The WORST humanitarian disaster of our time

Ever wonder what's inside a Syrian refugee's backpack? If you guessed nothing, or close to nothing, you're spot on. Watch the video below to learn more. 


An estimated 9 million Syrians have fearfully fled their homes since the outbreak of civil war in March 2011. The situation is grave and only worsening with time. Refugees make dangerous, often deadly, journeys to neighboring countries in hopes of a better life. 

According to the U.N., more than half of all Syrian refugees are under the age of 18. Older children are traumatized and forced to grow up too fast. Due to desperate circumstances, they are trying to find work to take care of their family's basic needs, including clothing.  



"I have nothing"...

 ...is the common story among Syrian refugees, many of whom are unable to bring ANY belongings with them during their treacherous journeys. Instead, they carry nothing but horror stories and possess only the clothes on their backs. Women and young girls are in great, great need of basic items like new clothes, shoes and scarves. Not having clean attire to wear exposes them much more to numerous diseases, which can easily spread to other refugees since everyone is living closely together.  



That's where YOU come in

Your donation will clothe Syrian refugees living in Jordan. With each outfit you donate, you not only shelter someone's body and help protect them from illness, you spread much needed hope. Refugees feel abandoned and uncared for by the world. Lets show them the other side of the story. We DO care. We ARE there for them. We WILL provide.


All clothes and shoes are BRAND NEW, high-quality and sent directly to refugees. 


We want refugees to feel dignified by what they wear, not degraded by worn out hand-me-downs.  That's why at Nu Look Salon & Boutique, we are only providing the best. Helping Hand, a 501 (c) relief and development organization, will transport and distribute all items including blouses, skirts, scarves and shoes.





Here's a video of former clothes being donated to refugees:  


We did it before, we CAN do it again!

This past Ramadan, because of incredibly generous donors like yourself, we raised over $14,000 to donate over 1,400+ brand new shoes to people in need around the world. This time, we can create an even bigger impact for an even greater cause!


Lets DO THIS!!!

Help your sisters in humanity out. Spread smiles by patching hope, one outfit at a time :) 

Share this campaign all over your social media accounts. Share with family and friends. Personally talk to them, send a text message, shoot an email, whatever it takes to make people not just "like" ClotheSyria but actually support it.  

Remember to use the hashtag #GoodWillPrevail & #ClotheSyria to help this cause get as much awareness as possible!  


ClotheSyria Supporters :D 

Check out these *INCREDIBLE* people, businesses and organizations supporting and spreading the word about ClotheSyria! The list is only GROWING. You certainly would not want to miss this train!


A BIG thank you and MUCH love from the family members of Nu Look Salon & Boutique!

Are there words...

...that could do justice the amazing impact you made? You went above and beyond. You have moved my heart. I am in utter gratitude.  

Every single time we set up a new goal, we surpassed it. The same applied to our final goal of $15,000. 

What did we raise in the end? $15,330. 

Hundreds and hundreds of brand new items will be donated to the people who need it most.

And it's all thanks to you. Each and every single one of you. You should feel so proud.

Alhamdulillah.

1 hour, 26 min left - THATS IT!

Salaam (Peace) Dearest Supporters, 

This is just a gentle reminder that the doors for ClotheSyria are coming to a close after one hardworking month. 

There's just 1 hour, 29 min left 

In these final minutes, please keep spreading the word far and wide. Try to get others to patch hope for Syrian refugees, one outfit at a time. You don't know what a huge difference your final efforts could make for the people who need it most. 

Once again, here's the link to give: launchgood.com/ClotheSyria 

Chris Blauvelt, Founder of LaunchGood, has given us a surprise challenge 

He has raised the goal to $15K. Believe it or not, we're only $340 away from making it for the final time. Friends, lets make it!!


With the utmost gratitude,

The FINAL CALL

Salaam (Peace) Dearest Supporters and Happy Friday!

Many people talk about doing good, but few actually do it. Thank you tremendously for being the special few who take action. You extended your efforts beyond keyboard activism and actually provided for Syrian refugees.

People like you are the ones who make a difference in this world. 

This is the FINAL CALL – ONLY 21 Hours left!

I did some math again. If everyone here gets a friend or family member to donate just 33 CENTS we will reach our FINAL $14,000 goal!! We’re so, so, so, very close to the finish line! Lets not let something as measly as 33 cents get in the way of victory!

With less than a day left, your support is extremely critical at this time. For one final day, on this blessed Friday, push yourself to spread the word. Try to gain at least one ClotheSyria supporter. Here's the link: launchgood.com/ClotheSyria

Lets achieve something big together.

Diamonds together make...

…a crown

Salaam (Peace) dear supporters!

All of you here are diamonds. ClotheSyria started off with a goal of just $2,000. Now, we’ve exploded to $7,470 and are getting closer and closer to our goal of $8,000. Our crown is almost formed and it’s all thanks to each and every single one of you diamonds. Your generosity helped make this happen.

Together, I know we can reach $8,000

We are already 94% there. Hundreds and hundreds of refugees will be helped because of your support and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t keep the momentum going! Lets fill that teeny 6% gap by encouraging family and friends to give to ClotheSyria.

Spread this cause far and wide

Post ClotheSyria on your social media and talk about it to family and friends. Also, before the weekend is over, get at least one other person to not just“like” to “share” ClotheSyria, but to actually support. Here's the link: launchgood.com/ClotheSyria

Lets keep patching hope, one outfit a time. Lets #ClotheSyria!!

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for being a beautiful soul who believes in helping humanity.

Entering Round 3: Pick up your gloves

Salaam (Peace) and Happy Friday! Here’s a quick update :)

111 % Funded!!!

ClotheSyria launched just a little over a week ago and we are already 111% funded for the SECOND TIME. WOW. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kindness. It is because of people like you - people hailing from all around the world, practicing all different faiths that supported this cause - that this was allowed to happen.You believe and understand your duty in helping humanity and that’s beautiful.

What have you provided?

It’s way more than clothes. You’re patching hope for refugees, the greatest thing that they need restored, one outfit at a time. You are showing those in extreme need of compassion that you DO care and WILL provide. You didn't just "like"or "share" ClotheSyria on your social media pages. You took ACTION.The two are not equal.

Round 3 is next

Pick up your gloves. Just because we are 111% funded does not mean ClotheSyria is finished! I will be increasing the goal to $4,000 and increasing the work on my end. What can you do to continue helping? Please keep spreading the word and get at least one additional family or friend to donate. If we all do this, we’ll be 111% for the THIRD time. I KNOW we can do it!! Lets help refugees, lets #ClotheSyria!

You know what makes you different?

Salaam (Peace) ClotheSyria Supporters!

I'll tell you what makes you different. You're a leader. While others wait around wondering if they should help, you take action and you do it. You make a difference. You let your heart AND your hands do work. 

The world needs more people like you. 

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for donating new clothes to Syrian refugees. You helped patch hope to the people who need it most. That's a big thing. 

At $781, we are at 40% of our goal. Lets reach 50%!

SHARE. SHARE. SHARE! Share ClotheSyria with all your family and friends. Post all over your social media. Get the word OUT! 

This campaign will only be as successful as the amount of people that support it. Here's your homework: Get at least 1 other person to donate to launchgood.com/clothesyria. Even if it's just $1. If we all do this together, we'll reach our goal in no time. 

We will keep in touch!
