Please help if you can. Thank you!

My son's friend's father Mohamed Naser was taken by ICE despite his pending asylum status from Libya. We have community support and legal help (we are in Greensboro NC).
Of course, there will be on going expenses while we work to reunite Mohamed with his family. If you are in a position to help please consider making a contribution. Thank you DU!

I do not trust them to keep my info safe. I like that DU uses paypal for the political donations. efhmc Jul 2025 #3

PayPal is an option when you click on the gofund me page. Options include Apple Pay, papal and other options. MLAA Jul 2025 #4

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
