Help Ahmed and His Family Escape Gaza, organized by H A

To introduce myself, I’m a Palestinian-American who has been to the West Bank many times. R… H A needs your support for Help Ahmed and His

EDIT 1/4/24: unfortunately, the original case manager got back and emailed me saying that, essentially, they need info from a trusted nonprofit or something along those lines to move forward with the transfer. It's fucking bullshit and it's unfair, especially when we we really thought it'd work out, but at this stage, it looks like our only choice is to move forward with refunding everyone and re-donating to ahmed's ko-fi and paypal:

Please reblog this version of the post. Soon, the refund process will start. Everyone who donated will also get an email from GFM with this update once I post it.

EDIT: GFM is giving me grief because this is going to someone in Gaza. I am trying to sort it out, but if the worst-case scenario happens and they shut it down, I’ll have to refund everyone. Currently, I can’t even access the funds. You can still donate if you want, but you’ll be more sure to get money to Ahmed if you go to his blog and use his PayPal or Ko-Fi to donate directly.

EDIT 12/24: the fundraiser hit its goal! But the funds are still in limbo. GFM essentially concluded their questioning and told me that they will reach out when there’s a decision regarding whether or not I will be able to transfer the funds or if everyone will be refunded. I’m trying to at least pester them for a decision ASAP, but in the case of a refund, please pay attention to your email for the refund notification and re-send your money directly to Ahmed’s PayPal: @/ahmed94saad

EDIT 12/29: the good news is that GFM reached out to Ahmed directly, received his documentation, etc and it looks like they’re moving forward with lifting the hold on the account, hopefully. The bad news is that the cost of the permits has gone up in the time that this has taken. It’s $7500 per person now. I’ve adjusted the goal and re-opened donations accordingly.
