Folks, just a heads up: I’m busily coding a Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal site so that we can raise one amount that will get all our remaining families in the danger zone in the North to safety in the South.

I’m adapting the donation form I’d made for us at Small Technology Foundation (https://small-tech.org/fund-us – don’t worry about donations to us at the moment, eye on the ball, folks!)

Joy’s busy compiling the list of Gaza Verified families that are still stuck in the North and the monies they need to get to the South.

We’re going to add those up and set a total amount and then push that out with a campaign similar to the one I ran last night. I could really use your help once that starts to spread the word and help out if you can.

I don’t have the exact number of families off the top of my head right now (head in code mode) but it’s too many. Even one is too many. Anyway…

So we’re going to collect the donations into our Small Technology Foundation account and then transfer them to everyone’s individual fundraisers. I’ve got that basic functionality running right now (it looks like crap but it’s running so I’m going to work on making the page look more appealing for the rest of the day).

As much as I’d like to start the campaign tonight, realistically, it’s better if we start it tomorrow.

Every night, though, is a chance that we will have fewer families to help…

Anyway, I just wanted to give you a heads up. If you’re around tomorrow, I could use your help in spreading the word.

Thank you all so much for showing our Gaza Verified family so much love already.

I think I’ll be able to breath a little easier once the remaining families in the North are safely in the South.

The site is coming along, fingers crossed, we should be able to start the campaign tomorrow.

(We haven’t raised any money for it yet and that’s not the amount we‘re aiming for, that’s just dummy data and wishful thinking in the screenshot.)

@aral
For several days, I had been thinking that boosting individual fundraising campaigns alone was not the most effective way to help the Palestinians registered here (running out of steam?), and you did it, well done! :)

Would it be interesting to put up a kind of table showing the evolution of the basic needs of Palestinians and their families?

I'm willing to help with
- coding (depending on the backend, direct HTML, Markdown, static generator, php or something else?)
- updating the information based on what these people post here.
- french translations

Thank you so so much for doing this work, and for keeping us posted on your progress. There are many who remain eager for an opportunity to help, even in a small way, and you building that site creates such opportunity. I just wish i had a bigger microphone for you to talk into/more to offer the cause 🩷
