Dear Friends,
We hope this letter finds you enjoying the best of health, happiness, and success.
Over the last several years, Lebanon has been suffering through economic hardships, government instability, and social unrest which has left many people having a hard time obtaining the most basic needs. Throughout these hard times, Caritas Lebanon has been at the forefront and worked diligently to provide those in need with critical assistance and support. Despite their best efforts, the demand for assistance continues to rise and Caritas Lebanon is struggling.
In order to raise awareness and continue their much-needed work, Caritas Lebanon has made the decision to hold a fundraising Telethon Event on Sunday, October 22, 2023 from 10 AM to 11 PM Lebanese Time on MTV Lebanon. While we understand that times are difficult for many, we would like to ask for your assistance in helping our brothers and sisters in desperate need. Every little bit counts and goes a long way.
