Little can make difference
We're reaching out to you today with heavy hearts, on behalf of our beloved Uncle Ridwan Abdul Karim Nadi and his family seeking your support. Ridwan is a 66-year-old father of five and grandpa to two granddaughters. He has been suffering from Heart Arrhythmia for over 17 years. He's had a Pacemaker inserted over 3 times. Unfortunately, he now has a Dilated Cardiomyopathy and is in need of a Heart Transplant. Due to no heart available at this time, he must undergo a procedure where an LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) needs to be inserted into his body. The cost of this is $150,000 US Dollars. Ridwan has been hospitalized for a little over a month in the ICU and is experiencing severe shortness of breath and edema, which is trapping fluid in his body, causing swelling and pain. He is experiencing many complications because of his heart not pumping efficiently. Without the machines and care provided at the hospital, he will not make it. Including his current hospital fees, this procedure will cost $180,000. This is the only option we have. We're asking for your help to give Ridwan a chance to live a healthy & happy life. Ridwan is a very kind and thoughtful person who is loved by everyone around him. He has always been there for friends and family, even when he wasn't in his healthiest state. He always puts others before himself. We'd like to pay it forward with the help of your donations to provide him with a functional heart. Ridwan would love to live to see his children get married and be successful in their careers. Together, we can help in this critical moment and make a difference in his life. Any and all donations are very much appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please share his story in efforts to reach our goal. Thank you.

Together Towards Lebanon

Education

Together Towards Lebanon
اهلاً بكم في مدرستنا، مدرسة خرّجت أجيالاً عديدة. تقع مدرستنا في القاع، على الحدود اللبنانية- السورية في منطقة نائية. تسعى مدرستنا الى تطوير قدراتنا ودعمنا على كافة الصعد. لذا، ساعدتنا لنكون ضمن مشروع العمل التعاوني المدرسي الذي تأسس كمشروع تعاون بين التعاونيات الإيطالية في ترنتو Cooperazione Trentina. وأسسنا ضمن هذا المشروع تعاونيتنا الخاصة التي تهدف الى تسليط الضوء على الأماكن السياحية المهملة في لبنان. في الفيديو، نصطحبكم في رحلتنا مع عينك على بلدك، وهي تعاونية مدرسية مخصصة لعرض المناطق السياحية الأقل شهرة في لبنان. تتألف حملتنا من مبادرتين مهمتين: الأولى تتضمن زيارة هذه الأماكن غير المعروفة لالتقاط مقاطع فيديو مذهلة سيتم مشاركتها لاحقًا على منصات التواصل الاجتماعي. نحن نؤمن بأن هذه المواقع تستحق أن يراها الجميع ويقدرونها، ونحن ملتزمون بتسليط الضوء على جمالها. بالإضافة إلى عرض هذه الجواهر المخفية، فإننا ملتزمون أيضًا بالحفاظ على البيئة. وبينما نستكشف هذه المناطق، سنقوم بحملات نظافة وسنحفز الأولاد الآخرين على المحافظة على النظافة. ومن خلال القيام بذلك، فإننا لا نحافظ على نظافة هذه المناظر الطبيعية فحسب، بل نساهم أيضًا في حماية البيئة. ولتحقيق مهمتنا، نسعى إلى جمع 5000 دولار. كل مساهمة ستحدث فرقاً في جهودنا لإبراز جمال لبنان الخفي وحماية بيئته. انضم إلينا في هذه القضية المهمة وكن جزءًا من شيء مميز حقًا. Welcome to our school, a school that has graduated many generations. Our school is located in al-Qaa, on the Lebanese-Syrian border in a remote area. Our school seeks to develop our capabilities and support us at all levels. It helped us to be part of the school cooperative program that was developed after a methodology created by the Cooperazione Trentina (Italian cooperation in Trento). As part of this project, we established our own cooperative that aims to highlight neglected tourist places in Lebanon. In the video, we take you on our journey with your eye on your country, a school cooperative dedicated to highlight on the less familiar tourist areas of Lebanon. Our campaign consists of two important initiatives: the first involves visiting these little-known places to capture amazing videos that will later be shared on social media platforms. We believe that these sites deserve to be seen and valued by everyone, and we are committed to highlighting their beauty. In addition to displaying these hidden gems, we are also committed to preserving the environment. As we explore these areas, we will conduct cleaning campaigns and motivate other children to keep the places they visit clean. By doing so, we not only keep these landscapes clean, but we also contribute to protecting the environment. To achieve our mission, we seek to raise $5,000. Every contribution will make a difference in our efforts to highlight Lebanon's hidden beauty and protect its environment. Join us on this important cause and be part of something truly special.

حملة إغاثة لمساعدة النازحين من الجنوب

حملة إغاثة لمساعدة النازحين من الجنوب
منذ الثامن من اكتوبر حتى اليوم، نزح ما يقارب ٩٠ الف عائلة من جنوب لبنان. تزامن ذلك مع ضعف شديد في الاستجابة من معظم الجمعيات المحلية و الدولية إلى جانب صمت مريب عن اطلاق اي مبادرات لدعم النازحين. هذه العائلات التي تعيش سواءا في مراكز الإيواء او الشقق المستأجرة تعاني من ضغوطات اقتصادية و معيشية شديدة. لذلك تطلق مبادرة "ارض و ناس" حملة تبرع لمساندة أهلنا المهجرين من الجنوب عبر تمويل حصص غذائية او مساعدات نقدية مباشرة. حيث تهدف هذه التبرعات إلى دعم صمود الآلاف من السكّان. إلى جانب ذلك ستقوم الحملة بالإضاءة على أحوال أهلنا و الصعوبات التي يعانون منها وسط تعمية اعلامية شبة كاملة. Since October 8th until today, approximately 90,000 families have been displaced from southern Lebanon. This coincided with a severe lack of response from most local and international associations, alongside a suspicious silence regarding the launch of any initiatives to support the displaced. These families, whether living in shelters or rented apartments, are suffering from severe economic and livelihood pressures. Therefore, the "Ared w Nas" initiative is launching a donation campaign to support the displaced people from the south by financing food rations or direct cash assistance. These donations aim to support thousands of residents. Additionally, the campaign will shed light on the conditions of our people and the difficulties they are facing amidst near-complete media blackout.

Karma - Let their best memories be tomorrow
Karma is a Lebanese NGO advocating for equal access to the basic human right of healthcare for children. Karma’s mission is to support the treatment of vulnerable pediatric patients with cancer and thalassemia in Lebanon. To date, Karma has supported the treatment of more than 120 children with cancer and 130 children with thalassemia. Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder that causes chronic anemia. Patients require life-long blood transfusions among other medical services necessary to keep them in good health and prevent complications of the disease. Left untreated, the life expectancy of a thalassemia patient drops significantly. Since June 2023, Karma delivers comprehensive multidisciplinary care to 90 vulnerable children with Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia in Lebanon. Karma’s aim is to increase their chances of survival, prevent complications of the disease, and improve the quality of their lives. Karma free of charge services include covering the cost of hospitalization for phenotyped blood transfusions at Elias Hrawi Governmental Hospital in Zahle, organization of blood donation campaigns in partnership with the Lebanese Red Cross, distribution of medications, granting transportation allowance for the families, and referrals for medical consultations. Today, Karma is asking for your support to be able to sustain this project, and continue delivering the care necessary for our little patients’ survival and growth, hoping that their best memories will be tomorrow.
