John,

With the holiday season rapidly approaching, millions of children experiencing hunger, extreme poverty and violent conflict are preparing to face a harsh, frigid winter.

Our teams are working around the clock to support children who are especially impacted by the cold weather – children like 11-year-old Mazen* in Syria. Harsh conditions are impacting thousands of families like his who have been displaced from their homes due to violent conflict and the aftermath of this year’s horrific earthquakes. Children like Mazen have had their daily lives and education upended, and their futures remain uncertain.

With your generosity, Save the Children’s partner organization in Syria provided Mazen’s family with a cash grant to ensure they’re able to buy necessities like fuel and winter clothing and enroll him in school.

Our work for children in crisis is made possible by the generosity of supporters like you, so we’ve put together a list of our top Gifts of Joy donations that you can choose from to help children like Mazen – and others in Gaza, Somalia and around the world. We hope you’ll take a moment to browse our Gifts of Joy catalog and see how you can make a difference for children this holiday season:

And now, for a limited time only, with your Gifts of Joy donation of $150 or more, you’ll receive a bag of ground Nicaragua Las Nubes coffee from Ian Happ and Connect Roasters!

So please, this holiday season, will you make a Gifts of Joy Catalog donation? You can browse our Gift Catalog here to see all the different ways your donation can help children this season.

Thank you for being a dedicated partner for children. Your support helps create positive, irreversible change for so many children around the world.
