GoFundMe apparently closed Abeer\u2019s previous account and told her that donations would be refunded.<\/p>

I had made a donation during the Gaza Verified emergency appeal and, as I understand it, that money (a) was never transferred to Abeer by GoFundMe and (b) has not been refunded to me (to date).<\/p>

Do any of you have people you know who work at GoFundMe.<\/p>

Unless I\u2019m missing something, and if this money doesn\u2019t reach Abeer or get refunded, it would appear that GoFundMe is closing accounts that are set up to help Palestinians and fraudulently keeping the money.<\/p>

Also, if you have friends in the press and\/or in any regulatory bodies that might be able to help, please share this.<\/p>
