Finding campaign replacement?

I need help finding someone trustworthy to take over a fundraiser for a Gazan family that I am running. I’ve asked dozens of my friends, online activists, and people who run other fundraisers, to no avail. I have been running the campaign for a year and the mother of the family is about to have her third kid, I do not want to leave this family without someone who can help, but I also am in a point in my life where I can’t handle the strain emotionally or financially.

Any and all advice would be welcome.

Helping an Asylum Seeker? + Fundraising Replacement

This post will have two subjects in it.

For a while now, I have been talking to a fellow named Mustafa. He has been living in Egypt with his immediate family as a Palestinian for some time and had been raising money to support his family stuck in Gaza. In a desperate bid to gain more money for his relatives, he applied as an asylum seeker in Belgium. However, he has been told by the authorities that unless he can find a home in the next two months, he will be forced to live elsewhere- in the streets, essentially. He has told me that in order to gain any kind of home, he has to deal with brokers who charge exorbitant fees upwards of £2-3,000. No one has been donating to his campaign for months aside from one other person. I do not think I could give that amount of money without dipping into my life savings, but I am horrified by the prospect that he may be in homeless even farther away from home.

I am not sure what to do or how to help him. his campaign is here:

Any advice or support would be helpful.

My other question is that I am trying to find a replacement for a Chuffed campaign I am running for another family. The amount of financial strain and emotional fatigue it puts me under is a lot. The problem is that I cannot find someone who is willing to make a new campaign for this family, and I do not want to leave this family without an advocate.

Guys, I am so tired, please help.
