Christmas cards in aid of Gaza 🕯️
My heart is broken.
I have been feeling horrified and helpless watching the news coming out of Gaza the past couple of weeks.
I am remembering the children I met who were injured During the last Gaza war in 2014. For 15-year-olds in Gaza, it's their fifth war since 2007.
10 years ago, I visited some children from Gaza being treated in St Joseph’s hospital in Jerusalem.
They were so grateful that people cared about them - whether it was a small gift, some sweets or some phone credit to call home. All they ever asked was to share their story and to let the world know about their suffering.
Today, I don’t know whether they are dead or alive.
I am feeling so helpless.
So I my very small way, I am trying to help by selling papercut Christmas cards in aid of the Christian hospital in Gaza.
This card was the first ever creation from BBpapercuts - the sky line of the old city of Jerusalem, where the holiest sites from three major world religions coexist
For the last 10 years, I have sold this card for different charities in Bethlehem.
This year, all proceeds will go to the Christian Diocese of Jerusalem that runs Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza. There healthcare is offered to those in need regardless of race, religion, or ability to pay.
Please send me a DM if you are interested. They will be available for purchase on my website very soon 🙏
