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

Help my family survive and evacuate Gaza

Family

Help my family survive and evacuate Gaza
I am Sanaa's father.. After we emerged from death.. After our house was destroyed, My wife, my one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and I were expelled by the occupation from northern Gaza and forced to flee on November 11, 2023. We became homeless, without clothing, and without food. Now we live in a tent made of nylon and we are trying to survive in it despite the severe cold and rain. My daughter is getting cold and I cannot provide her with a blanket, clothes, or diapers. Because of the war, I have become unemployed. My family has no income and I cannot provide less than you can imagine for my family due to the high cost of goods and the huge increase in prices. My father, who is also 62 years old, is a war victim and has chronic diseases and is a patient with asthma and pneumonia. He needs continuous treatment and I cannot provide it for him. The money we are seeking to collect will serve two vital purposes. First, it will enable my family to escape the horrors of war in Gaza, and provide them with the necessary means to seek safety in a safer environment. Secondly, the money will be instrumental in rebuilding our lives, whether in Gaza after the war or elsewhere, where peace and stability provide an opportunity for a new beginning. This includes the urgent medical treatment my father needs. We are appealing for your kindness and humanity to help my father and my family during this critical time. Your generosity can provide them with a lifeline, helping them escape the dangers of war and begin the journey towards healing and rebuilding their lives. Please donate even a little for my family because your donation makes a huge difference in our lives. I am here today to ask for your help so that my family can survive and be evacuated from this war and reach true safety and peace. I understand that we are all going through difficult times, so anything helps.. whether it is your love and support, a donation, sharing my story, or sending love, prayers, positive and healing vibes. All is accepted and greatly appreciated.

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.

Funding the Gap: Support the Displaced in Lebanon

Funding the Gap: Support the Displaced in Lebanon
The war on Lebanon rages on and the number of displaced people is constantly increasing as Israel expands its attacks on densely populated civilian towns and neighborhoods across South Lebanon and the Bekaa. Humanitarian aid initiatives are also increasing, but more is still needed, with a large number of families stranded off the radar of these initiatives. Reefna (our countryside) is an association based in Southern Lebanon that aims to create open and diverse spaces for dialogue and thinking and to build bridges between different communities in Lebanon. Through our network of friends and supporters we have gained access to an increasing number of families that are stranded in different displacement locations with little access, if any at all, to basic services. We are trying to fill some of the many gaps. Today we are in touch with more than 500 families who are off the radar of humanitarian assistance, and we intend to change that, with your support. The needs are enormous, with winter closing in. We aim to provide dry food assistance, mattresses, medicine, and baby care essentials and female hygiene products for those in need. These families have rough moments ahead of them, help us make them feel hopeful, resilient and not abandoned. Our work has started with the support of our friends, but we need to scale up our support and expand our reach to fund the increasing gap.

Les initiatives d’aide humanitaire se multiplient, mais elles restent insuffisantes, laissant de nombreuses familles en dehors du champ d’action de ces initiatives. Reefna (notre campagne) est une association basée dans le Sud du Liban qui vise à créer des espaces ouverts et diversifiés pour le dialogue et la réflexion, tout en bâtissant des ponts entre les différentes communautés au Liban. Grâce à notre réseau d’amis et de soutiens, nous avons pu identifier un nombre croissant de familles bloquées dans différents lieux de déplacement, avec peu ou pas d’accès aux services de base. Nous essayons de combler certaines des nombreuses lacunes existantes. Aujourd’hui, nous sommes en contact avec plus de 500 familles qui échappent à la portée des initiatives humanitaires, et nous avons l’intention de changer cela avec votre soutien. Les besoins sont immenses, alors que l’hiver approche. Nous avons pour objectif de fournir une aide alimentaire sèche, des matelas, des médicaments, ainsi que des produits essentiels pour les soins des bébés et l’hygiène féminine à ceux qui en ont besoin. Ces familles traversent des moments difficiles. Aidez-nous à leur donner de l’espoir, à renforcer leur résilience et à leur montrer qu’elles ne sont pas abandonnées. Notre travail a commencé grâce au soutien de nos amis, mais nous devons intensifier nos efforts et élargir notre portée pour répondre à des besoins en constante augmentation.

