Personal Notes:
Saif:
I'll be running the Montreal half marathon this september and want to use this as an opportunity to raise funds for UNICEF. UNICEF has been active and present with delivering aid and services to Gazan children, especially during these past 10+ months.
Let's continue to apply pressure, and help by any means available to end the ongoing genocide.
Noor:
Hi friends and colleagues!
I’ll be running the Montreal half marathon this September, and together with my friend Saif we decided to take this opportunity to fundraise for Gaza via UNICEF.
We’ve chosen UNICEF as their work in Gaza covers a broad spectrum of aid, whether through essential vaccines, psychosocial support or emergency supplies.
I am writing this on day 314 of the genocide—though raising funds and bearing witness is important, we would also like to remind you to continue to apply pressure on our elected leaders to push for an end to both this genocide and the occupation.
While we’re here, I’d also like to shed some visibility on local Palestinian run organizations that you can also support including:
Canadian Palestinian Foundation of Quebec
https://www.cpfq.org/
Palestinian Social Fund: https://www.palestiniansocialfund.com/
The Montreal branch of the Palestinian Youth Movement:

And abroad:
Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund:

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund:

Thank you for donating!
