Hey y’all… It’s my birthday at the end of this week, and while I know shit is fucked up, I’m hoping that some of you are able to help…
You’ve all seen and read about the explosion in Beirut, and there is a great need there. For my birthday, would you consider donating?
This morning I made donations to organizations on the ground in Lebanon: The Lebanese Red Cross, the Lebanese Food Bank, and @WCKitchen.
The Red Cross’s page is slow, and a bit painful to navigate, but it’s here: https://www.supportlrc.app/donate/
Lebanese Food Bank is here: https://donate.lebanesefoodbank.org/
And @WCKitchen, who do work in many dangerous locations, is here: https://wck.org/news/beirut/
No amount is too small, obviously. And if you can, spread the word. Additional organizations are listed here: https://lebanoncrisis.carrd.co/#donate
Anyway, thanks so much for your consideration and anything you can give. 
One thing to note: your card company may flag the donation because of where it is. Mine did. Confirm it’s you, and try again!
Amazed and humbled by how much this man and organization do. Please support them or other organizations (up thread). Thank you! https://twitter.com/chefjoseandres/status/1293058969242664963
One of the things I love about @WCKitchen is they don’t just parachute in. They contract with locals to help them help others. <3 https://twitter.com/WCKitchen/status/1293201740527996928
Mayrig is one of my favorite restaurants in Beirut. Look at this amazing chef and what she’s doing. <3 https://twitter.com/WCKitchen/status/1293248184043679750
The response to this thread has been overwhelming. Thanks to everyone who donated or spread the word!
