If you were waiting to make your special year-end contribution until you could make the greatest possible impact, this is that moment.
John, it's nearing 8:30pm here in New York, and I couldn't let this year end without one last message to you.

2025 has been an immensely difficult year for many of us, but especially so for the children and families we serve in the U.S. and around the world. The need for humanitarian aid in places like Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine is tremendous, and these crises show no signs of slowing in the months ahead.

If you were waiting to make your special year-end contribution until you could make the greatest possible impact, this is that moment.

Make your end-of-year gift right away and it will immediately go five times as far to strengthen the IRC's life-changing work in crisis zones around the world: https://go.rescue.org/e/937243/donate-eoy-fy26-5X-em/dmpf4/1593372015/h/WH01CsLLno9e5edGTXvnGRfb_5LSyQ5C9CIKtAEhHII

John, leading the team here at the IRC has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Every day, I am humbled by the resilience and courage of the people we serve and the dedication and expertise of our staff members around the world.

Behind everything we do are compassionate people like you who show up for refugees and displaced families in their darkest hours. I am so grateful to know that you share my determination to reach as many people (refugees, asylum seekers, displaced children and their families...) as possible with the critical aid they so urgently need.

As we look ahead to 2026, we must recommit ourselves to this work—and make clear that we will not look away when we're needed most.

Please make a gift before midnight to 5X your impact and help us reach more of the world's most vulnerable people.

My team asked that I share this link with you → Please use this link to make your final, tax-deductible gift of 2025—and make it count 5 times over: https://go.rescue.org/e/937243/donate-eoy-fy26-5X-em/dmpf4/1593372015/h/WH01CsLLno9e5edGTXvnGRfb_5LSyQ5C9CIKtAEhHII

Warmest wishes to you and your family this new year.

Sincerely,
David
