Hi all,

I'm late with my update. I have had a difficult run of things lately, with a lot of illness in the family, and it delayed this update by a whole month. I'm very sorry about that. 

Donation Receipts

1. PCRF

After asking some people, I chose the PCRF (Palestine Children's Relief Fund) to be the recipient of a donation equal to the amount I've raised on this project (plus a little extra to cover the admin fees). In the end this came out to $245.59 (USD). US Residents get a tax receipt, so definitely consider giving if you're in the US.

2. eSIMs for Gaza (Crips 

In addition, I made a $100 (CAD) donation to Crips for eSims for Gaza. It was super easy and it's good to know that the funds are being used to help Palestinians TODAY.

The Genocide in Palestine, Today

The situation in Palestine right now is unlike anything I could ever have imagined. The depths of cruelty the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime has sunk to are truly unfathomable. I've read CONSERVATIVE that place the death toll at over 350,000 (https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bf4mfymnmn4t1wyvdkx4h/Letter.pdf?rlkey=z3ekl4u9gt...). This estimate is based on a direct death toll of over 90K and at least an additional 3 times that in deaths by starvation, disease...

I've cried MANY times for Palestine. These days I find myself crying every day for what the Palestinians are being subjected to.  But this isn't about me. As long as I have the privilege of a solid roof over my head, I won't give in to despair. I will cry, but I will fight.

Where You Can Donate To

Gaza Funds

https://gazafunds.com/

This site collects Chuffed and GoFundMe projects to give directly to Palestinians in need. In many cases these are life saving exit funds. Please consider donating: https://gazafunds.com/all

eSIMs for Gaza

Crips for eSIMs for Gaza

There's a few options for eSims for Gaza. I chose Crips For eSims for Gaza (https://chuffed.org/project/crips-for-esims-for-gaza) because it was super-easy to make the donation via interac e-transfer in Canada. That said, the next option may be of more interest to you... 

Cartoonist Cooperative Charitable Promotion: Donate eSIMS to Gaza in exchange for art

If you follow the steps on this site (https://cartoonistcoop.notion.site/Cartoonist-Cooperative-Buy-an-E-Sim-for-Gaza-... ) you can get some custom character art (or other art) by one of the many skilled artists who's donating their time to the cause!

Game Progress

I have made very little progress over the past month. I made a little more last month, but this month has been overwhelming with other issues. I hope to be able to get back to it soon. It's difficult when I can't devote my full time and attention to it.

If you wanna chat about the game or anything else, swing on by the Discord: https://discord.gg/WNVPUsgG

Love,
Roman
