Families in places like Syria and Yemen are struggling to survive. Make a gift now »
 
 
John,

As we prepare for Thanksgiving this year, we may be asking ourselves questions like: "How should I prepare the turkey?" and "How many people can I safely invite over this year?"

But during this season of gratitude for us, families in some of the world's toughest places are asking something very different: "How can I protect my loved ones from COVID-19 — on top of war and a food crisis? How can I keep my children healthy in a crowded refugee camp?"

This holiday season, you can help families who have been affected by conflict and COVID-19. Donate now to support our life-changing work worldwide. »
 
 
 
 
John, as COVID-19 continues to spread, refugees and displaced people are especially vulnerable. Many families who have fled their homes are living in crowded camps and finding social distancing impossible. And in crisis-affected contexts, a lack of testing keeps responders in the dark about the real spread of the disease.

This holiday season, you have the chance to give a gift that can help protect refugees and displaced people from COVID-19 and its fallout, as we continue our lifesaving work worldwide: These supplies are urgently needed in places like Syria, where we are working to stop the spread of the coronavirus. With your support, the IRC can provide essential protective gear, clean water and sanitation services, and information about COVID-19 symptoms and prevention. Around the world, we're training health workers, deploying mobile medical teams, supporting health facilities and providing other critical support where it is needed most.
 
 
 
 
Together, we can make this season a little safer... a little healthier... and a little more hopeful for refugee families around the world.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
