 CLASHES AND UNREST
In the last seven months BETA struggled hard to become an organization to be proud of while working under very difficult circumstances. Thanks to your supposrt, our team efforts, and our executive director, we made it.
However, as we hope you are all aware of, due to the recent fighting throughout Lebanon we are stuck again. While barricades and fighting stopped many people from moving about in the streets, gun shots and grenades kept others locked inside their homes. Some of our team members were victims of this situation - one worker was stuck inside his apartment and desperately needed our help to get out. While two essential team members were stranded outside the country, another cofounder finally had to evacuate her apartment after gunfire pierced the windows. The country is in crisis, with flights being cancelled and borders being closed.
Though we all wish this would end immediately, we have no idea what the coming days will bring and we have no option now but to prepare for the worst. We might not be able to offer our animals 100% safety - as we are in danger ourselves - but we want to make sure that there are enough supplies. We need to stockpile food, medicine and basic supplies for all the animals in our care. Local fundraising has understandably dried up, but with your help we will get through this.
As always, donations can be made with credit cards on our website by clicking HERE
