Watts says that she felt moved to help out all the people in Syria – seeing footage of how "desperate and hopeless they are."
“It’s very heartbreaking and I wish we could help more,” Watts said. “They need gear for the volunteered workers to help rescue people. We’re over here in our American bubble – this is the least we can do."
Horn Smith adds that she can't even begin to imagine what these people are going through.

“I feel so hopeless,” Horn Smith said. “I'm watching these videos and reading all these articles from the comfort of my own home – the only thing I know how to help is to donate.”
An artists market will take place on Sunday afternoon at The Highland Inn & Ballroom Lounge at 644 North Highland Avenue in Atlanta.
Vendors will be there from 5 p.m. – 11 p.m.
Ten percent of any sales made from the Fossil & Hide booth will go towards the Syria crisis.
If you're unable to attend the event, but would still like to help, you can donate to the Syria Campaign.