Give Baby Jawad a life-saving heart surgery

Give Baby Jawad a life-saving heart surgery
UPDATE: We have lowered the fundraising goal because the family has been able to find another hospital, Hotel Dieu, with specialists who can do the surgery at a much lower cost than the American University of Beirut Medical Center. The total cost of the surgery will be $20,000, and $10,000 of that will be covered by a philanthropic fund. HOWEVER, the hospital will not admit baby Jawad or do the surgery until the receive the full amount. In addition, the family has already incurred several thousand dollars in costs for his care at the hospital where he was born, which does not have the ability to do the surgery. We urgently need to reach $10,000 in order to be able to get him admitted to Hotel Dieu and into surgery. Baby Jawad was born in a Beirut hospital with a heart defect that requires open heart surgery. He urgently needs to be transferred to the American University of Beirut Medical Center where specialists are prepared to perform the surgery, but the cost - even after a discount from the hospital and contribution by a philanthropic fund - is $41,000, and the hospital requires an upfront payment of $20,000 before they will transfer him. Baby Jawad's parents have no way to raise that kind of money. His mother's heart is breaking. Please help save Baby Jawad's life and give him and his family a future. If the full amount of funds is not raised via this campaign, the money will still be given to the family to go toward the medical costs for baby Jawad's care.

Hope in Action
“Soon I will be cold, I left my cloths at home. Soon I will be sick, I left my pills at home. Soon I will be sad, because I left my heart at home” , Zeina a displaced young Lebanese woman. “They Came, we welcomed, they needed food, we provided, they needed shelter we offered our homes. We shared what we had, will always do ... Until there is nothing enough to be shared” Boutros a vulnerable Lebanese hosting a displaced family. In the midst of Lebanon's most devastating humanitarian crisis, 1.2 million people have been forced to flee their homes, leaving behind their livelihoods and communities. With an overwhelmed healthcare system, soaring food insecurity, and rising prices, countless Lebanese families are struggling to access even the basics—food, medicine, and hygiene essentials. However, the host communities that CHREEK already serves are among the poorest in Lebanon and are themselves in a state of critical need. Many of these communities are facing severe poverty, with scarce resources now stretched beyond their limits as they work to accommodate and support displaced families. Our priority is to bring urgent assistance not only to the displaced but also to the hosting communities who are bearing the brunt of this crisis. Without immediate support, both groups face worsening shortages in essential resources, putting lives at risk and straining an already fragile social fabric. Your contribution will allow us to provide crucial aid—including food, hygiene kits, emergency shelter, and medical supplies—that can sustain both the displaced and the communities sheltering them. This campaign isn’t just about short-term relief; it’s about empowering our communities to rebuild. CHREEK NGO, a locally trusted organization with over 10 years of experience in crisis management, is dedicated to delivering not only immediate aid but also hope and lasting support to the Lebanese people. Why CHREEK Stands Out • Transparent and Direct Impact: With a clear breakdown of every dollar, you’ll know how your donation provides real, tangible support to those who need it most. Each $10 donated supplies a hygiene kit; each $50 funds a month’s worth of food; every $100 helps provide critical medication for the elderly and vulnerable. • Supporting Local Resilience: CHREEK’s approach combines emergency relief with projects designed to foster community resilience. We work hand-in-hand with local leaders and communities to create solutions that will continue to support people long after immediate relief efforts are over. • An Invitation to Be a Lifeline: We’re not just asking for donations; we’re inviting you to be part of a family committed to rebuilding hope in Lebanon. Your support today has the power to sustain a community tomorrow. Use of Funds • 40% - Urgent Food & Hygiene Kits: Directly delivered to families and shelters. • 30% - Critical Medication: Focusing on chronic illness support and emergency medical supplies. • 20% - Shelter & Hygiene: Essential supplies for temporary shelters and displacement camps. • 10% - Supporting Sustainable Efforts: Developing community-led projects to ensure food security and economic resilience. One could ask, what can one organization do to a country? What can my dollar do to help anybody? Your dollar has a specific small impact like our action to these 2 million problems!!! They would be one problem less! We need you!
