A Message of Urgency and Hope from Gaza

Dear Friend,

As we approach the end of this challenging year, we invite you to watch a powerful video shared by our friends at the Jerusalem Princess Basma Centre (JPBC). In it, you’ll hear a deeply personal update on their work in Gaza, where their team is tirelessly supporting children with disabilities and their families, even as the war continues to escalate.

The video highlights the incredible work of the Jerusalem Princess Basma Centre, serving families caught in the devastating cycle of violence. Even as these families face unimaginable hardships, JPBC stands as a beacon of hope, offering essential care and support. Their team’s resilience in the face of adversity is truly humbling, but the reality is that they cannot do it alone.

JPBC, like so many of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem’s humanitarian institutions, is stretched thin. The needs are overwhelming—medical supplies, emergency relief, continued rehabilitation services for children. The diocese cannot continue to sustain these life-saving operations without your support.

That’s why today, I’m asking you to make a gift to AFEDJ, directed to “where the need is greatest.” Your generosity ensures that institutions like JPBC can keep their doors open, offering critical care and stability to families when they need it most. Every dollar you give strengthens the diocese’s ability to respond to the crisis on the ground and bring relief to those who are suffering.

TAKE ACTION

This work is vital. It’s immediate. And we cannot do it without you. Your support goes far beyond a financial contribution; it provides crucial aid to children, families, and communities who rely on us to stand by them when everything else feels uncertain.

The work we do together brings strength, stability, and essential resources in times of chaos. It’s a powerful reminder of what’s possible when compassionate individuals like you stand alongside those who need it most.

Please join us in this critical effort. Your gift today will make a lasting impact on the lives of countless families in Gaza and throughout the Holy Land. Thank you for being an integral part of this community of care.

With gratitude,

P.S. As a special thank you, when you make a new, unrestricted gift during this campaign, you’ll receive an invitation to a special virtual event with Archbishop Hosam Naoum. In this intimate virtual gathering, the Archbishop will share stories of resilience and the ongoing impact of your support. It’s a chance to witness firsthand the difference you are helping make in the lives of those who need it most.
