Cross Stitch for Gaza @crossstitchforgaza - Tumblr Blog

Apologies for the delay, but the final count is in!

After everything has been counted, the total raised by this fundraiser was €4561.23-- a fantastic amount! Thank you to everyone who donated, contributed, and shared the campaign. You have our deepest gratitude.

We've been in contact with Hadeel, and while the money will not be enough for her to pay for her family to evacuate into Egypt, it will be a huge help to her: it will be used to buy food, clothes, and to pay for lodging over the next few months. Prices for essentials have skyrocketed during the war, so every piece of aid helps!

If you are able, you can donate to help Hadeel and her family (her husband Waseem, and their children Mira, Nadia, and Labeeb) at their GoFundMe here.

Thank you all for all your assistance and support!

To the person who is missing their copy of the bundle

A message to E.G., who donated during the fundraiser and has not been able to receive their copy of the bundle:

Both of your messages have reached the team, but for some unknown reason, it seems as though our responses are not arriving in your email, even when sent from a separate account: as a fix, we're sharing your copy of the bundle as an encrypted ZIP file here. The password for it is the full email address you used when contacting us.

If this doesn't work, please let us know! We've exhausted most of the email troubleshooting options on our end, but we have been able to receive the messages you have sent, and would be able to communicate with you via the messaging system on Tumblr, Instagram, or Bluesky.

We're sorry for the trouble, and hope this message reaches you!

And with that, the fundraiser comes to a close!

We'll have a proper recap and the final numbers sometime this weekend, but for now: THANK YOU!

The final batch of pattern bundles is going out now; if you don't see your copy in your email by tomorrow morning, please drop us a line so we can make sure it gets to you.
