Help These Feet Keep Moving Forward
Help These Feet Keep Moving Forward
Hi everyone, i'm meisya I am a student from Indonesia who is struggling to keep moving forward to reach my dreams. I really want to achieve my goals, but realistically, it feels impossible. Why? Because my family’s financial condition doesn’t really support me in pursuing my dream. But still, I believe that God always has His own way to make everything possible. Sometimes I feel a bit sad when I see my friends getting extra education such as private courses or tutoring. But don’t worry — even when I feel down, I never choose to give up. I always study by myself using whatever I have. I also try to earn money by selling small things, even though I only make about $1.20 (around Rp 20,000) per week. Still, I’m grateful that at least I have some income. I rarely spend money at school because I prefer to save it for my college education. But sadly, my savings often have to be used for my family’s needs. Even when I feel discouraged, I keep trying to stay strong. That’s why I created this fundraising campaign — to ask for your support, your spirit, and your prayers to help me continue my journey in life and achieve my dreams, which are built upon kindness and the help of people like you. Thank you so much for your prayers and support. With love, Meisya from Indonesia 🇮🇩 The first thing I want to use this donation money for: 1. Buying a laptop, because in my whole life, I have never had a laptop. Even when I joined exams or competitions such as OPSI and OSN, I had to borrow a laptop from my relatives or friends, even though they were not very willing to lend it. The laptop I want to buy is Laptop (Intel i5/i7 new generation, durable and strong for studying and competitions) priced at around $910 (Rp 15,000,000). The price is quite high because I hope with that quality, the laptop will last longer, and I won’t need to buy another one again. I also want to look for supporting educational facilities such as courses. Because of financial limitations, I always study autodidactically. Even so, I always become one of the top three students in my class, but I feel that it’s still not enough for me. That’s why I really need additional learning support such as: 2. English Course (EF Basic + IELTS Preparation) $12 per session × 12 sessions per month × 8 months = $1,160 (Rp 19,200,000) to help me improve my English score. 3. Mathematics Course (Kumon, High School level) $455 (Rp 6,000,000) for 8 months, including registration fee. 4. Mandarin Course (LIA) $245 (Rp 4,000,000) for 8 months as an additional foreign language I learn at school. 5. Official IELTS Test — $180 (Rp 3,000,000) to measure my English progress. 6. University tuition fee — $9,200 (Rp 152,000,000) 7. Dormitory — $730 (Rp 12,000,000) 8. Insurance — $60 (Rp 1,000,000) 💰 Total amount needed: $12,740 (around Rp 210,200,000) The total amount I need is $12,740 to support my educational process — from learning facilities to daily study needs (laptop, tutoring, transportation, books, and other learning expenses) — so I can study better and reach achievements. Previously, I never joined the courses that I mentioned above. Those are the ones my friends from the top class recommended to me, but because the price was too expensive, it was impossible for me to join. That’s why I hope that with this fundraising and your donations, I can finally reach it — and your encouragement is the best gift I could ever receive. 💙

Support Tahaddi Lebanon
Support Tahaddi Lebanon
Support Tahaddi – Build a Future of Dignity and Hope Tahaddi (which means “challenge” in Arabic) is a Lebanese non-governmental organization that provides holistic support to families living in extreme poverty. Through a wide range of integrated services including education, healthcare, livelihood, and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), Tahaddi works to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty and social exclusion. Where we work Tahaddi operates primarily in Hay el Gharbeh, an underserved informal settlement in southern Beirut. Our programs prioritize vulnerable Lebanese families, especially members of the Dom ethnic minority, as well as displaced populations, migrants, stateless individuals, and victims of conflict and discrimination regardless of nationality, religion, or background. Standing with the marginalized Beyond providing essential services, Tahaddi actively advocates for the rights and dignity of the communities it serves. We have a long-standing commitment to the Dom community, a marginalized Lebanese ethnic group with ancestral ties to the Roma of Europe. Many members of the Dom face severe barriers to education, healthcare, and employment and some lack formal legal documentation, further entrenching cycles of poverty and exclusion. Our centers All of Tahaddi’s services are offered free of charge through three core centers located at the heart of Hay el Gharbeh. Education Center: Over 550 children of diverse nationalities receive alternative education, tailored support, and access to extracurricular activities and field trips that foster creativity and joy. Health Center: Provides primary care services to more than 2,000 patients each year, including medical consultations, maternal care, chronic disease management, and nutritional support. Psychosocial Support (PSS) Center: Offers mental health care, emotional support, and social assistance to over 1,000 families, addressing trauma, family conflict, and vulnerability with compassion and professionalism. We also run a Sewing Program designed to empower local women and youth with marketable skills. This initiative has evolved into a thriving income-generating workshop where 20 participants work daily, contributing to household incomes and community resilience. Why your support matters With over 30 years of uninterrupted presence in Hay el Gharbeh, Tahaddi has built deep relationships of trust, respect, and solidarity with the local community. Our centers are safe, welcoming spaces where families find dignity, care, and hope. Your donation directly supports our core activities: • Keeping children in school • Offering critical medical services to the most vulnerable • Providing mental health support to families in distress • Empowering women and youth through skills training and livelihood programs Together, we can continue building a community of hope and support even in the face of adversity. How you can help Your contribution enables sustainable, long-term impact. Every donation helps us expand our reach and strengthen our commitment to dignity, equity, and empowerment.
