Hello! My name is Ameera Mazraany and I am a Lebanese-American living in Miami, Florida. I am running the Key Biscayne Half Marathon on April 12, 2026 to raise money for families displaced by the war in Lebanon.
Right now, many displaced families are struggling to access basic necessities while staying in schools or temporary shelters such as churches, mosques, or public spaces, often sharing a single classroom with 10–20 people who may not even be part of their family. Some are even sleeping in cars. A contact on the ground in Tyre shared that he walks around searching for mothers with babies sleeping in cars so they can be given milk and diapers.
While many organizations provide food and basic supplies, support for mothers and infants remains very limited. Something as simple as milk, diapers, or wipes has become difficult to access, and families are forced to make impossible choices every day. My goal is to support 50 mothers and their babies for one full month.
Each $60 donation provides one month of necessities for a mother and her baby. The monthly cost breakdown is:
- Milk: $40
- Diapers: $15
- Wipes: $5
Even one contribution can make a difference. $60 supports one mother and baby, $120 supports two families, and $300 supports five families.
All funds will go to my aunt, Samah, who is on the ground in Lebanon purchasing and delivering essential supplies directly to mothers with infants in need, ensuring that every dollar goes toward essentials that are immediately needed.
If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean a lot to me, my family, and the displaced families you are supporting.
Thank you for submitting your report. At fundahope we take your concerns very seriously. We will investigate in the content of your report and take the right action when our investigations are over.
