On behalf of the admin & mod teams, I’d like to announce Hexbear’s Gaza Donations Drive. For the next 24-48 hours, this will be the only pinned post on the site to give this visibility (links to the mega threads at the bottom of this post).
Our friend and comrade @MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net has brought several of his friends in Gaza who need help to Hexbear. Below are links to their fundraising sites. Please donate as and if you are able. Further, I (@IgnusNilsen@hexbear.net ) will match the first $500 in donations. 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.
Mahmoud – Help me build my future and build my family home
Aya Mohamed - Support Mohamed’s family to reach safety outside Gaza
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
While donating to organizations like PCRF, MAP, and UNRWA are good things to do in normal times, the reality is that these organization are currently challenged in their ability to help due to the ongoing US/Israeli genocide. Giving directly to individuals in Gaza is, at the moment, the most effective way to help.
Love and solidarity to you all 
Edit #1: Our comrade @Kolibri@hexbear.net would also like to match the first $500. So for every $1 you donate, you’ll actually be sending $3 to the recipient! Triple combo! Also, we’re already past $200 in total donated in just 2 hours.
Edit #2: WE ALREADY HIT $500 NOT EVEN 3 HOURS IN! I’m not able to match any more at the moment but I’m gonna see what other money I can scrounge around, and whatever I can put together I will update here and let you know if I can match more.
Edit #3: @stink@lemmygrad.ml has agreed to match the next $500, so please send me your donation information and I will pass it on to stink. So we’re back to double matching!
Edit #4: I have to sign off for the night. By my reckoning we currently stand at about $2,235 donated including matches. Thank you everyone so far! See you on the flip side.
Edit #5: As of now (~14:30 PST on Tuesday) we’ve maxed out the matching, but still please give as you are able. If anyone else offers to match giving I will make another update.
Edit #6 (Nov. 10): Added the sixth donation link and removed the mega thread links.
Thank you my friends for everything you do for me and my family. I am truly unable to express my gratitude to you. Thank you to everyone who contributed with us and stood by me during these difficult circumstances that we are going through. I am crying with joy 😭
Hello friends, I am Mahmoud I would like to express my deep gratitude for the wonderful support you have given me. Your kindness and support have been a beacon of light during our difficult times. Thank you for always being there for me. Your support has been a tremendous source of strength. I can’t thank you enough for your support. Really thank you for everything friends 🥹🫂
It’s honor and pleasure to help you out any way we can.
W alaah I am very happy here because the people here know the truth about the world and Zionists and are not deceived by them. Thank you very much. ♥
Hello, I am Mahmoud I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to you, my second family. I am unable to repay you, and my family would also extend their sincere thanks. I am unable to describe my joy and happiness 🥹♥
This needs to be something that happens every year from now on.“Elections?
Never heard of them. Anyways, for no particular reason, here are places to donate to the victims of the American Empire.”
A heartfelt thank you to all of you, the heroes who gave us hope in our darkest times. You were the hand that lifted us from the depths of pain and the support that restored our strength when our dreams were about to collapse. Your support was a cry of life in the heart of darkness, a word of love in a time when generosity was scarce. We will never forget the kindness of your hearts, and the impact of your giving will forever remain in our memory. May God reward you abundantly and fill your lives with blessings and peace.
With gratitude, Aya Muhammad ✌️🇵🇸❤️🙏
You and everyone else is Gaza are very often in the thoughts of many here.
please change the “american election day” link to “US election day” for the reason stated here:

The US is not the Americas, and the US’s use of america to refer only to itself and exclude central, south america, and the carribean has a long history that goes back to it’s imperial ambitions to create a “greater america”.

Please note: A refund of $2,368.00 has been issued for a donation made by L Love to Support Mohamed’s family to reach safety outside Gaza. The donation amount has been removed from your account and will be returned to the donor within 3–7 business days.
If you have questions about this refund, you can find answers and contact us via the GoFundMe Help Center.
This is a message that was sent to Aya that has me extremely confused
Saw this and commenting on it so I don’t get any more questions, this was not me. I wish I had that much money to try to donate, but I’m living paycheck to paycheck right now. I plan on donating some on Friday, but I really don’t need any more DMs asking why I did this for something I have nothing to do with
I’m not very familiar with gofundme. If there was a donation and then shortly after a refund, it’s possible someone made a donation for an amount they didn’t intend, so they cancelled it? Also possible someone tried to make a donation and then gofundme rejected it for some reason?

I donated to both. I really would do more if I could.
The Mega Mega
Also will donate when I can, of course.
I checked out all the gofundmes even though I don’t have the money to donate right now, holy shit I’m bawling you guys. This website has done so much good for the world it’s almost overwhelming
Last year we also helped raise like $60,000 for Pine ridge reservation. This place really is a lot more than we give ourselves credit for.
It is not JUST a little niche commie shitposting forum it is an actual community and we can move fuckin mountains if we put our minds to it.
I still cry thinking about the time I posted on mutual aid needing money to keep my ex’s nephew out of foster care and the people on here sent enough to get him a Halloween costume and lice treatment after the court costs? This place is my safe space
If anyone wants to DM me a screenshot of your dono and which fundraiser, I’ll also match the first $500 on gofundme. Any verified Gaza fundraiser.cute, we did it!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I donated to yours because it had the lowest amount in the bank. good luck comrade
You’re a saint.
Thank you
But I’m just a human

I can only give a little but it gives me some hope seeing how much people can send. There is a worldwide force of millions, if we can find ways to collaborate outside of our states we can achieve great things.
Hexbear ppw in amerikkka when?
