Friend,
My name is Jed Meline, and I lead Project HOPE’s Policy and Advocacy work. I wanted to update you since Rabih’s message from last week on the freeze on critical foreign aid for health and humanitarian programs. I also want to ask for your help again today.
Since you heard from Rabih, the cut-off of nearly all foreign aid continues. Without immediate intervention, the ripple effects of this funding halt will be devastating for Project HOPE’s work.
Every day this aid remains frozen, it puts at risk decades of progress made against global health threats like malaria, HIV, and tuberculosis. From food aid to disaster relief and health programs, this funding is a critical and strategic investment that means life-or-death realities for mothers seeking maternal health care, people with HIV, and survivors of displacement and disaster in need of mental health support. Funding must be resumed as soon as possible.
Friend, compassionate people like you can take a stand for those in need today. Please urge your representatives in Congress to reverse the freezes on foreign aid and save millions of lives around the world.
Project HOPE's commitment to provide urgent relief and lasting impact around the world remains unwavering. With your support, we refuse to give up.
Thank you for standing with us.
With gratitude,

Dear Friend,
I’m writing you today to ask for your help.
The U.S. recently froze critical health and humanitarian aid programs, threatening the lives and livelihoods of millions of people and exposing the U.S. to national security threats. These orders have immediate and dire consequences for the millions of people who rely on these programs for lifesaving aid.
Without immediate intervention, the ripple effects of this funding halt will be devastating for Project HOPE’s work.
Children will go without basic medical care, pregnant women will lose access to essential maternal health care, people with HIV will go without lifesaving medications, and mental health support for people displaced by conflict will be cut off. For the people we serve, these cuts aren’t just numbers—they are life-or-death realities. They are mothers, fathers, and entire communities who rely on these services to survive.
But in moments of uncertainty, I remind myself to look to our supporters—compassionate people like you who stand up for those in need. Your voice matters, Friend. Please urge your representatives in Congress to act now to resume U.S. foreign assistance immediately.

In my 25 years of humanitarian work, I’ve seen the strength that comes from people coming together in times of crisis. So today, I am asking you to be part of that strength and community of support—and take action for people in need by calling on Congress to act now to save funding for lifesaving health and humanitarian aid.
While we navigate this uncertain landscape, Project HOPE’s commitment remains unwavering. Our teams are responding to devastating wildfires in Southern California, providing emergency medical services in Ukraine, and delivering healthcare to children in Gaza who are facing famine-like conditions. Headline after headline sounds the alarm about disasters and humanitarian crises. It feels relentless. But I promise you this: we refuse to give up.
Thank you for standing with us.
With gratitude,
