ARS Urgent Appeal: Aleppo Armenian Community in Crisis

[VIP Forums Group]

The Armenian Relief Society (ARS) of Eastern USA calls on its members and supporters to aid the Armenian community of Aleppo, as the civil war in Syria enters a new and dangerous phase.

The Armenian Relief Society remains faithful to its mission statement—providing aid ‘from the people to the people’

Our brothers and sisters are in imminent danger, both physically and to their personal property. Armenian churches continue to be targeted—as we heard last week, when one of our most iconic symbols, the 15th-century Armenian Church of Forty Martyrs, was damaged.

Today, more than ever, the fate of all those who remain in Aleppo is in jeopardy, and we must respond immediately!

Please donate—by visiting www.arseastusa.org/donate — so that the ARS can continue to provide desperately needed assistance to the most vulnerable still trapped in Aleppo.
