Steps to Recovery: Supporting Syrian Amputees

Dear Supporter,

At NSPPL’s Afrin center, we recently welcomed Shadi, a resilient individual who lost both lower limbs due to a severe artillery strike. His journey to us was long and difficult, following displacement from Homs, yet filled with hope for a better future.

In the initial phase of his rehabilitation, our specialists focused on detailed assessments, measurements, and custom preparations for his double below-knee prosthetics. Every adjustment was carefully made to ensure proper fit, comfort, and long-term functionality. These early steps are crucial in laying the foundation for a successful recovery journey.

Your support allows us to provide this level of care and attention, bringing people like Shadi closer to independence.

With gratitude,

Dear Supporter,

Meet Tughan, a brave seven-year-old girl from Afrin who has faced extraordinary challenges since birth. Diagnosed with cerebral atrophy, she has struggled with severe speech difficulties and limited mobility. Despite these obstacles, Tughan’s spirit remains bright—and her journey toward a better life recently took a hopeful turn.

Accompanied by her father, Tughan visited NSPPL’s center in Afrin to begin receiving specialized physiotherapy care. Under the guidance of her dedicated therapist, Fatima, she began targeted sessions focusing on muscle strengthening and Achilles tendon stretching. These exercises are crucial in helping her regain functional mobility and achieve the independence she deserves.

Thanks to your continued support, children like Tughan are taking steps—both big and small—toward a more free and dignified life.

With heartfelt appreciation,
