A Single Mother’s Mission to Protect 75 Abandoned
My Story — A Mother, a Teacher, and a Lifeline for Animals I am a single mom raising my beloved 15-year-old daughter while working as a university instructor in Lebanon. Every day I balance the responsibilities of being a parent, an educator, and a caregiver to those who cannot speak for themselves. My heart has always been with animals in need. Over the years, I have rescued and taken in 24 cats — each one with a story of struggle and survival. Among them is a blind cat who depends on me completely, along with a rescued dog who has found love and safety here. But my care doesn’t stop at the doors of my home. I also look after more than 50 stray cats in my neighborhood — feeding them, tending to their wounds, and providing shelter whenever possible. I have also taken in a stray dog who is deaf, giving him a safe space in a private shelter where he can live without fear. Every animal under my care has a name, a personality, and a place in my heart. But the cost of food, medical care, medications, vaccines, and special needs support is very high — especially while I am the sole provider for my daughter and working hard to make ends meet. I’ve always tried to manage everything on my own, but the expenses for these animals — many of whom have health issues or special needs — are far beyond what I can afford right now. I am reaching out with humility and hope, asking for help to cover: 🌟 Food and nutrition for the cats and dogs 🌟 Veterinary care (especially for the blind and deaf animals) 🌟 Shelter and safe space maintenance 🌟 Medications, vaccines, and urgent treatments Your support — no matter how small — will help me continue this mission of compassion. You can make a real difference in the lives of these innocent beings who deserve care, love, and dignity. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading my story and for your support. Together, we can give these animals hope — a second chance at life.

$1 Christmas Challenge to save GMAP Dog Shelter

$1 Christmas Challenge to save GMAP Dog Shelter
This Christmas, we are launching our biggest community challenge ever: $1 from every person who follows us = $51,000 to save GMAP. Why $1? Because we believe in the power of this family. We believe that if each of us gives a tiny amount, together we can give the animals under our care the stable, safe, loving future they deserve. And because right now GMAP is drowning. 2025 was one of the hardest years we have ever lived through, rescues under bombing, war zone missions, animals shot, poisoned, abandoned, chained, starving, left behind. We fought through every crisis, every emergency, every heartbreak, but the financial pressure has become unbearable. If we don’t act now, we cannot start 2026 with strength. This fundraiser will allow us to finally breathe again. It will allow us to: - Close every debt that has kept us awake at night, from emergencies, surgeries, boarding, and food. - Buy a car so we can operate, respond to emergencies, and reach animals in danger. - Secure long-term food stock so no dog ever sleeps hungry. - Improve and winter proof the shelter for the years to come - Expand safe spaces for seniors, disabled dogs, and overcrowded enclosures. - Cover critical medical care and emergency surgeries. - Stabilize our team so daily care never stops. - Build a small crisis fund so GMAP never reaches this breaking point again. For the first time in years, we have the chance to start a new year strong instead of scared, stable instead of drowning, hopeful instead of fighting to survive day after day. And all it takes is $1 from each of you. Be part of our Christmas Challenge. Help us enter 2026 with dignity, strength, and hope. Together, if each of us gives one single dollar, we will create the biggest act of kindness GMAP has ever seen.

HELP SUPPORT THE ANIMALS OF LEBANON

HELP SUPPORT THE ANIMALS OF LEBANON
Hi! My name is Sarah I am 24 years old and at 17 I decided to change my path and focus on saving animals from the streets of Lebanon. The streets of Lebanon are not kind for the animals, cats and dogs are abused on a daily basis in ways you cannot imagine. Everyday, I encounter dogs and cats that are shot, abused, beaten, neglected, they’re unwanted everywhere they go and there’s no hope for them here. Since I was 17, I rescued more than 300 animals, successfully rehomed more than 100 dogs and cats across the globe (Switzerland, France, Canada, USA, Spain, Uk) I work extremely hard so I can give them the life they deserve, while they are in Lebanon, they are given the best veterinary care possible then they move to paid facilities where they will be rehabilitated until they’re healthy enough to travel abroad. This mission became very big, I currently have more than 160 animals directly under my care and I am responsible for far too many on the streets where I feed them and care for them. My monthly expenses became huge, I have a full time job on top of the rescuing and things became impossible to maintain with the increase of the prices of everything. The war that took place in 2024 made things worse, too many animals were affected and I had to be available and take all of them. Now there’s a monthly struggle to raise the amounts needed to cover everything that goes into the rescue of these babies, from their food, boarding fees, medical etc… I am simply drowning in bills and for the first time in many years, I am obliged to stop rescuing due to lack of funds. The first to be directly affected are the stray animals that wait for me everyday to feed them. I am praying everyday that my situation changes so I can keep going. I am a registered NGO (501c3) EIN: 33-4885367 If you wish to follow my work, I am very active on Social Media, mainly Instagram. One of my dogs got featured on the Dodo. My instagram page is: @rescuing_in_lebanon If you wish to support my work please don’t hesitate to reach out for more information. Thank you!!
