Nan Goldin on her donation
“I can never forget the children of Gaza and I am grateful to be allowed this opportunity to help them in some meaningful way. The war on Gaza is a war on children wiping out multiple generations, erasing the future. According to Unicef, in the last two years more than 64,000 children have been killed or maimed. I witness the constant terror the children in Gaza live with, while supporting their families and taking on adult roles, but I also see the joy in their faces; graduating from school, singing together, and learning to love and rescue animals. The children who survive will need to be nurtured and learn to hope, after living through such unimaginable horrors." - Nan Goldin, New York City, 2026
