Christmas for Lebanon
Rising Against All Odds.
I was never prepared in my whole life to deal with such overwhelming despair, misery and sadness. Ten years ago when "Gestures From The Heart" started, it was in the loving memory of Papa. Our main objective wa to take care of the abanonded seniors in Zgharta, Lebanon. Intially everything flowed beautifully. Year after year, things worsened instead of improving. Today, things are different, way differnt.
The Financial breakdown, followed by Covid-19 pandemic, the Beirut port explosion and finally the removal of subsidies, Lebanon has become a living HELL, literally. In these dark moments there is always hope. There is so much love, so much compassion and genuine sincere interaction with strangers who became the pillars for our families and elders.
The only thing that is keeping us moving, fighting, helping, believing and not giving up is the love and faith of our supporters. Yes, you, you the unselfish givers. You the kind hearted. You the sympathetic. You are the army of Gestures from the Heart that defends the poor from destruction. You are "Gestures From The Heart", each and every person that is helping anyway they can, is a true symbol of Gestures.
Gestures is not only an NGO, Gestures is US, a WAYOF LIFE. As Lebanon is facing an existential moment. The economic crisis is a human tragedy in the making as it is affecting more than 74% of the Lebanese population which means three quarters of the population is living in poverty as per official figures.
The food pack is becoming a security issue for our families and elders. Meat is becoming part of the past… Eggs, vegetables and bread are too expensive. Cooking on the stove require a whole budget. Shoes, Jean's pants, socks, underwear, winter clothes and blankets are unaffordable. Tissues, toilet paper, shampoo, pads and hygienic kits are without reach. Electricity and generator bills are a huge burden; gasoline is not for everyone anymore. Our lifestyle has changed and what we used to take for granted is becoming an extravagance.
This Christmas project is a lifesaving project as we are covering several levels of assistance not only for Christmas but every day all year long.
We are covering food items, hot meals for seniors, baby formula, adults and kids’ diapers, medications, house rentals, tuition, generator fees....
This Christmas more than ever we need to focus only on Miracles, on Faith and Love.
