He has known nothing but Syria's violence and conflict since he was born in Aleppo in 2011, and now he is the sole provider for his six person family. After heart disease rendered his father unfit to work. Abu Roseanne braves the cold every day, hoping to hitch a ride to the cleaning product factory where he works. This is Brianna, Gina, honey. They have the necessity. Every day I wake up at 6 a.m. To go. Sometimes a car stopped to pick us up, and sometimes it does not. Okay, I miss you. We go every day on foot. We work all day from the morning until sunset. We then come home, eat and put our heads to sleep. The German horning in no, no, no. The year he was born, peaceful protests against President Bashar al Assad's government began. Those demonstrations quickly escalated into the multi sided conflict that sucked in world powers. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed and millions like Abu Ridin and his family were displaced. Since then, education has become a distant memory. We had a house and I used to go to school every day and I was studying. Then we were displaced here and they destroyed our school and our homes. I don't know whether I said No, I don't have. You know, Abu Ridden works up to 10 hours a day for just $13 a month. The work is tiring. He spends his days packing goods into large sacks, some twice his size. By the time Abu Radon gets back to the tent he shares with his parents and three sisters, he's so exhausted that he can do nothing but eat and sleep in the tent does little to shield the family from Syria's harsh winters, Abu Ridden has become an expert at making cups of tea to stay warm, working the gas cylinder with the confidence of an adult. UNICEF said earlier this month that 90% of Children in Syria are in need of humanitarian assistance as a 20% increase over the past year alone.
