Dear John,

They were playing outside of their home in Syria. Brother and sister. Elementary
school-aged children.

In an instant, the attacks started. Mortars landed nearby as they played.

The brother was mortally injured. He couldn't breathe. "It looked like a piece
of shrapnel ripped his chest open," a rescue worker told Amnesty teams on the
ground. He later died of his wounds.

The sister was also struck by shrapnel in the attack. Doctors were forced to
amputate part of her leg, below the knee.

They were playing outside of their home. There were no military bases or checkpoints anywhere nearby — only residential
homes, a bakery, and a restaurant.

Please help. You are one of Amnesty’s most valued supporters. I know you care so
much and your gift will be tripled today »

This story is why we do the work we do. We research. We advocate. We fight human
rights abuses worldwide. And we work around the clock to make change happen. We will not stop — and we will not forget them.

And this is why we need your urgent support, John.
Any amount you can spare today — no matter how big or small — will make a
massive impact in our advocacy for children, like this brother and sister from
Syria. [YOUR GIFT X3]

Your support will be put to work immediately — to keep our teams on the ground,
researching war crimes and demanding safety for Syrians trapped in the chaos of
this brutal war.

During this special season of hope and good will, a generous donor has agreed to
triple match all gifts. Please help advocate for the safety of all children and families. There is no
better time to make a difference.
