RE: Beirut Blast - Lebanese Expat experience - Fundraising Campaign

in #actifit4 years ago

Yep, I'm just working out ways to help, but I think that we need some more detailed info off you first.

I'm am sure that you are legit, but I'm also sure that you realise how many not-so-genuine people take advantage of disasters like this to raise $$$ for themselves, so if you really are genuine and want to make this a success, then it would be in your best interests to actually show who these people are that you have contacted in Beirut and list the things that they intend to buy/ do with the money raised, otherwise people will never donate and you won't get the support from people like me to help because of the uncertainty.

Not a lot of people around the world have much money themselves- we've all lost our jobs- I lost mine on the 18th March and am surviving on very little, so people will not give away money unless they know that it is a reputable charity or who is taking the money and what is is going to be used for, so you really need to make a proper plan, get those details straight and make everything in your plan completely transparent so there no mystery, no confusion, no room for problems to arise, no way for any dodginess to occur and then when you have done that, you will have a much better chance of raising the amount of money that you want to.

The world already knows how dodgy and corrupt the govt is. The world already knows what the citizens of Beirut are doing to clean it up and help everyone, so that is not the questions that you need to answer first, you know.

The question are about you whole game plan from start to finish.
You live in Italy, so I'm sure you watch Soccer.
You are at the goalie at one end of the field and need to get your team to get the ball up to the other goal post at the other end to score.

So you are the Captain because you had this idea, created the gofundme page, and got all the players.

So who are the players, what are their positions and who are they going to get the ball there and what are they going to do with it at the end???

Just like a soccer team you need a detailed game plan to tell the donors, otherwise you won't get anyone to donate.

Do you understand the importance of this aspect?

Sort:  

Yes i totally agree and this is why i identified myself first of all in the gofundme campaign, that C.F. Is my tax identification number in Italy and there could be noone having that same code other than me.

Concerning the funds, these funds raised are going to people, no charities, no organizations. People i trust! I will be sharing the money transfer details through updates on the gofundme page. I understand people being sceptical in donating and if donating to a charity is what makes them donate then i would prefer closing my campaign because i would be helping in this robbery and not helping the needy people.
I would never give a single penny to any charity because most of the ones in lebanon will rob that money for themselves as they are already doing.

There is no reference or contact down there... My sister lives in Beirut and is going to receive that money and go to each of the houses being rebuilt by the volunteers and provide them with direct funding for whatever is needed to restore the house. That is my main goal. Let those poor people gain SAFE access again to their homes. Basically it is the same as you can see in the video i commented in your post. We want to provide funding to those who are really making something (the civilians who are volunteering and are on a daily basis on the streets) and not to fake charities.

👍

If you need any other information i will be more than happy to share it with you. I have nothing to hide, i am just a lebanese guy who has not that much financial power to really help out and is doing my best to reunite the good hearted people in this world to help out in this tragedy through gofundme.

yes I totally understand, but it's not me that you will need to convince- it's everyone else- if you want to get their donations.

And the best way to do that its to make you end game completely transparent, so everyone will know the answers to those important questions- the WHO/WHAT/WHY/HOW/WHEN

Yes i totally understand and am ready to provide whatever info is needed.

Do you use dicord? We can keep in touch there to better talk about the fundraising. Still no donations are made and they really need some help there. This is my discord username electronicsworld#0829

Yep cool, I'll talk to you tomorrow sometime. 👍
