John, while we celebrate the holiday season alongside our friends and families, millions of children around the world are growing up in crisis. They need our help, but we’re falling short of our critical goal of $350,000.

As so many children face unimaginable crises – including brutal conflict in Gaza and Syria, hunger in Sudan and the lasting impacts of hurricanes across the United States – we must make our goal in order to rush support to where it’s needed most in 2025.

That’s why we’re asking you to make your first gift of $30 or more this holiday season to help children facing war, hunger and other hardships around the world. A generous group of donors* will MATCH your donation dollar for dollar up to $350,000, so don’t miss out on doubling your impact.

We can’t forget about children around the world facing hunger, conflict and a lack of education. No matter where they’re growing up, every child deserves safety this time of year and every day.

Thank you for giving generously this holiday season so children everywhere can grow up healthy, educated and safe.

Wishing you a peaceful holiday season,

Michelle Sharnick
Save the Children
