John,

Did you see my email last week about our campaign to help mothers in places like Syria and around the world?

Well, because of amazing supporters like you, we have hit our goal!

But there is still so much work we need to do to help refugees, John. The stories we've sent you this week, including Amany's below, are the reason we do this work. They are proof that even in the midst of horrific conditions, we can make a difference one life at a time.

Please, will you donate today to help mothers like Amany and refugees worldwide?

Your gift will make a difference wherever the need is greatest.

Thank you so much for your support.

Subject: "I use the blanket to cover him at night."

John,
Tonight in a Syrian refugee camp, a mother named Amany is covering her freezing child with a blanket.

The blanket came from an IRC baby kit.

Mothers like Amany in places like Syria are facing horrific conditions. We need you to help us raise enough to send 3,000 baby kits to help them through this terrible crisis.

Please, will you give now to help terrified Syrian mothers and refugees facing crisis around the world?

Amany has given birth to two children since she was first forced to flee her home. She says it was easier giving birth to her son in the camp than when she had her daughter outside the camp, because in the camp there are groups like IRC, who provided her with a kit with essential items to help her look after her newborn baby.

In the midst of a dangerous winter, baby kits are transformational. They include cloth for wrapping the baby, soap for the baby, petroleum jelly and warm hats. The items support women in caring for their newborns when they may not be able to go to a facility to deliver.

The IRC are uniquely positioned to help families in Syria. We provide life-saving medical aid, safe spaces for women and girls, trauma services, child protection and counseling services, cash assistance and more.

In 2018, we helped close to 1 million Syrians inside their country and hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees in surrounding regions. Please will you chip in today so we can raise enough to help another 3,000 mothers?

John, IRC supporters are already making a huge difference, but we need more people like you to contribute to help us reach our goal. Every donation makes a real difference.

Sincerely,

Emily Sernaker
