The Qaraqosh cross is named for the largest Christian city in the Mosul region, often considered the cradle of Christianity in Iraq. ISIS began attacking this area in 2014, murdering Christians, demolishing churches and burning down peoples’ homes.

At Reload Love, we’ve adopted a different sort of creative vernacular in order to express what it is – exactly – that we do.
We speak of this “movement” as a “Lovement” because we believe that love is at the heart of our mission for these children.
On February 10th Reload Love will launch its 4th annual Love Bomb – a forty-eight-hour virtual giving campaign to bring aid to children throughout the world who’ve been impacted by the horror of terrorism. This year, a portion of the funds raised will help children of the Rohingya tribe.
At Reload Love, we want to honor our volunteers, monthly donors, and partners who make it all possible for us to help the children who are caught in the crossfire of terrorism.
Reload Love has been able to put up a playground for the children in Raqqa, Syria only a few months after a devastating battle to drive out IsIs ended with almost complete devastation of the city and thousands of casualties.
