Dear John,

As the holiday season ❄️ is here and families gather across the world, we are reminded that the spirit of generosity, hope, and humanity, goes beyond borders.
However, in places affected by conflict and loss, that spirit feels fragile. 

In Ukraine, Natalia Marchenko tells us of how a missile strike damaged her home. In the days that followed, her family struggled with the cold, broken windows and the fear that settled in after the attack. Thanks to supporters like you, Natalia received emergency material to keep her home warm, blankets and psychological support to strengthen her family’s recovery.🙏

“In October, in the middle of the night, we were all sleeping when the missile hit. We were very lucky, because if someone wasn’t asleep in their bed, they would have most likely died.”

Stories like Natalia’s remind us that even in the hardest moments, families show extraordinary resilience. And they remind us of the power we hold together when we choose to help.

Your gift this holiday season ❄️ can offer warm and stability to someone who is rebuilding their life right now. Through our Gift Catalogue, you can provide essential winter items, protection, or emergency support to families who need it most.

 
 
 
 
This holiday season ❄️, as we share joy and warmth in our own homes, let us extend that light a little further to vulnerable families facing these winter months.

Your gift today brings more than aid; It brings the reassurance that the world still cares.

With heartfelt thanks and hope,
