We've reached our initial goal of $5,000 (thank you!), so now we're going for $7,000!

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

—James Baldwin

As a collective of children's book creators, we believe "the children are always ours" and at the center of all we do. To that end, in order to join us for our inaugural Story Sunbirds Summit on October 4th, a full day of panels, events, and community spaces, we're asking that you donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) for children in Gaza to register. 

PCRF has provided medical care to children since 1991. They are currently working in Gaza: “PCRF is on the ground, providing urgent medical aid, food, and life-saving treatment to those in desperate need, including orphans and amputees. We are also deploying international medical teams, evacuating injured children for specialized care, and rebuilding healthcare facilities to restore critical services.”

Please give what you can, but our suggested donation is $15 per program or $75 for the entire Summit.

No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Please email us at storysunbirds@gmail.com if cost is a barrier to your attendance.

Simply donate on this page and then upload a screenshot of your donation at our registration page. And thank you for being part of this Summit! We hope you'll join us to convene and grow around creating and making books for all children, to be in community around shared values, and to raise funds for Palestinian kids.

Please remember to visit our registration page again after you donate in order to submit and get signed-up. Thank you! 

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.
