This is the most authentic list, and its credibility is beyond question.
Myself and a few others appear as the head and members of this blog. In reality, there is another man behind this blog who singlehandedly carried out the mission. The rest of us were honorary members, helping to set general rules and define the founding tasks of this blog.
When he tried to get his daughter’s campaign verified, none of the moderators responded for a long time, and he found dozens of others in a similar situation who couldn’t get their campaigns documented, with no one to assist or respond to them.
He met with me, with the team’s knowledge, and agreed to work professionally to document, verify, and confirm the validity of each campaign through personal calls. His work ultimately helped around 400 families. He even insisted that only campaigns from within Gaza be added unless a person explicitly stated in their GoFundMe campaign that they were outside Gaza.
In my opinion, he created the most genuine list of verified campaigns.
All of this was done by him as a hidden soldier, and even his daughter’s campaign was just one among many, receiving no special treatment due to his focus on documenting others’ campaigns. His work involved overseeing the blog, managing messages, scheduling calls, setting appointments with individuals, checking each campaign’s authenticity, offering advice, and providing feedback to those with errors in their campaigns.
This hidden soldier faced pressures from both the war and the workload, setting aside his own daughter’s campaign to serve a higher purpose, knowing many others were in need of help.
After all that, just three days ago, this hidden soldier came to realize, upon analyzing the current situation, that some campaigners have begun adopting tactics that undermine their dignity and value to gain attention from large blog owners who will publish and write about them. He decided he would not compete or compromise his dignity by participating in this. The whole matter felt discouraging and unfair.
1. This list is the most authentic, as every name on it was meticulously verified through personal calls and even private meetings to ensure each campaign's validity. No one dishonest was added.
2. This blog post reflects the frustration of this hidden soldier with the opposite reality—some campaigners have decided to adopt cheap tactics to gain recognition.
3. The soldier is frustrated, refusing to undermine his dignity to get his daughter’s campaign promoted through disreputable means. This would be against his values and self-respect.
4. Tomorrow, we will try to support this hidden soldier and alleviate some of the pressure he faces. We will seek solutions that allow people to present their campaigns with dignity.
5. Those whose campaigns are verified or awaiting verification should not worry—everything will be fine.
6. Anyone wishing to acknowledge and uplift this hidden soldier, or let him know he can work on his daughter's campaign without compromising his dignity, may contact the blogs I will list.

Because my blog has been restricted from sending and receiving messages and questions.
I know that the consequences of what happened are concerning, and it was not the best approach. But personally, I also care about this person—the hidden soldier. He is human too, with moments of success, mistakes, frustrations, and pressures. We might all be part of the cause, whether as campaign owners or large blogs.
