As a mother and healthcare worker, I am heartbroken like so many who have wrestled with helplessness and the dissonance of carrying on as normal while there is continued pain and suffering in Palestine. It became vital for me turn this shared grief into determination so as to help those in desperate need.

How blessed we are to have the freedom to use our creativity for good. Yet it sits as a responsibility to raise our voice for the helpless and voiceless which I try through poetry and music.

“Let us bear witness, and sing for peace, freedom and healing.”

I am so grateful to you for taking the time to visit this Justgiving page and joining me to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) a British registered Charity as they help preserve life and dignity, reinforce and rebuild the healthcare infrastructure that is so devasted and destroyed in Palestine.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

When we all become Falesteen

And hear the red butterfly’s scream

The earth shall tilt its drowsy head

‘No butterfly should have this way bled’
