Homeless dogs need you
Hi! My name is Natalia, I'm organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Mount Lebanon Shelter. This Christmas, we all have the chance to make a life-changing difference for over 50 animals in need. Donate to make a dog’s Christmas wish come true. At Mount Lebanon Shelter, a small but mighty dog charity run by a single, devoted lady, who works tirelessly to care for and provide hope to animals who have been abandoned, neglected, or left without a home. Every dog has a story, and every dog deserves love and a future. Unfortunately, this work doesn’t come without a heavy cost. With medical bills mounting and limited resources, we are reaching out for your support. Together, we can give these animals the chance they deserve by covering critical medical expenses and providing them with the care they need to recover, thrive, and eventually find their forever homes, in Lebanon and abroad. By the end of this year, the goal is to raise enough funds, to clear these medical bills and ensure these animals can continue to receive the care they deserve. This holiday season, we ask for your help in making that possible. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to giving these precious souls the care they need. As you celebrate the season of giving, consider the warmth you can bring to a shelter dog’s heart this Christmas. Even a small 10 dollar contribution, will make a big big difference. Let’s work together to make this a season of hope, love, and second chances. Thank you for your donations!

Nahfeh Studios Fundraiser

Business

Nahfeh Studios Fundraiser
Introduction Nahfeh Studios, a leading artisanal business specializing in crochet goods, is seeking to launch a crowdfunding campaign to support our mission of empowering artisans and expanding our product offerings. This document outlines the plan for our crowdfunding campaign, including our story, goals, rewards, marketing strategies, and timeline. Our Story Nahfeh Studios story began in 2014 after two years of Eesa leaving his engineering studies in Aleppo and returning to his hometown of Jableh in Latakia. Facing new challenges, Eesa and his siblings started a small business inspired by their mother's handmade winter clothes. What began with a $10 investment has grown into a flourishing artisanal business. Despite the ongoing challenges, including fleeing to Lebanon, Eesa has continued to collaborate with Syrian women refugees to create authentic, tradition-inspired, and practical handmade products. Today, I’m entering a new phase. The home you saw in my videos and the studio you loved and asked me about are no longer there. Every piece of them is now in a different place, but I know they are with people who appreciate their value. At the same time, I don’t want to stop. I want to continue, but I need help to keep Nahfeh going. Soon, I’ll be in Syria, but I truly need a way to expand my work and reach more people worldwide. That’s why I launched a fundraiser, which you can find in my bio. This crowdfunding campaign will help me restart my business, build a website, create job opportunities for crochet artisans, and train new people in crochet and other crafts. If you can support—even with a small amount—or simply share the link with someone who can donate, you’ll be contributing to a project that will empower the community in Syria, starting from my village and reaching anyone in need across the country. Goals The primary goal of our crowdfunding campaign is to raise funds to expand Nahfeh Studios. Specifically, we aim to: - Purchase new materials and tools - Increase production capacity - Provide more training and support to our artisans - Develop new product lines - Enhance our marketing efforts to reach a broader audience -Launching Online shop

Help Me Rebuild Hope This Christmas

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

Solidarity with Lebanon

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
