No matter the race, gender, or generation, a child will always be a child.

That’s why elders who fled WWII as refugee children in 1945 are writing letters to the refugee children of today.

The Special Delivery CARE project honored the 5-year mark of the Syrian refugee crisis by sending care packages containing toys, candy, and letters to displaced children in Jordan.

The results were deeply moving.

“She made me feel like I exist,” said 16-year-old Sajeda when she opened the letter from 87-year-old Helga. “Even though I have not met her in person, she now plays an important role in my life.”

CARE has been sending humanitarian relief to asylum-seekers ever since they first reached out to WWII refugees in 1945. Over 2 million Syrians have already received aid; from food baskets and grocery debit cards, to hygiene kits and emergency shelters.
