Our sweet Soben Ocean Cheam made his way earth side February 24, 2024 in the comfort of our home in Seattle, Washington.

សុបិន្ត or Soben means "dream" in Khmer. 

We’re so grateful for our tribe of family, friends and caregivers who created a safe space to birth at home, counseled us through medical decisions and helped provide all the supplies, food and love. 

As we welcome our sweet Soben, thousands of young children and families in Palestine are being torn apart.

We dream of a world free of colonial opression and we know that our liberation struggles are linked.

A free world means infants in Palestine can live past a week and mothers have access to safe birthing conditions.

It is and has been our dream to see a Free Palestine.

In honor of Soben's arrival, we're asking to support our fundraiser for the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF).

The PCRF provides urgent humanitarian and medical aid to injured and sick children in Gaza.

Thank you community 🫶🏾

The PCRF is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 by concerned people to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sect.

The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF  is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
