Help me raise funds to support emergency responses assisting in disasters all around the world!


What's the issue?

Over the last few years, communities around the world have faced catastrophic calamities. Whether it has been the recent COVID-19 pandemic, Australia Bushfires, Rohingya Emergency, Syria Refugee Crisis, or Hurricane Maria - there is a need to support individuals around the world facing hardship. 



How will this campaign help solve the problem?

Through this campaign, we hope to provide relief to individuals around the world who are facing hardship through certain calamities. Through this campaign, we hope to provide hygiene kits, testing kits, food packs, financial assistance, or protective medical equipment to individuals who are in need.



Why am I doing this campaign?

As a nursing student, caring for communities at large means to care for every aspect of their lives. I'm doing this campaign because I believe that the human rights to access like food, financial stability, hygiene, etc. are all vital components to optimal well-being. During these heavy, difficult times, we must not allow them to limit ourselves from helping one another. 

We're one human family; what affects one person affects all of us. 


​People in which countries will receive this support?

People facing calamities in the US, Gaza, Indonesia, Palestine, Australia, Rohingya, Bahamans, Yemen, and Syria will receive this support.


What exactly will you be providing these individuals with?

Items supplied varied by the region, but below is a list of supplies that can be offered to these individuals:


  • Food Pack - A serving of food with tomato paste, rice, oil, and spices that feed anywhere from one individual to one family.
  • Hygiene Kit - A hygiene pack with soaps and shampoos for individuals to maintain proper hygiene during these tough times.
  • Coronavirus Testing Kits - Testing kits for individuals that show symptoms of having COVID-19.
  • Protective Medical Equipment - For our frontline supporters this medical equipment will allow for them to do their jobs while helping those in need and staying protected.
  • Financial Assistance - At times, individuals will require financial assistance to get them back on their feet. For those individuals, we can provide grants.



Will this initiative be carried out by a trusted non-profit?

Yes! This initiative is partnered with Penny Appeal USA. Founded in 2009 in the UK, Penny Appeal has been a leader in the non profit sector providing support in 30+ countries worldwide. Penny Appeal USA, just last year, supported 80,000+ individuals around the world through their disaster response program. If you have any questions about Penny Appeal USA, please see their recent Annual Report.

You made my Ramadan

I hope this message finds you well. I want to take a moment to express an update on my campaign. 


As part of the #TeamOrange Challengers with Penny Appeal USA, I've been honored with the opportunity to help provide kids overseas in Syria, Yemen, Palestine, Burma, Australia, and here at home with food and water packages, hygiene products, and other essentials during such dire times in combating COVID-19. This campaign has been near and dear to my heart and I wanted to take the moment to thank you for being part of this heart-warming journey this Ramadan. 


There's no doubt that this Ramadan has been the most challenging for Muslims like myself and my fellow #TeamOrange members. However, we overcame and as a collective, we were able to raise $96,882 towards some of the world's most important causes. THAT. IS. AMAZING. 


Your donation will reach multitudes and I can't thank you enough for your kindness and generosity, especially in such unforeseen circumstances. It means a lot. 


Sincerely,


Lelana Murry <3
