Ms. Rachel pledges $1 million to Gaza children charity, matching Macklemore donation
Ms. Rachel, whose given name is Rachel Accurso, has been a vocal activist for Gazan children since the outset of the Israel-Hamas war and has held several fundraisers to aid the people in Gaza.
Children's entertainer Ms. Rachel, also known as Rachel Accurso, pledged to donate $1 million to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) on Thursday, matching the same amount donated by rapper Macklemore. Macklemore's donation, which accounted for his total net earnings from the Ed Sheeran Loop Tour, was shared among several organizations, including PCRF, HEAL Palestine, Gaza Soup Kitchen, Medical Aid for Palestinians, UNRWA, and Anera.
The singer was dropped from Sheeran's tour in 2023 due to comments criticizing Israel's military assault on Gaza. US billionaire Robert Kraft barred Macklemore from performing at Gillette Stadium due to accusations of antisemitism, which Macklemore denies. Ms. Rachel, a vocal activist for Gazan children since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war, has launched multiple fundraisers to aid the people in Gaza.
She created the latest fundraiser in May 2024, aiming to benefit children in conflict areas, including Gaza, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ukraine. In January 2026, Ms. Rachel faced accusations of antisemitism after appearing to endorse an antisemitic comment on her Instagram post. She later apologized for the incident.
