My friend Doaa Nashwan has been a very public and selfless face exposing the serious problems of Canada's dreadful Gaza visa program. But now she needs our help. Please visit https://www.gofundme.com/f/2ebvf-help-my-sister-and-her-family-to-evacuate-gaza to help her with the funds she needs to survive and escape the ongoing genocide.

Doaa is a talented filmmaker and caring community advocate who was forcibly separated from her husband and children at the evacuation point on April 2 because Canada violated its own program guidelines. With her family in Canada, Doaa can only run from the bombs and try to suppress the effects of starvation five months later in the killing zones of Gaza.

Please consider a donation to her funding campaign. And if you have two minutes, please write a letter to the appropriate ministers urging her evacuation and that of other visa applicants: a guide is at https://www.change.org/p/these-kids-need-their-moms-canada-must-immediately-evacuate-doaa-and-nariman-from-gaza/u/33582526

With hope that this horror will end soon, we push on to make that happen.
