Help Me Rebuild Hope This Christmas
I am fundraising on behalf of my best friend. Here is her story: This year has been one of the hardest of my life. I’m carrying the heavy burden of debts that piled up after being forced to stop working due to the effects of war. Now, I’m struggling to get back on my feet while facing overwhelming challenges. I urgently need to cover the costs of medical tests and medications, but I simply don’t have the resources to afford them especially since I don’t have health insurance. On top of this, I’ve been helping my family by contributing to the cost of their medications, which has added to the financial strain add to that when I was back home I had to take debts from people to pay my rent in Beirut and to also contribute in the expenses at home so I have people to pay back that can’t wait much longer. To make matters worse, the restaurant where I work (a lifeline for me) is in danger of closing if it doesn’t make a profit by April, leaving me without an income. This constant uncertainty feels like too much to bear alone. Your support could help me through this incredibly difficult time. Donations will go toward: Paying off debts that accumulated when I couldn’t work Covering the costs of my medical tests and essential medications Helping me continue supporting my family with their medication needs Providing some stability as I try to rebuild my life This Christmas, all I wish for is the chance to start over. Any contribution, no matter the size, will bring me one step closer to stability and hope. If you can’t donate, sharing my story would mean the world to me. Thank you for being part of my journey to brighter days.

Help me and my family escape from Gaza

Help me and my family escape from Gaza
‏I am Nada Al-Sahar communicating with you from northern Gaza With an appeal that echoes the cries of my family in desperate need of your support. Nada Al-Sahar's family, once thriving in their home and business, now finds themselves on the brink of despair after facing unimaginable loss and hardship. In the wake of relentless conflict, my family was stripped of everything they cherished – their home, their livelihood, and worst of all the loss of the lives of two beloved family members. ‏As you know, my parents are elderly, I was their sole breadwinner, and I had my own independent business, and because of the barbaric war, my workplace and all our dreams were demolished. ‏We also have two patients. My father suffers from a chronic disease, which is high blood pressure, and he also suffers from a pulmonary crisis. My mother also suffers from heart disease and high blood pressure. Also, her eye was affected by white phosphorus resulting from the war, resulting in defective vision. This is very bad for us, and increases our pain and burning, ‏We cry a lot because of what these planes brought us. Now, they left nothing behind, and forced us to attack in Batman to life in Gaza without shelter, without livelihood, and with no hope for the future. The situation in Gaza is terrifying. Food scarcity has reached such extreme levels that it has been completely pushed to the brink of famine. Nada Al-Sahar's family, like many others, is struggling to survive, resorting endlessly in desperation just to put food on the table. ‏Their only desire now is to escape the cycle of violence and uncertainty – to seek refuge in a place where we can live in peace, dignity and security. But the path to freedom is fraught with obstacles, and my family cannot embark on this journey alone. Thanks to your generous contributions, we can provide Nada Al-Sahar's family with the means to rebuild their shattered lives. ‏The funds raised will go towards their immediate needs, including food, shelter, and the purchase of medicine and basic supplies. Additionally, your support will help cover travel costs as they seek to leave Gaza behind and start over in a safer environment. The road ahead is long and arduous, but with your help, we can offer Nada Al-Sahar’s family a ray of hope in the midst of the darkness. Your donations, regardless of the amount, ‏No matter the amount, you will make a huge difference in their lives, giving them the opportunity to regain their dignity and rebuild their future. If you need further evidence of their plight, I am more than willing to provide videos and photos documenting their struggles. Your compassion and generosity will not go unnoticed. Thank you for opening your hearts to Nada's family and for your solidarity with the people of Gaza during this humanitarian crisis. With sincere gratitude. Nada Al-Sahar

