My name is Soliman, from Gaza. Since the beginning of the war, my family and I have been living in unbearable conditions. Our home was completely destroyed, and we no longer have a place to shelter. My children sleep on the ground, surrounded by cold and hunger.

Every day I wake up hoping to find a helping hand, to secure a tent or a roof to protect us from the harsh nights. I am exhausted from carrying this burden alone, but I believe that kind hearts can save us.

I beg you to help us, even with a little—every donation is a new life for us, a step closer to safety.

You should try posting in !mutualaid@ovo.st (not sure how to format community links). Best of luck to you.

I've seen so many of these. How do you know they are real? It's very likely that they are indeed not and just a scam, right?

Well, they could do this: https://gaza-verified.org/ or you could check it out 🙂

Thanks. I'll take a look at that. But of course, this just shifts the trust expectation from a random Fediverse post to a website I've never seen before. I want to help but I never just trust random people asking online.

I didn't force you to help, you said you don't trust anyone!? I'm documenting my photos for you and giving you my other account and I'm holding a message saying hello Kasper, but if you are merciless and want to stir up controversy then that's your problem alone. I'm sharing my story and I hope that humane people will help me

I'm sorry, but in 2025 making fake photos, even holding today's newspaper, and creating legit looking websites is the bare minimum. I'm not merciless, but I see fake gofundmes all the time. And honestly trying to resort to personal attacks doesn't help, because that's the main tactic of scammers, playing with people's emotions. I wish a true way to increase trust in these posts existed. I'm just being realistic.

I’m telling you — go to my second account on Hexbear! You’ll see that I’m always taking photos, and I’ll also attach a post for you. I hope you’ll change your view.

Aral, though a divisive figure is well known on fedi. So the website can be trusted.
