In Palestine, even those with the least still find ways to give during Eid. When money is scarce, they give their presence, visiting family at sunrise, sharing meals and sweets prepared with mother’s love, bringing joy to children, and offering Udhiyah when they are able.

But this year, amid deepening hardship, ongoing displacement and loss, in both Gaza and the West Bank, the spirit of Eid carries a different weight.

To everyone who believes that even the smallest act of kindness matters, thank you. Your generosity is helping make Eid feel a little more like home for children and families across Palestine.

From the PCRF family: Adha Mubarak to you, your loved ones, and to the people of Palestine.

The news of a ceasefire in Gaza brings a moment of relief after months of unimaginable suffering and loss. While we welcome the hope it brings, we know the wounds, both visible and unseen, will take years to heal.

At PCRF, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the children and families of Gaza. The need for medical care, psychosocial support, and long-term rebuilding is more urgent than ever.

Together, with the support of our global community, we will continue to stand with those affected and work tirelessly to restore hope and dignity.

This ceasefire is a reminder of the resilience and strength of the people of Gaza. Let it also be a call to action for us all—to not only rebuild what was destroyed but to reimagine a future where children can dream, thrive, and live in peace.

Your support has been a light in these dark times. Thank you for standing with us.
