WWII Refugees Send Heartfelt Messages Of Hope To Syrian Children

Sometimes, in the darkest of times, you can still find a little bit of light.

You and I will probably never know the life of a refugee. Most of us have a place to call home and more have a land to call ours. But for some in our world, they have no land to call home. They had to flee their country or face the possibility of death. The tragedy that is the Syrian Refugee Crisis has left more than 4 million refugees displaced around the world.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this happen either. During World War II, thousand of people had to flee their homes and find sanctuary in other countries. Some of those who fled in 1945 are now paying it forward to current refugees.

They’ve taken up pens and used their words to send a message of hope to those struggling in Jordan and surrounding areas:

WWII refugees have collaborated with CARE.org to write these heartfelt letters and tell current refugees to keep going strong. While the writing is inspiring, its hard to watch the video without finding tears trickling from the corners of your eyes.

“I know it is always difficult to adjust in a different country. I feel very deeply for you,” writes 87-year-old Helga Kissell.

She and other refugees know how hard it is to flee and then adapt to a new life. However, the letters and care packages being sent have lifted the spirits of those who received them. A few more children are a little happier thanks to these gifts.

And it’s not just former refugees that are sending these inspiring messages. Anybody can donate and anybody can inspire.

After you watch the following video, please SHARE this story with others to let them know how much you care. It will inspire them to take action too!
