Friend,

As many of us gather with friends and loved ones to celebrate Thanksgiving today, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support throughout this challenging year. 

It has been a difficult time for so many folks, and your generosity and support has made a profound difference in the lives of those affected by disasters and crises – from Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the Southeast to the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.

Every contribution and message of encouragement has strengthened our mission to provide lifesaving aid to people affected by poverty and disaster. Together, we have responded where we’re needed most, in the moments when we’re needed most – delivering medical supplies, clean water and critical medications to communities facing unimaginable hardships.

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for supporters like you, friend. Your commitment and selflessness power our lifesaving work every day.

But as we share our gratitude today, let’s also hold in our hearts those who are still facing challenges. Together, we can continue to make an impact and show the world the strength of our shared humanity.

Wishing you a Thanksgiving of joy and peace surrounded by loved ones.

With gratitude,

Christine Squires
President and CEO
