John, this time of year is so crucial for us as we work to support a generation of children facing immediate and long-term crises. Today, we’re sharing three inspiring stories to demonstrate how your additional support right now can make a significant impact in the lives of children around the world – but before we do:
Your $30 donation can make a direct impact for children like the 2-year-old son of Omer Sharfy, an emergency rapid response lead at Save the Children Sudan. After violence broke out near their home in Khartoum, Omer's son became terrified. As noises grew louder and more violent, he ran to hide under a bed as a gunfire raid was set off outside.
Your $30 matched gift can make brighter futures for children like Sofia,* 16, displaced from her home in Ukraine with her grandmother after Russia launched its attack. Oftentimes without signal or power, she can't communicate with her family and doesn't know when she'll be able to see them again.
Your contribution can be a turning point for children like Jaiyana.* At just 10 months old, she came to our health center in Pakistan. She was severely malnourished after devastating floods, which destroyed crops and grain stores that were sources of income for so many families. With your help, we can continue providing medicine and therapeutic food to Jaiyana and millions more facing hunger and malnutrition.
There's no better time to give than now, so in honor of the holiday season:
Thank you for doing your part on behalf of children around the world.