Hello les ami.e.s, Je m'appelle Hind Hamdan, je suis Libanaise et Française, actuellement basée à Beyrouth. Au cours des deux derniers mois, le Liban a traversé l'une de ses pires crises humanitaires en raison des attaques israéliennes en cours. Près de 3 500 personnes ont été tuées, plus de 15 000 blessées, et environ 1,2 million de personnes ont été déplacées jusqu'à présent. Dans l'absence totale du gouvernement intérimaire et le manque de financement suffisant pour faire face à la crise, de nombreuses initiatives communautaires, existantes ou nouvellement créées, ont pris les devants pour soutenir les personnes déplacées en leur fournissant un abri, de la nourriture, des médicaments, des vêtements, ainsi que des activités éducatives et récréatives pour les enfants. Je suis en contact direct avec plusieurs de ces initiatives et j’ai déjà collecté des fonds pour certaines d’entre elles. Comme vous le savez peut-être, plus la crise se prolonge, moins les financements sont disponibles. Nous avons besoin de votre soutien. L’hiver approche et les besoins sont immenses. Tout soutien que nous pourrons recevoir sera crucial pour aider ceux qui affrontent des épreuves inimaginables en ce moment. Si vous ne pouvez pas faire de don mais souhaitez tout de même aider, veuillez envisager de partager ce message avec d’autres personnes qui pourraient être intéressées à contribuer. Plus nous pourrons diffuser ce message largement, plus nous pourrons rassembler de soutien pour ceux qui en ont besoin. Une fois la collecte de fonds terminée, tous les fonds seront redistribués en fonction de l’urgence et des besoins des initiatives suivantes : 1- Livraison quotidienne d'articles essentiels aux familles déplacées - Repas chauds et produits de première nécessité - Médicaments et traitements médicaux - Produits menstruels - Lait infantile - Vêtements d'hiver et chauffage Lien pour les deux initiatives: a. https://www.instagram.com/p/DAxhwjsM6O8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== b. https://www.instagram.com/p/DBtz9J7smBH/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 2- Soutien aux enfants déplacés et à leur santé mentale : - Distribution de sacs-cadeaux avec des fournitures artistiques - Fourniture de mini-bibliothèques dans les écoles transformées en refuges Un lien pour l'initiative https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCbSZ4DsU7C/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 3. Fourniture d’assistance aux travailleuses domestiques migrantes, souvent négligées et particulièrement vulnérables en cette période. Hello friends, My name is Hind Hamdan, I am Lebanese and French, currently based in Beirut. Over the past two months, Lebanon has gone through one of its worst humanitarian crises due to ongoing Israeli attacks. Nearly 3,500 people have been killed, over 15,000 injured, and about 1.2 million people have been displaced so far. In the complete absence of the interim government and the lack of sufficient funding to address the crisis, many community initiatives, both existing and newly created, have stepped up to support displaced people by providing shelter, food, medicine, clothing, as well as educational and recreational activities for children. I am in direct contact with several of these initiatives, and I have already raised funds for some of them. As you may know, the longer the crisis lasts, the less funding becomes available. We need your support. Winter is approaching, and the needs are immense. Any support we can receive will be crucial in helping those facing unimaginable hardships right now. If you are unable to make a donation but still want to help, please consider sharing this message with others who might be interested in contributing. The more widely we can spread this message, the more support we can gather for those in need. Once the fundraising is complete, all funds will be redistributed based on the urgency and needs of the following initiatives: 1. Daily delivery of essential items to displaced families - Hot meals and basic necessities - Medicine and medical treatments - Menstrual products - Baby formula - Winter clothing and heating Links for the two initiatives: a. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCbSZ4DsU7C/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://www.instagram.com/p/DAxhwjsM6O8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 2. Support for displaced children and their mental health - Distribution of gift bags with art supplies - Providing mini-libraries in schools turned into shelters A link for the initiative: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCbSZ4DsU7C/? 3. Providing assistance to migrant domestic workers, who are often neglected and especially vulnerable during this period.

Essential help for Lebanese Displaced Families
لقد عملت يوميًا على ما مدى شهرين لمساعدة أهالينا النازحين من البقاع والجنوب وبيروت وكافة المدن التي نُكِبت جرّاء الحرب والقصف العنيف. رأيت من خسر بيته وأفراد من عائلته وجميع ثروته التي خزنها في المنزل الذي دُمِّر (بسبب فقدان اللبنانيين الثقة بالبنوك جرّاء الإنهيار الإقتصادي ، خبّأ أغلب الشعب اللبناني ما يملك من نقود ودهب في المنزل). رأيت أهلي وناسي وشعب الكرامة يفترش الطرقات ويصطفّ ليحصل على الحليب لطفله.. ولكم أن تتخيّلوا ما شاهدت من كوارث صعبٌ وصفها. لكنني بفضل الله وبفضلكم استطعت أن أأوي أكثر من ٥ عائلات تحت سقف منزل وأعيل أكثر من ٥٠ عائلة وتأمين الأدوية المزمنة إلى أكثر من ١٠٠ شخص على مدى الشهرين الماضيين . وبسبب نقص المساعدات التي تصل إلى المناطق المستهدفة والخطرة، كنت أذهب أسبوعيًا إلى منطقة منهم للمساعدة قدر الإمكان. لم تزل الحرب على لبنان مستمرّة ولم يزل أهلنا بحاجة للمساعدة من : تأمين إيجارات البيوت التي سبق إستئجارها إلى تأمين الحليب والحفاضات للرضّع إلى الأدوية المزمنة للمسنّين. كل ١$ يحدث فارقًا، نحن ما زلنا بأمسّ الحاجة إليكم . نعمل جاهدين ليلًا نهارًا لإيصال تبرّعاتكم وتوثيقها . أجركم عند الله كبير إن شاء الله 🙏🏻 - سِلين غندور

Solidarity with Lebanon

2ila al Nas (To the People)
“2ila al nas” is a social and humanitarian youth organization founded in January 2024, aiming to unite young people around local cooperative work to support the community at various stages. Before the expansion of the Israeli war on Lebanon, the organization visited our people along the border, providing them with essential supplies. In September, the organization facilitated the reception of displaced individuals in several areas of Beirut and villages in Northern Metn, such as Zaroun, Dhour El Choueir, and Mtein. Since then, it has been assisting in meeting the needs of displaced people in 11 shelter centers, in addition to supporting more than 2,000 individuals in homes across Beirut, Metn, and Keserwan. جمعية "إلى الناس" هي منظمة اجتماعية وإنسانية شبابية تأسست في كانون الثاني 2024، وتهدف إلى توحيد الشباب حول العمل التعاوني المحلي لدعم المجتمع في مختلف المراحل. قبل توسّع الحرب الإسرائيلية على لبنان، قامت الجمعية بزيارة أهلنا على الشريط الحدودي وتوفير الأساسيات لهم. وفي أيلول، سهّلت الجمعية استقبال النازحين في عدة مناطق في بيروت وقرى المتن الشمالي، مثل زرعون، ضهور الشوير، والمتين. ومنذ ذلك الحين، تساهم في تلبية احتياجات النازحين في 11 مركز إيواء، بالإضافة إلى دعم أكثر من 2000 شخص في المنازل ضمن بيروت والمتن وكسروان. تركّز الجمعية بشكل أساسي على توفير الاحتياجات الطبية، الفُرش والبطانيات، المواد الغذائية، إلى جانب تنظيم برامج ثقافية وترفيهية تهدف إلى خلق بيئة سليمة ومستقرة لأهلنا النازحين.
