Edit 11/28: Another Hexbear user also wants to match, so up to the first $500 we are both matching, so every dollar donated means $3 in to total goes to who you donate to.

On behalf of the admin & mod teams, I’d like to announce our second Hexbear’s Gaza Donations Drive. Like last time, we'll keep it going for the next couple days at least.

As mentioned before, our friend and comrade @MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net and others have brought several folks in Gaza who need help to Hexbear. Below are links to their fundraising sites. Please donate as and if you are able. AND, I was able to dig through my couch cushions and am able to match the first $500 in donations again this time. Just DM me the amount you donated and who you donated to. If anyone else wants to get in on matching let me know and I will add your info in this post. It was really awesome how several of you also wanted to match.

Mahmoud – Help me build my future and build my family home

Aya Mohamed - Support Mohamed’s family to reach safety outside Gaza (A special thanks to Mohamed for reaching out again)

Yamen Nashwan - Help Yamen Evacuate his Family from Gaza and Save Their Life

Ibrahim hema - Getting food for my brothers

Lubna & Munir (from electric_nan@lemmy.ml) - Direct to Lubna Family Relief and Support

Mahmoud - Help Mahmoud Find Hope Amid Crisis in North Gaza

Sara and Ahmed - Help Rebuild Sara and Ahmed's Lives After the Gaza War

Rana - Help Rana and her family escape Gaza

Also, IF YOU AREN'T ABLE TO GIVE YOU CAN STILL HELP! Last time we kept this on Hexbear. But it would be awesome if some you can post this to various friendly subreddits like r/TheDeprogram or mention it on Twitter/Bluesky (I don't have any social media). Also welcome to cross-post with Lemmy instances we are federated with.

Last time we raised at least $2,800 in direct aid. I say "at least" because that's only me counting what was DM'd to me, I'm sure there were other donations made outside of this.

As a bonus this time, my 6 year old asked if she could make "thank you" drawing and I post it; so I'll that to the comments some time.

Love and solidarity to you all!

Edit 11/27: comrade @Mantikora@hexbear.net has provided me with an additional list of folks who need help:

Thank you for accepting my invitation, and special thanks to the managers and administrators of this application. All support and cooperation is greatly appreciated, my friends. You are the hope of many families to the people of Gaza. I would also like to thank all the members for their active participation. Without you, this work would not have achieved its goals. Your support is the strength that keeps us going.
