Dear friend of The Jerusalem Fund,
A sacred time of the year is upon us once again. Ramadan is a special time for our brothers and sisters in Palestine and many around the world. For those who may or may not observe this month, our Board of Directors and Staff extend our best wishes and appreciation to all members of our cherished community.
We must convey to you the desperate situation in Palestine. Last year recorded the highest number of Palestinians killed by Israeli Forces since the Second Intifada. And more than 88 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the new year, averaging more than one death per day. Moreover, recent raids by the Occupation forces in Jenin and Nablus, and the monstrous pogrom in Huwara, have set a devastating tone for Palestinians for the foreseeable future. The new far-right Israeli government coalition has shamelessly and repeatedly announced that it will not waver in their supremacist policies.
The Jerusalem Fund continues our historic grants program that awards much needed funds to deserving organizations serving Palestinians across the region. School renovations, structural rehabilitations, medical services amenities, and various development projects, as well as countless other projects, have changed the lives of Palestinians living in the most underserved communities. Furthermore, the provision of specialized care through the Palestine Diabetes Institute has been a crucial service to those in Palestine suffering from such a disease under the harsh conditions of the Occupation.
A simple gift of $10, $20 or $30 makes a great difference in contributing to the improvement of resources used for development in Palestine.
Larger donations, in an amount of your choice, will contribute to propelling more sustainable and longer-lasting community and educational projects.
Every dollar you donate is 100% tax-deductible to the extent of the law and will be fully designated to the fund you choose. Donations to The Jerusalem Fund are also Zakat-eligible.
Our team is endlessly grateful for the compassion you have shown this noble cause. We are steadfast in advancing our mission and expanding the benefit of international solidarity with the Palestinian people.
We wish you and your loved ones a peaceful and rewarding month.
Ramadan Kareem,
Subhi D. Ali, MD
