Haneen and Farah were wounded amidst the Syrian crisis. UOSSM provided care for them restoring their hope and dignity. Their story is a drop in the ocean...


Haneen and Farah were 2 sisters that were wounded by airstrikes in October 2016, their mother thought they would never walk again.

UOSSM doctors helped these 2 girls and saved their lives. Please help UOSSM continue to do life saving work to help children and families throughout Syria. 

The same attack killed their father and wounded all three sisters. It is a miracle that all three survived...

Haneen (above) was only in 3rd grade at the time of the attack, which caused her to lose her right leg above the knee. 

Farah (above) was lucky, doctors were able to save her leg by performing reconstructive surgery.

UOSSM doctors from all over the world came to care for the sisters and operate on them, including Dr. David Nott, Dr. Raphael Pitti, Dr. Ziad Alissa, and Dr. Mounir Hakimi. 

After a little over a year, both sisters are walking on their own!

UOSSM doctors continue to monitor the health of the sisters as they still require follow up and care.

These young girls were the fortunate ones, they were able to get the care and tools they needed to survive and become strong, independent individuals. 

There are 1000's of untold stories just like this; 1000's of children lost limbs and can no longer play and be carefree... 1000's of fathers can no longer earn a living and provide for their families...1000's of mothers that can no longer care for their children. 

Last year, a World Health Organization report estimated the number of Syrians that had to get amputations from wounds was over 86,000. That number has clearly risen in the past year. 

UOSSM provides life-saving medical care and helps families find solutions and refer amputees to the appropriate centers to help them get the care they need.

    The people of Idlib need YOU!

    Salam, 

    We hope this email finds you in the best of health. 
    Syrians in Idlib are suffering immensely as over 948,000 have been newly displaced since December, over 500,000 are children. They have nowhere to go. Many are living out in the open with no shelter. Many medical facilities have been targeted while others are shut down to protect staff and patients.

    UOSSM is on the ground traveling to areas of displaced trying to respond to the unimaginable crisis. But the need is so great. The health of thousands is at stake. 

    Please join our campaign to help provide life-saving medical care and emergency aid to those who need it most. Your gift is zakat eligible and will help save lives.

    Only a few hours left...

    Salam, we hope this message finds you in the best of health. As many of you know the situation in Idlib, Syria has gotten worse. Since April 28, at least 892 civilians were killed and over 1912 were wounded, almost half of the victims are children. At least 50 medical facilities were targeted and attacked, leaving hundreds of thousands with no access to medical care. 

    Today is the last day to support  this campaign. Please give so we can continue to provide medical care to those who need it most!

    The image below shows newborn babies being evacuated after an attack on the Iman Maternity hospital they were just born in, they were still in incubators. 


    UOSSM has been working tirelessly to meet the needs of the newly displaced by operating more mobile clinics in areas of displacement and providing medical services to those who need it most. It is estimated that at least 750,000 were recently displaced, many with nowhere to go living under olive trees.  

     

    But we can't do it alone, let's make a difference together! These families need your support, they need life-saving medical care, mental health care, protection and nutrition services. 


    Show them you care, please donate TODAY. May you be rewarded greatly on this day and every day.

    Please help Syrians on this blessed day!

    Salam, we hope this message finds you in the best of health. As many of you know the situation in Idlib has gotten worse. In the past 3 months, at least 692 civilians were killed and over 1662 were wounded, many of the victims are children. 41 medical facilities have been bombed leaving hundreds of thousands with no access to medical care. 

    Please support us on this blessed day so we can continue to provide medical care to those who need it most!

    The image below went viral as big sister Reham, buried under the rubble tried to save her baby sister from falling. Unfortunately she died as the building collapsed. The children of Syria have had to endure so much. 

    UOSSM started operating more mobile clinics in response to the at least 500,000 newly displaced, providing vital medical services to those who need it most.

    Reminder: The people of Idlib still need you!

    Salam and peace to you and your families. We hope you are taking full advantage and enjoying the last few days of Ramadan. 

    Thank you to all who have supported our campaign: Act4Idlib. There is still time! The contest ends on Sunday at 1 a.m. Please support the people of Idlib if you haven't done so already. The situation is desperate but you can help make a difference. Your gift will help keep our mobile clinics on the ground in new areas of displacement, for the over 350,000 innocent civilians, and help provide our other medical services. 

    Unfortunately, the people of Idlib have spent a very difficult Ramadan fleeing from attacks, losing loved ones, getting wounded and becoming displaced. At least 320 have lost their lives to the indiscriminate attacks. Watch the video below to see the absolute terror the children experienced just this past week. It is painful to watch but is the reality they have been experiencing.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LWu6B3EcNE

    No child should ever have to feel such fear. They have spent Ramadan not knowing when or even if they will have their next meal, being afraid, sad and alone, as the whole world has turned a blind eye to the atrocities. But you can help and show the people that you care. What better time to care and give than these last few days of Ramadan? Please watch this video to the end to see a special message from Imam Zaid Shaker. 

    UOSSM responded the recent crisis by adding 5 mobile clinics, but the need is so great, at least 70 mobile clinics are needed to suffice for the large numbers in need of medical care. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Right now Launchgood has a contest for donations on Laylat Al Qadr that ends tonight at 1am! We could win up to $25,000! This would go a long way to helping the Syrian people. If you haven't done so already, please do give and share this campaign with all of your friends and family, every dollar matters and can make a difference.. Not only will you get the good deeds of these blessed nights but you will do a world of good. Your donation is zakat eligible and tax deductible. Together we can save lives and build hope.

    The people of Idlib need you on this special day!

    Salam and peace to you on these blessed days. We hope you are enjoying this beautiful month and feeling the peace and tranquility. 
    Unfortunately, that is not the case for the Syrian people in Idlib. They have spent Ramadan fleeing from attacks, losing loved ones, getting wounded and becoming displaced. At least 320 have lost their lives to the indiscriminate attacks...They have spent Ramadan not knowing when or even if they will have their next meal. They have spent Ramadan afraid, sad and alone, as the whole world has turned a blind eye to the atrocities. One UOSSM staff member lost 3 of his children and his mother just a few days ago. There is no end in sight. UOSSM has responded to the over 350,000 displaced by operating 5 more mobile clinics.But the need is so great, at least 70 mobile clinics are needed to suffice for the large numbers in need of medical care. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Right now Launchgood has a contest for donations on Laylat Al Qadr! We could win up to $25,000! This would go a long way to helping the Syrian people.

    Act4Idlib this Ramadan! The people of Syria need you

    Salam- Ramadan Kareem. Peace and blessings to you in this blessed month.

    As you read this message the people in Idlib are suffering immensely. They areunder attack...At least 160 have been killed and at least 600 were wounded. A large number of those casualties are women and children. As of today, 19 medical facilities were targeted and put out of service. According to our sources on the ground, the bombardment has forced over 350,000 to flee the violence. They have nowhere to turn so at least 20% of those displaced are living under the olive trees. They are deprived of food, water, basic sanitation and medical care. See video here.
    In response, UOSSM will be operating 5 more mobile clinics and will continue to reach those displaced people, providing medical and mental health care, protection and nutrition services. Please support our campaign and act 4 Idlib so YOU can help provide medical care to those who desperately need it. The people need your support. Please give and share this campaign with your family and friends. May your generosity and support rewards be multiplied and may you find the blessings in your families and loved ones.
