA in lieu of traditional gifts. UNRWA is a UN agency that provides essential services to Palestinian refugees in the Middle East. These services include education, healthcare, food, and shelter. UNRWA also provides emergency assistance to Palestinians in times of crisis.

In recent years, the situation for Palestinians has become increasingly dire. The ongoing conflict in the region has led to widespread human devastation, particularly in the Gaza Strip. Gaza has been under a strict blockade for over a decade, and the vast majority of its residents live in poverty. The recent escalation of violence has only worsened the situation, with hundreds of Palestinians killed or injured. UNRWA is working tirelessly to provide humanitarian assistance to those in need, but they are in desperate need of funding. We believe that donating to UNRWA is a meaningful way to help alleviate the suffering of Palestinians and to support their right to a life of dignity and peace.

لحفل زفافنا، قررنا، نور ومحمد، أن نطلب من أصدقائنا وعائلتنا التبرع للأونروا بدلًا من الهدايا التقليدية. الأونروا هي وكالة تابعة للأمم المتحدة تقدم خدمات أساسية للاجئين الفلسطينيين في الشرق الأوسط. تشمل هذه الخدمات التعليم والرعاية الصحية والغذاء والمأوى. كما تقدم الأونروا مساعدات طارئة للفلسطينيين في أوقات الأزمات.

في السنوات الأخيرة، أصبح الوضع بالنسبة للفلسطينيين أكثر قتامة. أدى الصراع المستمر في المنطقة إلى دمار إنساني واسع النطاق، لا سيما في قطاع غزة. تخضع غزة لحصار صارم منذ أكثر من عقد من الزمان، ويعيش غالبية سكانها في فقر. أدى التصعيد الأخير للعنف إلى تفاقم الوضع، حيث قُتل أو جُرح المئات من الفلسطينيين. تعمل الأونروا بلا كلل لتقديم المساعدة الإنسانية للمحتاجين، لكنها في أمس الحاجة إلى التمويل. نعتقد أن التبرع للأونروا هو وسيلة ذات معنى للمساعدة في تخفيف معاناة الفلسطينيين ودعم حقهم في حياة كريمة وسلام.

UNRWA's Lifeline for Generations of Palestinian Refugees
Six months ago I shared this Go Fund Me and again I encourage and implore you to consider donating to UNRWA.

Now more than ever the Palestinian people need humanitarian aid and its imperative the forced starvation of their people ends.

Hello everyone,

I am starting a GoFundMe for UNRWA. While I am not in the space to be on the frontlines, I do know this organization needs any support, monetary or not, they can get at the moment.

If you don't know who they are or what they do, please read the information below.

UNRWA human development and humanitarian services encompass primary and vocational education, primary health care, relief and social services, infrastructure and camp improvement, microfinance, and emergency response, including in situations of armed conflict.

Palestine refugees

UNRWA is unique in terms of its long-standing commitment to one group of refugees. It has contributed to the welfare and human development of four generations of Palestine refugees, defined as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 War.” The descendants of Palestine refugee males, including legally adopted children, are also eligible for registration.

UNRWA services are available to all those living in its areas of operations who meet this definition, who are registered with the Agency, and who need assistance. When the Agency began operations in 1950, it was responding to the needs of about 750,000 Palestine refugees. Today, some 5.9 million Palestine refugees are eligible for UNRWA services.

NO BRAKES FOR PALESTINE: 40 MILES A DAY
Hi Everyone,

My name is Riley, I'm living in the Bay Area and I'll keep this simple:

I'm fundraising to support those affected by the genocide currently unfolding in Gaza.

The idea is to ride 40 miles a day, every day, and raise as much as possible in 30 days.

All funds will be donated to UNRWA - United Nations Relief and Works Agency- for Palestinian refugees.

The minimum amount I'd like to raise is $1,200.

Why 40 miles?

While I would like to turn this into a cross-country bike tour, I currently work full time.

40 miles a day is an achievable distance after work every day.

$1 per mile ridden amounts to $1,200 in 30 days.

Why a fixed gear?

It's the simplest bicycle there is mechanically.

Problems are easy to fix and keep me riding every day.

How YOU can help!

One-time donations are very appreciated, but pledge donations are better.

Please consider 25 cents/mile, 50 cents/mile, or $1/mile.

I'll be recording my miles on Strava.

You can follow me here:

Riley Brookshire on Strava

I'll also be posting screenshots of my daily rides and total miles every day on my Instagram.

