John, as we prepare for the holiday season, many of us are thinking of ways to share the joy with our friends and family. Yet, millions of children worldwide are bracing for winter, especially those affected by hunger, poverty and conflict.

When an economic crisis rocked her hometown in Sri Lanka, 12-year-old Heshani* was forced to leave school due to a lack of fuel for transportation. Her family faced economic hardship that left them without nutritious meals or basic supplies.

But with help from compassionate people like you, Save the Children provided Heshani’s family with critical cash assistance. With support, her family was then able to buy three months’ worth of food, get Heshani the supplies she needed and even start a business making and selling soaps to bring in a steady income.

This work wouldn’t be possible without people like you, John.

Ahead of the holiday rush, we’ve put together a special gift guide. Your gift donation can help improve children's lives. Each donation comes with a free, personalized holiday card to send to someone you care about.

So please, will you make a donation for children this holiday season? Your support can help provide children with nutritious meals, clean water, access to an education and safety from harm.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to kids everywhere.
