[Syrian families "have been through hell." ▸] [ Mercy Corps ] Dear MoJo Reader, If you had the chance to wrap a warm blanket around a young family who’s just fled the horrible situation in Aleppo — and give them a safe place to rest, and healthy food to eat — would you? That’s what Mercy Corps team members are doing right now in northern Syria. Mercy Corps teams are able to reach out to vulnerable Syrians and other families in need around the world because of your compassion. [Please give today to send more emergency food, water and other lifesaving relief to families far and wide]. What we are seeing on the ground is heart-wrenching — children and families are suffering through cold temperatures and biting wind, and traveling with almost nothing as they leave Aleppo. And the situation is unpredictable — one day they may be able to flee, but the next could bring more violence. They are never certain if they are truly safe. The situation is horrifying, but it is not hopeless. Mercy Corps has roughly 100 team members helping families who’ve fled Aleppo, and 1,000 more who are dedicated to supporting people affected by the Syria crisis across the region. You can make a difference for families inside Syria and others facing crisis around the world. [Please give today to help rush emergency relief to people in Syria and other vulnerable families who need our help]. As people are able to evacuate Aleppo, our teams are meeting them in northern Syria with food, blankets and other emergency supplies. "The people we are welcoming have been through hell — the level of trauma they have experienced is impossible to describe or comprehend," says Casey Harrity, Mercy Corps’ Director of Programs in Syria. "We are working very hard to ensure they are received with as much dignity and support as possible." [You can help today. Give now to help deliver more lifesaving aid to families in Syria and others in places of crisis]. [Give today] Thank you. The kindness of caring people like you is a reminder that there is always light, even in the darkest of situations.
