Providing Trauma Therapy for People in Lebanon
While humanitarian efforts focus on food, shelter, and basic needs, mental health support remains critically unaddressed, despite being essential for true, long-term recovery. Let's take a moment to put ourselves in their place. They left their homes not knowing if they will ever see them again. They fled without the chance to gather their belongings, their memories, their lives. Some escaped while violence unfolded around them. Others lost multiple family members in a single moment. And now, they are expected to rebuild from nothing, in the middle of an ongoing financial crisis. These humans need psychological support, and they need it now! But without your help, our ability to reach them remains limited. Through this campaign, we aim to begin by supporting 200 individuals through a team of 10 therapists, with each therapist caring for approximately 20 people. As funding grows, we will expand our team to reach even more people in need. As an association, we significantly reduce the cost of therapy. While sessions typically range between $50–$100, we offer: - 1:1 therapy sessions at $20–$30 per session - Group therapy sessions at $5 per person Therapists are partially compensated. Many contribute with a deep sense of purpose, accepting symbolic compensation that honors their time while allowing them to continue this essential work. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference. It directly funds therapy sessions, supports therapists, and allows us to reach more people who would otherwise be left to face their trauma alone.

Emergency Aid for Families Displaced in Lebanon

Emergency Aid for Families Displaced in Lebanon
Hi, my name is Hoda Ezzeddine and I am raising funds to support families who have been displaced by the ongoing Israeli military escalation in Lebanon. Over the past days, many families in Lebanon have been forced to flee their homes with almost no time to prepare. Entire communities have left behind everything — homes, belongings, and livelihoods — seeking safety in other parts of the country. Many of these families are now staying in temporary shelters, schools, or with relatives. They urgently need basic necessities such as food, baby supplies, hygiene items, mattresses, and emergency medical support. This fundraiser aims to provide direct humanitarian assistance to displaced families, especially those with children, elderly members, and people with medical needs. Funds raised will be used to provide: Food and water Baby formula, diapers, and child essentials Hygiene kits and sanitary products Mattresses, blankets, and basic shelter supplies Emergency medicine and basic medical needs All assistance will be distributed directly to displaced families through myself and a team of local volunteers and community networks on the ground in Lebanon. We will share updates and receipts whenever possible to ensure transparency and show exactly how donations are helping families in need. Even a small contribution can make a difference during this extremely difficult time. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this campaign to help us reach more people. Thank you for your support and solidarity.

A Safe Home for My Family

A Safe Home for My Family
Yet again after 1 year of peace, we were forced to evacuate at 2 AM from our homes under heavy bombings, there's no words that i can say or write that can describe the fear that my family had to endure whilst evacuating, we just left without taking any of our belongings, i couldn't even find the lock for my cats cage so i had to just carry him to the car, where btw he was scared shitless from the sounds so he basically peed on me in the elevator but yeah seeing how scared everyone was on the streets just makes me wonder, since when did we loose our humanity, and seeing today the look on my 11 year old sisters face jusy basically destroyed me, for the second time, i wish again i could do more to my family, to protect them, to never make them feel that horror again. Am a 26 year old lebanese that was forced to evacuate during the first israel bombing on Lebanon with my family of 5 and our cat, we had to just take whatever we can as quick as we can and just get out of the city to my aunts place, and my family haven't even recovered yet from the horrors of the 2024 66 days war, i can type over a million word to explain how hard every second was during this week of war, and how a small thing was so simple back then but now is a big problem to us, and every second of the 2024 war, that's an experience that will never leave my mind, and i want to share with you all 1 story in particular, cause i don't know what else i can do to protect and shelter my family, so ever since the war started, here in lebanon we have a free economy, meaning every apartment owner can decide the rent/price of their houses, but a small 2 bedroom apartment used to average 300 to 400$, but now, since day 1, brokers and apartment owners started monopolizing everything, what was a 300$ rent for a small unfurnished apartment, is now almost a 1000$ + brokers fee + rent paid upfront for a minimum of 3 month, which averages over 3000$ for example, in my family each and every one of us is working, but my brother had been put on hold without salary due to his job being in suburb beirut, and i work remote but my employers paid me half salary cuz they knew i wouldn't be able to work cuz i dont have my equipment with me, but days ago i managed to get my equipment and some of our clothes but there isnt really any room here to put my stuff and work, so what we got is less than 1800$ as a family which is almost half gone since day 1 of the war, and apartment prices are way too extreme for us to be able to afford, and we were over 21 people in my aunts place but we had to move out to another shared apartment where we're staying now in a room with my other cousins so were 14 people , and my family is barely sleeping, were basically taking turns in sleeping, our house in the south of lebanon is completely gone I have pictures and videos of it from when the 2025 war ended but now its under occupation, our apartment in suburb beirut isn't safe to stay in cuz of the constant bombings in the area plus the whole neighborhood being destroyed, last time i checked when i got some of our stuff, our apartment is still there but damaged, i got no news if its still there now but still our apartment in suburb beirut dahyeh is not safe at all to stay in, so i just want to ask you to please help with as much as you can or if anyone has any job opportunities ill happily do 2 jobs to manage, there's probably people that are in much more unfortunate situation than us like the people staying in the streets cause they cant afford anything, if you can please help and spread the word so maybe these brokers will come back to their senses or if there's any fairness in this country that would push them to make the prices more reasonable. I've been trying non stop trying to find an affordable apartment to rent for weeks now, not for me but for my family, together we're jointly managing to survive and hopefully we will get thro this together and your help will be much appreciated cuz it will help us get on our feet so that in the upcoming month we can manage, I wish you all the best and please don't stop talking about lebanon, I wish this nightmare ends soon, and hopefully everyone makes it out safe and sound.
