*** 3RD Emergency Medical Campaign for Angelina Petrosian ***
https://soar-us.reachapp.co/campaigns/campaign-3rd-emergency-medical-fundraiser-for-angelina-petrosian

Angelina suffered brain hypoxia during childbirth and could not walk on her own.

In 2022, SOAR held a campaign for Angelina to receive her SDR neurosurgical procedure.

Because Angelina's legs were spastic until the age of 7, her left leg developed poorly, so Angelina developed asymmetry of the legs.

This problem worsened after the SDR operation, which prevented Angelina from standing on her own.

The family learned that Angelina needed another operation, an SPML, to correct this.

SOAR held a 2nd campaign for Angelina, and on September 12, 2023, Angelina was able to have her life-altering procedure.

Angelina's family has now learned she needs a 3rd operation, as she has developed valgus flatfoot and needs a Grice procedure to correct this. Extensive rehabilitation will be necessary after the operation. Both the operation and rehabilitation will take place in Greece at a cost of $48,000.

SOAR is holding a 3rd medical emergency campaign for Angelina. The operation cannot be scheduled until the funds are raised.

Please help us give Angelina a brighter future!

Easter is a cherished celebration of hope and renewal, especially for Armenian families across the globe. It is a time when communities come together to embrace the spirit of resurrection and new beginnings.

Many Armenian orphans may feel isolated during this festive season, longing for the warmth and joy that comes with being part of a family celebration.

This year, we invite you to join us in making a difference. With your support, we can ensure that every Armenian orphan feels valued and remembered during Easter.

Help us we can create a sense of belonging and joy for these children, reminding them that they are not forgotten.

Celebrating the Safe Return of Vicken Euljekjian

We are overjoyed to share the news of Prisoner of War (POW) Vicken Euljekjian’s safe return on January 14.

After years of uncertainty, Vicken is now reunited with his family and receiving the care he needs, as his family begins the important process of healing.

This moment reflects the dedication of our teams and supporters through Families of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund (FFSRF), Artsakh Family Integration Fund (AFIF), and Prisoner of War (POW) initiatives, focused on providing humanitarian support, care, and assistance to families affected by conflict.

Our work is guided by compassion, solidarity, and the commitment to stand with Artsakh families and the families of fallen soldiers.

A special thank you to Luciana Minassian, our Buenos Aires Chapter President, whose dedication, and tireless advocacy have played a vital role in supporting POWs and helping bring Vicken home safely.
