Let's Sponsor an Orphan Together

I haven’t celebrated my birthday in Toronto in years — and with everything happening in the world, it feels even more meaningful to gather with the people I love. In the midst of so much heartbreak and injustice, I’ve been holding onto the small, joyful things — and the incredible people in my life — a little more tightly. This dinner will be intimate and intentional — just a few people I deeply care about, coming together over good food and warm conversation. We’ll be sharing a Palestinian set menu (to be confirmed!), rooted in family-style eating, celebrating culture, and tradition. In lieu of gifts this year, I’d be so grateful for two things: A note from you — you know I am a words girlie A contribution towards sponsoring a child in Gaza for a full year (it’s $90/month — if you can cover one month, amazing; if not, any amount helps). Thank you for being part of my life. I can’t wait to see you.
