Lebanon is living through another violent escalation. Tens of thousands of people have been forced from their homes. Occupational therapists are not outside this crisis. They are living it, displaced from their own homes while continuing to show up for their communities.

All funds raised go directly to occupational therapists as cash assistance for rent and basic living expenses, distributed by and for the people doing this work.

I told To Do-ish I wanted to make a low-cost meal plan and stick to my budget. Here’s how it broke the task down for me. One step at a time. Time built in for each step. A break whenever I needed it.

No setup. No questions. Just your energy level and what you want to do.

This is what gentle looks like.

This is the first thing .app asks.

Not “what do you need to get done today.” Not “you have 3 overdue tasks.”

Just: how’s your energy right now?

Everything else adjusts from there. The steps, the pacing, the breaks. No guilt about having a low day. Low days are part of the design.

You hold it together all day. You show up for people.

And sometimes you can’t do the dishes.

Not because you’re lazy. Because you’re exhausted in a way that’s hard to explain. Every app was built for the version of you that isn’t exhausted.

To Do-ish was built for the real you.

Dear Healthcare Workers,

It’s time to rally in support of our displaced colleagues in Lebanon.

Lebanon is once again living through a violent escalation of Israeli aggressions against its territories. In late 2025, over a quarter of the population was internally displaced during the last mass displacement campaign. Now, in March 2026, tens of thousands more people have been forced from their homes in South Lebanon, the Beqaa, and Beirut.

Occupational therapists (like so many healthcare workers) are not standing outside this crisis. They are living it. They are being displaced from their homes. They are searching for safe housing. They are trying to secure food, medicine, electricity, and basic stability for themselves and their families, while carrying the emotional labor of supporting others.

These are the same practitioners who, in every escalation, open their clinics, volunteer in shelters, adapt services for displaced children, elders, and people with disabilities, and hold communities together through trauma and loss. Today, they need collective support.

This fundraising campaign is being organized in collaboration with Lebanon-based occupational therapists who are themselves displaced. It is rooted in solidarity and in mutual aid. We refuse narratives that frame our communities as passive victims waiting to be rescued. Our colleagues are skilled, resilient, politically conscious healthcare workers navigating structural violence and colonial aggression. What they need right now is material support to stabilize their immediate conditions.

Funds raised will be distributed as direct cash assistance to occupational therapists most affected by displacement. The goal is to help cover one to two months of rent and basic living expenses, offering breathing space to secure shelter and regain footing during this forced upheaval. Cash assistance allows people to prioritize their own needs with dignity (whether housing, utilities, medication, transportation, or food…).

Please contribute and share with people who care: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=3E893W4NA2R28

In solidarity ✊🏾

I’ve been an occupational therapist for 14 years. Despite the work my clients and I put in, the moments in between sessions often go unsupported.

I’ve been working on building something that makes daily support and getting unstuck easier and more accessible .

Our pilot is days away and I can’t wait to share more soon!

Issam Hijazi, founder of is an excellent example of leading with integrity and purpose paying off! While our newsfeeds are full of people being punished for doing what is right, the tides are turning as we exercise our consumer power.

Issam spoke humbly and honestly at the sold-out 🙌🏾 Summit last weekend, and just days later, Upscrolled went from 150,000 users to 2.5 million and is #1 in the App Store! Meanwhile, people are deleting TikTok en masse.

Only the few benefiting from the status quo will warn you that speaking up is bad for business and tell you to stay silent, professional, and “apolitical.” FYI, neutrality is a political choice in favor of the status quo. We the people (a.k.a. consumers) hard disagree, spend, and act accordingly.

If you won’t let your conscience guide you, your P&L sheet eventually will.

About Me

Early in my career, I learned to provide my patients with the highest level of care while working for top Bay Area hospitals, including Stanford Health Care, Sutter Health's Mills-Peninsula, and San Francisco VA Health Care System. As an occupational therapist, I treat both physical and mental health and address every area of a person's life.

In my experience as a clinical educator, while running an independent occupational therapy mental health clinic, and working in hospitals, I found the greatest gaps in care were in mental health and wellness. My focus is on helping individuals and professionals meet their personal goals to improve daily life and work performance.

My strategy is simple, celebrate all successes. Goals must be realistic and achievable to be met. Together we will meet your milestones step-by-step and build on your growth. All sessions are personalized, whether group or individual.
