International Rescue Committee

Dear John,

I am reaching out today to ask for your urgent help.

By donating now, you can help us provide support to mothers and families in crisis areas around the world.

Our newborn baby kits ensure that expectant moms will have healthy deliveries and the supplies they need to care for their precious newborns. In conflict-affected countries like Syria, Yemen, and South Sudan, this can make all the difference to ensure the health of the mother and child.

Baby kits assist mothers like Suha, who was forced to flee multiple times from her home in Syria to find safety for her family.

Suha was pregnant with her youngest child when she arrived in Areesha Camp. Soon after, she found herself facing the frightening prospect of needing a C-section in the camp. With no source of income for her family, she had to borrow money to undergo the risky C-section.

Since then, Suha has suffered complications from the difficult birth — and she and her husband have struggled to provide for their newborn baby and his siblings, especially during these winter months.

"With the little one, well there are expenses in raising him, there are diapers, there's milk. We don't save any money for food as it all gets spent on diapers and milk." -Suha

Please, will you donate to help us support mothers like Suha and refugees worldwide?

$21 could provide 1 mother with a baby kit »

$63 could provide 3 mothers with baby kits »

$105 could provide 5 mothers with baby kits »

Or donate another amount »

Because of donors like you, the IRC provided Suha with a newborn baby kit, including diapers, baby clothes, shampoo, and women's undergarments, which she said has helped tremendously.

John, time is running out to help more mothers like Suha, who are living in crisis areas and need our urgent support to care for their newborn babies. Donate today and you'll help us deliver baby kits to moms in countries like Syria, and send much needed aid to refugees worldwide.

Thank you for standing with humanity. Your gift will not be forgotten.

With deep gratitude,

Emily Sernaker

$21 represents the cost of a newborn baby kit filled with clothing, warm blankets, baby soap, diapers and other necessities. Gifts like baby kits are symbolic, representing many of the programs, projects and tools that compose the IRC's work every day around the world. Allowing us to deliver comprehensive and holistic help to uprooted people, your gift will be used where and when most needed. And, when combined with those of other donors, your gift becomes a powerful means to survival, recovery, and the restoration of dignity and self-reliance for those uprooted by conflict or natural disaster.
