I am reaching out with an urgent appeal to support the people of Lebanon, who are currently facing a devastating crisis. Thousands of families have been displaced, and many are now living on the streets, with no shelter, food, or basic necessities.

I have decided to start a fundraiser, with all money collected going directly to activists on the ground who are helping these families in real time. These are trusted Lebanese volunteers and influencers who have stepped up to provide immediate relief by:

Relocating families from the streets into public schools for temporary shelter
Gathering and distributing food and cleaning supplies
Preparing healthy meals for displaced families
Providing basic essentials like mattresses and pillows
Supporting access to medicine and sanitary products for women and children
This is not an official NGO campaign—the funds will go directly to a secure bank account in Lebanon, ensuring immediate use for those in need. I understand many of us have donated to larger organizations like the UN in the past, but sadly, we’ve seen that aid through large NGOs often takes too long to reach those who need it most.

The donations raised will go directly to support over 50 public schools in Tripoli and Baalbek/Bekaa where around 90,000 displaced people—including children and the elderly—are seeking refuge. You can monitor the impact of your donations by following the real-time updates and stories shared by the volunteers on their Instagram accounts

This is a grassroots effort by people who are on the ground right now, responding to the crisis as it unfolds. Your donations will make a direct impact.

Time is of the essence—people are literally on the streets and need our help now. Any amount you can contribute will go a long way toward providing shelter, food, and basic necessities to those who have lost everything.

Thank you for your compassion and support during this critical time.
