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
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.
Thanks Ignus for wrapping this all together.
It’s really inspiring how much we can achieve even on a platform that’s really intended for shitposting and hanging out, keep it up comrades
donated what i could to all of them, very good initiative to pin this instead of the usual megathreads.
Love to you all, one day we will see the children free.
Donated, any matching still?
We maxed out the matching, which is I guess both a good and bad thing.

please change the “american election day” link to “US election day” for the reason stated here:
https://hexbear.net/comment/5587620
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”.

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. ♥
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.
