"Aid agencies estimate that the Syrian conflict, has displaced
more than 2 million people." (U.N Refugee Agency.)
I am a 20 year old college student living in Wichita, KS.. As an
aspiring documentary filmmaker, I keep up with world news on a daily
basis. Since the Syrian crisis began, I have followed it closely and
attempted to inform people about what is happening whenever I get the
opportunity. One night I sent a message to a Facebook page that was
dedicated to the victims of Syria. It was a sincere message that
expressed my concerns and condolences to the people being affected. To
my surprise, the message was posted as the page's status the following
day. Thousands of people saw that post and 'friend requests' began
pouring in. Since then, I have been in contact with several amazing
individuals who share the same views as I do and also have friends and
families in Syria. One woman, is part of an organization called SAMS
(Syrian American Medical Society-
http://sams-usa.net/about-us-2/mission-statement/) Volunteer
Physicians and Healthcare Professionals from this organization fly to
these refugee camps and not only set up medical facilities, but also
use the raised money for blankets, clothes, flashlights, etc. Their
stories are inspirational and their service is effective. But they can
only do so much. Medical supplies and other much needed items are
severely scarce and the number of victims from the Syrian conflict
grow larger and larger every day.
They need your help.
Many of you would probably not have guessed this, but as a
college student, I don't have very much money. However, as a human
being I can't help but feel morally obligated to act when innocent
civilians are being slaughtered by their own government as the world
watches. As of now, I will do as much as I can to raise money for
needed medical supplies and other goods for the victims in refugee
camps bordering Syria. These people have lost their homes, friends,
and family. They need support. Please donate.
