A Fresh Start for Our Family

After years of working hard as expats in Kuwait, our lives changed unexpectedly.

While I was pregnant, I lost my job. What should have been a joyful season preparing for our baby became a period of uncertainty and financial stress. Shortly after welcoming our child, we faced another major setback — my husband also lost his job.

Two incomes suddenly became none.

Returning to work immediately was not financially realistic. The cost of hiring a nanny and paying for daycare would have consumed most of my salary, leaving us in the same financial strain. At the same time, the economic situation and limited job opportunities have made securing stable employment extremely challenging.

Beyond the financial pressure, we have also experienced deep burnout. Years of corporate work away from home, constant pressure, and now unemployment while raising a baby have taken a toll on us mentally and emotionally.

We are choosing to turn this difficult chapter into a new beginning.

Our decision is to relocate back home to Lebanon, where we can rebuild with family support, reduce living costs, and create long-term stability for our child. However, relocating internationally with a baby while unemployed comes with significant expenses that we are currently unable to cover alone.

We are seeking support to help us cover:

1. Relocation Costs – $6,000–$7,000
• Flights
• Shipping
• Paperwork
• Transportation
• Basic home setup

2. Housing Stability (3–6 Months) – $6,000–$8,000
Rent + deposit + utilities

3. Living Expenses (Baby Included) – $3,000–$4,000

4. Emergency & Job Transition - $3,000.
We are not asking for comfort — we are asking for stability and a fair chance to restart.

If you feel moved to help, whether through a contribution or simply sharing our story, we are deeply grateful. Your support is not just financial — it is hope during a very uncertain time.

Thank you for believing in second chances and new beginnings.

With appreciation,
Lily & Omar
