Today, when we looked at the numbers from Giving Tuesday Now, we were incredibly moved by the response from supporters who stepped up during these difficult times to help us keep providing medical aid in more than 70 countries. In total, 3,512 people joined our global movement yesterday to help our teams slow the spread of COVID-19 and respond to other medical emergencies everywhere they’re needed. 

Today is the first day of Nurses Week—and right now, Doctors Without Borders nurses are working around the world to deliver medical care, even as the novel coronavirus presents new challenges. From treating people in detention centers in conflict-torn Libya to traveling through swamps to vaccinate children against measles in Democratic Republic of Congo, our nurses go where others can’t—or won’t—to save lives.

With COVID-19 adding to the challenges nurses face, we want to let them know just how grateful we are for the work they do to provide care and compassion where it’s needed most. 

Will you take a moment now to send a thank-you note to a Doctors Without Borders nurse? You can simply say “thank you” or add your own personalized message to tell them how much you care.

Thank you.
