About this episode
We’re coming together today to support Gaza’s wounded children with no surviving parents — Donate whatever you can now: https://pcrf1.app.neoncrm.com/forms/pcrf-laocie-orphan-sponsorship-2025 There is no such thing as other people’s children. We must care for the children of Gaza like they’re our own—because they are. Our friend Akram Ibrahim is a Palestinian American volunteer with the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF). He and his family have worked tirelessly for decades to raise awareness of the plight and beauty of the Palestinian people. Akram shares what ceasefire means to him as someone who has spent his life fighting for Palestine and Palestinian lives. TO SUPPORT THE WOUNDED ORPHANED CHILDREN OF GAZA TODAY, DONATE NOW: https://pcrf1.app.neoncrm.com/forms/pcrf-laocie-orphan-sponsorship-2025 Donations will go directly to PCRF, with Glennon and Abby matching the first $100,000. Together, we can channel our heartbreak into action, and care for our children.
