🌎 A DAY TO CELEBRATE CULTURE, COMMUNITY & FREEDOM Every day gives us another opportunity to appreciate the things that connect humanity — family, culture, freedom, childhood, community and hope. Today, different communities around the world are marking their own national and cultural occasions. Among them are Children's Day in Paraguay, National Airborne Day in the United States, and Restoration Day in the Dominican Republic. But beyond the celebrations, there is a bigger message:
"I am currently in Lebanon, struggling to survive amidst the ongoing war and destruction. The situation here is unbearable." I am reaching out to this global community because I have lost everything. Conflict has turned my life into a nightmare. I am now homeless, sleeping on the streets, and living in constant fear. As an LGBTQ+ individual, my struggle is doubled, and I face daily persecution with no safe place to go. I am sharing my reality in hopes of finding humanity and support. Every bit of interaction, or any direct help, could save my life.
