Details about the fundraiser: Suggested Donations $10

All donations for this event will be split evenly between two families in Palestine. Relative Arts has multiple artists in the shop who have created pieces for purchase with all funds to be donated to Palestine relief. Putting to practice our belief that direct aid is the most impactful, we are sending support to Nour and her family as they survive continued displacement. Please read Nour’s story here and share far and wide: https://www.gofundme.com/f/7s3sqq-support-nours-familys-journey-to-safety

Earlier this summer, Shea was matched with Mai and her family's fundraiser. All donations raised will be used to help the nine family members still in Gaza find safety with Khaled, Mai's brother in Belgium. Read their story and donate or share: https://gofund.me/c6f53b8a
