🇱🇧 124 People Have Already Given $10,324 for Lebanon. Let’s Keep Going.
Families in Lebanon still need mattresses, medicine, food, and water right now. Our team is already on the ground.
In just a short time, 124 people have already helped us raise $10,324 for our Lebanon Emergency Appeal.
I’m deeply grateful for that.
Truly.
But Lebanon still needs us badly right now, and I need us to keep moving.
Please click here to give to our Lebanon Emergency Appeal right now.
This is not a small emergency. It is not a situation that is stabilizing on its own. Families in Lebanon are still being driven from their homes. Reporting says that more than 1.2 million people have been displaced, more than 1,450 people have been killed, including 126 children, and more than 4,400 people have been wounded. Many of these families had already fled once before, returned home, and are now being forced to run for their lives all over again.
That repeated trauma matters.
Imagine finally returning home after displacement, trying to rebuild something from the rubble, trying to steady your children, trying to reclaim even a little peace — and then being forced to flee all over again.
That is what countless families in Lebanon are living through right now.
Shelters are overwhelmed. Some families are sleeping in cars, streets, and public spaces because there is simply nowhere else to go. Hospitals are strained. Families are scrambling for the most basic things: a mattress to sleep on, medicine for the injured, food to eat, clean water to drink.
That is what this appeal is for.
Please click here and donate now.
Our team is already in Lebanon doing the work. This is not theoretical. This is not about building something months from now. This is about direct emergency relief right now through Human Concern International for families who need immediate help.
The money from this campaign is going directly to mattresses, medicine, food, and water.
As always, I want to be absolutely clear with you:
100% of your donation goes straight to the charity.
I do not receive any percentage or fee.
100% of your donation is tax deductible.
100% of your donation is Zakat eligible.
I work full-time for HCI and coordinate directly with our team. So when I ask you to support this project, I’m asking you based on direct knowledge of the work and the urgency.
And I want to put the giving levels in front of you again, because I think it helps people see how practical and immediate this is.
A gift of $250 sponsors 1 family and covers their immediate needs.
A gift of $500 sponsors 2 families.
A gift of $750 sponsors 3 families.
A gift of $1,250 sponsors 5 families.
A gift of $2,500 sponsors 10 families.
A gift of $3,750 sponsors 15 families.
That means a single act of generosity today can directly change what tonight looks like for a family in crisis.
Somebody reading this can cover one family.
Somebody can cover two.
Somebody can cover five.
Somebody can cover ten.
And if all a person can give is $100, that matters too. It all matters.
Please click here now and give whatever you can.
We’ve now crossed $10,324, which is beautiful. But our current goal is $30,000, and I really believe we can go much further if people move with urgency today.
That number is not just a number.
It is medicine.
It is food.
It is water.
It is dignity.
It is a mattress for a child who otherwise sleeps on the ground.
It is direct help for families who have already endured far too much.
And I want to say something else plainly: moments like this reveal what kind of community we really are.
Do we only grieve in public?
Do we only repost headlines?
Do we only speak in general terms about suffering?
Or do we actually move?
Because families in Lebanon do not need our analysis nearly as much as they need relief.
They need us to act.
So I am asking you directly: please do not scroll past this. Please do not assume somebody else will handle it. Please do not wait until later tonight or tomorrow morning.
Please click here right now and support our Lebanon Emergency Appeal.
And after you give, send the link to people you trust.
Send it to your family.
Send it to your friends.
Send it to people at your masjid.
Send it to anybody you know who still has a heart for Lebanon.

May God protect the people of Lebanon. May God heal the wounded, comfort the grieving, shelter the displaced, and move our hearts to give while there is still time.
Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun




Did you know that Lebanon has generations of Palestinians who were born there and still don’t have normal citizenship rights?
That alone should raise an obvious question: if Hezbollah is truly some great champion of the Palestinian struggle, why is it not fighting for the rights of Palestinians in Lebanon itself? Why is there constant talk of liberation, dignity, and resistance, but almost no demand that Palestinians born in Lebanon be treated as full members of society?
The standard excuse is “right of return.” But that argument collapses immediately. If preserving return requires denying citizenship for generations, then the same people should support denying citizenship to Palestinians born in the West too. They obviously don’t. Because they know that would be barbaric.
So the silence is revealing. Hezbollah’s posture is not really about consistent concern for Palestinian rights. If it were, Palestinians living in Lebanon would not be kept in hereditary limbo while everyone pretends this is solidarity.
