John: It's a tough time. Election news, disturbing rhetoric and uncertainty fill the headlines, making it feel hard to stay hopeful. It's easy to feel disheartened by the challenges we face, as a country and as a global community.

But I hope you know that your support for refugee families is a powerful force for good. Thank you for believing in a world where hope and humanity always prevail. 💛

In the midst of it all, stories of courage and resilience continue to remind us of the impact we are making together.

That's why I wanted to share this special and uplifting video with you:

This video gives a glimpse at how your compassion, generosity and action are making a real difference. It's a testament to the power of community and to people like you who show up when it matters most.

The International Rescue Committee plays a vital role in welcoming and providing resettlement and integration services for refugees and asylum seekers.

We operate in 29 offices across the U.S. to welcome and support newly arrived families by providing immediate aid, including food, housing, medical attention, business support, legal services and much more.

Your compassionate support helps to make this life-changing work possible. Thank you.

I hope the beautiful video brings you the same sense of hope it brought me. [link removed]

PHOTO: Gloria Etshumba was just 5 years old when she was separated from her family in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 13 years later, Gloria reunited with them in Boise, Idaho, with the help of the IRC. Gloria is pictured here with her little brother, Jordan.

Together, we'll keep making a difference for families facing crisis—no matter how challenging the moments may seem. 💛

With gratitude,
Andrea @ IRC
