Dear Friend,

I’m reaching out today to ask for your help. My name is Jake Wheeler, and I was the Ukraine Response Field Lead for Americares. As I write this, the people of Ukraine are facing unthinkable challenges: The brutal war continues to claim lives, disrupt families and leave communities in need of humanitarian aid. That’s why I’m personally asking for your support today.

Thanks to a generous donor, your contribution today can be 8X-matched – making your impact eight times greater for people who are struggling to survive this conflict and other crises worldwide. So please, will you rush an 8X-matched gift now and help us reach our urgent $980,000 goal by midnight?

So far, our teams have provided over $122 million in aid, reaching more than 80 local organizations directly supporting those most affected by the war. I’ve seen firsthand how Americares is helping families through this crisis – but we need your help to keep going, friend.

The war in Ukraine is far from over, and I’ve spoken to doctors, frontline workers and families who are depending on our support to stay alive and rebuild.

People like Dr. Roman Kizyma, who told us the aid Americares provides is a “matter of life and death” for children with cancer in Lviv. Or Yaryna, a refugee who found strength and support through Americares-funded mental health programs after fleeing Ukraine.

I can tell you from my experience on the ground, friend: Your gift could not come at a more crucial time. Please, will you donate before midnight to take advantage of the upgraded 8X match and help us meet our urgent $980,000 year-end goal?

Together, we will save lives and bring hope to those who need it most.

Thank you,

Jake Wheeler
Americares
