John,

10 years.

For most Syrians, the past 10 years have been the hardest of their lives.

That’s how long it’s been since crisis broke out, driving more than 13 million from their homes. Children who like Siba, a 10-year-old Syrian refugee in Lebanon, have never known the vibrant Syria their parents describe. Over the winter, Siba spends her childhood days removing water from her family’s makeshift shelter and dreaming of being a lawyer.

9 out of 10 Syrian refugees in Lebanon are living in extreme poverty.

But you can help. You can make a big difference in the life of a Syrian refugee like Siba. Your kind monthly gift today can provide safe shelter, protection from the cold and hope for a brighter future for a generation of Syrians.

I’ve spent time with Syrian refugees who have shared their stories of courage and survival. I’ve spoken with parents whose children have only known a life of uncertainty and listened to parents who have worked so hard to protect their children and provide for them.

These families are resilient and continue to endure incredible hardship. This past year has been especially difficult due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But because of your compassion, I know these families will now have a better chance to be safe and not only survive but thrive. I bet Siba will make a great lawyer one day.
Please give monthly today.
Thank you so much,
