Lebanese Americans open their wallets and hearts as war rages back home
Lebanese Americans, like catering business owner Mirvet Makki, are sending money and aid to Lebanon amid the war between Israel and Hezbollah, which has displaced over 1 million people and killed more than 3,500. The diaspora, estimated at 625,000 to 1.4 million in the U.S., remains deeply connected to Lebanon through financial support and community efforts.
