I am deeply heartbroken… 💔
I try with everything I have to provide food for my children and protect them from feeling need, but reality is stronger than me.
The lack of money has left me helpless in front of their most basic needs…
Their eyes break me, and their hunger hurts me more than anything.
I keep trying and holding on, but I truly need your support.
You are my only hope after God 🙏
Please don’t ignore us… even sharing can help save us.

My dear friends… 💔
I sincerely thank you for your kindness and compassion toward Gaza and its people. I know we have been putting a lot of pressure on you, and sometimes we may feel like we are intruding—but truly, you are our lifeline, the hope we hold onto with everything we have. 🙏
Today, I am in urgent need of your support.
The cost of living has become overwhelming, and my children need summer clothes, school fees, and food.
With the spread of insects, their allergies have worsened painfully, and they are in desperate need of medical treatment that I cannot afford. 😔
Please don’t leave us alone… any support, no matter how small, can make a real difference in our lives.

Everyone has abandoned us in Gaza…
Donations have become the only hope keeping us going through these unbearable days. 💔
My campaign is moving very slowly, and with each passing day, the fear grows as I struggle to provide even the most basic needs for my children—food, medicine, and clothing.
Please don’t leave us alone… your support, no matter how small, can truly make a difference in our lives. 🙏

I feel deeply sad as I write this… 💔
I’ve tried so hard to find people who can support my campaign, but sadly the donations are very limited and not enough to cover our basic monthly needs.
I am responsible for everything: education, medical treatment, food, and clothing… and each day the burden grows heavier 😔
I’m trying to stay strong, but the reality is incredibly difficult.
Please, if you’re reading this, don’t just scroll away 🙏
Even if you can’t donate, sharing this post could truly change my life and my family’s future.
I can’t do this alone… 🤍
Every small contribution makes a real difference.

Hi everyone,

This is my final impact report for the Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal

https://gaza-verified.org/emergecy/

The appeal is now over.

In total, we raised $40,200. Of that we distributed $39002.43 to 17 different families. The rest went to Stripe and Wise (see below for details).

One family was added today and one family was removed from the appeal for misrepresenting their location – they were from Gaza but displaced in Egypt, not displaced in the South as they told us. They got $1,200 of the money that was raised.

Our only expenses were currency conversion and Stripe instant payout fees (we did everything in USD as everyone talks in USD in Gaza. So we got hit by USD→EUR fees as fees came into our account and then EUR→USD before making payments. To add insult to injury some fundraisers were hosting in AUD, EUR, and GBP. We couldn’t use a USD pot in our Wise account to avoid the initial conversion fees as Stripe only offers instant payout on the primary currency.

Today, I withdrew all of the remaining money in Stripe, €5,658.71, which Wise converted to $6,598.07.

This was added to the USD pot in Wise that had $46.33 left from Day 5 (https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/115266523992016921) to give us a total of $6,644.40 to distribute.

We made a distribution plan with @joynewacc and paid out the following amounts:

• @abeerabed22: $2,000 so that her husband and the 7 families they are responsible for can get the tent and land they need complete their evacuation to the South. They were previously paid $3,000, bringing to the total received to $5,000.

• @aseelfromgz: $1,000 in addition to the $1,000 received previously so they can pay for unexpected expenses after paying more transportation that they had planned. They will hopefully be arriving safely in the South today (I know that they left, I haven’t had news from Aseel that they have arrived yet and I am going to breathe easier when I hear that they have).

• @AhmedOuda: $1,000 to help improve their tent.

• @salemgaza: The remaining amount, which was ~$4,019AUD. I had to eyeball the conversion to empty the pot and overshot a little so, in addition to emptying out the $2,632.01 USD pot, ~€4.27 was taken from our own foundation funds (we’ll survive although the accountants are not going to like me very much).

So we’ve now distributed all the money we had.

And the emergency appeal is over.

I want to stress again not only how grateful I am but how much of a change you have made in the lives of the Gaza Verified families.

Multiple families have completed their evacuations South thanks to you. Others are closer to their goals or have land and shelter where they did not before.

I look forward to sharing some of their stories with you in the coming days so you can see the impact of your love and support with your own eyes.

Thank you all so much.

I am going to go sleep a bit now.

Well, after I update the site to add this impact report to it… :)

@joynewacc I’ve now ended the Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal

https://gaza-verified.org/emergency/

Thank you all so much for helping our Gaza Verified families with the evacuations South.

