As Doctors Without Borders teams continue to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, every dollar—every cent even—will make a difference. These are uncertain times for all of us, and generous monthly support allows us to prepare in advance for the unknown.

Our end-of-quarter deadline is just a few hours away, and we still have not met our goal of welcoming 507 new monthly donors to our movement. We just can’t afford to let our fundraising slow down, at precisely the moment our medical operations are scaling up. If you’re in the position to, will you become a monthly donor right now? Every person who steps up to give will help us respond to emergencies like the coronavirus.

Doctors Without Borders has seen firsthand how an infectious disease outbreak can devastate a community. So we’re thinking of you and your loved ones during this difficult moment—and we’ve taken concrete steps to protect our staff, medical and non-medical, alike. But that’s forced us to make some extremely difficult choices: We’ve suspended our face-to-face fundraising work, even though that means we could miss this end-of-quarter goal. 

We don’t want our canvassing teams—the dedicated people who hit the streets every day, inspiring others to support Doctors Without Borders—to endanger their own health, or that of others. But at the same time, we urgently need funding for our medical responses around the world—dollars that will go toward treating people in need of care, essential protective equipment for our medical staff, and other important work.

That’s why I’m turning to you for help right now. If you can, would you consider becoming a monthly donor to Doctors Without Borders right now? Tonight’s deadline is really important, and we only need 507 more people to step forward. You can click here to make your first monthly gift, and help Doctors Without Borders respond to emergencies like the coronavirus pandemic.

Once again—we’re thinking of you and your loved ones right now, and we’re so grateful for your support. Stay safe and stay healthy.
