Healing Hands

Hosted by · Dr. Ferrukh Faruqui

Healing Hands is a fundraiser grounded in collective responsibility to turn expertise into sustained support for healthcare in Palestine.

Across Gaza, Palestinian healthcare workers continue to care for their communities under unimaginable conditions. Together with Alana Hadid and Tommy Marcus, we're raising $30,000 USD to fund one month of Glia's Complex Wound Care Services at Nasser Hospital. Every donation helps restore care where it is needed most. This initiative is part of Glia's broader Restoring Care Campaign.
