I know its only a drop
in the water but I’m asking for your support
One
of the drawbacks of being a well known activist, or as the Zionists say ‘notorious’,
is that I am frequently contacted directly by Palestinians in Gaza, either via Facebook,
Paypal or even directly by email, asking for help.
Some
of the messages, indeed most of them, are heartbreaking but unfortunately I am
simply not able to respond positively in the vast majority of cases because I
don’t have the money.
That
is why I am appealing directly to you. I have set up a Crowdfunder here
and if you can afford to please give
generously, however large or small your donation.

It
might also help if I copy some of the messages I have received, whilst
redacting any information that might enable the person to be identified:
Please help me buy medicine for my child. He burned his foot while burning wood to prepare food. I did not have gas and he screams in pain
.
Hello my
friend, how are you? I hope you donate to my children. They are crying and
suffering from extreme hunger. I have no food and no drinking water. The
situation here is getting worse
To my
dear-hearted friends, I am a woman. My house was bombed, which led to the death
of my husband. I have seven children. We live in a tent. Now I and my seven
children are at risk of death due to malnutrition and severe cold. I appeal to
you to donate in order to buy clothes, food, and blankets. Please donate in
order to survive.
My friends, I
appeal to you on this day to donate in order to save the life of my brother who
was injured due to the bombing. I appeal to you to donate in order to buy
treatment for him. Please donate and do not hesitate in order to save the life
of an orphan
My brothers, I
salute you. I am your brother, the orphan Ahmed and I do not
remember a day when I was happy in Gaza. My house was completely bombed, which
led to the martyrdom of my father. I appeal to you to donate to buy food for my
brothers to survive. Save the orphaned children of Gaza
A very, very
urgent appeal to those with compassionate hearts 🚨
My children have been without food for two days and have been drinking sewage
water. I appeal to you to donate now and as soon as possible. I want to buy
food. My children are crying from extreme hunger. Please donate and do not
ignore.
I am an orphan child. I am 16 years old. I have six brothers who are orphans. My father died and left me to provide for my brothers’ needs. I cannot provide for the needs, and now the cold is severe and my brothers are crying from the severity of the cold. They need heavy clothes to protect them from the cold. Please, save the children of Gaza. Gaza has been under bombardment for 104 days and the bombardment is still violent. Save the orphaned children
If there is no food and the crossings are closed, I don't see how sending them money is going to help. You can't eat money.
ReplyDeleteThere is a black market in Gaza and food or some food can be purchased but of course at a much higher price. That is why people email me asking for money. It really isn't for me to subject them to an interrogation. If you google something like black market in Gaza you will see that there is such a thing
ReplyDeleteI tried to donate but bank refused it.
ReplyDeleteAndy, I don't know why this is because 16 people have managed it. Could you try again and if it still doesn't work just transfer straight to The Brighton Trust, where it will end up anyway details are 91420311 090128 The Brighton Trust - thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am going to need to do this too.
DeleteCan I Gift Aid my donation?
ReplyDeleteyes if you send me your name, a declaration that you pay tax and your postcode and number of street. thanks
