Dear Supporter,
Because of your support, babies like Aline are receiving the care they need to survive their most fragile moments.
Aline was born far too early — at just 29 weeks of pregnancy. Today she is only ten days old, and her tiny body is still fighting to grow strong enough for the world outside.
Her birth came suddenly through an emergency C-section after her mother developed dangerously high blood pressure. Only two days later, Aline’s breathing rapidly worsened. She was urgently transferred to one of SEMA’s pediatric hospitals, struggling with severe respiratory distress.
Our medical team immediately began lifesaving treatment.
She received surfactant therapy to help her immature lungs function and was placed on mechanical ventilation for 48 hours.
Alhamdulillah, the doctors were able to wean her off the ventilator.
But Aline’s journey is not over.
Because of her extreme prematurity, she continues to experience repeated breathing pauses, and she remains under close monitoring inside the neonatal intensive care unit, supported by specialized respiratory equipment and therapeutic nutrition.
Today, Aline continues her quiet fight for life inside the NICU.
And thanks to supporters like you, she is receiving the care she needs.
But across northern Syria, many premature babies face an uncertain future. A shortage of incubators and intensive care beds means that some newborns may not find the lifesaving care they need in time.
Your support is helping us expand neonatal care — providing incubators, ventilators, and specialized treatment so more fragile newborns can have the chance to survive and grow.
Thank you for standing with these tiny fighters and helping protect their very first breaths.
With gratitude,
Together, we can give more newborns the chance to begin their lives safely.
