Help Nada & Wisam Rebuild Their Lives After Beirut Bombing
My name is Mohamad. I'm writing this from Canada, thousands of kilometers away from the two people I love the most.
My mother Nada is almost 70 years old. She has lived most of her life in the same apartment in Beirut. Despite her age and her own health struggles, she has never once stopped caring for my brother Wisam, who is 42 years old and has had a mental disability since infancy. He has never been able to live independently. She is his entire world.
That home no longer exists.
The recent bombing in Beirut (Early March 2026) destroyed their apartment. The place where my mother raised us, where she and Wisam have lived nearly their whole lives — gone to pieces. I have video evidence of the destruction, which I will be posting here and you can download them from Google Drive if GoFundMe can't play them automatically. Sorry about the poor quality...
They have lost everything: their shelter, their furniture, their belongings, their sense of safety.
Lebanon was already on its knees before this started. Years of hyperinflation wiped out people's savings. The Lebanese pound collapsed. Basic goods cost more than most families earn in a month. My mother and brother were already living carefully, on very little I could help them with (Canada has its share of problems as well). There are no functioning banks to fall back on. There is no social safety net. There is no government rescue coming.
They now need to pay rent in US dollars — because that is the only currency landlords in Beirut will accept — in one of the most expensive cities in the Middle East, during one of the worst economic collapses in modern history.
My elderly mother, in poor health, is trying to take care of a 42-year-old man with a mental disability, with no home, no stability, and no resources. I am their only lifeline.
What Your Money Will Go To
Every dollar raised will be transferred directly to my mother in Beirut. This will at least give some stability amidst the hyperinflation and chaos— enough time to breathe and get back on their feet, for the situation to settle, and to figure out a longer-term plan.
A Note to Kind Donors
You don't have to give much. Every single donation matters and will be felt by two real people who have already been through more than anyone should have to endure.
Please also share this campaign — with your family, on social media, in your community. A share costs nothing and can change everything.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart — and from Nada and Wisam, who don't know yet just how many strangers are about to show them that the world still has kindness in it.
