Locally led. The last pot to boil. The last door to shut. A U.S. nonprofit (2024) focused on food, farming & survival in Gaza.

🍲 Gaza Soup Kitchen: Feeding 10,000 People Daily

As famine tightens its grip and markets collapse, Gaza Soup Kitchen is still boiling pots—feeding 1,000 people every day with dignity and determination.

We were the first soup kitchen in North Gaza to lean on local farmers and forage from nature to keep people alive. When others paused, we adapted. When supplies ran out, we improvised.

Today, we operate across 11 kitchens, run a community clinic, and deliver clean water and hot meals to hospitals—even in the hardest-hit zones.

This is survival work, done by people living through the very crisis they’re responding to.

Support the last pots still cooking.

Give Us The Floor nurtures a safe online peer-led community specializing in support for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth in distress.

*If you prefer to contribute by check, please mail to:*
*Give Us The Floor*
*943 Howard Street*
*San Francisco, CA 94103*

Give Us The Floor provides 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and allies in distress with the peer-positive human connection that they are too often missing. Through a safe, inclusive mobile app, youth ages 13 to 17 and young adults ages 18 to 24 can access peer support in a youth-only community, breaking the isolation and shame cycles they are experiencing. Trained youth facilitate the confidential group discussion spaces, and participants help each other with prevalent mental health and social issues such as depression, isolation, anxiety, identity, discrimination, family and school challenges, bullying, relationships, domestic violence, and body image.

Within this supportive community:

- Youth in distress from all backgrounds and locations across the US have 24/7 access to peer support in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment.
- Participants communicate anonymously as often as they wish via closed group chats and discussion channels (no one-on-one communication is possible)
- They share daily life struggles, insights and accomplishments, encourage each other, and provide non-judgmental feedback without fear of stigma, taboo or shame
- Groups are organized by age and primary discussion topic to keep the chats relevant and relatable
- Youth who need adult help are quickly identified and given resources to help them.

Research reveals that increased isolation is contributing to the rapid deterioration of mental health and wellbeing. It’s affecting youth way more than adults: Experiencing social isolation and loneliness [during adolescence/ childhood] increased the risk of depression up to 9 years later. \*

**After only 1 month with Give Us The Floor:**

- **83% of the participants report that they feel less lonely**
- **78% were helped with their struggles**
- **77% feel better about themselves**
- **70% experienced improved mental health**

**You can learn more in our [2024 Impact Report](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/664ad1378953db17c51d91e7/t/67a57e90c7957c5adca2a916/1738899126226/GiveUsTheFloor+2024+Impact+Report_2025.2.5.pdf)

And this support has never been more needed. Some important statistics:

- Nearly 50% of LGBTQ youth age 13-17 seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year and 18% of them did attempt suicide:\*\*
- LGBTQ youth of color reported higher rates than their white peers: 12% of white youth attempted suicide compared to 21% of Native / Indigenous youth, 20% of Middle ------- Eastern / Northern African youth, 19% of Black youth, 17% of multiracial youth, 16% of Latinx youth, and 12% of Asian / Pacific Islander youth\*\*
- LGBTQ youth who had access to spaces that affirmed their sexual orientation and gender identity reported lower rates of attempting suicide \*\*
- 60% of LGBTQ youth who wanted mental health support in the past year were not able to access care, including nearly 3 in 5 transgender youth and more than 3 in 5 cisgender youth\*\*

Your support makes a real difference in a time when mental health resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth face major cuts to programming, or are shutting down altogether. Queer youth are counting on supportive community to be there.

Every contribution is a seed of hope, shaping a more beautiful world for animals and the people who love them. 

**The Beautiful World Project** is created in honor of Ziba — a resilient, beloved dog whose cancer journey has revealed not only the strength of the human-animal bond, but also the extraordinary difference access to care can make for pets and people.

Her story has illuminated both the possibilities of veterinary medicine and the painful truth that many families, despite immense love, are unable to afford those same options. Ziba’s experience has shown that access to care is multi-dimensional: it’s not only about the cost of treatment, but also transportation, time, community support, and the ability to navigate complex systems.

Every pet parent wants to feel that they did everything they can for their beloved companion. Yet far too often, financial and logistical barriers stand in the way.

**The Beautiful World Project** exists to change that, ensuring more families have the care, comfort, and hope they deserve. 

This fund will provide support and financial assistance to families facing difficult decisions for their pets. It helps ensure that more pets receive the care they need — and more people get to hold onto the irreplaceable companionship that makes this world feel beautiful. We hope this fund brings renewed hope and more moments worth celebrating.

Because hope is contagious.

Because love creates possibility.

Because every family deserves to believe they live in a beautiful world where community care thrives and better endings are possible.  

**The Story in Our Name:**
The name *Beautiful World* is inspired by the bond between Ziba and her mom, Sheila Donya.
In Persian, **Ziba** means *beautiful* — and **Donya** means *world.*
Together, they are a Beautiful World.
This fund honors their story by helping others see the beauty, hope, and community around them.

We're a feminist, activist-led fund building collective organized power for migrant justice across and beyond European borders.

SAFE PASSAGE FUND supports the work of grassroots, frontline, and migrant-led initiatives to address the growing phenomenon of forced displacement across and beyond Europe.

We seek to build collectively organized power for migrant justice, envisioning a world where everyone has the freedom to move, to stay, to work, to study, to thrive, and to belong. To do this, we resource grassroots grantee partners who address the root causes and harmful impacts of anti-rights EU migration policies while centering the autonomy of people on the move. All funding is allocated by a rotating Board of voluntary, queer-feminist activists from human rights and migrant justice organizations.

As a project hosted at the infrastructural organisation Civilfleet-Support, we were born naturally from the bottom-up in late 2019. A crowdfunding campaign for the unlawful arrest of a German activist became a tool to democratize the redistribution of wealth within the pan-European migrant justice ecosystem. Your funding ensures that this power-critical, participatory work can continue.
