John,
We're all going through tough times with the
rapid spread of coronavirus. Many of us are living in lockdown, while
others are dealing with illness or tragic loss of a loved
one. It's the biggest global
health crisis we'll face in our lifetimes, and it knows no borders. Life
has been turned upside down for everyone in the struggle to contain this
virus. Trusted caregivers are under immense pressure. And children are
feeling this too. They may struggle with anxiety, they may worry because
they're missing school, and they may fear that they or their families
may get sick. But there is
something you can do. You can help a child continue their education,
protect and prepare our doctors and health clinics in refugee camps,
protect children in unsafe households, and support families who have
lost their income.
We need your help to make sure
children get the resources they urgently need, and it would
make such a profound difference if you could step
up with an immediate gift:
 This virus is affecting people in all
countries and it has already reached some of the world's most vulnerable
communities such as refugee camps, conflict zones and urban
slums. Save the Children has launched a $100 million
appeal - the biggest in our 100-year history - to protect children
no matter where they live. We're already working in 120 countries,
helping the most vulnerable but we need your generosity to do
more.
Together we can minimize the impact of the virus on
the most vulnerable children - here at home and around the world. Your
support will help keep children alive, safe, and protected. If we act
fast, communities will be prepared and resilient and we can help
families get through this. We desperately need your
support.
Early action is vital. You can give the most
vulnerable children and families soap, clean water and critical hygiene
supplies, as well as the vital prevention guidance they
need.
Donate
now to help protect a child against coronavirus.
It's easy to feel powerless but all over the
world, supporters just like you are coming together to protect the most
vulnerable children. Your donation will help keep children alive and
safe so that they can survive this crisis, and adjust to life once it's
over. It's only by coming together
that we can protect those children who need us most. With thanks for your support at this
challenging time,
Save the Children
