Hi everyone, I’d like to welcome Hala and her family (@ghassangaza) to Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org)
I had a video chat with her a few minutes ago over Signal.
She is a mother from Gaza struggling to keep her children safe and fed.
I met Sama, the most adorable child you see in her profile photo during our chat. She was wearing a t-shirt with a lovely swan embroidered on it and I got the most heartwarming smile when I complimented her on it.
Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow them, help with the fundraiser if you can (they’re still in the danger zone and haven’t been able to afford to move South), and share their story so we can find others who can help.
Here’s a direct link to her fundraiser:
Thank you!
💕
