Fundraising Art - Blog Posts
I hope you all have found your local protest to join Monday (10/7), we're coming up on a year of active genocide. I'd really like to thank everyone who has helped me support my best friend through this fundraiser. He feels really weird accepting help from anyone but as grad students we get paid like shit so the extra money for his family is extremely useful. I was worried (still am honestly given the escalation recently) that he was going to have to delay his PhD to work more hours to support them (he's had to do so before unfortunately, he's had to overcome so many challenges coming from a family of refugees). The kindness shown by complete strangers has been heartwarming. Things are looking very bleak right now but it is some comfort to know how many people out there are fighting for this cause alongside him. When things started up a year ago he felt so alone, the shift in public sentiment has been great to see.
These are some of the best selling designs from the fundraiser so far:
Here are a few sample products with these designs:
Stickers are generally the most popular products. Shirts and pins also make a lot of sales, but there are a ton of other options in the shop: notebooks, puzzles, magnets, mugs, bags, posters and plenty more. EVERYTHING I RAISE is for my best friend. The money is sent home to support his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

Here's another sample of things from the fundraiser (shirts, stickers, pins, notebooks).
We haven't been able to get in touch our university student acquaintance in Gaza at all this week (or their relatives in the West Bank). We're assuming the search for passage to Egypt has not gone well, until we hear otherwise we anticipate the money will keep going to food for my friend's other friends/relatives there.
As always ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for my best friend who is Palestinian. The extra income will help him support his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.
