Ramy’s 30th birthday fundraiser for Yemen

Hello. If you’re reading this, chances are high that you love me, like me, or at the very least don’t hate me. If you fall into any of those groups, please consider helping me with something very urgent and very important. For my 30th birthday, I want to raise $3,000 to help the people of Yemen, who are in the midst of one of the worst humanitarian crises in history. Years of brutal war, economic stagnation, and now a pandemic of historic magnitude have driven millions of people to famine, and basic supplies are bare.

30 years ago, my parents made the difficult decision to start a Yemeni family in America, far away from their home, their culture, and the rest of their family. Please join me in giving back to the people that raised them and made all of it possible. All proceeds go to Yemen Aid, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping provide the people of Yemen with the basic supplies to survive. 

And if you're feeling extra generous, set up a recurring donation to Yemen Aid, Yemen Foundation, or any credible organization that's providing direct aid to the people of Yemen. If you need any help figuring out where to donate, don't hesitate to reach out. 

*P.S. While I have your attention, here are 142 ways you can donate  in support of Black lives and communities of color in the U.S.
