Emergency Relief for displaced families and children Lebanon
Donation protected
Hello friends,
As many of you know over the last 4 years Lebanon has become like a second home to me. The people there have touched my heart deeply and the recent bombings on Beirut have been heartbreaking and devastating to see. Together with my dear friends in Lebanon I start this campaign.
I come to you with a request for help and support for everyone in need who is currently facing incredibly harsh living conditions. Out of a population of 5,4 million people, 1,2 million have been displaced. Many of those are now sleeping and living on the streets. This includes little children, babies and people with severe medical conditions who don't have access to medicines. On top of that winter is coming and many don't even have blankets, mattresses, or tents to sleep under.
Our goal is to raise funds to help ease some of the suffering and provide essentials (medicines, sanitary products, blankets, food, water etc.) to those most in need. The funds collected will go directly to my trusted friends in Lebanon, who are daily on the streets of Beirut helping directly as much as they can. They will ensure that every contribution makes a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Please know that no contribution is too small. Every euro, dollar or pound counts and can make a difference in such a situation. I cannot even imagine what it must feel like to loose everything from one day to another and have your whole world uprooted. So our help can bring not just practical support but hope and a reason to keep going in such dark times.
Together we can make a meaningful impact.
