<div>My name is Dianne Brause. I grew up on a farm in Ohio, USA. My first trip abroad, at 19, took me to the Middle East, and I felt called to someday make a difference there. Many years later, I again visited Israel and the West Bank of Palestine. While there, I volunteered and was hosted by the Taneeb Family, who own a tiny farm called Hakoritna, which has supplied fresh vegetables and fruits to many people in the region for many years. <strong>Recently, their farm was practically destroyed by the nearby attacks in Tulkarm by the Israeli military. Since then, they are basically not allowed to enter their own farm without a special permit–which has been denied to them.</strong>

</div>
<div>This coming December, I will turn 80 years of age, and <strong>I am choosing to dedicate some of my resources to them, as an act of solidarity with those striving for peace and freedom in a time of great trauma and grief.</strong> I know these people well and trust that any funds going to them will be used to enhance the quality of life for those living in their area.

</div>
<div><strong>For each dollar that you contribute, I will match it with a dollar from my comparative "wealth" as a middle-class American. </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Please help rebuild the farm, provide fresh food to their community–and rekindle a belief in humanity! </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Thank You! Peace and Love to All! </strong>
