NEW UPDATES:
- We raised almost over $3200 in total with all personal interac transfers, thank you guys enormously!
- Before I left Nablus we purchased 28 fixed walkers, 22 pairs of aluminium and elbow crutches (with spare tips), and a vibrating air mattress to send to Gaza patients both at An Najah Hospital, and in the Gaza Strip. They are currently slowly being received with our friends at Beit Al Sham who are heading back one by one.
- We also purchased about 75ř backpacks equipped with school supplies for some children at New Askar who are unable to afford them.
- Campaign is now over, withdrawing the first batch of funds to purchase supplies proved to be a LOT more challenging than expected, and also very costly with transfer/exchange/service fees. If you`re looking to get involved/donate more, please contact me and I will forward the organizations banking info directly to you. Hopefully your bank abroad or Western Union abroad actually recognizes Palestine and won`t give you as much of a hard time as I had.
Thank you all so so so much, none of this could have happened without your support. Please see below for a few photos :)

Dearest friends, family, acquaintances:
Many of you know a lot about the crisis in Gaza, and many are looking for means to help out. I am in direct contact with patients here in Nablus, Palestine who are waiting for their permits to go back to Gaza, and we do not want them to leave empty handed. With over 10,250 injured from 'Operation Protective Edge' we are trying to fundraise to send as many wheelchairs, walkers, & crutches back with them to help rebuild the lives of these resilient victims through the Local Committee for Rehabilitation, Askar organization. These are quite costly, but very essential right now. Please consider donating - any amount will be appreciated and go towards their rehabilitation.
You can interac e-transfer to farzona11@hotmail.com (if from a Canadian account), or send direct through this page since there is no efficient online bank transfer within Palestinian banks, and I will withdraw the money while i'm here and purchase them personally with the institution here.
On a sidenote - the Social Development Centre for New Askar Refugees that I am with right now are also aiming to purchase 100 "back-to-school" packages for the orphaned refugee children who cannot afford it. Each costs about €30 (backpacks, stationary, books, etc) and they're hoping to buy these before schools start next week.
Please consider donating and sharing this link, and specify what amount you wish to send and for which cause.
1. Wheelchairs for Gaza
2. Back-to-School @NewAskar
Thank you all, God bless.

[OLD ]UPDATES:
1) Thank you all so so much for your donations, $1400 in two days is incredible.
2) If you're sending money from Canada, please interac transfer it to me (farzona11@hotmail.com) so to avoid the service fees of approx 8% of your donation :S
3) Also, please specify whether you wish to support the wheelchairs for Gaza campaign, or back-to-school supplies for refugee children in the West Bank (Askar)
4) The fundraiser was temporarily paused due to the site's policies on large-scale relief causes and them needing to verify who i'm working with and how funds will be transferred. Paperwork BS all done and taken care of - so rest assured.
