From our series on Israel and Palestine since the bloodshed began on Oct 7th, 2023.

Horror like the ones we are seeing in the Middle East tears a hole in our hearts. It’s like a black hole that sucks in all language and meaning and sense. There are no words for horror such as this. If we keep staring into the abyss, frozen in front of the screen, we might fall in too. Too numb to feel. Too hopeless to do.

Who can hold you steady so that you don’t fall in? Who can breathe with you? Only when there is enough breath in our body can we push. You don’t need to do all the things, only the one that’s yours to do.

1. DONATE.
If you have resources, send it to the families and children who need us right now.

2. GRIEVE.
