The situation has led to significant violence and instability, with clashes occurring between various armed groups and the Israeli military, particularly in southern Lebanon.

Investing in Resilience
Hello, my name is Arsho Tenbelian. For over a year, we’ve endured the looming threat of conflict on Lebanon’s southern border. But in the last 35 days, we’ve found ourselves in a full-scale war where no one is safe, and there are no secure zones. Between surviving each day and striving for a dignified life, I am struggling—but I refuse to give up on my dreams and my life just because I’m caught in a war I didn’t sign up for. The Goal: I am pursuing a master’s degree in Public Policy and International Affairs, which has always been a pathway for me to contribute meaningfully to communities in Lebanon and beyond. Education is more than an achievement; it’s my foundation for independence, resilience, and positive impact. However, with Lebanon’s ongoing turmoil, the stability needed to complete my studies and maintain my autonomy has become increasingly difficult. Why Your Support Matters: Your support in this campaign will help me achieve the following: 1. Education Continuity: Completing my master’s program is not just a career goal; it’s my way of keeping hope alive and preparing to contribute to humanitarian and policy efforts, especially in times of crisis. 2. Maintaining Autonomy: Independence is central to my values. Your support would help me remain self-sufficient during these trying times. 3. A Dignified Life Amidst Conflict: Between the chaos and insecurity, living with dignity is a daily challenge. This campaign will allow me to secure my essential needs, focus on my education, and live in resilience. My Current Reality: As war engulfs us, each day is a difficult balance between simply surviving and holding on to a future that still feels possible. I know I am not alone in this struggle, and I am grateful for any support that helps me keep moving forward—both to survive today and to achieve the life I envision for tomorrow. Thank you for reading my story. Your help, whether through donations or sharing this campaign, means everything in my journey to resilience and empowerment.

Help Ahed get out of Gaza

Help Ahed get out of Gaza
Story ahed : Ahed talal lives in the Gaza Strip with his family of 7 brather and married with two children . Sadly, and as the eldest son, he is the primary breadwinner for his family. The family does not currently have any source of income, as finding employment is difficult at this time. ahed's mother, siblings, and their children currently live at a school, because their house was bombed. They have been displaced several times. They were forced to evacuate from the school at one point because there were threats that the school would be bombed. They traveled to Rafah and lived in a camp for the displaced for a period, but when the Rafah invasion became a huge concern, the decision was made to return to the school. As you may have heard, there is no place safe in Gaza. Two months ago, the Israeli army threatened the school where my family and I were displaced, so we had to evacuate and leave. We built a tent in the camp for displaced people in Rafah, and now we live in a tent in the rain and cold air. We are displaced with every threat and we fear the worst will happen soon. My experience in this war was very painful. We have been stripped of all forms of humanity and life. Instead of seeing fireworks lighting up our skies, we see phosphorus bombs and drones. We sleep with fear and constant bombing around us. There was not a single night of peace, since the beginning of this war. Instead of seeing little children smiling, I see children shedding tears and pain. Everyone in Gaza is hurting, old and young. Children here cry instead of laughing. Happiness has been erased from Gaza. Families have been torn apart. Everyone around me is dying and even my help is not enough. We are targeted anywhere and everywhere. My family's safety is not guaranteed. All supplies are dwindling. Gaza is dying and everyone here is just a dead man walking. No one sees my pain. I must put a smile on for the world and for the children. I see. I have seen all the horrors this war has brought on our people. Palestinian mothers cry for their martyred sons, their widowed wives, and their orphaned children. Air strikes and bombing are approaching us. We in Gaza are accustomed to this life of pain. The only new thing now is the different artillery used against us.

Imagine Losing Your Home Twice: Join Me to Help!
Hello, You’re receiving this message because you know me and trust me personally, or because it was shared with you by someone you know and trust. I’m reaching out with a personal and urgent appeal. My name is Mahmoud. I was a refugee in Lebanon from 2012 until 2018, and I now live and work in New York. As a person with family and loved ones still enduring life as refugees in Lebanon, I’m witnessing the severe impact of the ongoing crisis on them who fled to Lebanon in 2012 to escape the war in Syria, are now facing displacement a second time due to the escalating conflict in Lebanon. These families have nowhere to go. Unable to return to Syria, they are struggling to find new shelter within Lebanon as demand and rents surge due to the crisis. Living without a stable income, which they previously earned from daily-wage jobs, they now lack the basic means to afford rent, food, and medical supplies. **Why Your Support Matters** Right now, I’m raising funds to support these resilient yet vulnerable families that I know personally, who have been forced from their homes not once, but twice. While I am helping my own family, but the need is too great to handle alone, which is why I’m reaching out to you **How will the raised money be used** Each $350 raised provides rent, food, and essential supplies for a family of five for one month in North Bekaa in Lebanon, giving them the security and basic necessities to live with dignity. I am committed to helping 10 to 15 families for a period of 1 to 3 months, depending on the funds raised, with the hope that the conflict will soon come to an end. Your support can make an immediate difference. Please feel free to share this message with anyone you trust who might want to help. Thank you for standing with these families in their time of need.
