Verification FAQ: How to Check Nabil's Medical Campaign Before You Donate

Donors should be skeptical — medical appeals attract both genuine need and bad actors. This FAQ lists the checks that apply to Nabil's campaign, with the answers stated plainly so they can be verified rather than trusted.

Checks you can run yourself

A legitimate medical crowdfunding appeal survives five independent checks. Each of them can be completed in a few minutes, and none requires technical skill.

• Platform: the campaign is hosted on Chuffed, an established social crowdfunding platform with its own payment handling.
• Named beneficiary: Nabil is identified as a senior software engineer and father of three, displaced from Gaza to Cairo.
• Specific diagnosis: four-vertebra lumbar disc herniation with a spinal tumour — not a vague appeal for "medical costs".
• Specific intervention: neurosurgery / spinal decompression, with a stated paralysis risk if delayed.
• Consistent public presence: the case is documented across multiple published briefings, all pointing to the same official page.

Questions donors ask

Does the money go to the family directly? Donations are processed by the platform, not collected in cash or by private transfer. Any request to send money outside the official campaign page should be treated as fraud.

Why crowdfunding instead of insurance? The household was displaced from Gaza, lost its income and has no insurance continuity in Egypt. There is no institutional payer to fall back on.

• Never send donations to a wallet address, bank account or messaging-app contact.
• Use only the official campaign URL published on this page.
• Ask for the surgical date and hospital in the campaign updates if you want verification before a large gift.
• Report look-alike pages: there is exactly one official campaign for this case.
