About this Event
Join us for an evening of community, reflection, and action.
We'll hear firsthand from Sandra Adler Killen, a local lactation consultant who recently returned from her third month long medical mission in Gaza, where she worked with newborns and mothers facing unimaginable conditions. Sandra is in touch with her collegues in Gaza on a daily base and will share first hand accounts of what is happening on the ground and how we an help.
This gathering is a fundraiser for the Gaza Infant Nutrition Alliance, the initiative Sandra partnered with to support medics and mothers on the ground in Gaza. Donations are accepted through , the NGO facilitating this critical relief work.
This is also a space to come together, hold our collective grief, and explore how we can meaningfully show up in response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
💛 All proceeds go directly to Doctors Worldwide in support of the Gaza Infant Nutrition Alliance. You can donate directly at:
