The kind of cold you can feel in your bones.
 
 
John: As temperatures drop, Syrian children and their families are in danger.

They are experiencing the kind of cold weather that no one should have to endure without heat and a roof over their head — particularly at night.

And this frigid winter weather is on top of what they are already facing — war, hunger and COVID-19.

John: You can't control how cold it's getting this winter, but you can help us protect refugee children and their families during this very challenging time.
 
 
 
UPDATE: A generous donor has agreed to MATCH gifts made today.

Your urgent donation — doubled today — can help us rush warm blankets, shelter, coats and other critical aid to families in the world's toughest places, as well as continue our life-changing programs worldwide.

$108 can provide 16 temporary shelters. $200 can provide coats, hats, gloves and boots. $420 can provide 150 blankets. These are just a few examples of what your support could do.
 
 
 
 
Right now in parts of Syria, for example, temperatures are dropping to near-freezing levels at night. It is the kind of cold that can make your body shake and leave your fingers feeling numb.

But in refugee and displacement camps, families don't have heat and adequate shelter to protect them from the wind and cold. They may not have warm clothes, coats and boots after having to flee their homes. They need your help, John.

Please make a gift now to help us provide critical aid where it's needed most this season.
 
 
 
 
Our work with refugees and displaced people around the world is possible because of people like you donating what they can. Thank you.
