على الرغم من التحديات، تجد رينيه وجارتها ليلى القوة في بعضهما البعض. تجدان العزاء في الدعم الذي تقدمه لهما نهلة من لجنة الإنقاذ الدولية في #لبنان.
تضيف رينيه قائلة: "نتشارك أنا وليلى في وجبات الطعام للادخار وتغطية نفقاتنا، ولا تزال نهلة على اتصال بنا منذ حدوث الانفجار."
تقول رينيه: "نشأت هنا في #بيروت، وعند وقوع #تفجير_مرفأ_بيروت، كنت متواجدة في متجري مع جارتي وزوجها. بالكاد نجا متجري. ما زلت أبيع من المجموعة القديمة التالفة لأنني لا أستطيع شراء مجموعة جديدة."
Despite the challenges, Renee and her neighbor, Leila, find strength in each other. They find consolation in the support of Nahla from @RESCUEorg in #Lebanon.
She adds, "We share meals, Leila and I, to save and make ends meet. Nahla is still in touch with us since the blast."
"I grew up here in #Beirut, and during the #BeirutBlast, I was at my shop with my neighbor and her husband. After the blast, my shop barely survived. I'm still selling from the old destroyed collection as I can't afford a new one," Renee reveals.
Ala’a is the third generation in her family to own a vegetable shop in Lebanon, but economic challenges made it difficult for business.
With support from The IRC and @Citi Foundation, Ala’a is running a successful business and is able to support her family.
