The situation is dire but I’ll try to be as brief as I can.
Falastin’s family is trying to survive in Gaza and they rely on your donations to feed themselves. Thanks to support from people on Tumblr they've managed to cover some food, but they are still well below the average cost of living in Gaza. This campaign used to support 24 family members but since Falastin’s cousin was martyred on 6th of October his two orphaned children are now also in your care; meaning that they need even more of your attention right now.
To make an extra incentive for people to donate, Falastin’s friend has graciously offered to make a Palestinian thobe (see example in the picture below) for three people; the first winner was chosen yesterday but you still can enter for the chance to win a second one.
The rules of the raffle are detailed in this post (LINK), but in short:
- The cost of one entry is 500 SEK (46.4 USD!) for Gofundme and 50 USD for PayPal.
- Entries must be from October 19th and the form will be closed on November 30th at 15:00 GMT (10 AM EST).
- You can enter with multiple donations if their total sum is over one entry cost.
- You will need to cover the shipment to your location (it will come from Sweden).
- Please submit your entries in this form: LINK
