Note to Maya, note to humanity...

We stood together in solidarity, refusing to be mere spectators. We marched and raised our voices, chanting: free Palestine. Our choices spoke volumes as we boycotted certain brands and supported local alternatives, showing that our economic power can make a difference. We gave to NGOs like IHH and reached out directly to individuals, such as Afra from Jabalia refugee camp, forming personal bonds that transcend borders. We sent essential resources, like water, to offer a lifeline and hope.

At our dinner tables, conversations about your struggle taught our children the values of gratitude and empathy. In our prayers, we sought to embody your resilience and honor your sacrifices. While acknowledging the imperfections among us all, we affirm that no one deserves to be a target of mass violence without justice.

Your legacy endures in our hearts and souls, a testament to your strength and the universal pursuit of peace and justice.
