So these pictures of a “Syrian man selling pens in Beirut, Lebanon” went viral over the past few days 

Activists on twitter and in Beirut decided to find the man and his daughter and wanted to help them.

Turns out that his name is Abdul, and he is a Palestinian refugee from the notorious Yarmouk camp in Syria. He is a single father with two children, Abdelillah (boy) 9 years old, and Reem (girl) 4 ½ years old. 

Activists set up an indiegogo fundraiser to help out Abdul and his two children and donations came pouring in. Over the past 8 hours, almost $34,000 has been raised to help them.
