Sponsoring a much needed school
We are now planning to sponsor a school for up to 60 young children in a very poor village in Syria where there is no school. We are also distributing food packages to families in that village and hope to see this become an ongoing program. Stay tuned for updates and contact us if you are interested in helping sponsor these young children in school, or our food distribution efforts in that village.
Help for Doha
This is five year old Doha. She lives with her displaced family in a refugee camp in a neighboring country. She is not able to use her arm because she was badly burned and needs surgery. Thanks to your help, we have recently sent funds to her family to provide an initial surgery.
Adnan Update
Our team was able to find a local eye doctor and hospital to see Adnan and do several tests. We are awaiting word on the next steps for him.
Help for Adnan
Adnan is a 2 1/2 year old boy who is a neighbor of one our friend’s sister-in-law here in San Diego. They fled Syria to a neighboring country. He is about to lose his sight without eye surgery and local doctors told his parents that it is a very difficult cornea surgery and he would much more likely recover his sight if he went to Europe for the surgery.
Help for Amina
Amina is the mother of one of our Syrian friends who was resettled here. She is 73 years old and lives alone in one of Syria’s larger cities. She recently had heart surgery and has no one to care for her. She is in need of monthly support to help her to buy medicines and for most basic needs. We would like to be able to send her and other widows ongoing support.

We are getting reports from our Syrian friends here that people suffering from Coronavirus in Syria are staying away from hospitals because they are not able to provide any help or that there are no treatments available. We have heard of people going to the hospital for covid symptoms, getting shots, and then dropping dead a few hours later. We have friends whose brothers, sisters and fathers all have Coronavirus and are unable to work. Others are in need for medical care but have no money to pay the hospital for their treatments. They are requested funds for food and to buy medicines. Please consider helping us help as many families as possible by donating on the link on this page and letting us know that you care.
HOPE FOR VULNERABLE FAMILIES
A Trauma Informed Program of Caring and Connecting in Response to COVID-19
Our Vision
Working in partnership with our local Syrian friends who have been resettled as refugees here among us, to see the love of Christ expressed in word and deed to their family members who remain in Syria and unsettled in neighboring countries, suffering ongoing hardships from years of conflict in their homelands, and now a worldwide pandemic.
We have identified many families in need who are in Syria and some in Lebanon, severely impacted by the explosion in Beirut on August 4th. We have local partners there on the ground who are already helping whom we are supporting. Our focus today is on on emergency medical needs, food, and families suffering from hunger.
YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED TODAY to help us serve vulnerable families struggling today in Syria and Lebanon. (Donation info is on this page). Or contact us at info@bridgebuildersnetwork.org.
