Displaced Syrian families are suffering and in a dire situation. Join us this Ramadan to feed the hungry, improve their health and ease their suffering.


Imagine if after a long day of fasting in Ramadan, you do not know if you will have food to break your fast on. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians in northwest Syria experience this every single day.

This Ramadan help us fight hunger, improve the health and well-being, and ease the suffering of those families. Innocent lives are depending on us. 

Your gift is zakat eligible – if you would like to designate your donation as zakat, please select the zakat eligible button when you make your gift. "The righteous are those who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of God, saying: 'We feed you for the sake of God Alone; we seek from you neither reward nor thanks.'" - The Holy Quran, 76:8-9. The Prophet (PBUH) said; “Whoever feeds a fasting person to break their fast will equally reap, without diminishing, the rewards of the fasting person.”

As the Syrian crisis marked its 10th year a few weeks ago, millions continue to suffer. Hundreds of thousands were killed or wounded, and millions were displaced, both to other countries, and internally. Syrian families living in displacement camps are in dire situations. Food prices are soaring due to inflation. Malnutrition is on the rise, especially among the most vulnerable, including children and women. Please help us this Ramadan, fight hunger, improve the health and well-being, and ease the suffering of those families. Innocent lives are depending on us. 

Nour's family is from Latakia, Syria. They are displaced and live in a displacement camp in northwest Syria. After noticing that Nour had no appetite, her mother took her to the nearby pediatric clinic, UOSSM’s Kharbat Al Joz Primary Health Care Center. After examination, the 24-month-old was referred to the nutrition clinic. She was diagnosed with moderate acute malnutrition. 

Nour was entered into the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) program. The team members stressed to the family the importance of continuing with this program, following up with the nutrition technician, and following the nutritional advice to help Nour reach a healthy weight. After only 1 1/2 months, Nour recovered from moderate acute malnutrition and reached a healthy weight. 

While at least one out of eight children in Syria are chronically malnourished, this ratio is worse in areas of displacement. For example, Aleppo has 1 out of 4 malnourished children and Idlib has 1 out of 5 malnourished children.

According to a Save the Children report in 2020, one in eight children are stunted, and one out of every three pregnant women are suffering from anemia and other micronutrient deficiencies, and at least 51,000 are acutely malnourished. Those numbers continue to rise.

Young children and pregnant women are among the most vulnerable to malnutrition. Last year, UOSSM USA took the initiative to distribute nutritious food baskets to thousands of families in need. The goal was to help alleviate their hunger, strengthen their immunity, improve their well-being, and help them ward off COVID-19.

We would like to continue with this initiative and other initiatives to be able to support those in need this Ramadan. 

Won’t you help? The need is so great. Please support our work and help us continue to reach the most vulnerable with our lifesaving and vital medical work. Your support of our mission and work is enabling us to continue to provide humanitarian emergency relief, medical aid, mental and health care services. Our work involves constantly responding to emergencies. Having our funds unrestricted allows us the flexibility to allocate funds to where they are most needed. Thank you for your support.

Your generous support is tax deductible and zakat eligible. You can choose to designate your donation as zakat by selecting the zakat option when you make your gift.

Will you support Syrian families again this winter?

Salam,


We hope this message reaches you and you are in the best of health. We wanted to take a moment and thank you for your support last year! You enabled us to reach Syrian families with our lifesaving medical care and humanitarian relief. You helped alleviate their suffering! We pray Allah rewards you!


But families are still struggling to survive and as the winter settles in precious lives are at stake. Won't you support them again this winter? There are millions still living in dire conditions with limited access to food, water, and medical care. 


Imagine for a moment if you were one of those families struggling to survive. Imagine not knowing how to keep your children warm...imagine not knowing if you will be able to feed them if they are hungry...imagine not knowing if you can find the medical care they need when they are sick.


Please help us continue to reach them with the medical and humanitarian services they desperately need. Precious lives are counting on your support! Please donate today and share with your family and friends! Together, we will continue to save lives and build hope.


Salam,

Your family at UOSSM USA

May Allah Bless You for Your Continued Support!

Salam Alaykum,


As we approach the last few days of Ramadan we wanted to thank you for your continued support. 

Thanks to your generosity, we have reached thousands of families with emergency humanitarian relief (nutritious food), medical and mental health care, protection and nutrition services. Listen to Imam Siraj Wahhaj speak on behalf of us!


On this blessed night won't you help Syrian needy, refugee and displaced families? Thousands continue to suffer in silence. Half of the population of displaced and refugee families are children, living in dire conditions.

As they fast in Ramadan and every other day, they remain food insecure, and don't know when and if they will have their next meal. 

Please help feed the hungry, improve their health and ease their suffering.​ With your support, we can reach at least 1000 needy, underserved, displaced, and refugee familiesin Syria and Jordan. Thanks to a few of our generous donors, your donation will be matched up to $17,000 during these last 10 days in Ramadan, doubling your gift!


YOU can help us continue to reach the most vulnerable with our lifesaving and vital humanitarian, emergency and medical services.


The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The best charity is that given in Ramadan.”
Any contribution to support these families and our work will make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Each dollar donated during Ramadan is multiplied!


Please know that YOUR support has helped us reach millions of needy, displaced, and refugee families with emergency, medical, and humanitarian relief, medical and mental health care, protection, and nutrition services

Together, we are saving lives and building hope!

Maximize YOUR Impact this Giving Tuesday!

Salam alaykum, 


We hope this email finds you in the best of health during these trying times. We are emailing you today because you care about Syrian displaced families. Because of your past support, we were able to continue to provide medical care and emergency humanitarian relief including winterization kits to help keep them warm. 


Today is Giving Tuesday, a global movement for doing good, a day in which people all around the world come together to support the less fortunate, strengthen communities and make change for the better. Will you join us today during this global movement of generosity to help us continue saving lives and building hope? Today, Launchgood will MATCH funds for donations up to $1000 for Giving Tuesday! Please help us reach this goal and maximize your donation! 



As winter settles in, it brings even harsher conditions for millions (and counting) of displaced Syrians and refugees in Jordan. These Syrian families, huddled up in their fragile, make-shift tents, must now begin battling the forces of Mother Nature in addition to that of the global pandemic. Sadly, COVID-19 cases in the camps have risen to a 55% positivity rate. As the hunger and exhaustion mounts, there is an overwhelming need to protect these Syrian families (75% of whom are women and children) from the ravages of the cold, wet winter.  


During this season of giving, let us NOT forget our brothers and sisters in humanity. With YOUR help, we can work together to provide Winter Kits and other services to protect these forgotten families from the bitter cold and prevent the threat of a COVID-19 outbreak in camps of displacement.


Please join us by donating now to do good and help others during their greatest moment of need. 


May Allah bless and reward you.


Salam,
