The most important fundraising day of the year, Giving Tuesday is our one chance to make sure the millions of children around the world suffering from the effects of conflict, hunger and disaster get the futures they deserve. One of those children is Ali* – and today, [you can make DOUBLE** the life-changing difference for kids like him with a Giving Tuesday donation.]( ["In the past, when a plane came, we would be excited and ran outside to watch, but no the bombardment has intensified." – Ali]( Ali was just 8 years old when bombings began, forcing his family to flee their home in Syria. After two months of displacement, Ali and his family returned home only to find that many of the buildings in their village were destroyed – including his school. Already left without an education or a way to play with his friends, Ali’s life turned completely upside down when shelling struck him at a nearby market. When he finally woke up after the blast, he realized that his leg was gone. “I immediately thought that I will not be able to play with my friends, run with them, play football, and go to school as I used to before.” [Support kids like Ali this Giving Tuesday]( The trauma of having his leg amputated took a huge toll on Ali – but with help from caring people like you, Save the Children was able to get him the psychosocial support he needed to begin the healing process. Now, Ali is back in school, with dreams of becoming a prosthetics technician and a world-renowned runner. He would like not only to help children impacted by conflict like himself, but also to prove that kids like him are stronger than conflict or war. Ali’s story is one of resilience and a powerful example of what your commitment to children can accomplish. And this Giving Tuesday, you have an incredible opportunity to help more children like him with your matched gift.
