Palestine Children's Relief Fund at UIC is a non-political, non-profit organization dedicated to healing the wounds of war & occupation in the Middle East.
Nearly 30yrs ago, before I started @ThePCRF, I brought 10y Nizar for treatment. He lost three limbs to a bomb in #Gaza. Thanks to the thousands of people worldwide who gave me a chance to live of life of meaning and purpose by helping others, poor fashion not withstanding.🇵🇸✌️☮️
This is when I was with some of my brave and noble @ThePCRF staff in our office in #Gaza, who risk their lives every day to provide humanitarian relief for innocent children. And then this is that same office today. Thankfully they are all OK.
I started serving Palestine's children as a writer in the 1st Intifada. I met siblings from Hebron who was injured in a bombing and arranged treatment in Akron. They were the 1st injured kids to come to the US for free care. We've sent 2,000 since.

I've been in wars in #Gaza before, and the feeling of insecurity, that you are not safe anywhere, is a kind of fear unlike any other. Hearing jets or the buzz of a drone overhead creates deep, unforgetful anxiety. God bless and protect my many friends and staff there
