The situation in Gaza is desperate, and though we aren’t politicians, we can make a difference by helping families in need. Your donations will be directed to War Child, an organization dedicated to supporting children and families affected by conflict, as well as going directly to families in Gaza through grassroots and established channels. 🕊️

Can’t make it in person? No problem! We’ll be live-streaming the event via @shesingsshewrites on social media, so you can still tune in, enjoy the performances, and show your support.
