Everyday is a fight for survival
We fled our home countries in search of safety, but what we found here is another form of suffering. Every day is a fight for survival. We face hostility, discrimination, and the constant fear of violence simply because of who we are. As LGBT people, we are not only outsiders in the refugee community but also rejected by the very systems that are supposed to protect us. Our living conditions are dire. Many days, we go to bed hungry. There is never enough to eat, and our bodies grow weaker each day. Clean drinking water is scarce, and we are often forced to drink unsafe water that makes us sick. When illness spreads in the camp, we have no access to proper medicine or healthcare. Even treatable conditions can become life-threatening. The rainy season is here, and our shelters are falling apart. The ground floods, leaving us cold, wet, and vulnerable. On top of this, we endure constant stigma. Being LGBT in this environment makes us targets for abuse and harassment. It often feels like the world has forgotten us. But we have not given up hope. We believe that with your support, we can survive this and work toward a safer future. We are raising funds to cover the most urgent needs: Food supplies to keep us alive and healthy. Clean water and basic sanitation to prevent disease. Essential medication and healthcare support. Stronger shelter to protect us during the rains. Advocacy and resources to help us find resettlement in safer countries where we can live freely and without fear. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly impact our survival and give us a chance to live with dignity. Please stand with us in solidarity. Together, we can make it through this darkness and move toward a brighter, safer future.

Before she goes to sleep hungry, be her savior

Before she goes to sleep hungry, be her savior
This is a true story On a dark, moonless night... Layan was crying silently, so as not to wake her hungry brothers... because she knew that nothing would calm their crying if they woke up. This six-year-old girl is no longer afraid of the dark... Rather, she is afraid of the morning, because with her comes a new day of hunger, cold, and waiting. Since she lost her home, she no longer knows what “home” means. All she knows now is a worn-out tent, through which the wind seeps like cold knives tearing through their small bodies. Every night, she held her sister tightly and tried to give her warmth... but in reality, she was looking for warmth for herself. Her mother asks in a weak voice: “Mom...why does my stomach hurt?” The mother replied while hiding her tears: “Tomorrow we will eat, my love.” But “tomorrow” does not come... and hunger is merciless. In another corner of the camp, “Marwan” sits...an eight-year-old child, but his features bear the pain of a man exhausted by life. He stands for long hours under the sun or the cold, searching the ground for anything that can be sold...a piece of plastic...an empty can...anything. Not because he wants money... but because he just wants to see his brothers sleep without crying. One day, Marwan returned with a little food in his hand... His little sister ran towards him happily, thinking he had brought her food... But what he had in his hand was not enough to even meet one person's thirst. He looked at her...then gave her everything he had, and said: “I'm not hungry...” Even though his stomach was screaming in pain. These children do not represent a single case... but rather thousands of untold stories. Children lost their homes, schools, toys... and even their sense of security. Children live every day as if it were a battle for survival. 💔 Why is this donation important? Because there are children who now sleep without dinner... Because there is a mother who has nothing to silence her child’s crying... Because there is a family shivering from the cold and cannot find a blanket... Because there is a childhood being stolen before our eyes... and we can save it. Your donation today can be: 🍞 A meal saves a child from hunger 🧥 A blanket that protects him from the harsh cold 💧 Clean water preserves health 📚 A small chance to dream again

Run for Lebanon: Supporting Mothers and Babies

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. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean a lot to me, my family, and the displaced families you are supporting.