This doesn’t mean that the emergency situation in Gaza is over. Quite on the contrary, things are getting worse every hour. And there are more friends from Palestine entering the fediverse looking for help.

We are going to focus on verifying them and boosting their voices and their individual campaigns.

And you can do so by following them and helping them personally (see https://gaza-verified.org for links to their accounts).

Also, others, like the inspirational @divya have ongoing campaigns to help families in their circle that you can contribute to:

https://sunny.garden/@divya/115282517168973531

I will write up a final impact report after we’ve distributed these latest funds.

And I will share some of the stories of our families who have been able to move South because of your help in the coming days.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to you for your continued support in helping our families in Gaza survive genocide.

Thank you!

@joynewacc Hi everyone,

This is my final push for the Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal.

We are $474 away from our final goal of $40,000.

https://gaza-verified.org/emergency/

This little remaining amount will actually make a difference in being able to help one more family today, so if you can, please support us this one last time for this campaign and let’s hit that final goal.

Thank you!

💕

#GazaVerified #EmergencyAppeal #GazaVerifiedEmergencyAppeal #Gaza #Palestine #fediAid

🥳

More donations have come in and we’ve hit our goal for today to pay @ahmedosama the $600 he needs for land to complete putting up his tent in the South and @mohshbair the $2,000 he needs to escape Israel’s bombs in the North to the relative safety of the South.

Thank you so much!

I will be making the payments shortly and will file my impact report for today (the fifth day of our fundraising) as always.

Heads up: we have new members coming and nearly all are either in the North themselves or have family in Gaza that are. We are gathering their needs today and I will update you (and the site) when we have a better idea of the current state of the campaign. Please do keep sharing and donating if you can as we will need a considerable sum in the coming days and the more there is in the pot, the faster we can help.

https://gaza-verified.org/emergency/

You have no idea how much I appreciate your support for our families in Gaza.

@mohshbair Thank you, we’ve had a few donations come in and now we’re just ~$200 away from our goal for today!

If we can raise that in the next few hours, we can pay @ahmedosama the $600 he needs for land to complete putting up his tent in the South and @mohshbair the $2,000 he needs to escape Israel’s bombs in the North to the relative safety of the South.

As always, on behalf of all our Gaza families, thank you for you amazing support so far.

Please share if you can and let’s make this goal! I really want to see Mohammed to safety and to know that Ahmed’s family has shelter in a safe spot.

@joynewacc Hey everyone,

An update on the Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal to get our families stuck in the danger zone in the North of Gaza to relative safety in the South.

https://gaza-verified.org/emergency/

We’re at 92% of our revised goal of raising $35,000, with $32,313 raised in the last four days, with $29,770.42 of that already distributed to sixteen families.

From our original list, we still have @ahmedosama who needs $600 for land to complete putting up his tent and @mohshbair still needs $2,000 to evacuate to the South.

(See yesterday’s impact report: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/115260771174660351)

I’d love to be able to distribute both of these funds today.

Looking at what’s in the pot today:

What we have: $2,206.87
What we need: $2,600.00

So we still need to raise $393.13 so we can send payments to Ahmed and Mohammed today.

Can we make this happen in the next few hours?

https://gaza-verified.org/emergency/

Thank you so much for sharing this and helping out if you can!

@joynewacc Hey everyone, here’s my Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal (https://gaza-verified.org/emergency) Impact Report for Day 4:

Today the £5,000 donation we were waiting for by bank transfer came in (thank you so much, anonymous donor) :)

From this, I took the €850 we had used of our own funds (see https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/115254558184817053) to pay for Salem’s tent in Euros back into the foundation’s Euro account. The remaining amount was converted by Wise and added to the USD account and came to $5,712.62.

We also had 256.55 in the USD pot from yesterday from unspent donations. (I saw that two of our foundation payments, for $4.99 and $25 came out of the USD pot so I converted enough EUR from our foundation’s main balance to put that back in.)

I also withdrew the entire EUR pot in our Stripe account, which came to €1,386.94 and was converted in Wise to $1,622.42.

So the combination of these amounts ($5,712.62 + $256.55 + $1,622.42) gave us a total of $7,591.59 to distribute today.

And this is how we distributed it:

• @shathamohammed123: We thought Shatha had asked for $1,200 for the tent but she thought she was asking for €1,200 because her fundraiser is in EUR. Anyway, we paid her $1,200 yesterday. I made a payment for €200 temporarily from our own funds to top up what we had to spend today so more families could be paid. Paying in Euros also meant no currency conversion fees. I will replace this amount from future donations. (Total paid: ~€1,200.)

