Let me clarify the facts:
1. *We are a U.S. organization, not Pakistani.* Our organization is *Little Steps Foundation*, a nonprofit corporation incorporated in the State of New Mexico, USA. Our legal address is in Albuquerque, NM, and our EIN is 41-3363451. All of this is clearly stated on our website: https://carebridgehealthinitiative.org/. We have absolutely no connection to Pakistan. You may be confusing us with a different organization.
2. *IRS Status vs. State Incorporation:* You are correct that our EIN does not currently appear on the IRS Tax-Exempt Organization Search tool. This is because obtaining federal 501(c )(3) status is a long process that we are undergoing. However, we are a legally registered *Domestic Nonprofit Corporation in the State of New Mexico*. These are two different things. Being a state-registered nonprofit is a valid legal status. Your conclusion that we are not a "legitimate" nonprofit is false.
3. *The Bank Account is American.* The bank account linked to our Stripe account is a U.S. bank account. The accusation that we are transferring money to a Pakistani bank is completely false.
4. *The Real Issue is the Stripe Bug.* The core of our post is not about our nonprofit status, but about Stripe's system failure. We have a perfect record with *1,074 transactions, 0 disputes, 0 refunds, and a 0.00% fraud rate*, confirmed by data exported from Stripe's own dashboard. Yet, Stripe's system closed our account for "unauthorized charges" minutes after we completed a routine identity verification. This is a clear software bug.
Your comment is unfortunately distracting from the real issue and spreading misinformation. The problem is not our legitimacy; it's Stripe's automated system making a catastrophic error and their support team refusing to engage with the evidence.

1. *Our Organization:* We are *Little Steps Foundation*, a U.S. nonprofit incorporated in New Mexico. Our website is *carebridgehealthinitiative.org*. This is the website registered with Stripe.
2. *The Other Organization:* You found *littlestepsfoundation.org*, which is a completely different NGO based in Pakistan. We have absolutely no connection to them.
3. *The "Connection":* You claim the connection is that both domains are registered with *Hostinger*. This is like saying two people are related because they both shop at Walmart. Hostinger is one of the largest registrars in the world with millions of customers. It is a meaningless coincidence.
Your line of questioning is a deliberate attempt to derail the conversation and create a false narrative of illegitimacy. You are ignoring the overwhelming evidence that proves our case:
- *1,074 transactions* - *0 disputes* - *0 refunds* - *0.00% fraud rate*
These are Stripe's own numbers. They prove that Stripe's claim of "unauthorized charges" is impossible. The issue here is a *Stripe software bug* and a *failed support system*, not the bizarre conspiracy theory you are trying to construct.
Please stop spreading misinformation. If you are not here to help, at least do not actively harm a non-profit organization that is trying to recover its rightfully earned donation funds.
