Dear John,
Millions of people around the world have been forced to flee their homes in recent years. They leave for many reasons: war, persecution, climate disasters, and other catastrophic events. Most face daunting challenges in rebuilding their lives.
That’s where kind AFSC supporters like you come in. On Giving Tuesday, people all over the world help fund the causes they care about. That’s one way they put their values into action. This year, we are asking for your support for our Refugee Response Fund, which provides life-changing and lifesaving services for refugees, immigrants and internally displaced people. And when you give today, an anonymous donor will match your gift 100%, up to $50,000!
AFSC works with people from Ukraine, Turkey, Gaza, Somalia, South Sudan, El Salvador, and many other countries. We offer humanitarian relief, legal aid, trauma healing, and more. In the U.S. alone, AFSC’s legal staff helps about 2,000 immigrants each year. We help displaced people heal, recover, and rebuild. We advocate for humane migration policies. And we help communities address the root causes of displacement so fewer people are forced to move.
Refugees, immigrants, and internally displaced people deserve to live in safety and peace and to have their rights respected. That’s the world we’re trying to build. Unfortunately, we’re not there yet, and millions of people will continue to face hardships in the coming year. On this special day of giving, please donate generously to the Refugee Response Fund. Your gift will be matched, and your kindness will be felt around the world.
