Donors overwhelmed by volume of Gaza aid requests
Original: So, I have been feeling overwhelmed by the number of # Gaza requests for aid. I donate a few times a year to the # GazaS
A donor who gives a few times a year to Gaza Soup Kitchen says they feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of individual aid requests coming from Gaza, and says they cannot respond to each one. The post reflects a wider tension in mutual-aid fundraising, where people want to help but feel helpless or guilty when direct appeals flood in amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Why now: The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza keeps generating large numbers of individual fundraising appeals, leaving donors torn between wanting to give and feeling overwhelmed.
