Strangers with Big Hearts!

In the heart of Cairo, among the chaos, color, and kindness, an unexpected story has been unfolding — one that highlights the best of humanity, and the failures of bureaucracy.

Christopher Lee Poirier, an American citizen, has been homeless in Egypt for nine months. He originally arrived in the country in either 2020 or 2022, struggling with mental health challenges. When his bank card stopped working, his financial safety net disappeared overnight. A compassionate landlord supported him for several months, covering rent and trying to help him stay afloat. But eventually, that lifeline ran out.

Since then, Christopher has been living on the streets of Egypt — a foreign land, far from family, far from home.

What makes this story remarkable is not just the heartbreak, but the hope.

Egyptians to the rescue

In the absence of help from his own government, it’s been ordinary Egyptians who have stepped in — strangers who saw a fellow human in need and simply acted. They’ve offered him food, clean clothes, safe places to sleep, and most importantly, a sense of dignity. Whether in Cairo’s busy neighborhoods or in quieter corners of the city, people have responded not with judgment, but with open hearts.

His family, desperate for answers, has reached out countless times to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, hoping for action, or at the very least, acknowledgment. But so far, there’s been nothing. No return calls. No follow-up. No plan.

In any other situation, this might be considered a diplomatic oversight. But when someone is vulnerable, without shelter, and struggling with mental health — this silence feels devastating.

The question now is simple:

Why has an American citizen been left invisible by the very country meant to protect him?
And equally: How is it that strangers in a foreign country have done more than his own government?

This is not a political story. It’s a human one.
And it reminds us all that compassion knows no borders.

Christopher deserves to be seen.
He deserves to be helped.
And until the right people listen — we’ll keep sharing his story.
