“Signed books and rare merchandise” – Alice Oseman
In a statement, Alice said: “I am so pleased to present a fundraiser for Save the Children’s Gaza Emergency Appeal, which is providing urgent aid to children and families suffering due to the ongoing situation in Gaza. Signed books, rare merchandise, and a chance to win an original drawing by me will be available until 17 May.”
Lisa Aubrey, Director of Regional Fundraising, at Save the Children UK, added: “We are incredibly grateful to Alice for setting up this one-of-a-kind fundraiser, which is already proving incredibly popular.
“Civilians in Gaza are being left without protection and are paying the heaviest price for the ongoing violence. Save the Children is calling for an immediate, definitive ceasefire to save and protect the lives of children in Gaza.
“This money raised will go towards our Gaza Emergency Appeal to support our teams who are on the ground working with children and families whose lives have been devastated by the conflict in Gaza.”
