About:
Hala Magdy El-Nabeeh is an English student and aspiring teacher at Al-Aqsa University, Gaza. She's created both the text and the graphic design for her first zine, the story of 'mothers who placed their children in the earth with hands trembling with hunger'. Her UK-based friend, Cee Sullivan, is offering printed copies to showcase Hala's talents and raise funds for her survival and education.
In exchange for donations to Hala's fundraiser page, we're offering professionally printed, full-colour, staple-bound 20 page zines, printed on eco-friendly recycled paper.
For UK residents, we ask you to contribute £2 separately towards postage through a card payment link.
Please contact cardsacrossborders@gmail.com to confirm postage before ordering physical items if you are based outside the UK. We're happy to post overseas, but will need to request a higher postage contribution - this is usually £4 for European orders or £6 for other locations, but may be higher if you are ordering a larger volume
We can also offer digital files of Hala's work, for personal use.
We've set a minimum suggested donation amount, but please give any amount you can. Your contributions are a vital lifeline to help Hala and her family survive and give her the chance of continuing her education.
Please follow Hala on social media for updates: @Hala21306
This form was designed using a template by Divya Persaud. See her own donation-based shop for other opportunities to directly support families in Gaza.
How it works:
1. Choose the number of zines you want to buy. This form will automatically update to show you the minimum requested donation amount, based on the items you choose.
2. Donate the total to Hala's fundraiser page. (Please note: Chuffed automatically adds a tip, but Hala does NOT receive these funds - they are used to cover Chuffed platform fees. We recommend that you select 'Other' and write '£0' in the 'tip' box)
3. Take a screenshot of the receipt after donating.
4. If ordering a physical item, please make a postage and packing contribution separately to Hala's friend through the following link: Hala's postage costs.
