$7.5 Million in Medical Supplies to be Sent to Lebanon, Campaign to Continue Fundraising

Over 500 supporters attended the Medical Relief Fundraiser—a joint effort by ACCESS, NAAMA and ANERA—Saturday, August 5, and raised nearly $100,000 to ship 13 containers of medical and pharmaceutical supplies to Lebanon. The net worth of these shipments is approximately $7.5 million. The American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA) reported that the first shipment of medical supplies is on its way to Lebanon via KLM. On behalf of NAAMA, ANERA and ACCESS we thank the contributors who made this shipment possible.

EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT FROM MICHIGAN OR CANNOT ATTEND, CONSIDER WRITING & SENDING A CHECK

Dear Friends,

This past weekend has seen great loss of life in Lebanon. As the crisis wears on, medical supplies are in higher demand and lower supply. Many of the displaced in Lebanon are elderly and children—two of the most vulnerable groups. ACCESS, American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA), and the National Arab American Medical Association (NAAMA) are holding a fundraiser to provide medical relief to the displaced people in need in Lebanon. We have already secured 7 containers ready for shipment, and we are looking to ship more. Each container will cost $7,500.00 to ship. We are asking for your help.

The event will take place on Saturday, August 5 at 7:00 pm at Bint Jebail Cultural Center in Dearborn. Tickets prices are $100, $300, or $500. If you cannot attend your contribution would be appreciated.

Tickets are available At ACCESS or you can contact Dinah Ayna at 313-216-2232. Please make your check payable to NAAMA-MI/Middle East Relief. NAAMA is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization. Please send the check to:
