My name is Mohammed Al-Shanti. I am a Palestinian agricultural engineer in Northern Gaza. My wife, my five-year-old son Ibrahim, and my infant daughter depend on what people send us. This page tells you exactly how to send Solana to my family. The address is below. The QR code is below. The steps are below.
If you have already decided and you just want the address, here it is.
Network fee: Less than $0.01. Send only Solana on the Solana mainnet network.
Why People Choose Solana for Gaza Donations
Solana is the highest-throughput major blockchain in 2026, processing transactions in under 2 seconds at fees of fractions of a cent. For a donation, this matters in two practical ways. First, you can send any amount, even $5, without losing meaningful percentage to network fees. Second, the donation arrives in my wallet almost instantly, which means I can convert and use it the same day with zero friction. Solana also has growing adoption in payments and stablecoin use, with USDC available natively on Solana for donors who want a stablecoin with sub-cent fees.
A Real Scenario: What $SOL Becomes in Gaza
$25 in SOL sent to my Solana address arrives in 2 seconds and the network fee is essentially zero. I exchange it the same day through a peer-to-peer trade for shekels. With $25 I can buy a 10 kilogram bag of rice, a tin of formula for the baby, and some lentils. Three meals worth of food for the family. The diary entry that night documents the purchase. The blockchain explorer permanently records both the transaction in and the conversion out.
Step by Step: Sending Solana to a Gaza Family
How Solana Becomes Food in Gaza
When your Solana arrives in my wallet, I do not leave it sitting there. The family needs cash for the market, the landlord, and the water tank delivery. Here is what happens:
- I receive a notification that Solana has arrived. Confirmation typically takes between a few seconds and one hour depending on the network.
- I open a peer-to-peer exchange. There are several that operate inside Gaza. I have established trusted counterparties.
- I sell the Solana for either US dollars or Israeli shekels at a documented exchange rate.
- I withdraw the cash and go directly to the market or the landlord.
- I take a photo of what I bought, save the receipt, and post the update on donatetogaza.org so you can see what your donation became.
What I Promise the Donor
If you donate Solana, I will publish what I bought with it. If you message me with the transaction hash and your name, I will send you a personal thank you and tell you specifically what the donation covered. I have been writing these updates since the beginning of the war and I will not stop.
The blockchain is permanent and public. Once you send, both you and I can verify the transaction by looking up the hash on a block explorer. You can verify that I received it. I can verify what address it came from if you want me to confirm receipt.
Send Solana or Pick Another Coin
Five wallet addresses available. BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT TRC20, SOL. All go directly to my family in Northern Gaza.
A Note on Trust
Crypto transactions are irreversible. Send only after you are satisfied with the verification. My documents (engineer registration, ID, displacement proof) are at donatetogaza.org/verification. My GoGetFunding campaign with separate verification is at goget.fund/3VfYThz. My PayPal direct donation link, for those who prefer not to use crypto, is on the homepage.
If sending crypto to an individual feels uncertain, that is a reasonable feeling. Send a small test amount first, $5 or $10, confirm it arrives, and then decide whether to send more. I would rather have a donor who feels secure than a larger donation made anxiously.
