Donation match for 2 Palestinian families in Gaza
I am doing a donation match of up to $200 for two verified Palestinian fundraisers - $100 each. To participate, please donate to both using the links below and reblog with proof of your donation, then I'll match accordingly:
Arij Mohammed's fundraiser here (verified on @/gazavetters list #562).
Amal Ashour's fundraiser here (Amal's former fundraiser is #175 on @/nabulsi, @/MohAyesh, and @/el-shab-hussein's spreadsheet. However, she had to start a new joint fundraiser on chuffed with the Shehab family. The Shehab family's former fundraiser is #764 on butterfly effect project's spreadsheet, was additionally verified by @/el-shab-hussein, and shared by @/90-ghost).
You can read more about their background and stories below. Both of these lovely women have been through the wringer and they are happy to answer any questions that people may have. Please consider donating and sharing their campaigns with your friends, coworkers, and family. Anything you can donate, even $5 will help these women and their families out a lot.
Arij's story:
@arijsobh is a 29-year old single mother of two adorable daughters, Maryam and Talia. The Israeli occupation kidnapped her husband and the father of her children, Adnan, and they have no idea if he is dead or alive.
Now Arij is left to care for them all on her own. They live on the 8th floor of a bombed apartment building with no warmth or heating and a missing wall. Imagine going through the pain of separation from your partner on top of hunger, cold, sickness, and constant bombardment. Right now, Arij's oldest daughter, Talia has been diagnosed with Hepatitis A and she needs our urgent support.
Amal's story:
@amal-ashour-new gave birth to a beautiful girl named Mina about a month ago, but is struggling to take care of her because of the harshness of winter and the lack of food. Her most immediate priority is to rent a house for 3 months so she needs to raise about $4000.
