We are all in this together ▸ |
If the recent global outbreak of COVID-19 is teaching us anything, it’s how truly connected we are to each other, how intertwined our health and lives are. Today, as we face historic levels of humanitarian need, we must dedicate more resources to helping families in crisis. Over 820 million people went hungry last year. Others are impacted daily by extreme weather, droughts and instability caused by climate change. And with COVID-19 taking root across the globe, untold numbers of refugees face the reality that the camps where they’ve taken refuge aren’t safe. In such close quarters, it’s nearly impossible to safely distance from others, even people who are clearly sick.
As COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, it is the most vulnerable communities, like this one in southern Idlib, Syria, that face acute risk from this pandemic and other diseases.
Please make your gift of $10 or more to our COVID-19 Resilience Fund today to help us reach our $88,000 goal by March 31. Together, we can make up to 5 times the impact and deliver food, water, sanitation, hygiene supplies and critical aid to more families. How does your gift have up to 5 times the impact? Since 2015, Mercy Corps has been able to raise an average of $4 in government and foundation grants compared to every $1 in individual gifts. Your gift today will be combined with grants from other sources, enabling us to provide even more lifesaving assistance to people in crisis around the world. As a Mercy Corps supporter and a humanitarian, I know you understand that global connection. I’ve been amazed by this community’s response to so many urgent needs around the world. Despite the challenges the world faces, we’re not giving up. At this moment, we’re relying on you more than ever to help us protect the most vulnerable. If you can, please make a gift in this time of intense global need. Sincerely, Adrienne Karecki, Mercy Corps Chief Development and Marketing Officer |
