Fund my education
Greetings! I'm an ambitious Lebanese International Student pursuing Aerospace Engineering at Concordia University in Canada. Despite my determination, the dire financial crisis in Lebanon has cast a shadow over my dreams. To keep my education afloat, I've taken on two part-time jobs and a full-time internship. I initially arrived with the confidence of ample financial support, but circumstances have left me teetering on the edge of academic disqualification and potential deportation due to visa non-compliance. Your support can be a lifeline that keeps me in school and in the country. I have completed 74.75 credits so far and still have 69.25 credits to complete my 144-credit program and complete a third and last work term as part of my co-op program. As an international student, I am required to study full time (12 credits/semester minimum) which makes the cost of each semester up to 15000 Canadian Dollars. Being a Co-op student, I am required to study full-time at all times (including the summer semester), making my yearly tuition equivalent to 45000 Canadian Dollars for the academic year 2022-2023. I have covered 6000 CAD so far, however, my family is struggling to provide the rest. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me closer to completing my unique program and earning a degree that's unavailable back home. My academic record stands as a testament to my dedication (current GPA of 3.0), and I'm committed to achieving my goals. Unfortunately, the university's assistance is limited, and I lack familial support here. If you're in a position to contribute, I'm immensely grateful. If not, simply sharing this link could lead it to someone who can make a difference. Thank you sincerely for your consideration and support!

Medical School Tuition

Medical School Tuition
Dear Supporters, My name is Vanessa Akiki, and I am writing to you with a heart full of hope and determination. I have recently been accepted into the medical school of the University of Balamand, a dream that I have pursued tirelessly and with unwavering passion. However, I find myself facing an unexpected and challenging obstacle that threatens to shatter my dreams. Originally, I believed the tuition for medical school would be $9,000, which, though a significant amount, seemed attainable with careful financial planning. But, just as I was rejoicing over my acceptance, the school suddenly raised the tuition to $18,000 without including dorm fees. This staggering increase has left me in a difficult and desperate situation. You can check tuitions online for the year 2023-2024. The amount I put is the total for the upcoming 4 years of medical school but sadly I know they will increase their tuition year after year and the $18,000 might seem cheap compared to what’s waiting. As a student from Lebanon, my country is facing unprecedented challenges and economic hardships, making it nearly impossible for me to bear this financial burden alone. The deteriorating situation in Lebanon has put immense strain on my family's finances, and I fear that I may have to let go of my lifelong aspiration of becoming a doctor due to financial constraints. Nonetheless, I refuse to give up. I have come too far to let money stand in the way of my dreams. I strongly believe that education is the key to creating a better future for myself and my community. Becoming a doctor will not only fulfill my personal goals but also allow me to contribute to society, providing medical care to those in need, and making a meaningful difference in people's lives. This is why I am turning to you, kind-hearted individuals, in the hope that you can offer your support and help me raise the funds necessary to cover my medical school tuition. Every little bit counts, and I genuinely appreciate every donation, no matter how big or small. Your generous contributions will not only alleviate the financial strain on my family but also serve as a profound vote of confidence in my ability to make a positive impact in the world through medicine. Please consider donating to my campaign, and together, let us make my dream of becoming a doctor a reality. Your support will not only change my life but also have a lasting ripple effect on the lives of countless patients I will have the privilege to treat and care for in the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can provide. Your kindness and generosity will forever be cherished. Feel free to contact me for any desired details.

