Food for Disaster Victims of Beirut, Lebanon
Tuesday 8/4/2020 – a day Beirut and the world will never forget.
A massive explosion took place on Tuesday August 4th 2020 in the heart of Lebanon leaving hundreds of casualties and thousands without homes, shelter, medicine and/or food. Hospitals were already overwhelmed by the COVID-19 pandemic that they are forced to turn away some victims who are seeking care, shelter and food.
Lebanon has seen dark times but nothing like what the people are enduring today. Job opportunities have vanished and unemployment is worsening by the second. Dealing with a political and economic crisis as well as a health crisis affecting the most vulnerable, they are now at risk of a HUNGER crisis.
Lebanon is in a state of Humanitarian crisis and needs your help right now!
We are 3 physician sisters, originally from Lebanon but raised in the United States. Our father is a pediatrician and his father was also a pediatrician -- so helping others has always been something deep-rooted in our souls.
Through the support of Jobs For Lebanon, a 501c3 nonprofit, we are being connected directly to local partners within Lebanon to help procure and distribute basic food needs. $25 is able to feed a family of 5 for 1 month! We personally guarantee that every dollar that you donate goes directly to feeding the victims and survivors of this unspeakable tragedy.
We are so grateful, beyond words, from the deepest bottom of our hearts for any contribution no matter how big or small. Your generosity means the world to us and to the people of Lebanon.
Love,
Nadine, Nayla & Shereene Idriss
