Giovanni Khoury hasn't added a story.
The August 4th explosion that rocked Beirut took many lives with it, but it impacted many more – 300,000 Beirut residents suddenly saw their homes turn into rubble. Many of them had already lost their savings due to the recent banking and economic collapse and the devaluation of the local currency.
We took to the street to help clean up, and came across several old people whose houses got severely damaged and are left out totally on their own. We decided to take action and help them rebuild their houses before the rain comes in.
Youssef has been in his house in Geitaoui for the past 60 years. He was living by himself in a shabby home with a makeshift roof and basic utilities. He lost almost everything during the economic collapse in October. The blast took what little he still had and left his home in ruins. Youssef needs new appliances and a roof to be able to continue living his life.
Rasmig, living with his wife in Karantina, saw the walls in his house collapse on everything they owned and cherished in life. With a limited income that barely covers rent, they have been left with little to hope for. Rasmig and his wife need their house repaired, and their life restored.
We are a team of three: a civil engineer (Rami Mousallem), a project manager (Giovanni Khoury), and an operations expert (Nisrine Halawi) working with a small team of volunteers. The funds will be used for construction materials, basic household items, and food.
Help us make a difference. We are raising limited amounts to help the likes of Youssef and Rasmig get back on their feet and live with the dignity and security they deserve.
Thank you in advance!!
