In Ukraine, winter has only begun, but frigid temperatures, snow, and wind storms have already battered civilians living through war — many without electricity, gas, or running water.
Harsh winter conditions are a threat to millions of people in places like Ukraine, Syria, and Afghanistan.
A group of generous donors has contributed $142,000 to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund to encourage our community of supporters to match their gifts. With your matching gift today, together you will help us go 2X as far to support families in need around the world this giving season — make your tax-deductible gift by credit card, PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay today.
Families gathered in Kyiv amid frigid temperatures last winter as a Mercy Corps partner distributed essential items, such as clothing and hygiene supplies.
Right now, it’s estimated that 17.6 million people need humanitarian assistance nearly two years after the full-scale war began in Ukraine. The war continues to threaten lives and damage civilian infrastructure. Damage from attacks on energy, water, and gas systems will drive up humanitarian needs as temperatures drop below freezing this winter.
Mercy Corps and our local partners are ramping up our efforts to reach families during these winter months. We’re helping families purchase critical cold-weather necessities and delivering essential items like food, hygiene products, bedding, and shelter kits.
Your support is critical to powering our work to help families emerge from crisis and look toward a more vibrant future. Can we count on you to make your tax-deductible, matching year-end gift to support Mercy Corps’ humanitarian response in places like Ukraine and 40+ countries in the year ahead?
With gratitude,
Kyle DeGraw
Head of Media, Europe
P.S. We know you’re hearing a lot from us these days. The reason is simple: Every dollar we raise right now helps the people we work with protect their families and improve their lives.
