Current Fundraiser
September 1, 2025 - September 30, 2025: Woke Up Angry studio updates
Since our opening in November 2024, Woke Up Angry has seen a huge amount of support that AJ's existing makeshift studio wasn't prepared to take on. Throughout the month of September, all profits will be retained by Woke Up Angry to cover the costs of necessary studio upgrades so that AJ can keep working on future fundraisers more safely and efficiently. A necessary upgrade already purchased was a new pottery wheel, which AJ would like to pay off ASAP. The studio is also in need of better shelving and organization, a second workbench, assorted tools to make work faster and more consistent, and a utility sink clay trap upgrade to protect the plumbing in AJ's home :)

July 4, 2025 - July 20, 2025: Palestine Children's Relief Fund - COMPLETE
The Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sects. The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. The PCRF locates, sponsors, and runs international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East.
