### Hello everyone, | ||
|
||
Today is one of those days where words fall short. The past few days have been incredibly difficult for us here in **Lebanon**, and it feels like things are only getting worse with each passing moment. Both the political and economic situation are spiraling out of control, and it’s impacting every single person here. Close friends, people I’ve known for years, have been injured, and some have even been forced to flee their homes. We’re now living in a reality where technology, something we all rely on daily, has become a source of fear. Can you imagine? Tech warfare? Exploding pagers and phones? It’s something straight out of a dystopian novel, but it's happening right here, right now. | ||
|
||
We are terrified to carry even the most basic tech devices, and it's surreal to say the least. | ||

In the video below, you’ll see just how grim the situation has become. Just yesterday, a town not far from where I live was hit. I didn’t just hear it, I *felt* it. The windows shook violently as multiple, deafening sonic booms erupted overhead. I don’t exaggerate when I say my heart sank. The sound alone brought back memories of the 1970s and 80s, when I lived through a different war, but the fear is just as real now as it was then. I’m still shaking as I write this. This kind of fear paralyzes you. You never know if the next blast will be the one that hits your home. | ||

|
||
For the first time in my life, I genuinely don’t know what to do. Should I flee? Should I stay? Do I hide and pray it doesn’t get worse? I’ve been praying for things to calm down for over a year now, ever since the violence in the south started, but each day feels heavier, as if we’re on the edge of something catastrophic. | ||
|
||
### Safety 1st | ||
|
||
With everything that’s happening, I need to prioritize my safety and that of my family. If the situation continues to deteriorate, I may be forced to stop everything I’m doing just to focus on survival. We’re actively searching for potential shelters, just in case things take an even darker turn. It’s heartbreaking, but these are the conversations we’re having right now—finding a safe place to hide from the chaos. | ||
|
||
I know many of you are eagerly waiting for updates on the **XeroLinux** project, and believe me, I haven’t forgotten about it. But I hope you understand that it’s nearly impossible to work under these conditions. My mind is constantly racing, wondering if we’ll be the next to face the violence, or if a full-scale war will erupt before we even have a chance to react. | ||
|
||
### How to help | ||
|
||
As most of you are aware, my financial situation has been precarious for quite some time. If I do have to flee the country, I’m going to need resources to make that happen. Right now, I have about $320 to my name. That’s not nearly enough to cover the costs of leaving Lebanon if things continue to worsen. | ||
|
||
If you want to help, please know that this is separate from any funds raised for the XeroLinux project. I’ve made sure to keep the project’s funds separate so they are used exclusively for its development and survival. The funds I need now are for a different, more personal cause—ensuring my safety and the safety of my family. | ||
|
||
If you’re able and willing to contribute, your help could make a real difference in what happens next. No amount is too small, and every bit helps in these uncertain times. | ||
|
||
To do so head on over to [**FundRazr**](https://fundrazr.com/XeroLinux?ref=ab_eBckkc). | ||
|
||
Thanks for all your help & support ! | ||
