Provide Urgent Aid to Families Impacted by War in Lebanon

Dear Friends,

Imagine fleeing your home in terror, with nothing but the clothes on your back. Imagine being a child, hearing explosions and wondering if you’ll ever feel safe again.

This is the heartbreaking reality for thousands of families sheltering in schools after the bombings in Lebanon. They’ve lost their homes, their security, and their peace. As the conflict in Lebanon rages on, thousands of Lebanese families are being forced to flee their homes, leaving behind their belongings, livelihoods, and sense of security. These displaced families urgently need our help to survive and rebuild their lives.

At Borderless, we are dedicated to supporting those in need, particularly during this time of crisis. We are launching a holistic emergency relief initiative aimed at helping displaced Lebanese families by addressing their immediate needs and providing long-term support for their children. Our approach focuses on three critical areas:

1. Distribution of Basic Assistance Kits & Food Boxes:

Families forced to leave their homes often do so with little to no belongings. We will provide them with essential supplies, including food, hygiene products, and basic survival items. Each kit is designed to help a family for at least a month, providing them with the dignity and security they need in this difficult time.

2. Psycho-Social Support (PSS) for Children and Caregivers:

The trauma of displacement and living through conflict can have devastating effects, especially on children. Through trained professionals, we will offer PSS sessions to help children and caregivers cope with the emotional and psychological challenges they are facing. These sessions are crucial for their mental well-being and long-term recovery.

3. Education for Displaced Children:

With schools disrupted and many families struggling to provide a stable learning environment, we are stepping in to ensure that children’s education continues. By providing access to safe learning spaces, school supplies, and educational programs, we aim to give these children the tools to build a better future, despite the difficult circumstances.

How Your Donations Will Help:

$10 can provide a warm meal to a family.

$50 can provide a food box to a family for a week.

$100 can provide psycho-social support to a child and their family for a month.

$200 can sponsor a child’s educational needs for two months.

$500 can provide an entire basic assistance kit for a displaced family.

Our goal is to support as many families as possible. In the first phase, we aim to assist 200 displaced families, providing an average of $100 worth of aid per family, with a fundraising target of $20,000. Every additional dollar raised will allow us to extend our reach to even more families in need.

We Need Your Support

Your donations, no matter the size, can make a real difference in the lives of these families. With your help, we can provide food, mental health support, and education to those who need it the most. Every dollar will go directly towards supporting families in need and ensuring their children are not forgotten in the wake of this crisis.

Please stand with us in solidarity with displaced Lebanese families. Together, we can provide hope, comfort, and a brighter future for those affected by this devastating conflict.

Transparency Commitment: We are committed to providing updates on the fund allocation with all due transparency for all of those who donate.

What’s your specific plan for how the funds will be withdrawn from and sent to the beneficiary of the campaign?

As GoFundMe doesn’t not support Lebanon as a country (For your ease of reference, please check the supported countries on GoFundMe https://support.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001972748-Countries-supported-on-GoFundMe), the plan is to withdraw the final total amount to a personal bank account in the US and then transfer the total amount to the NGO’s registered bank account in Lebanon. All transactions will be documented, and an update will be sent to all donors. The NGO will publicly confirm / announce the receipt of money via their social media accounts.
