Hi John,
Wednesday marked 13 brutal years of conflict in Syria.
Children there have lived through displacement after displacement. Now, the impacts of last month’s devastating earthquakes — and the ongoing war — have left 5.3 million Syrians homeless.
6-year-old Dina* and 12-year-old Ahmad* were asleep when the shocks hit Aleppo.
Their father, Lutfi*, broke his back as he shielded them from the collapsing ceiling. The family spent four hours trapped under the rubble — until their cries for help were finally heard.
Dina, Ahmad and Lutfi escaped with nothing but their lives.
Our nation’s support could help their family cope with — and conquer — the sudden loss, nightmares and financial instability.
John, after more than a decade of disaster, Syrian children and their families deserve more than survival.
But without help, children will continue to grow up in tents, wondering where they’ll get their next meal. They didn’t choose this fate — and they shouldn’t have to endure it.
Have a minute to send a message? Tell President Biden and Congress to scale up lifesaving efforts in Syria so families can recover and rebuild.
