I've been getting direct messages on Instagram from multiple Gazans begging for help. How awful to have to resort to begging from random strangers on the internet. Every little aspect of life is practically impossible for them. Shaima told me she has to pay for access to a solar charger to charge her phone. I gave her the rest of what I earned from my last job. https://www.gofundme.com/f/qgdb2b-support-shaimas-family-in-gaza
Be careful of scams and frauds. There are morally reprehensible people out there that would exploit ANY situation for money. At this point, it's challenging to decide which are scams and which are not.
Yeah, I worry about that. I asked questions and looked carefully at her previous posts. And her account is followed by two other Palestinians that I follow. So seems legit. But everyone should do their due diligence.
