shaima and her family, whom i have been working with for over a year now, needs funds to keep the room that she and her disabled family members are staying in.
this room is extremely important to them, because shaima's grandmother has alzheimer's and uses a wheelchair, and shaima's 7 year old nephew is chronically ill with a kidney disease. these struggles are hard enough for anyone to deal with on top of experiencing an ongoing genocide and navigating the stressors of this new version of life.
we need to raise a total of $445 by march 03 in order to pay their rent on time. anything and everything helps us - we would deeply appreciate your support!

hello everyone! i'll keep things brief. our relief aid coordinator on the ground, ahmed, would like to buy winter clothes for the children in the two refugee camps he works in.
the estimated cost for one child's winter coat is $43, and there are 30 children in the camp in need of clothing, bringing us to a total goal of $1300. one of our team members will be contributing $100 and covering the bank fee, which lowers the amount we need to fundraise to $1200.
this is the second of 3 campaigns, aiming to raise $400 to buy clothes for 10 children.
if 30 people contributed $40, or 60 people contributed $20, we would be able to make our total goal in no time!
previous campaigns & proof of donation from the last year and a half
if you want to speak to or vet ahmed directly, send us a message and we can get you in contact on whatsapp
thank you all for your generosity! we couldn't do this without you.

we're blown away by your generosity and are excited to get these winter coats for the children. thank you to everyone who spread the word and/or donated to the cause!
hello everyone! we are excited to bring you this update!
for around two months, we have been fundraising for the materials to build tents/shelters for the influx of refugees in ahmed's camp. we split the campaign into five parts to shelter twenty families; you can see our campaign posts here (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5).
thanks to your generous donations, ahmed's team has successfully built shelters for the newly displaced families in his refugee camp!
clearing the ground and setting up the tents:
these are not ready-made tents, as ready-made tents are quite expensive in gaza; instead, ahmed and his team built shelters out of cheaper plastic tarps. this is why we were able to shelter so many families with this!
detailing the interiors:
originally, we only intended to build the shelters; however, with everyone's generosity, we were also able to obtain new bedding as well! thank you so much to those of you who helped us surpass our original donation goal!
final results:
although we try to avoid identifying pictures for the sake of safety and privacy, if you would like additional proof of donation, send us a message! we would be happy to get you in contact with ahmed on whatsapp.
and finally, a huge thank you from shimaa and ahmed...
we are truly, endlessly grateful to everyone's generosity in making this possible. this wouldn't be possible without you.
(p.s. accounting & financing details beneath the cut! )
total amount raised:
campaign 1: $783 out of original $480 goal
campaign 2: $478 out of original $360 goal
campaign 3: $410 out of $410
campaign 4: $413 out of $410
campaign 5: $806 out of $410! wow! thank you so much!
this brings our total to a whopping $2890!!
money transfer:
we transferred the money in two batches. in the first batch, we did three transfers together: (1) the rent campaign for shimaa and ahmed's family to keep their current room (totalling $495 after one of our team member's personal donations), (2) campaign 1's amount, and (3) campaign 2's amount. here is the bank screenshot from ahmed's end, with a small bank fee taken from each.
in the second batch, we sent campaign 3, 4, and 5's amount all together, amounting in total to $1629:

hey everyone! i have bad news and good news. the bad news is that the winter rains have arrived in palestine, so refugees and displaced families are in urgent need of shelter, more than ever.
the good news is that, for just $120, our relief aid coordinator and his team can build a shelter for one family! that means:
for a family of 3, it's about $40 to shelter one person;
for a family of 6, it's about $20 to shelter one person.
our goal is to raise enough to shelter 20 families, total, who have recently been displaced to ahmed's refugee camp. this is the last campaign of 5, aiming to raise money for about 3 shelters. (the extra sum is the cost of extra shelters, planned to be split across multiple campaigns. message us if you'd like a full cost breakdown!)

proof of donation for last winter's campaign to provide shelter. we've tried this tactic before, and we know it works!
if you want to speak to or vet ahmed directly, send me a message and i'll get you in contact.
i'm also excited to announce that one of our team members will be matching all donations to this campaign. just $5 from you could result in double the impact!
in summary:
all donations will be matched! thank you for your generosity.

thank you for helping us reach our final goal for the new years!! we are incredibly excited to get this project completed. stay tuned for proof of donation soon!
also, a special thank you to the sponsor who donated $800 to finish this!! our team members only budgeted for about $200 for donation matching, so we won't be able to match this amount right away, but we will contribute over the next few months until the full amount is reached.
