Keep the Heart Beating
وجيه سري الدين 46 سنة إبن بلدة المشرفة، هو أب لثلاثة أولاد ومعيل أهله بحاجة إلى عملية طارئة خلال أسبوع لزراعة عضلة اصطناعية للقلب، بتكلفة 140,000د In the heart of a bustling Lebanese city beats a rhythm too fragile, a heart struggling to keep pace with life's vibrant melody. This beat belongs to Wajih Sarieddine, a husband, father of three, and a man whose smile radiates warmth like the Mediterranean sun. But Wajih's light is dimming, overshadowed by a relentless heart condition that whispers fear and threatens to silence his laughter forever. His only hope, a whisper of possibility woven into metal and silicon, whispers its name: LVAD-HeartMate 3. This marvel of technology, a bridge between life and oblivion, carries a price tag as harsh as the desert wind - $140,000. A sum that stands between Wajih's future and the abyss, a sum the family, with insurance offering a mere drop in the bucket, Imagine Wajih, the coach urging his kids on, the first to rise when help is needed, the man who makes every stranger feel like family. Imagine that laughter silenced, that hand no longer reaching out, that light extinguished. We cannot. Will not. With each beat of his faltering heart, urgency drums a tattoo against our chests. Time is not a luxury we have. Each sunrise a gamble, each sunset a potential farewell. That's why we reach out to you, to the kindness that echoes across oceans and continents, to the hearts that resonate with the rhythm of humanity. Every dollar you contribute is a note in Wajih's symphony of life, a chord of hope strummed against the strings of fate. It's the chance to see his children grow, hold his wife's hand with renewed strength, and watch the sun paint the sky with a palette of tomorrows. Don't wait for the silence. Donate now. Be the melody that lifts Wajih's heart, the harmony that drowns out the whispers of fear. Together, we can rewrite this story, turn fear into hope, and make the impossible beat of resilience echo through the valleys of his future. From the depths of our gratitude, thank you. Let your generosity be the rhythm that keeps Wajih's heart dancing, one beat at a time.

Support Georgette's Battle Against Cancer
English: Despite living in 2024, cancer remains a threat more than ever. My mother, Georgette, and our family are living through this nightmare. It is unimaginably difficult to see such an innocent soul suffer from cancer simply due to a lack of money, which prevents her from benefiting from various treatment options. My mother received treatments at different hospitals and was responding well until we discovered the recurrence recently. This coincided with the most difficult financial circumstances for us, after being ripped off for more than one and a half years of continuous treatments. Based on the previous request, I appeal to your generosity to donate whatever is possible to allow her to benefit from HIPEC/CRS, immunotherapies, and other complex care plans. She is not just a number in our eyes, but the entire existence. Francais: Bien que nous vivions en 2024, le cancer reste plus que jamais une menace. Ma mère, Georgette, et notre famille vivent ce cauchemar. Il est incroyablement difficile de voir une âme aussi innocente souffrir d'un cancer simplement par manque d'argent, ce qui l'empêche de bénéficier de diverses options de traitement. Ma mère a reçu des traitements dans différents hôpitaux et réagissait bien jusqu'à ce que nous découvrions récemment la récidive. Cela a coïncidé avec les circonstances financières les plus difficiles pour nous, après avoir été escroqués pendant plus d'un an et demi de traitements continus au Liban. Sur la base de la demande précédente, je fais appel à votre générosité pour faire don de tout ce qui est possible pour lui permettre de bénéficier de l'HIPEC ( CHIP)/CRS, des immunothérapies et d'autres plans de soins complexes. Elle n'est pas qu'un numéro à nos yeux, mais l'existence tout entière.

Join the Fight Against Cancer
I am Issam (Alias), a 33-year-old Mass Communication graduate and a dedicated social activist from the vibrant city of Tripoli, Lebanon. I am reaching out to you with a plea for support in the face of a relentless battle against cancer that has disrupted not only my life but also the lives of my beloved wife and two-year-old child. In 2017, my life took an unexpected turn when malignant cancerous tumors were discovered throughout my body. The ensuing three-year treatment journey was very hard, but with the combined power of radiation and immunotherapy, I won the battle. The unwavering support of friends played a pivotal role in my successful return to health. As fate would have it, in early 2023, a familiar and unwelcome presence reappeared— the tumors under my arm and near my neck reappeared. The fear returned, and a renewed battle against cancer began. The widespread nature of the disease forced me to cease working, impacting not only my physical and psychological well-being but also the daily lives of my family at home. Chemotherapy and radiation, though initially promising, offered limited improvement. It was the transition to immunotherapy, specifically the medication Opdivo, that brought about a remarkable positive change. The tumors began to shrink, and hope was revived. However, the cost of this lifeline is staggering. In Lebanon, a single dose of Opdivo amounts to $4,300, while in Turkey, the same medication is available at $2,000. Opting for treatment in Turkey is a viable option to mitigate the financial burden and secure the required doses. I urgently need six doses within the next three months, with the possibility of adjustments based on my doctor's recommendations. These doses of Opdivo are not just medication; they are my ticket to reclaiming a normal life, rejoining the workforce, and providing for my family's needs. The toll of this illness extends beyond the physical; it has left me isolated from society, distanced from my family, and burdened by the unspoken truth with my aging parents in Syria. Their fragile health and financial constraints make it impossible for me to share my condition with them, adding an emotional weight to an already challenging journey. Your support in securing these vital doses of medication is not just a contribution; it is a lifeline, a beacon of hope in the fight against the regrowth of tumors and a return to stability. Please join me in this battle. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference in my journey to reclaim a life free from the shadows of cancer. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.
