John, did you see our most recent update? Hurricane Helene’s destruction becomes more evident with each passing day. 

Over 1.9 million children across six states are still reeling from the disastrous impact of this storm – struggling to access working power, running water and other essentials.

There’s no telling how long it’s going to take for affected families to recover. But with your help, we’re working to deliver critical care, supplies and support to the children who need it most – and we’re going to keep responding, no matter how long it takes.

From child-focused supplies like diapers and baby wipes to essentials like hygiene kits and other resources, we’re working to make sure the families who were hit hardest by this storm are getting the support they need. And as we continue to assess the extent of the damage, we’re counting on caring people like you to help children today.

Please rush a donation toward our $50,000 Children’s Emergency Fund goal for children in the U.S. impacted by Hurricane Helene and other crises. This fund makes it possible for our teams to respond quickly and effectively when emergencies strike – but it’s only possible with your support.

Thank you for supporting children, wherever and whenever.

Subject: Quick update on Hurricane Helene response  

John, countless communities are still reeling after Hurricane Helene – one of the most powerful storms to ever hit the United States – left widespread destruction. 

Here’s what you need to know:

1. At least 160 people have been killed, and many are still missing. More than 2 million people still don’t have power, and many roads remain closed, leaving communities cut off from critical resources.
2. Save the Children is responding to meet the needs of children and families impacted by this disaster. Our teams are working alongside partners in the affected communities to ensure critical supplies – including hygiene kits, diapers and baby wipes – get to those that need them most.
3. In moments of crisis like this, support from caring people like you is more important than ever.

The Children’s Emergency Fund helps our teams respond when disasters strike in the U.S., so please, will you make an emergency donation of $30 or more now to support this critical work?

With your help, we will remain in communities as long as it takes to help children and their families recover. Thank you for all you do, especially in moments of crisis.