• @baraaelmoghrabi: The remaining $2,400 to cover cost of tent and land after earlier payment of $2,000 to cover transportation South. I only recently learned that Baraa’s family is actually four families and about 20 people. (Total paid: $4,400.)

• @Abdullahawwad: The remaining $1,000 for his evacuation South after the same amount earlier. I wanted to complete this payment yesterday but PayPal limited my card. They were able to enable credit/debit cards on Abdullah’s fundraiser and I was able to made the additional payment today. (Total paid: $2,000.)

• @emanahmed: Eman and her family of 8 were facing eviction after being displaced South. We paid her $1,300 today to cover rent and essential renovations on the house.

• @reem_osama Reem was stuck in one of the worst parts of the North and on the streets with her family. She is @Sakhergaza13’s fiancee and neither he nor I could reach her earlier. Once we got word she was all right and what she and her family needed (for transport, land, and shelter) we sent her the full amount of $3,000 to get them out as soon as possible. Tomorrow is her birthday. We hope that she can spend it with Sakher in the South tomorrow or at least very soon after.

The total payouts today came to $7,700 USD + €200. (I topped up the USD amount with $108.41 from the foundation’s own money temporarily so we could make the payments. We will return that to the foundation in the coming days as more donations come in.)

In the last four days, we’ve distributed $29,770.42 to sixteen families in Gaza.

At this point, it looks like we have $2,600 more to raise and pay out so Ahmed Osama’s family can get some land for the their tent and $2,000 left to give to Mohammed so he can evacuate South.

We also have new members coming – some of whom are trapped in the North – and, as people get South, they might have new expenses.

So I’ve raised our goal to $35,000 and we will continue the campaign.

And I will introduce you to our new members soon.

Thank you all again for your tremendous support.

You are saving the lives of whole families in Gaza and I love you for it.

Hey everyone,

I finally managed to find a few moments to update the Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal site to better reflect the current state of the campaign (and to fix a couple of little niggles and improve my admin page):

https://gaza-verified.org/emergency/

By my records, we are now helping sixteen of our families – up from eight when we launch it over the weekend – with various aspects of moving out from under Israel’s bombs in the North to the relative safety of the South. For some, this includes getting them the money for transportation, land, and a tent and for some it’s a subset of those (e.g., some have already moved South but urgently need land or a tent.)

We’re also at a point right now where we are distributing all donated funds every day.

(And we could use a bit more today, if possible.) :)

I will update the financials for today once I’ve had a chance to get to that. (Right now, I have to pop home to cook lunch as it’s my turn to do so) :)

After lunch, @joynewacc and I have four verification video chats to make to hopefully welcome four new families to Gaza Verified. (We also have two already lined up for tomorrow and room for two more.

After that, I will update the financials, withdraw today’s monies, come up with a distribution plan for today with Joy, and make today’s payments.

Finally, I’m going to write up and publish our impact report for today (the first three day’s impact reports are linked to from the site now).

Thank you all for your continuing support.

Your donations are having an immediate impact in the lives of our families.

You are helping save lives.

💕

#GazaVerified #EmergencyAppeal #GazaVerifiedEmergencyAppeal #Gaza #Palestine #fediAid

@joynewacc Hi everyone, here’s a quick impact report to you at the end of the second 24 hours of our Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal:

https://gaza-verified.org/emergency/

You can find the first day’s report here:
https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/115243292568435455

We’ve raised $21,354.30 out of our revised goal of $20,000.

Thank you all so much for your continued support!

Today, I was able to withdraw another €7,500 from our Stripe account. Yesterday, since I’d temporarily used €547.65 of our own money, I reduced the amount by that much today, giving us €6,952.35. Using our Wise account we were able to convert that to $8,152.03 USD.

We also received a donation in Ethereum from an anonymous donor last night that I was able to convert to ~$600 USD today (there is still ~€60 worth of the ETH from the donation in the Kraken account). Adding this on gave us $8,752.03 to work with.

With that, Joy and I came up with a distribution plan to get funds to those in most need and to the largest number of families possible.

As such, today’s payments went to:

• @ahmedosama: $600 for a tent.

• @doaagaza: $1,000 for a tent (we’d paid for her transportation yesterday; the tent cost was communicated to us later).

