JOhn,

I’m following up on an urgent message we sent last week about the devastating earthquake in Myanmar. If you didn’t get a chance to see it, I hope you’ll take a moment now. The need is great, and there’s still time to help.

The March 28 earthquake in Myanmar was powerful — and heartbreaking. With nearly 900,000 people affected, the damage is deep and widespread: More than 3,000 people have lost their lives, with thousands of buildings flattened, roads destroyed and bridges collapsed — cutting off entire communities from critical resources. Families are facing immense uncertainty, and many are going without food.

Here’s what we’re doing: Rise Against Hunger Malaysia is working with local partners to prepare an entire shipping container of meals — 185,000 total — in Bangkok. We hope to fund three additional meal containers as recovery continues, which will be delivered by land to Myanmar and distributed to those who need them most.

This is where you come in. Your gift to our Global Emergency Relief Fund will help us get these meals there — and fuel our ability to act fast when the next crisis hits.

With gratitude,

Lacey Perry,

Donor Engagement Manager
