Run for Lebanon: Supporting Mothers and Babies
Hello! My name is Ameera Mazraany and I am a Lebanese-American living in Miami, Florida. I am running the Key Biscayne Half Marathon on April 12, 2026 to raise money for families displaced by the war in Lebanon. Right now, many displaced families are struggling to access basic necessities while staying in schools or temporary shelters such as churches, mosques, or public spaces, often sharing a single classroom with 10–20 people who may not even be part of their family. Some are even sleeping in cars. A contact on the ground in Tyre shared that he walks around searching for mothers with babies sleeping in cars so they can be given milk and diapers. While many organizations provide food and basic supplies, support for mothers and infants remains very limited. Something as simple as milk, diapers, or wipes has become difficult to access, and families are forced to make impossible choices every day. My goal is to support 50 mothers and their babies for one full month. Each $60 donation provides one month of necessities for a mother and her baby. The monthly cost breakdown is: - Milk: $40 - Diapers: $15 - Wipes: $5 Even one contribution can make a difference. $60 supports one mother and baby, $120 supports two families, and $300 supports five families. All funds will go to my aunt, Samah, who is on the ground in Lebanon purchasing and delivering essential supplies directly to mothers with infants in need, ensuring that every dollar goes toward essentials that are immediately needed. My Venmo is @ameeramaz if you have trouble donating on this site. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean a lot to me, my family, and the displaced families you are supporting.

Supporting displaced families from South Lebanon

Supporting displaced families from South Lebanon
Since 2024 life has radically changed for Lebanese families from South Lebanon. Now with the Israeli incursion into Lebanese territories and the constant bombing of towns in both the south and the north of the Litani river, families are desperate. While the government continues to open shelters in safe areas and provide basic assistance, the needs are rising far beyond what the government is capable of. Solidarity has never been more crucial and life saving than today. Maataf, a campaign that was established by three organizations rooted in South Lebanon. The Cultural Council for South Lebanon, the Hani Fahs Initiative, and Rifna Association. All three organizations have been at the frontline of emergency response since 2024, and continue to contribute to the relief effort, reaching out to families that have been left behind, helping them cope and providing basic assistance to them. Your donations will go towards providing food, medicine, and clothing. To date, the Maataf campaign has identified and reached out to 1269 families displaced from South Lebanon and Beirut's southern suburb. ------------- French-- epuis 2024, la vie a radicalement changé pour les familles libanaises du sud du Liban. Aujourd’hui, avec l’incursion israélienne sur le territoire libanais et les bombardements constants des villes situées au sud comme au nord du fleuve Litani, les familles sont désespérées. Alors que le gouvernement continue d’ouvrir des abris dans des zones sûres et de fournir une assistance de base, les besoins dépassent largement ses capacités. La solidarité n’a jamais été aussi cruciale et salvatrice qu’aujourd’hui. Maataf est une campagne créée par trois organisations ancrées dans le sud du Liban : le Conseil culturel du Sud Liban, l’Initiative Hani Fahs et l’association Rifna. Ces trois organisations sont en première ligne de la réponse d’urgence depuis 2024 et continuent de contribuer aux efforts de secours en venant en aide aux familles laissées pour compte, en les aidant à faire face et en leur fournissant une assistance de base. Vos dons serviront à fournir de la nourriture, des médicaments et des vêtements. À ce jour, la campagne Maataf a identifié et aidé 1 269 familles déplacées du sud du Liban et de la banlieue sud de Beyrouth. -----------Arabic--- منذ عام 2024، تغيّرت الحياة بشكل جذري للعائلات اللبنانية في جنوب لبنان. واليوم، مع التوغل الإسرائيلي في الأراضي اللبنانية والقصف المستمر للمدن الواقعة جنوب وشمال نهر الليطاني، أصبحت العائلات في حالة يأس شديد. وفي حين تواصل الحكومة فتح مراكز إيواء في المناطق الآمنة وتقديم المساعدات الأساسية، فإن الاحتياجات تفوق بكثير قدراتها. لم تكن التضامنات يومًا أكثر أهمية وإنقاذًا للحياة كما هي اليوم. مَعاطِف هي حملة أُنشئت من قبل ثلاث منظمات متجذرة في جنوب لبنان: المجلس الثقافي لجنوب لبنان، مبادرة هاني فحص، وجمعية رِفنا. وقد كانت هذه المنظمات الثلاث في الخطوط الأمامية للاستجابة الطارئة منذ عام 2024، ولا تزال تساهم في جهود الإغاثة من خلال الوصول إلى العائلات التي تُركت خلفها، ومساعدتها على التكيّف، وتقديم الدعم الأساسي لها. ستُستخدم تبرعاتكم لتوفير الغذاء والدواء والملابس. حتى الآن، تمكنت حملة معاطف من تحديد والوصول إلى 1269 عائلة نازحة من جنوب لبنان والضاحية الجنوبية لبيروت

Help 75 Displaced People in a Beirut Mosque

Solidarity with Lebanon

Help 75 Displaced People in a Beirut Mosque
My name is Georges Haddad. I am a neon artisan and a secular social activist based in Beirut. When crisis hits, I believe in showing up with action, not just words. During the 2024 war, I worked with my friends to support displaced families on the ground. I also organized a "Hunger Strike Chain" action for Gaza and helped gather warm clothes for the Palestinian amputee children being cared for by Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah’s organization here in Beirut. Now, the war is back. This year, the number of displaced people is staggering, and the needs are greater than ever. I am currently focusing my efforts on 22 families—75 people in total—who have taken shelter in a mosque near my home. They have lost everything and are starting from zero. These are families with children, elderly, and people with medical needs who are living in cramped conditions with barely any essentials. I am launching this fundraiser to provide them with: · Food & Water: Daily meals and clean drinking water. · Hygiene Kits: Diapers, baby formula, sanitary products, and soap. · Medicine: Urgent medical supplies and chronic illness medications. · Mattresses & Blankets: So they don’t have to sleep on the cold floor. Because I am working directly with these families, I can guarantee that 100% of your donations will go directly to their immediate needs. I will provide updates with receipts and photos of the aid being distributed. Even a small contribution can provide a meal for a family. Thank you for standing with us during this terrifying time.
