Gofundme account for the somali refugee women stranded on the streets of Jakarta

[Nomad2054]

special thanks to all of you that invested your precious time on this matter, its really a beautiful thing to see us come together for a worthy cause, i have gone ahead and made a gofundme account, which the link i posted below.

https://www.gofundme.com/refugee-women-in-Indonesia

i am a citizen of Norway living in Oslo, and in the process of making this Account i had to choose the Norwegian Kroner. since i am neither an American Citizen nor live in the States.The currency is in NOK (Norwegian Kroner). for those of you using the Dollar the exchange rate is (1usd) = (8,12kr) as per today April 2, 2018, it might fluctuate in the future.

so i set a bench mark of raising a total of (5000 usd) = (40,590 nok) it would take 100 of us donating 50 dollars each to meet this goal, i am not saying we can or we cant, but thats the goal without going too crazy.

as i have mentioned in my earlier thread, i will be donating 50 dollars on the 15 of april God willing. until then for those of you, who are able to donate please feel free to do so.

Link is broke. I hope it is genuine effort on one's part.

Why are these middle aged women tahribing?

Our forefathers are turning in their graves. War reer Soomaliyee wax isku fala? Yes, Somalia. This doesn't happen in Djibouti, Soomali-Galbeed and NFP.

This is private information between you and gofund me.

You shouldn’t copy and paste this as it’s against the terms of service.

You have good heart and you don’t have to “Prove” yourself to random people you never met to prove a point.

Just saying.

you right this info is meant for me and i shared it since i didnt not have my personal information.
the reason i posted it on this forum is not to please the nay sayers, but there are people who actually made donation to this cause, i really dont want them to feel bad for the good deed they did, by assuming i took thme for a ride, because they lack info to the current situation.

but thanks for the advice.

 

[Nomad2054]

this gofundme account has come with its issues, i wrote them an email, since this organisation does not have either a contact number or a chat support. last night the message i posted above explained that my account lacked info on the points below.

1. Who you are and where you’re from
2. Your relationship or contact to the parties you're raising funds for
3. How the funds will be spent (be specific as possible)
4. Your withdrawal plan to get the funds from the campaign to the ultimate beneficiary/ies

tonight i tried updating my info, it wouldnt let me stating that the account had been suspended, so i wrote them an email explaining my situation,i got back an email from them were they stated "please allow 24 hours for our Community Management team to respond".

thats where things stand as of now my fellow members, insha Allah this is just a fork in a road, to test our resolve, God willing we will be up to speed soon, and if anything changes i will inform you.

thank you for you patience

Thank you for that information, Noah.

It is best to wait until you have established direct contact with your beneficiaries before proceeding with your campaign. Without a direct connection between you and where the funds are going, we are unable to clear your campaign to continue raising funds.

Can you please reach back to us once you have gotten in direct contact with them and are able to obtain their full names, locations and email addresses?

Thank you,

so with a heavy heart i have decided to discontinue my efforts regarding this matter, for all of you that have committed to this cause, i thank you from the bottom of my heart. our intentions were pure and in the eyes of God our deeds are recorded, at least we did something. so again thank you for your participation its been a pleasure.

@Nomad2054 You have a good heart. I use to be like you but something went wrong down the line. I hope you pray for me.

we come in to this world with our innocence, we should leave with it instead of leaving it while we are still alive. one can only recognise in others what he/she sees in themselves, be true to your soul brother and you will be fine. prayers all around brother insha Allah

Contact the embassy or Somali facebook groups in Indonesia or elsewhere. How you are going to leave them in that predicament?

Gofundme is shit they shut down the page i created to raise money for the somali cop who was charged for the murder of justine diamond and they shut my page down. At first i though they were just being racist, but they sent me an email apparently saying that i need to contact the person i need and get their permission. I understand the rule as it prevents terrorists from raising money, however it makes it difficult for a person with good intentions to raise money for their community members who can't really create the page for themselves. We need to create a muslim gofundme without all the stupid rules, i can't even count the number of times i have donated money at a mosque and i don't really know where the money even went. I think sufficient proof of the money being well spent should be account transfer payments showing that the money went into the intended target's custody.

I don't trust gofundme

I'm going to send it through dahabshiil.

How can i send donations through dahabshill if i don't have their names?
