About:
Dalia is a young woman living in central Gaza, who loves the natural world and photography. She wants to share the beauty of Gaza's landscapes, despite the destruction: her first series captures the light of the setting sun on Deir al-Balah beach.
Supporters can download printable cards, or order physical cards, which are professionally printed, packaged with envelopes and cellophane bags and posted by Dalia's UK-based friend.
Cards are offered in exchange for a donation to Dalia's fundraiser page. Her page is hosted by a friend, since Palestinian bank account holders are not able to withdraw money from Chuffed, but 100% of funds are transferred directly to Dalia.
For UK residents, we ask you to contribute £2 separately towards postage and packing through a card payment link.
Please contact cardsacrossborders@gmail.com to confirm postage before ordering physical items if you are based outside the UK. We're happy to post overseas, but will need to request a higher postage and packing contribution - this is usually £4 for European orders or £6 for other locations, but may be higher if you are ordering a larger volume
We've set a minimum suggested donation amount, but please give any amount you can. Your contributions are a vital lifeline to help Dalia and her husband survive and prepare to welcome their first child into the world.
Please follow Dalia on social media for updates: @DaliaDali97181
This form was designed using a template by Divya Persaud. See her own donation-based shop for other opportunities to directly support families in Gaza.
How it works:
1. Select the card or cards you would like to receive. This form will automatically update to show you the minimum requested donation amount, based on the items you choose.
2. Make a donation to Dalia's Chuffed page (Please note: Chuffed automatically adds a tip, but Dalia does NOT receive these funds - they are used to cover Chuffed platform fees. We recommend that you select 'Other' and write '£0' in the 'tip' box)
3. Take a screenshot of the receipt after donating
4. If ordering a physical item, please make a postage and packing contribution separately to Dalia's friend through the following link: Dalia's postage and packing costs. UK residents, please contribute £2. If you don't live in the UK, please email cardsacrossborders@gmail.com to confirm postage costs before ordering.
5. Attach your screenshots and submit the form.
6. If you selected the digital download option, you will receive an email with the PDFs of your cards attached. We will provide the designs in both RGB and CMYK format. If you opted to receive printed cards, these will be posted to the address provided.
