Friend, as an Angeleno, I’ll never forget January 7. I watched hurricane-force winds tear through our city after weeks of historically dry conditions. The sky turned thick with smoke. Entire neighborhoods in Altadena and Malibu were left unrecognizable — and so many families were left with almost nothing.

But thanks to our community of donors, Project HOPE was on the ground right away, and we’re still there, supporting impacted communities as they recover. Please help power our work to deliver urgent relief and lasting impact, wherever the need is greatest — in 2026 and beyond with a tax-deductible gift today.

The generosity of our supporters is how our teams can stay long after the headlines fade in places like Gaza, Jamaica, California, and around the world where families face crisis and loss.

Right now, we have just $298,612 left to raise to meet our critical year-end budget goal. And when you make your tax-deductible gift before midnight on 12/31, every dollar will be TRIPLED* for 3X the impact — for families in Los Angeles and in every corner of the world where Project HOPE is working to meet urgent needs.

When disaster strikes or conflict arises, affected communities need help rebuilding, long-term support towards recovery, and HOPE. With you by our side, our teams are able to respond as quickly as possible, adapt to the most urgent needs, and stay for the long haul.

This is what defines Project HOPE. And it’s the very definition of what’s only possible because of you. Please make your tax-deductible gift now — while every dollar is TRIPLED through our Year-End Matching Gift Challenge*.

As someone who calls California home, I’ve seen up close how devastating these crises can be — and how powerful it is when you choose to show up to help. Your support means the world to me, not just as part of Project HOPE, but as an Angeleno who’s seen the difference it makes.

With gratitude,

Chessa Latifi
Deputy Director, Emergency Preparedness & Response
