Dear Supporter,
Your generosity continues to bring hope and healing to families across northern Syria. Today, we would like to share the story of baby Aref — a reminder of the life-saving impact your support makes possible every day.
At only six months old, Aref was admitted to Al-Ikhaa Hospital in critical condition. He was suffering from dangerously high bilirubin levels and severe complications that placed his life at immediate risk.
Upon his arrival, SEMA’s medical team acted quickly, transferring him to the intensive care unit and beginning urgent treatment without delay. Over the following days, doctors closely monitored his condition and provided the specialized care he needed, including a complete blood transfusion that proved essential to saving his life.
Slowly, Aref began to recover.
What started as a critical emergency turned into a story of survival, relief, and renewed hope for his family. Today, Aref’s improving health stands as a testament to the dedication of medical teams on the ground — and to the compassion of supporters like you who make this care possible.
Sadly, many children across northern Syria continue to face serious and life-threatening medical conditions while access to healthcare remains limited for displaced and vulnerable families. Your continued support allows hospitals and medical staff to remain ready to respond to these emergencies and provide children with the treatment they deserve.
Thank you for helping save lives and giving children like Aref the opportunity for a healthier future.
With sincere gratitude,
