Can I interest you in some Filipino short stories (written in English)?
Every week, I plan to choose a short piece of Filipino fiction and record myself reading it.
In exchange for proof of donations of at least £5 to any of the Palestinian fundraisers listed below, I will send a copy of the audio file along with a PDF version to your email (or a link to a gdrive folder where you can download it, if you prefer).
Please consider supporting these families with your donations:
Fundraiser for Rewaa, @mohamedmoner1994 and their children
Fundraiser for Karam's Family
Fundraiser for @yousefmoner, Sahar and their parents:
Fundraiser for Ismail:
I unfortunately have neglected these families for the past several months now because of my own personal issues, but my friends need help now more than ever. None of them were evacuated during the brief and cruel ceasefire, even Rewaa, who should have been in the priority list for evacuation given her cancer. Their situation is becoming more and more dire.
As you may know, Israel has blocked ALL aid to the Gaza strip, and their attacks on civillian encampments have become even more extreme. There's been several evacuation orders and these families are being forced to flee from place to place. This requires money, on top of the funds they need for basic needs, and the prices for commodities are now unbelievably high.
Please, if you were thinking of cancelling any of your streaming subscriptions, or skipping out on a badly-reviewed movie, or thinking twice about purchasing a book, game, or album, now couldn't be a more perfect time to do it. Instead, I encourage you to direct your money to the fundraisers above, and donate to at least one of them, or to all of them if you are able.
And in return, I will tell you a story.
Please send a screenshot of your donation to my inbox here (I am able to accept asks with media; the submit a post button is also enabled). Kindly indicate as well if you would like to receive a gdrive link or an email with the audio file and pdf, and if the latter, include the email address you want me to send it to.
