It is not possible.
 
 
Dear John,

The coronavirus pandemic has upended many of our lives and daily routines. We're all adjusting to a new normal of social distancing, quarantining, and isolating.

But for the one million refugees gathered in a camp on the Turkish-Syrian border or for the 50,000 refugees massed in a 6,000-person space in Greece, social distancing is not an option. It's impossible.

That means when the disease reaches refugee camps, it will grow exponentially. Without question, these already vulnerable populations will be hit hardest. We must prepare and act now. Rush a gift to support the IRC's work to prepare, respond and prevent further transmission of the coronavirus, and help refugees worldwide.
 
 
 
 
John, we know the magnitude of the crisis can make the solutions hard to see. But, they are there and you can help. Your gift today will support refugees worldwide, including work in camps to:
  • Ensure people are aware of how to protect themselves from the disease and know where to seek medical support if they become ill.
  • Support local efforts to contain and further reduce the impact of the outbreak.
  • Increase the number of hand-washing stations around our programming sites.
A quick and robust response determines how many people we can keep healthy. It determines the outcome for millions of refugees' lives. We can act quickly, but need your support to fully do so.

Please, don't hesitate in this moment. Rush your gift today to support IRC teams on the frontlines of combating this disease in refugee camps, and supporting families in crisis zones worldwide. »

With gratitude,
