Manal Abdalqader Jaber, 40, Gaza, Palestine, mother of Ismail

Manal Abdalqader Jaber, 40, from Gaza, Palestine, and I connected a short time ago, and I’m honored and looking forward to sharing a piece I wrote about her tomorrow, but first I am honored and proud to share one of the best sources of encouragement I’ve ever received from her son, Ismail, on his birthday not long ago.

Ismail’s a hero of mine, and I’m glad I can help him by getting more attention and engagement on Manal’s Chuffed fundraiser.

More to come very soon, stay mindful and kind and free Palestine.
