Help Repair 100 Children’s Hearts

Dear Fellow Humanitarian,

This Thanksgiving week, SAMS is launching The Gratitude Mission, a coordinated humanitarian effort bringing specialized care and renewed hope to communities across Syria.

A team of 35 volunteer physicians, surgeons, dentists, and trainees will deploy across Damascus, Rural Damascus, Nabk, Al Mwasa, Aleppo, and Idlib to deliver life-saving treatments and support overstretched hospitals.

At the center of this mission is a milestone goal: repairing 100 children’s hearts through life-saving cardiac catheterization procedures. Each heartbeat restored represents resilience, courage, and a healthier future for Syria’s children.

Our primary focus is Rural Damascus, where shortages in specialists and equipment remain severe. By concentrating our efforts here, we’ll deliver advanced care, support local hospitals, and train physicians for long-term impact.

Your generosity powers every step from medical supplies and equipment to medications, procedures, and mission logistics.

This Thanksgiving, transform gratitude into healing. Help us save lives — one heartbeat at a time.
