UPDATES: To everyone who donated, THANK YOU so much, my Family and I are blessed, grateful and appreciative to everyone of you. with the amount raised till date we were able to rent 2 furnished apartments for us and another family who is in need and have no one to take care of and who lost their father during the war, so now the mom and her 4 children can live in a furnished apartment knowing that nothing can replace their father but we are trying our best to provide them with everything they need.
For us, we are taking care of our injuries, going to doctors appointments at St. Georges Orthodox Hospital (Al Roum), we lost our elderly single uncle due to his injuries, but we made our best to have him live a good life with us. Beside having our day to day needs, livelihood essentials and medical bills, the burial expenses were added. We just start having our live on track we have a long way, but we are really blessed.
Below is our campaign, and this will be our last time for extending this campaign, there are families that needs donations more than us, and we are now feeling guilty of receiving donations.

Dear friends, family, and compassionate souls,

Today, I come to you with a heavy heart. Our lives have been turned upside down due to the devastating war in Lebanon. Our home was damaged beyond repair, forcing us to flee immediately, leaving behind everything we owned. We sought refuge in Beirut, along with countless other displaced families. The attached pictures, taken by our neighbor who is a soldier in the Lebanese Army, show the destruction we left behind in our village in South Lebanon.

As we were moving from a school shelter in Ras el Nabeh - Beirut to what we hoped would be a safe new start in an apartment in Antelias - Mount Lebanon, tragedy struck again. A building near us was bombed, and we found ourselves caught in the aftermath. Injuries were inevitable. My mom sustained a back injury, my dad's left arm was hurt, and my brother, who was driving the car, suffered a head injury from shattered glass. I, too, was injured, hurting my knee while helping my parents out of harm’s way. Thankfully, my sister and her children were unharmed, but the chaos and fear we endured are beyond words. While pictures of our injuries are available, we cannot share them publicly as they contain graphic content, including blood and torn tissue. These images are a stark reminder of the pain we have endured and the urgent need for medical care.

The bombing forced us to change our route and seek immediate medical care at St. Georges Orthodox Hospital in Achrafieh. The injuries we suffered require ongoing medical attention, including routine check-ups, consultations, and care. This has added another heavy burden to our already overwhelming challenges.

In addition to finding a stable place to live (Hopefully), some of us are dealing with injuries that require long term medical attention. These challenges weigh heavily on us, but we continue to hold on to hope and faith.

We are a family of nine—my mom, dad, brother, elderly uncle, my sister, her husband, and their three young children. Together, we are trying to stay strong despite everything, but we have endured unimaginable hardships, but we hold on to hope, thanks to the compassion and generosity of people like you.. The amount we raised to secure our apartment gave us a roof over our heads, but we now need support to handle medical bills and maintain stability in this fragile time and other urgent needs.
The ceasefire has given us a glimmer of hope, but the road ahead remains uncertain. Our home has been reduced to rubble, and though the fighting has paused, the emotional and physical scars persist. We dream of returning to our roots, of rebuilding not just walls but the love and memories that made our house a home.

Despite our pain, we remain committed to helping others. Being together in this apartment allows us to extend a helping hand to other displaced families who share similar hardships.

Your support, no matter how big or small, will bring us the relief we desperately need. It will help us cover medical expenses and rebuild a sense of normalcy in our lives. More importantly, it will remind us that hope and compassion are alive, even in the darkest times.

From the depths of our hearts, we thank you for reading our story, sharing it, and offering any help you can. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us.

With all our love and gratitude,
Jean and Family 💕🙏
