We must remember them, we must say their names, we must hear their stories - so today we bring you two. Subhi and Jewher were raised miles apart, but share one homeland - East Turkestan. - Our main sponsor for today is Helping Hand for Relief and Development USA, this year we focus our efforts on our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Their team on the ground is working tirelessly to ensure dedicated emergency relief for Ramadan food boxes can reach them and alleviate some small semblance of their suffering. Our hope is to raise 25,000 USD to get them the basic necessities they desperately need.