If this goes well, I'll do another 30-day fundraising period for a different Palestinian aid organization.

Marathon for Palestine
This cause holds a deep personal significance for me. Running this marathon is my way of standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine, honoring their resilience and ongoing struggle for freedom and justice. Having witnessed the enduring hardship faced by so many over the years, I feel compelled to use my ability to raise awareness and funds to support organizations like UNRWA. Every mile I run is a symbol of perseverance, and every donation is a step closer to providing essential support to those affected. I’m grateful for any contribution that helps make a difference in the lives of Palestinians.

Immediate Aid for Gaza: Support 5Cs UNRWA Campaign
Immediate Aid for Gaza: Support 5Cs UNRWA Campaign

We are the Claremont Colleges Muslim Student Association, JVP, and SWANA. Right now, HALF A MILLION refugees in Gaza are classified as having food insecurity equivalent to famine levels of starvation, as defined by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). Every person in Gaza is hungry per the World Food Programme. And four out of five of the hungriest people anywhere in the world are in Gaza per the UN Secretary-General. Around 90% of Gaza’s population has been displaced by the war, living in tents, UNRWA Schools and Hospitals, and in the streets. Cold nights and winter rainfall are exacerbating the already dire situation with lack of electricity and fuel.

All the funds will be directed to UNRWA, which is the largest humanitarian organization in Gaza. Of its 13,000 staff, more than 3,000 continue working: they are the backbone of the humanitarian aid operations. As of January 10th, UNRWA distributed 2.6 million pounds of flour, 2.5 million units of high energy biscuits, 3.8 millions cans of protein-based food, and 4.8 million dairy items. The colossal humanitarian needs of over 2 million people in Gaza now face the risk of deepening following the decision of 16 donor countries, including the U.S. and the UK, to stop financial support to UNRWA.

With the generosity and support of the Claremont Community, we can help thousands of Palestinians. UNRWA provides Palestine refugees with food and non-food items such as blankets, bedding, and hygiene kits. $250 can provide a whole Palestine refuge family with lifesaving drinking water and food for an entire month.

Your donation saves Gazan lives.

Running BK Half Marathon to Feed Displaced Palestinians
TLDR: I'm running my first half-marathon on 5/18 to raise money to feed the hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians who are ravaged by famine today. It's my first half marathon, I am nervous and out of shape, but I want to dedicate it to something bigger than me. I will match the first $500 we raise. God bless.

Hey folks, I immigrated to the US from Egypt when I was 6 years old. We come from a large, humble family from a small town and our ability to live in the US is a statistical accident: the green card lottery program, a coin flip, enabled us to be here and live lives a little freer from want, religious oppression, and economic turmoil. With that backdrop, I'm raising money to support a people who are ravaged by rockets and war, death and destruction, and immediate need and hunger. While many of us have won the proverbial lottery, living in some semblance of freedom from war and want, the Palestinian people (especially now) are in desperate need of support. All proceeds will go to UNRWA and to feed the hundreds of thousands of refugees struggling to live and survive today. Beyond the violence people have been subjected to, famine has been decimating the population, nearly half of which are children, so many at this point turned to orphans. It's my hope to raise $1K, and I will personally match the first $500 you contribute.

Final note, I am an Arab Christian and the below passage resonates today more than ever for me. "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

Let's be our brother's and sister's keeper, let's feed the stranger from a distant land, even if they live thousands of miles away. Thank you. - Youssef

Dzenana Tiric is fundraising
Help for Gaza
Update:

Between one iftar night and 2 weeks of open donations on GoFundMe, we made the goal! THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU and your families for participating in aid for Gaza! Please know that the donation of $3345 is not from Dzenana but all the cash collected from 3/23/24 iftar night and few people donated more cash within the two weeks following the iftar.

Again, kindest gratitude to all of you from all of us (Ogrešević, Puljić, Ahmed, Murphy, Ganić, and Tirić)!

We are a small community of Bosnian refugees each one with our own diverse story to tell, but what we share is the experience of war and loss and can relate to the situation in Gaza. We are making an Iftar (dinner after fasting for Ramadan) to feed our loving family, friends, and neighbors and anyone who would like to join us in gathering together and praying for safety and survival. We have started a fundraiser with UNRWA (USA National Committee) and hope that you can be a part of this. Funds collected will go directly to UNRWA.

We are raising money to benefit UNRWA USA National Committee, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.
