A viral photo of a Syrian refugee father selling pens on the streets of Beirut changed his life overnight. The photo, which showed him carrying his sleeping daughter while trying to sell pens to passersby, sparked an outpouring of support and donations from around the world. In response to the overwhelming generosity, a crowdfunding campaign was launched to help the father, Abdul Halim al-Attar, start a new life for himself and his family. The campaign raised over $191,000, allowing Abdul to open his own bakery in Beirut and provide a stable income for his family. The heartwarming story serves as a reminder of the power of compassion and the impact that a simple act of kindness can have on someone’s life.