• @abeerabed22: $3,000 for transportation South, tent, and land.

• @mittall: $500 for land (we’d paid him for a tent yesterday; the land cost which was communicated to us later).

• @Abdullahawwad: $1,000 for evacuation South. Abdullah needs $2,000 in total to evacuate but PayPal only allowed me to transfer $1,000. This is a daily limit I’ve hit before while trying to donate. I will transfer the remaining $1,000 tomorrow.

• @aseelfromgz: $1,035.51 remaining on amounts raised earlier for evacuation South. (The $35.51 is for PayPal so she gets exactly $1,000. Well, she’ll get ~60% of that when the local money sharks in Gaza take their 40% but we factor this into things.)

• @Salem_family: $1,000.00 for a tent in the South. (I’m trying to keep everything in USD since that’s what everyone uses in Gaza but I had to make this donation in Euros as the Dutch fundraising site steunactie.nl does not offer a USD option. This came out of our own funds in our Euro account so I will be taking that amount out of tomorrow’s Stripe withdrawal. It also means that our USD account, which is solely being used for Gaza Verified donations, still has $605.85 USD in it, which will be used in tomorrow’s distribution.)

• @Dr_Nadeen98: $1,000 to purchase/build sanitation for their place in the South (realised later that commission costs were *not* factored into this so we will find out how much more is necessary and cover it this week, hopefully. Also, Nadeen needs funds this week in order to pay his university tuition so she can graduate as a dentist in a year’s time. I’m waiting for the amount of the tuition so we can hopefully help with that too.)

There are a couple of challenges I’m encountering while making donations and if there are people from these companies on here who can raise the issues internally or get in touch with us to make things easier, I would appreciate it:

1. PayPal: $1,000 daily limit when paying by credit card.

2. GoFundMe will not allow me to pay in USD unless I use my VPN and pretend I’m in the US. Today, one of the pages showed me a 502 Bad Gateway error which I suspect was the US node on my VPN getting flagged. I tried a node in a different city and it worked. I’m worried this might become an issue in the future.

3. Some Chuffed campaigns only accept PayPal. See problem 1.

4. Stripe is working great for us but I can only withdraw €7,500 a day. That said, I’m thankful there’s an instant payout option.

In total, we distributed $9,100 dollars to 8 families today and that will get them three tents, land, sanitation, and one full evacuation (transport, land, and tent). The total number of families we’re helping with this emergency appeal is now more than 8 but I haven’t had time to update the site because of all the other work I have to do. We also have two families we cannot reach at the moment who are in the North and yes, we’re really worried.

I’m going to keep the fundraiser going, so please do share it with your friends and help if you can. It’s a rapidly evolving situation and the more we have in the pot, the better.

Hopefully when we hear back from the two families we can’t reach, I can update the target amount accordingly. Eventually, I hope we can evolve this into an ongoing effort that meets the survival needs of all our Gaza Verified families.

We also had a donor who wishes to remain anonymous and pay by bank transfer begin a transfer for £5,000 today so I will update the amount on the site manually when that comes in (thank you so, so much, dear anonymous donor) :)

Thank you all again for making this possible and for showing our Palestinian families that you stand with them in their darkest hour.

I am so proud of all of you!

Folks, a quick update on my plans for today regarding the Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal we’re launching today.

• The site is ready (as it’ll be, we can improve as we go).
• Updates to Small Technology Foundation site to suspend our own fundraising and forward to the emergency appeal are also ready to deploy
• I also made a simple call to action SVG with a basic image embed code that you can add to your sites. More info when appeal launches.
• The amount we’ve been able to gather from people we’ve been able to reach is ~$12,700. I’m thinking that we’ll round that up to $15,000 so we have some padding to account for constantly rising prices on the ground and to account for a rapidly evolving situation. (@joynewacc’s been doing an amazing job with this in the middle of everything else and I just want to express again my immense respect for her.)

I also need to pick up Laura from the airport. She’s scheduled to arrive before 3PM Irish Time so, barring any delays, I aim to be back and launch the campaign at around 5PM Irish Time (which should be good for the European and American time zones).

That said, Dublin Airport has been evacuated due a security threat (https://www.rte.ie/news/2025/0920/1534475-dublin-airport-evacuation/) and if there are delays, I might launch it before I leave for the airport.

Will need your help to spread the word when I do.

I’ll keep you updated.

Thank you all for your amazing support so far.
