If you don’t already know, many Palestinians use social media as a lifeline to reach out for help. That’s how we met Amany. What began as a call for support has now grown into a friendship. We text almost every day.

Despite the harsh reality she’s living through, Amany insists on not relying solely on donations. That’s why we started this little project together, giving her work a small corner in our store. I’ll keep updating this page with new stories, real pictures, and our conversations.

You can follow along on Instagram @12am.crafts for business updates and @bigbromad for more personal updates.

We’re not alone in this effort. Many others are supporting Palestinian families in their own way. One inspiring account is @byummughaz, who has also been supporting Amany and played a big role in bringing this project to life. Check out her highlights for plenty of updates about Amany and other families she’s helping!
