DONATE TO PALESTINE
What's happening in Palestine, and what has been happening for decades, is atrocious and unforgivable. We've been so lucky to build an amazing platform with all of you who have supported us over the years and want to use this opportunity for good.
How It Works:
1. Pick one of these places, or a family/cause on the Operation Olive Branch list, and make a minimum donation of $10. The first 50 folks in the US to send us proof will get a mystery patch from us. After that, or if you're not in the US, we'll send you a code for $10 off from the shop.
2. To send us proof, you can send it to us either on Instagram or to our email, support@jedikaylin.com. Please make sure that all of your personal information is blocked out. We don't want your credit card information or anything like that floating around.
2a. In order to send you either a patch or a code, please be sure to include your email address in your proof of donation. If you've purchased from us before, just let us know the email linked to your order and we can go from there. If you send proof via Instagram, we will reach out through email.
Organizations to Donate To:
Below are a list of organizations we've selected that you can donate to for this. Please don't let this be the only list of organizations or people you donate to as there are many more groups and people out there doing a lot of good.
If you've been on social media recently, it's likely you've heard of Operation Olive Branch. Linked above is a spreadsheet of individualized family GoFundMe campaigns who are fundraising for help to rebuild, to get aid, or to evacuate from the Gaza strip. Currently it costs around $5,000 USD per person to evacuate at the Rafah Crossing so in order to evacuate a family, it's incredibly expensive.
Feel free to donate to any individual campaign or multiple campaigns.
The Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (PCRF)
"PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve."
Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PCRS)
"Our "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign aims to address urgent humanitarian needs and support long-term recovery efforts in Gaza. The funds raised will primarily focus on immediate relief, including providing essential medical supplies, food, medical treatment, clean water, and other necessities for families affected by the conflict. Additionally, our campaign will support rebuilding healthcare facilities and providing long-term support through impactful programs and projects to support the needs of children and the health sector in Gaza. It will also allocate resources towards trauma counseling, mental health support, and other initiatives for children affected by the conflict, aiming to foster healing and resilience within the community."
Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres
"We provide independent, impartial medical humanitarian assistance to the people who need it most. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) cares for people affected by conflict, disease outbreaks, natural and human-made disasters, and exclusion from health care in more than 70 countries."
Please note, MSF provides assistance across the globe. They are also working in countries like Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
If you are unable to donate right now, that’s okay! There are other ways to help people in Palestine right now. Share fundraisers of families, encourage people around you to donate, write to your local politicians to push for and immediate and permanent ceasefire, boycott companies who are on the BDS list, and make your voice heard that we will not stand for the continuous genocide of the Palestinian people.
