Sending in-kind aid from Lebanon to Aleppo for families affected by the earthquake.
Today it's the 11th of February, five days after the earthquakes which hit Turkey and Syria. We've felt the effect of these quakes in Lebanon, not only physically but also emotionally.
So, being who we are and having access to the resources we do, we've decided to help.
We are connected to a charity who are sending aid to support families who are now homeless. Many had already been internally displaced due to the ongoing war in Syria. All need our support and we cannot just stand by.
Currently, they are making an assessment to tell us what's most needed. We already understand it's food, shelter and bedding/clothes but we need quantities and specifics to plan shipments from Lebanon to Syria. We have a stock of some clothes already but need funds for the following:
purchase dry food in bulk
purchase blankets in bulk
purchase children's clothes in bulk
send three trucks of aid from Bar Elias, Bekaa Valley, to Aleppo, Syria.
We don't know how much it will cost but with an initial goal of $4,000 USD (3,300 GBP) we should cover most of it.
***DISCLAIMER***
We are not keeping any funds for The Free Shop. All funds raised will be spent on supporting people in Syria who need food, warmth and clothing.
Please donate if you can, or share with one or two friends if you cannot :) Sharing is also an amazing way to help us generate support and share information!