Help Us Fund the Care and Rescue of Abused Animals
Help Us Fund the Care and Rescue of Abused Animals
Alyarz Pet Club (APC) is a volunteer run, non-profit organization, duly registered as a charity on December 2021, that aims at helping as many animals in need as possible. Our center is more like a sanctuary than a traditional shelter facility. We provide personalized care for special needs cases, and our animal residents come in many different shapes and sizes. Our unique approach distinguishes us from other associations. We provide personalized care to each of our rescues, prioritizing their happiness and overall well-being as if they were living in a home environment. The economic situation in Lebanon has led to an increase in animal abandonment, leaving many domesticated animals to fend for themselves on the streets. This is where we come in, offering a safe and nurturing environment for these animals in need. A significant number of our animals require special attention due to their special needs, as many have been subjected to different forms of abuse and have suffered from severe illnesses that were at times life-threatening. We are committed to providing them with the care they need to recover and regain their health, and we do not give up on them, even if it takes a considerable amount of time and effort to achieve. APC currently houses hundreds of animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds and chickens. Our topmost priority is to offer them a fulfilling life, and we are proud to be a no-kill facility, meaning that our residents are cared for until they find their forever homes. But unfortunately, finding homes for them in Lebanon is not always easy, as they are often deemed “unadoptable", and the current financial crisis has only compounded the issue. Many people have become frustrated to the point where they take out their frustrations on stray animals on the streets. Additionally, finding homes for our animals abroad is always a challenging and complex process. Our monthly expenses typically range from USD 7,000 to USD 10,000, and with donations becoming increasingly scarce, we are in desperate need of assistance in order to continue providing our residents with the exceptional care they deserve.

I Can't Do This Alone Anymore. Help Me Help Them!
I Can't Do This Alone Anymore. Help Me Help Them!
Since 2016, I’ve been rescuing and caring for animals (all species) in need—completely on my own. Today, I have 15 dogs (half of them seniors), 5 cats, and 3 goats under my care. They don’t live in a shelter but in a house entirely for them because I believe they deserve a real home, wihtout the hardships of shelter life. My seniors will stay under my wing forever, safe and loved. The younger ones are still looking for homes. Beyond those in my care, I feed dozens of stray animals on the streets every day, making sure they don’t go hungry. Over the years, I’ve also found loving homes for 50+ dogs, giving them a second chance at life. Lebanon has faced unimaginable hardship—economic collapse, skyrocketing inflation, and, most recently, the war that shook our country last year. Through it all, I continued to care for these animals, funding everything on my own, with very little help. But I’ve hit rock bottom, especially after relocating twice in one year which led me to spending thousands of dollars to make the new locations as comfortable as possible for them. Food, medical bills, and daily care have become overwhelming, and I can no longer do this alone. I never wanted to ask for help, but I have no choice. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. It will help provide food, medical care, and a safe, loving space for these beautiful souls. In addition to supporting my rescues, I also want to help other rescuers and shelters with spaying/neutering their dogs—one of the most effective ways to reduce suffering. If you’d like, you can donate specifically toward spaying/neutering efforts to help even more animals, including the strays I come across. If you can’t donate, please share this campaign—spreading the word is just as valuable. I’ve done everything I can to protect them, but now I need your help to keep going. 🌱 “Until every cage is empty, every chain is broken, and every soul is free, we keep fighting for them.” 🌱 Compassion for all animal species... Donate, if you can...

Support Youths Career Orientation & Employability
Support Youths Career Orientation & Employability
Hello! My name is Sandra BouHanna. As a career coach, I am passionate about helping young people prepare for their future. That's why I'm raising funds to keep my “Digital Platform for Youths Career Orientation and Readiness” alive. This platform is dedicated to providing youths with free resources to help them choose the right major of studies based on their skills. It puts in their hands available resources for evaluation and assessment, also references to available options for education. The Journey is end-to-end and will support graduates as well in their insertion in the labor market through career readiness guides for employability, job opportunities and professional approach to apply, with a full access to professional coaches to consult. The donations will go towards maintaining the portal technically, feeding it with quality content, and promote it among youths to increase awareness and accessibility. Most importantly though, your donation will provide financial aid to students who struggle to pay for an individual coach, yet desperately need the consultancy. This portal is freely accessible to everyone around the world. However, initially we are taking steps in-person to raise awareness in public and private educational institutions in Lebanon such as schools, universities and technical institutes in the form of on-site intervention in conferences, so that even more young people can benefit from these amazing resources especially vulnerable and hosting communities enduring the current economic crisis in Lebanon depriving them from quality education to a certain extent! Inspired from more than 1,800 youth I personally coached from various nationalities, I know how valuable this content is to too many. Also, on a greater dimension, how motivating and positively influential this content is. Help us plan this seed of hope in the future generation. Your generous donation would make all of this possible. Thank you!
