It’s been 14 years since conflict first broke out in Syria – and families are still fighting to survive. 7.5 million children need lifesaving humanitarian aid. Please, demand action from Congress. [[link removed]]

Hi John ,
My last message introduced 13-year-old Adnan*, a Syrian boy born into brutal violence.
Today, I tell Adnan’s story through his father’s eyes. Saeed* has watched his children’s lives completely unravel. As a mom, I can’t imagine a more unbearable pain.
Conflict forced his family to leave everything behind: irreplaceable keepsakes, legal documents, money. Once, they were even separated in an unfamiliar city.
“I walked for seven hours, desperate to find them,” Saaed remembers. “When I did, I felt like I could breathe again.”
John, I wish I could say the hardship ended there. But Saeed’s family lives in a displacement camp now, plagued by hunger, sleepless nights and aching memories of all they’ve lost.
“At home, life had meaning,” the father says sorrowfully. “Here, there is nothing.”
Adnan and his siblings have gone weeks without showering, days without food and months without comfort. Tell Congress: NO child should ever grow up this way. [[link removed]]
TAKE ACTION NOW [[link removed]]
In Syria, 650,000 children under 5 are chronically malnourished, and 100,000 are suffering from severe wasting – their fragile bodies dangerously underweight.
After so much violence and deprivation, a transition of power offers a glimmer of hope. But to rebuild their shattered lives, families like Saeed’s need support.
John, kids are facing toxic stress and safety risks, from child labor to forced marriage. Will you speak out while there’s still time to save them? [[link removed]]
Grateful for your tenacity,
