Help Ivana Recover from Severe Burns and Support Her Family in Lebanon

My name is Laurin Strele. I am a photographer, and I have personally visited Ivana and her family in Lebanon twice.

I am organizing this fundraiser to support Ivana kassem skaiki, a young child who suffered severe burn injuries during an airstrike last year, and her family, who are now struggling to survive.

About Ivana

Ivana is a child who has endured unimaginable pain.

She suffered serious burns across her face and body, requiring ongoing medical care, treatment, and support. Her recovery is far from over.

The images I have seen — and the time I have spent with her — make it clear:

she urgently needs help to heal.

⸻

The Family’s Situation

Ivana’s family is living under extremely difficult conditions in Lebanon.

They are:

• Living in a small, modest room

• Facing severe financial hardship

• Struggling to afford food, milk, and medical care

The children are deeply affected — not only physically, but psychologically. Fear and uncertainty are part of their daily lives.

My Relationship to the Family

I have personally visited the family twice in Lebanon and remain in direct contact with them.

This is not a distant case — I have seen their situation with my own eyes.

They currently have no reliable support, which is why I decided to create this fundraiser.

⸻

How the Funds Will Be Used

The donations will go directly toward:

• Medical treatment and medication for Ivana

• Food and proper nutrition for the children

• Basic living expenses to ensure safety and stability

⸻

How the Money Will Reach Them

All funds will be transferred directly to the family through secure and reliable transfer methods.

I will personally stay in contact with them and ensure that the support reaches them safely.

⸻

Why This Matters

Ivana is a child who survived something devastating.

Now she needs a real chance to recover.

Without support, her healing — both physical and emotional — is at risk.

Please Help

Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference.

If you cannot donate, sharing this campaign can help save her future.
