From War to Hope: Help a Father Rebuild His Family
Help Muhannad Mourtga Rebuild His Life My name is Muhannad Mourtga. I am a husband and a father of two beautiful boys—Zaid, who is 4 years old, and Kareem, who is 8. We are originally from Gaza Strip, Palestine, where we lived a modest but happy life. However, the war has taken everything from us—our home, our workplace, and the stability we worked so hard to build. In the midst of the violence, we managed to escape to Jordan, seeking safety and a chance to start anew. While we are grateful to be alive, life here is extremely difficult. We have no home, no stable income, and no clear path forward. As a father, it breaks my heart to see my family in this state, struggling to meet even the most basic needs. Despite the hardships, I am determined to rebuild our lives. My dream is to buy a small car so I can work as a delivery driver for a local app. This will allow me to provide food, shelter, and a better future for my wife and children. It may seem like a small step, but it is a lifeline for us—a way to regain dignity and stability in an otherwise hopeless situation. I am reaching out to you, kind-hearted people, to help me achieve this dream. The funds raised will go towards purchasing a reliable used car and covering the initial costs of starting work, such as registration, insurance, and app fees. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a tremendous difference in our lives. Your generosity will not just help us survive; it will help us live again. It will allow me to stand on my own two feet and give my children the life they deserve—a life of safety, opportunity, and hope. Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Please consider supporting us and sharing our campaign with others. Together, we can turn despair into hope and give my family a chance to rebuild. With gratitude, Muhannad Mourtga

Funding the Gap: Support the Displaced in Lebanon

Funding the Gap: Support the Displaced in Lebanon
The war on Lebanon rages on and the number of displaced people is constantly increasing as Israel expands its attacks on densely populated civilian towns and neighborhoods across South Lebanon and the Bekaa. Humanitarian aid initiatives are also increasing, but more is still needed, with a large number of families stranded off the radar of these initiatives. Reefna (our countryside) is an association based in Southern Lebanon that aims to create open and diverse spaces for dialogue and thinking and to build bridges between different communities in Lebanon. Through our network of friends and supporters we have gained access to an increasing number of families that are stranded in different displacement locations with little access, if any at all, to basic services. We are trying to fill some of the many gaps. Today we are in touch with more than 500 families who are off the radar of humanitarian assistance, and we intend to change that, with your support. The needs are enormous, with winter closing in. We aim to provide dry food assistance, mattresses, medicine, and baby care essentials and female hygiene products for those in need. These families have rough moments ahead of them, help us make them feel hopeful, resilient and not abandoned. Our work has started with the support of our friends, but we need to scale up our support and expand our reach to fund the increasing gap.

Les initiatives d’aide humanitaire se multiplient, mais elles restent insuffisantes, laissant de nombreuses familles en dehors du champ d’action de ces initiatives. Reefna (notre campagne) est une association basée dans le Sud du Liban qui vise à créer des espaces ouverts et diversifiés pour le dialogue et la réflexion, tout en bâtissant des ponts entre les différentes communautés au Liban. Grâce à notre réseau d’amis et de soutiens, nous avons pu identifier un nombre croissant de familles bloquées dans différents lieux de déplacement, avec peu ou pas d’accès aux services de base. Nous essayons de combler certaines des nombreuses lacunes existantes. Aujourd’hui, nous sommes en contact avec plus de 500 familles qui échappent à la portée des initiatives humanitaires, et nous avons l’intention de changer cela avec votre soutien. Les besoins sont immenses, alors que l’hiver approche. Nous avons pour objectif de fournir une aide alimentaire sèche, des matelas, des médicaments, ainsi que des produits essentiels pour les soins des bébés et l’hygiène féminine à ceux qui en ont besoin. Ces familles traversent des moments difficiles. Aidez-nous à leur donner de l’espoir, à renforcer leur résilience et à leur montrer qu’elles ne sont pas abandonnées. Notre travail a commencé grâce au soutien de nos amis, mais nous devons intensifier nos efforts et élargir notre portée pour répondre à des besoins en constante augmentation.

Hope For Lebanon

Hope For Lebanon
In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, With His help, we proceed... Since the beginning of the blatant aggression against our beloved country and the displacement of our people and loved ones from their villages and cities to areas they deem safe, starting from the last week of September, we have taken it upon ourselves—out of our humanitarian and moral responsibility—to gather whatever we could from generous donors and kind-hearted individuals to support and assist our people in Lebanon in various ways, with our modest resources. This effort has reached numerous areas, starting from Saida and its outskirts to Baabda, Kfarshima, Hayy al-Salam, Choueifat, Damour, Baawarta, Zqaq al-Blat, and also some cases in the north. The aid provided was both financial and material, depending on our capacity. Financial donations were directed toward individual cases of displaced persons residing with relatives, and their needs were primarily for children and the elderly, including diapers, milk, and medicines. We also supplied them with blankets and mattresses. Material assistance was distributed in crowded neighborhoods where each household often shelters more than 10 families. We distributed cooking supplies, canned goods, cleaning supplies of all kinds, bathing soap, and essentials to schools, where each accommodates between 500 to 1,400 people. In these cases, we focused on canned food, bread, water, blankets, mattresses, and cleaning supplies. We also provided medications to the areas of Zqaq al-Blat and Damour, with a focus on anti-inflammatory drugs, fever reducers, and medications for blood pressure, heart, and diabetes, like insulin. All of this work has been documented with receipts, photos, and videos, carefully respecting the dignity of our people without filming any of them, out of sensitivity to their situation. This documentation is intended to establish the credibility of our work and maintain donor trust, given the prevalence of fraudulent organizations exploiting the suffering of our people. Additionally, we distributed clothes to all these centers upon request from families who couldn’t take their basic belongings when leaving their homes. With winter approaching, we call upon our beloved supporters and generous hands to help us provide heaters and gas for our loved ones. We clarify that our work is individual and not affiliated with any organization. Our efforts stem solely from our ethics and sense of responsibility toward our displaced family members. We urge you to support us and stand by our loved ones in these challenging times, as the situation worsens daily with the expansion of aggression into areas once considered safe, forcing people to flee once again, increasing the number of those in need. Whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it. And what greater reward than helping God's creation in these most challenging circumstances. From you, the giving; from us, the service; and from God, the best of rewards.

Monis’ Journey: From Hardships to Hope

Monis’ Journey: From Hardships to Hope
Hello, my name is Monis, a 35-year-old living in the capital city of Amman, Jordan. Since childhood, I have faced significant challenges, having lost both my parents and becoming responsible for my family. Despite these hardships, I found purpose in working with humanitarian organizations, helping others in need. A few years ago, I decided to start my own business and took out a loan from the bank to make this dream a reality. However, like many others, the COVID-19 pandemic turned my life upside down. I lost my entire business and became unable to meet my financial obligations to the bank. My struggles were compounded when my sister was hospitalized, and I had to sell my belongings to cover her medical expenses. Today, I find myself in a difficult situation, with my financial problems worsening each day. Additionally, I have had to postpone my wedding multiple times due to financial challenges, and I fear losing my fiancée, whom I have been engaged to for three years. Despite everything, I have not lost hope. My ambition is to establish an organization to help those affected in my community, which suffers from high poverty rates. I need to raise $20,000 to pay off my debts and get back on my feet. I believe in the goodness of people and hope to find those who can lend a helping hand during these tough times. I can provide any photos or documents to verify my story, and you can contact me via email, phone, or Skype. Thank you very much for your support and assistance in helping me achieve this goal
