Suhail's story:
He is 68 years old. He is blind. Suhail was
threatened by sectarian millitia so he left
Baghdad a year and a half ago. The militia killed
one of his daughters 19 years old, Zaineb,
His wife and two daughters left Amman to visit
their relatives in Baghdad. When they returned
after two weeks, the Jordanian border guards
rejected them and sent them back to Baghdad.
Suhail was alone for many months. He went many
many times to Interior Ministry to tell his story but
received no help. Suhail was terribly depressed
without his family and relied on the kindness of
his neighbors for help.
Finally this past winter, Suhail was reunited with
his family at last! CRP thanks Regina and her
family for the support they gave him in his
challenging times.

Maureen and her family read about one of our families whose house
was bare of furniture and whose 5 children had no toys. Maureen's
family donated funds to buy carpeting, a table and chairs, propane
heater, and toys for the children.
What a huge difference this family made for a refugee family in Amman!

Mori and her two sons wanted to help a family with sons
around the same age as hers. Mori's family funded for Um

work to begin a cottage industry
Thanks to Mori's family, Um Tariq has been able to improve her
family's situation by so much that they were able to move out of
their very small and dank home into a more comfortable one!
