Dear friends,

I can’t begin to express how deeply grateful I am for each of you. Your kindness and generosity have helped bring my brother and his family safely here from Lebanon, something I couldn’t have imagined doing alone. Your support has brought light and hope to our family during a time when it was needed most.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the incredible friends you are. Your compassion and willingness to help have made such a profound difference in our lives, and I will be forever thankful for each of you🙏❤

With all my love and appreciation, To all of you dear friends ❤ 🤍❤

From Loraine, Alaa and family:

From my humble family, I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to all the friends who helped my aunt and her husband for our sake and to bring us to Canada. Without your efforts and financial donations, we would not have come, our situation would not have changed, my child would not have gone to school, and they would not have helped my little child receive the appropriate treatment. We promise to live up to your expectations.

All our love to you,

Lourain Alaa.

From Rabih and Kamar:

To the people of grace and generosity

With all feelings of appreciation and gratitude, I write to you these words, no matter how beautiful they are, they will not do you justice. You were a support and help to me at a time when I needed support, and you extended your generous hand to ease my burdens and restore hope to my life.

Your material and moral assistance is not just a passing support, but rather a message of love and humanity that touches hearts and leaves an indelible mark. You gave without expecting anything in return, and this is the greatest form of generosity and nobility.

I ask God Almighty to reward you with the best reward, to bless your lives and livelihoods, and to always make you among the people of goodness and giving.

I extend to you my sincere feelings of thanks and gratitude, and this assistance will remain a beautiful memory to be told to everyone who searches for hope in times of hardship.

May you always be a symbol of giving and humanity,

Rabih and Kamar ❤️
