It was almost another tragedy.

When Gissur Simonarson, an activist from Oslo, Norway, posted a photo last week of a father selling pens on the streets of Beirut as he cradled his sleeping daughter, he struck a chord with more than 6,000 followers.

"It's a terribly emotional picture," Simonarson told CNN. "You see the look in his face and just the way he holds the pens out, as if those pens are everything he has in the world."

Within hours, requests poured in from around the world to help the merchant in the photo. But Simonarson did not know who the man was or who took the photograph.

After a two-day search and lots of help, Simonarson located Abdul. "Finally found him," the activist wrote on Twitter. "Been a lot of work, but it was worth it! Now lets help them!"

The single father of two was overwhelmed to learn he was the subject of an international search. His 4-year-old daughter, seen sleeping in the photograph, was excited. In 24 hours, nearly 3,000 people had raised more than $80,000. "When he (Abdul) heard the amount, he just broke down and started crying," Simonarson says, "He was so thankful and he kept saying thank you for all your generosity."

Abdul says he can finally send his two children to school with the money. The 35-year-old, who once worked at a chocolate factory before war broke out in his native Syria, also says he wants to help other refugees with the donated money.

He is one of 4 million registered refugees, many struggling to survive across Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon.
