LEBNET NEWSLETTER Your Turn: A Moment to Show Up April 2026 |
|
|
Dear LebNet Family, You are at the heart of this community. This is our moment. Your Turn is a simple idea:
Support trusted organizations delivering urgent relief in Lebanon and help others do the same. We’ve already raised $1.3M toward our $10M goal. Now we need to finish what we started. 👉 Donate here: https://yourturnlebanon.com Start with $10.
That’s food, shelter, and real support for families in need. Then share this with 3 people and tell them: “Join me.” That’s how this scales. You’re not just part of LebNet. You’re a connector. A catalyst. Let’s make this the moment we look back on and say: we did this—together. With Gratitude, Jeanine Akiki, LebNet's Executive Director P.S. Skip one coffee. Feed a family. |
