Liberating our minds will lead to Liberating Palestine 🕊🇵🇸

A dream manifested so beautifully. Psychology Spa is the first specialized non-profit company in Psychoeducation in Palestine since 2016 founded by Jumana Kaplanian. I had the honor of meeting Jumana in April and immediately felt a special bond, her pure heart, my Palestinian angel is what I call her.

I came to find out that she is in a place where she is uncertain if the economic and inhumane conditions will allow her to keep operating. This is one of the only places in Palestine that offers free therapy to all walks of Palestinian life. A non-profit that deserves love and support. Jumana the creator of the Psychology Spa has dedicated her life to serving our people's mental stability and it has always been her dream to create a safe place for people who have never had the “privilege” of even knowing what a therapist is. This is something that is so essential in our home.

100% of your donations will support Jumana and her efforts to help heal and empower the people of Palestine. 

Rebuilding Jenin : The Aftermath / Urgent support needed

Urgent!! I’m calling on all my supporters and all humans with compassionate hearts to help support in rebuilding the aftermath of this brutal attack on the Jenin refugee camp.

My heart has been so heavy as this hits different since it has devastated the homes and hearts of the beautiful and resilient women that work with me in providing the most beautiful hand embroidery, made for you all. This has been all too overwhelming to watch, imagine what it’s like to live this reality.

I am sharing images and video footage straight from my team in Jenin, per my request, because I knew I had to do something to support them. They want their story to be told and for the world not to forget them. I am not sharing their names for their own protection, I hope you understand.

You will find a video of Ghazal, 8 years old, the daughter of a single mother of two children, living in the Jenin refugee camp, who works with me. She explains the brutality of what happened to her mother during the raid and invasion of their home. Her mother was forced into a dark room with IOF dogs terrorizing her and ripping her dress with their teeth, she was also used as a human shield by the Israeli military and fainted from the trauma and woke up in the hospital. She is now struggling to work so that she can support her children and provide them with food and stability. This story is real and there are plenty more like it unfortunately.

Another very talented elder who embroiders for me had to flee her home, it was struck by three rockets and completely destroyed. She had to take shelter at the nearby hospital while this brutality was taking place. Now she not only needs to rebuild her home but also rebuild her mental and physical health. This is not the first time Jenin has been targeted. Can you imagine having to flee your home over and over again and experience trauma after trauma?

Amongst the stories I shared, children have been murdered, ambulances have been prevented from reaching the wounded, thousands had to flee from their homes, the continuation of the Nakba (Catastrophe), electricity, water and internet were shut off. These are human beings , let’s not go numb to their suffering.

Please donate what you can and together we can help rebuild the communities and the spirit of Jenin. The people of Jenin never cease to inspire me with their resilience and courage to keep fighting, to keep living, to even have the determination to be joyous. Help us share their stories and make a positive impact.

The cat above used to be white before the bombing. The destruction of homes and the cars. The last photo is a picture of my mother an my aunt while visiting my team last year in the Jenin refugee camp, this was before the attack, you can notice the blue planters and to the left you can see the aftermath.
