Let’s help someone today
Hello.
I want to tell you about Taysir today. And let me start by telling you right off the bat that that I've never met Taysir, and I may never meet him, although I hope to. I know of Taysir through my friend Jeff Wishnie. They met in Gaza a while back when they were both working for MercyCorps. They’re both nerds. Jeff and Taysir were setting up digital infrastructure in Gaza. This was important because for most Gazans this was the only way out, the only way to connect to the world. For many Gazans, the only way to make a living.
They both eventually left that job. Jeff came back stateside. Taysir stayed in Gaza because Gaza was his home, and he continued the work of helping Gazans.
Now we need to help Taysir. Taysir and his immediate family were able to flee to Egypt in November, but the rest of his family is still trapped in Gaza.
Jeff has started a GoFundMe to help Taysir. If you can help, please do. If you can donate $10 that’s amazing. If you can donate $20 that’s amazing too. $50? Bring it. Everything helps. And even if you can’t donate, please consider sharing the link out.
I love you all. You’re good people.
Mike
