The poem fragment I used here is from "Silence for Gaza" by Mahmoud Darwish (the poem is from 1973 but could have been written yesterday, I recommend you check it out). Stickers with this sort of vintage scrapbooking look seem popular right now, so I wanted to make a version for Gaza for my fundraiser. Products with this design can be found here.

As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my designs are for my Palestinian best friend to help him support his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.

Here are some product examples, again see here for all options (also shirts/hoodies have many color options besides the default if you click on them):

You can find my full shop here. To see a design on different products click on the display product and scroll down or go here to browse by design. Here is a sample of some of the other designs I have:

I have 161 designs and counting, I'm making new ones at least a few times a week so check back if you don't see anything you like yet. I'm not going to stop adding stuff until everyone my friend loves is safe. Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!
