Help Us Save Our Dogs from Disease!
Many of our shelter dogs come to us plagued by a silent but deadly threat: fleas and ticks. We recently lost Nugget due to the silent nature of parasites. These parasites not only cause discomfort and distress but can also lead to severe health issues if left untreated. That's why we're reaching out to you today with an urgent plea for help. We're launching a fundraising campaign to provide Nexgard, a crucial flea and tick treatment, to our furry residents. Nexgard is more than just a preventive measure; it's a lifeline for these vulnerable animals. We need to raise $1235 to cover Nexgard fees for our dogs. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will make a world of difference. With Nexgard, we can safeguard these precious lives against the perils of parasitic infestations, giving them a fighting chance at finding their forever homes. But that's not all. We also need your support for our 4DX tests, which are vital for our dogs' health. These tests cost us over $2000 USD, but they provide invaluable insights into our dogs' well-being, ensuring they're in top shape before they find their forever homes. We take pride in giving our dogs the best care possible, and we couldn't do it without your support! Your donations help us cover the costs of these tests, allowing us to continue providing top-notch care and support for our beloved pups. Please, don't let these dogs suffer needlessly. Donate now and be a hero in their eyes. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of shelter dogs. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Bringing light back
Dear friends and community, I'm Ali's wife and it is with a heavy heart that I share the story of my husband, who just turned 30. Few years ago Ali stared developing serious visual symptoms that showed up starting with tripping and knocking into stuff that where right infront of him, unable to see at night and taking him a little too long to notice things around. So we went to a specialist who diagnosed Ali with Retinitis Pigmentosa a rare eye disease affecting around one in every 4,000 people worldwide, that causes visual impairment that impacts daily life and when we asked about the next steps, the doctor replied, “There’s really nothing you can do about this” and estimated that he will lose his sight in 7 yrs from now. The shocking news where devastating and the stress & sadness overtook us for a while. However, although retinitis pigmentosa is not treatable you can still get help to manage the condition with restoration therapy to restore visual function and increase functionality of preserved cells which leads to improvement in vision and slower the progression of the disease and thus he can preserve his vision for a longer period of time. Going through restoration therapy is Ali's only hope for him to preserve his vision and fulfill his only wish of expanding our family and have children without him being worried that he wont be able to see there faces or protect them from any harm. So my friend your support will mean the world for us, it will be an inspiration to hold out hope, especially from people who understands the emotional side of things and what you and your family members are going through. Hope this letter reaches you. Thank you Sincerely.

Help us save my father
Hello, I am Sarah Sarkis, the daughter of Mr. Abboud Sarkis who was admitted on the morning of 29/12/2023 to LAU medical center, St John's hospital, jounieh and has been lying in the ICU bed ever since. He was diagnosed with severe pneumonia that required intubation which he miraculously survived given the comorbidities he has. During the recovery or weaning phase, he caught another lung infection due to an immunodeficiency. The second infection necessitated another intubation in less than one month and several rounds of dialysis as his kidneys condition worsened under the effect of the infections and the intubation and extubation process. Last week, his platelets count started dropping for no specific reason, hence a bone marrow aspiration or biopsy was carried out by Dr. Anwar Shayya to find the leading cause. My father is surrounded by the ICU doctors Dr. Chalouhi and Dr. Iskandar, the best nephrologist, Dr. Zeina Meshref and the medical and psychological support provided by the hospital personnel is unprecedented, yet the medical bills are spiking as his health keeps failing him whenever we start believing that he is getting better. My family managed to pay an amount of 24,000$ out of the total bills amount and the modest NSSF coverage barely reimburses 10% of the hospital fees. Therefore, the family decided to start this fundraising campaign in order to help my father continue his treatment and hopefully return to his home and family. All details concerning my father's case including copies of paid bills and medical reports are available upon demand and can be provided if you contact us on 03/467343. The people who got to know my father including all the students he taught over his 45 years in the educational field know what a wonderful teacher and a dedicated man he is.
