Help Jumana! 

I am Jumana. I come from the Aleppo's countryside but with the war we came in Lebanon. I have five children and we all live in one room. A room we can't even afford. Our landlord asks us to pay in dollars, which is impossible for us. We have had to ask family and friends to lend us some money but we are all in a similar situation.


My children don't go to school. The public school didn't accept them because they are Syrian and we couldn't afford a private one. That was one of the most difficult decisions we have had to make. We had to compromise the future of our children. When I held my first child in my arms I remember thinking that I was gonna give him a great life, and look at us now. All the promises I made have turned into impossible dreams. If you are a mother, you will understand how hard it is to know they deserve it all but to not be able to give them anything. 


I dream about going back to Syria. I dream about our home in the countryside. But there is no going back, there is no home anymore. I am exhausted. Please, whomever reads this, please, I beg you, help us."

¡Ayuda Jumana! 

" Soy Jumana. Vengo de las afueras de Aleppo pero con la guerra vinimos al Líbano. Tengo cinco hijos y todos vivimos en una habitación. Una habitación que ni siquiera podremos permitirnos. Nuestro casero nos pide que paguemos en dólares, pero nos es imposible. Hemos tenido que pedir ayuda a familiares y amigos para que nos presten algo de dinero pero todos estamos en una situación similar.


Mis hijos no van a la escuela. La escuela pública no los aceptó porque son sirios y no podíamos permitirnos un colegio privado. Esa fue una de las decisiones más difíciles que hemos tenido que tomar. Tuvimos que comprometer el futuro de nuestros hijos. Cuando tuve a mi primer hijo en mis brazos recuerdo haber pensado que le iba a dar una gran vida, y míranos ahora. Todas las promesas que hice se han convertido en sueños imposibles. Si eres madre, entenderás lo difícil que es saber que se lo merecen todo y no poder darles nada.


Sueño con volver a Siria. Sueño con nuestra casa en el campo. Pero ya no hay vuelta atrás, ya no hay hogar. Estoy exhausta. Por favor, quien lea esto, por favor, te lo ruego, ¡ayúdanos!"
