John: Earlier this year, escalating violence in Idlib, Syria forced hundreds of thousands of children to flee the violence of the ongoing civil war. Now, the coronavirus pandemic is threatening these children who are already struggling to grow up in horrific living conditions.

This is just one example of how children's lives are being upended around the world by war, disease and extreme poverty – but today, you have the power to provide them and children like them around the world with lifesaving support: Will you rush a donation now to help provide desperately needed resources and care to the world's most vulnerable children?

As displaced children who were already fighting for survival now battle a pandemic in overcrowded camps and shelters, our teams on the ground are doing everything they can to deliver lifesaving aid – from clean water to vital medicines to distance-learning programs.

But our efforts to help children grow up healthy, educated and safe in Syria and across the world aren't possible without the generosity of supporters like you. We’ve set a goal to raise $20,000 before midnight tonight to help children in need, but we’re still falling $13,104 short of our must-hit goal. With time running out, we need you to step up:

Make an immediate donation to support children struggling to survive unimaginable hardships around the world. Every dollar you give today will help provide lifesaving care, comfort and hope to children who couldn't need them more urgently.

Thank you for all you do. Your support makes brighter futures and lifelong change possible for children everywhere.
