She was holding her children as she sat in the IDP collection point outside ISIS lines. She admitted she had lost two husbands who were ISIS and she was afraid. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe were told we would be raped, tortured, and killed by the enemy if we left ISIS and ran to the SDF lines. This is amazing. Thank you, thank you,\u201d she said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Wednesday night, she and her children were among the over 200 new arrivals, many of whom arrived as the sun set and were now freezing in the open. Kurds and Arabs of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) both worked through the night and gave life-saving blankets\u00a0and food to help them. The SDF helped us to get blankets and food to every person who had fled ISIS the past two days and it was inspiring. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The IDP collection point is far away in the desert from major towns and many of the arrivals come with only the clothes on their\u00a0backs and small bags.\u00a0They need water, food, medical care, blankets, and shelter. The SDF is helping us get all these needed goods and this not only relieves suffering and saves lives, it is\u00a0also\u00a0an act of love that these ISIS families will never forget &#8211; their enemies having mercy on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thanks for being in this with us. For us, we feel that without God over all this, the prayers and support of many, and the SDF partnership here on the ground, it would be impossible. We thank God and all of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thank you and God bless you,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dave, family, and team<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_74168\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8946.jpg\" alt=\"A mother cares for two babies as blankets arrive. \" width=\"600\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8946.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8946-300x291.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">A mother cares for two babies as blankets arrive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_74169\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8979.jpg\" alt=\"A mother and newborn with blankets delivered at midnight. \" width=\"600\" height=\"556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8979.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8979-300x278.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">A mother and newborn with blankets delivered at midnight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_74170\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8991.jpg\" alt=\"Suu with the blankets driven for hours across the desert by the SDF.\" width=\"600\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8991.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8991-300x228.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Suu with the blankets driven for hours across the desert by the SDF.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_74172\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74172\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_9002.jpg\" alt=\"A mother covers her children.\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_9002.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_9002-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">A mother covers her children.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_74173\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_9003.jpg\" alt=\"A family sleeping under their new blankets.\" width=\"600\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_9003.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_9003-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">A family sleeping under their new blankets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_74171\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8996.jpg\" alt=\"Karen gives blankets to men who recently fled ISIS stronghold.\" width=\"600\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8996.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_8996-300x248.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Karen gives blankets to men who recently fled ISIS stronghold.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<script type='text\/javascript'>\nvar post=eval({\"id\":74167,\"title\":\"&#8220;Are you sure it&#8217;s ok?&#8221; asked an ISIS woman.
