Help Bashar!
Bashar run away with his family to Lebanon. But the war and the poverty he had endured, were nothing compare to what was about to come. His brother never left Syria and, after surviving a war, he died in the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria. He left behind 3 children.
Bashar and his sister took in the children. He has 4 children of his own and so does his sister. Her husband died in Syria and she has been a single mother ever since.
Bashar hasn't been able to pay rent and now, with 3 more people to feed, things are becoming really bad. He says he is tired. The stress of having to keep his family safe and healthy while trying to support his three nephews has left him no time to properly mourn the lost of his brother.
"I try to help them get rid of the trauma, I try for them to smile and be happy but all I really want to do is to stop. I just want for everything to stop for a bit so I can have time to breathe."

¡Ayuda a Bashar!
Bashar huyó con su familia al Líbano. La guerra y la pobreza no fueron nada comparado con lo que estaba por venir. Su hermano nunca salió de Siria y, tras sobrevivir una guerra, murió en el devastador terremoto que azotó Turquía y Siria, dejando a sus 3 hijos huérfanos.
Bashar y su hermana acogieron a los niños. Bashar ya tenía 4 hijos propios y su hermana también. El marido de la hermana murió en Siria y desde entonces es madre soltera.
Bashar no ha podido pagar el alquiler y ahora, con 3 personas más que alimentar, las cosas se están poniendo muy mal. Dice que está cansado. El estrés de tener que mantener a su familia segura y saludable mientras trata de ayudar a sus tres sobrinos, no le ha dejado tiempo para procesar adecuadamente la pérdida de su hermano.
"Trato de ayudarlos a quitarse el trauma, trato de que sonrían y sean felices, pero todo lo que realmente quiero hacer es parar. Solo quiero que todo se detenga un poco para poder tener tiempo para respirar".
¡Ayuda a Bashar a respirar! ¡Apadrina a su familia!
