Hi everyone,

I’ve just launched the Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal to get our remaining 8 families who are stuck in the danger zone in the North to relative safety in the South.

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

Based on conversations @joynewacc and I have had with them to ascertain what they need (transport, land, tents), we have set the campaign goal at $15,000.

To kick things off, I’ve made a personal donation of $1,000.

These families are living in terror under nightly bombings by Israel. Please, if you can, help them survive Israel’s ongoing genocide. And please share this as widely as you can.

Thank you!

💕

PS. The donations are being collected by our not-for-profit, Small Technology Foundation and the entire sum, minus Stripe’s fees, will be transferred to the individual fundraisers of the families. We have suspended our own fundraising for Small Technology Foundation for the duration of the emergency appeal (https://small-tech.org/fund-us/).

PS. If you keep the campaign page open, you will see the progress meter update and donations coming in in real time.

@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.

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!

@aral looks like you made it! are you still taking donations past 40K?

@bnys Oh wow, yes, thanks for the heads up!

I’m going to close it now but any money that comes in before I manage to do so will also be distributed today :)

@aral @bnys are you planning any more of these in the future? Thank you for the work you've done on this, I'm one of those people who never donated to Gaza fundraisers before Gaza Verified, since they're all in someone else's name (understandable), and sadly scammers are better equipped for outreach than actual people suffering.
@virtulis @aral @bnys
Same here. I would never before donate as I couldn't tell real stories from scammers. Thanks for your work and giving us confidence to donate. Thanks for helping the people of Palestine.

@Sarahw @virtulis @bnys Thank you so much for standing by them.
