Dear friend,
When it comes to climate emergencies like storms, droughts, and floods, emergency preparedness is key to withstanding the impacts of those disasters.
Mercy Corps takes action to ensure that families are supported every step of the way. From immediately responding to emergencies and delivering urgent relief to helping communities recover, a gift from you today makes all the difference in the lives of families impacted by nature’s disasters.
In just a second, we will explain to you how much of an impact a contribution from you today will make. Before we do, will you make a gift today to help families caught in the midst of crises around the globe?

Here are three ways your gift can help make an impact for communities facing extreme weather:
|
 |
|
You’ll help invest in emergency preparedness efforts in countries and regions across the Caribbean: Mercy Corps works with communities to transform gyms and other facilities into Resilient Hubs with prepositioned lifesaving supplies to respond to emergencies as quickly as possible. |
| |
| |
|
You’ll help make sure that essential public resources such as schools, clinics, and small businesses are able to function as quickly as possible: In 2020, the Bahamas were struck by Hurricane Dorian and left a school heavily damaged and without water. Children with mental and physical disabilities from 5 to 21 who attended that school were able to return to class. Mercy Corps quickly brought in crucial water supplies to provide running water and make it possible for students to be back in school. |

| |
|
You’ll help small businesses recover quicker and more efficiently: When disaster strikes, small business owners who primarily rely on agriculture take a heavy hit. Crops are damaged, revenue decreases, and workers who rely on that income aren’t able to feed their families. Mercy Corps makes grants available to help small businesses get back running and accelerate their recovery process. |
|
Before Climate Week ends, support Mercy Corps to help communities prepare, adapt, and recover from crisis. Make your first gift today.
Together, we can create strong, more climate-resilient communities.
Thank you,
The Mercy Corps team
