Lindsay Lohan Visits Syrian Refugees in Turkey: ‘We Should Do More for Each Other’

Just weeks after Angelina Jolie visited Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lindsay Lohan paid a visit to an Istanbul hospital that is currently home to a refugee family from Aleppo.

The Mean Girls star shared several photos from her visit, and introduced her Instagram followers to the Hussein family. “The father, Mohammad, was injured severely in Aleppo and his wife left him and her three kids after they migrated to Turkey,” Lohan wrote. “The lovely girl is Heya, 9, and her twin brother is Leys. The Sultanbeyli Municipality is covering their rent and kitchen expenses, but the conditions of the house are very bad. The older brother was not in the house with us because, although he is 17, he had to work in order to take better care of his family.”

Lohan – who also brought gifts for the refugees – grew especially close to Heya. “I can’t forget Heya whom I met during my visit to the Hussein family. She couldn’t care less about our gifts to her, whose mother has gone. She held me more and more tight when she sat on my lap,” she recalled. “I sniffed her hair, took her hands and held her tight. I understood at that moment once again that we can do more for each other, that we should do more for each other. And we can start by giving support to #Turkey, which did its part in this huge human tragedy called Syria by welcoming three million refugees. We should do more, starting today.”

The 30-year-old actress also quoted Mother Teresa in a prior post, writing: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
