I am aware of fundraising scams and sinister things with people faking being Palestinians in occupied Palestine in order to scam people for money, but right now, with how dire the situation is in Palestine, I am more inclined to help people, and thus, I have tried my best to talk to all the people who have reached out and look through their profiles to find out if these people truly do need help, and from what I can find, they are legit. If there is anything that tells me otherwise as we go along, I will either flag it or remove it from this list entirely. You can also email me at <kahulawrites@gmail.com> if you suspect anything. But please, if you have the time and funds, help these families out. If you are looking for more families, visit Operation Olive Branch (@operationolivebranch) to find their master list on families. Mahalo!
