Support Iman's Journey to Safety

Donation protected

My name is Moe, and I’m reaching out for your help to support the most important person in my life—my mother, Iman.

My mother is a superhero. She raised me on her own while we lived with my grandparents, dedicating her life to supporting our family. Despite financial struggles, she always found a way to make things work. However, like many middle-class families in Lebanon, our situation worsened drastically due to the ongoing economic collapse.

At 63 years old, my mother still works as a saleswoman in a shop in Beirut. Her salary covers the basics. Three years ago, I left Lebanon on a scholarship to Germany, and while I’m starting to build my career here, I am not yet able to fully support both myself and her.

Given the current war in Lebanon, my mother faces rising risks as she navigates daily life in Beirut on her own. Access to basic necessities like food, electricity, and healthcare has become unreliable, and the situation continues to worsen. It has become urgent for her to leave the country before the challenges escalate further.
I am raising funds to help my mother leave Beirut and relocate temporarily to Cairo, Egypt. This will give her a safer place to stay while I work on bringing her to Germany with me through the legal process.

What We Need:

I’m asking for your help to raise $6,500 to cover:

  • Flight from Beirut to Cairo: Approximately $800
  • Rent for 3 months in Cairo: $600 per month (totaling around $1,800)
  • Basic living expenses: $500 per month for essentials like food, utilities, and transportation (totaling $1,500)
  • Health and emergency expenses: $1000 to cover medical needs and any unforeseen costs
  • Legal and administrative fees: $1,400 to begin the visa process and navigate any required documentation for her eventual move to Germany

This will allow my mother to stay in Cairo safely for a few months while we figure out a way for her to join me in Germany. Your support will go directly toward keeping her secure, healthy, and away from the dangers of Beirut’s current instability.
