A while ago, a man reached out to me on social media and asked for help with the stray dogs in the Adma/Tabarja area of Lebanon.
He told me he was deaf and could not speak.
I hesitated. We live in a world where kindness gets exploited every day, so instead of sending money, I decided to send dog food.

What I learned about him changed everything.
He wasn’t just feeding them: He was rescuing tens of dogs and cats daily. Treating their wounds. Taking them to the vets. Finding them homes.
Animals abandoned and left to survive find their way to him, and he never says no. He takes them in. Every single one.

He does all of this alone.
He is not an NGO, has no team, no donors, no support. So, his instagram page is not "crisp".
He works a full-time job at a supermarket chain, in a country where having a disability greatly limits opportunities, and he gives every spare hour (and dollar) to these animals.
But the need is bigger than one person can carry so he’s fallen behind on vet bills, and can no longer keep up with feeding the animals he loves and cares for so dearly.

And here’s the part that moved me most: he did not want to launch a fundraiser. He didn’t want to “beg.” So I chose to do it for him. And, with your help, it's possible!

Where your donation goes:
Milestone 1: $600 feeds the strays for 3 months, Nov, Dec and Jan.

Milestone 2: $900 covers spaying, vaccines and adoption costs, so more dogs find forever home

Milestone 3:
500$ clears his outstanding vet bills, so the dogs in his care can keep getting treatment

My promise to you:
I will post receipts and photo updates here throughout the campaign. You’ll see exactly where every dollar goes.

Don't underestimate 1$
Every donation, whatever the size, tells him he’s not alone in the hours he gives, the nights he spends at the vet, the animals he refuses to turn away.
