50% of the sale from this shirt will go to a disabled mom named Nara!

I, Sky Cubacub of Rebirth Garments, have been in direct contact with Nara since April 10, 2024. We have become fast friends due to so many overlapping symptoms of our disabilities. Nara’s story caught my eye because I have post-viral ME/CFS which many times is a precursor to MS. Nara is a 33 year old disabled mom of two super cute kiddos who are 7 and 12 year old. She and her husband and kids have gotten enough money for their evacuation, passports and some of her medical treatment, but they need money for their survival in the meantime while the Rafah border is closed. They need to leave Rafah to go somewhere else in Gaza until the border reopens, so they will be using some of their current donation money for those necessities, and we will recoup the costs with this fundraiser auction and party! 

During our chats, I found out from Nara that she had not previously had health issues until she was exposed in the white phosphorus attack in 2008. The long lasting damage and effects of phosphorus continue to compound and become more and more disabling to this day, even after 16 years. 

Nara needs some quick cash ASAP, so this is why I put these shirts up!
