As we approach Advent and wait for Christmas and the joy of Jesus’ birth, it’s important to remember that some things can’t wait. For families around the world, time is running out to get the vital supplies they need to survive the winter.
Please help families before the worst of winter sets in.
Omar is a father who lives in a remote, mountainous part of Afghanistan. It can get as cold as -25°C in the mountains, and heavy snowfall often leaves communities isolated, so Omar and his community usually try to stockpile enough food, fuel and warm blankets to see them through. But, recently severe drought and a major economic crisis have forced many families to eat whatever food they can get just to survive - leaving little or nothing to sell or put aside for the winter.
With temperatures plummeting and blizzards threatening to leave remote communities cut off completely, time is running out for people like Omar to get the supplies they need to survive the cold.
Please give today. You could help a father like Omar keep his family warm until the snow melts.
