#thelastturtle

The goal of this blog is to share some of the funds/families in my DMs on IG who may not otherwise be seen here on Tumblr; Each post will have the details of what official groups they've been verified/vetted by- any without official verification has any humanizing details listed so that you can donate using your own discretion. While time is taken to check for the humanity & authenticity of the fundraisers of any posted fund & many i can vouch for via IG live content & stories or chatting- I do not have the resources to be an "official" source of verification. If you are seeking verification or assistance- Please refer to this Post with links to open intake forms for groups verifying Palestinian fundraisers. If I've been tagged, please check their post for another source of official verification- many of the groups are listed below & feel free to ask me about any funds I've been tagged in.

Please consider taking a look through this Tumblr, or any of the official verified fund lists below & supporting a family or person in need!

"Dana age 11 & Jojo age 8 are two sisters that have seen more than their fair share of hardships, more than enough trauma for 10 lifetimes at a very early age."

Please consider helping this family with young children to evacuate to safety, after multiple displacements & the destruction of their family homes- they're very tired & traumatized. Any small contribution makes a big difference, I invite you to consider helping out with a donation, a heart or by re-sharing their story to help them feel seen & heard.
