I am going to push our Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal hard today as the situation in Gaza manages somehow to get even worse just when you thought it couldn’t.

Message from our new member @nourgaza that I woke up to today:

“Today, an entire residential block next to us was completely destroyed. Thank God, my family and I were not harmed, and we fled to another place. Please, we are living under constant bombing and death is chasing us.

I urgently need money to escape with my family from the bombing. My children cry day and night out of fear. I’m also afraid, but I try to stay strong in front of them.

Please send me $4,500 to cover transportation, a tent, and basic necessities.

I have no place to go yet – the most important thing is just to get out of the danger zone, even if we end up sitting in the street.

Thank you so much.”

She is just one of four members. I’m likely going to need to increase our goal by ~$10,000 to help evacuate them.

In addition, we have ~six more families from Gaza to verify today.

I will do the calculations and update the site today but you can already start to help by donating if you can and sharing this.

I need you all to help me spread this as far as possible today so we can get our incoming families away from the bombs and destruction in the North and to relative safety in the South.

Good morning and thank you.

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

In Cherokee belief the white seeds of the viper's bugloss were formerly used in many important ceremonies of which the purpose was to look into the future, but have now been superseded by the ordinary glass beads of the traders.
