We adore our 130+ year old South Philly rowhome, but keeping it up takes a lot of work. We’ve already done major repairs, including the electrical system, the roof, the front brick facade, and the HVAC. And there’s more to come! We plan on improving the kitchen (dishwasher, functioning microwave, fixing the slowly-sinking floor), upgrading the bathrooms (fixing the tiling, installing a new shower and a bathtub we can properly lie down in), and in our dreams, adding a functioning fireplace!

We are excited to plan a honeymoon in early 2027 – we’ve been longing to get to Trinidad and Tobago, and this may be the time. Our various art, music, video, writing, and organizing projects also often put us on the road to various parts of New England, Appalachia, the Deep South, and the Midwest. This coming year we’re planning to venture as far as Texas and possibly California, and with any luck, in the next few years we’ll get to Lithuania, Poland, and Mexico. Help us get there!

Combatants for Peace is a grassroots organization of Israelis and Palestinians, working together nonviolently protect residents in danger of losing their homes, document human rights abuses, provide opportunities for dialogue and cultural exchange, offer education in organizing and advocacy, hold joint demonstrations and memorial ceremonies, and make theater and art. We both know people connected with Combatants for Peace, and we would be honored to have your help in offering them support.
