Friend, I’m reaching out today to ask for your help. My name is Raúl Pineda and I’m part of Americares emergency response team. As I write this, the people of Jamaica are facing unthinkable challenges: Hurricane Melissa devastated multiple communities, destroying homes, health centers and roads. Access to health care was cut off for many. That’s why I’m personally asking for your support today.

Thanks to a generous group of donors, your gift to Americares before midn‌ight on De‌c. 31 can be 6X-matched. And I can tell you because I’ve seen it with my own eyes: You can make a BIG difference. Will you give today before this rare 6X match ends?

Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm on record to hit Jamaica, left a trail of devastation, and surveying the damage firsthand was heartbreaking. But Americares worked around the clock to help – delivering emergency medicine and supplies and providing free health care for survivors in the hardest-hit areas.

Recovery is far from over. I’ve spoken to doctors, front-line workers and families who are depending on our support to meet the urgent needs and navigate the long road ahead. That’s why we set a goal to raise $1 million before the end of the year to ensure we have the resources to help the survivors of disasters like Hurricane Melissa and other crises around the world. 

I’m humbly asking, friend: Will you please make your first donation and rush a 6X-matched gift now?

Thank you,

Raúl Pineda
