Friend,

When COVID-19 caught the world off guard, Doctors Without Borders was able to respond quickly because of our careful planning and independent funding, made possible by generous donations from our supporters.

As an organization, we’re committed to being transparent and honest with our supporters, who are a vital part of our ability to deliver medical care. That’s why I’m reaching out today to share why your donation before midnight tomorrow matters so much.

In any given year, donations pay for millions of consultations, operations, treatments, and vaccinations. In 2020, they helped us scale up our programs to respond to COVID-19, care for patients, train health workers in vital infection control measures, and launch temporary projects in outbreak hotspots, including in multiple locations here at home. And in 2021, donations will ensure our teams can adapt as conditions change and medical needs evolve.

Friend: As we look to the difficult challenges ahead in 2021, your donation will ensure we can deliver medical aid where it’s needed most. When you donate before midnight tomorrow, your 100-percent tax-deductible gift will help us care for patients in more than 70 countries.

As the world grapples with the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, our teams remain concerned about ensuring equitable access to these vaccines as well as other COVID-19 treatments and diagnostics. We will continue to advocate for access to COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, all while ensuring we continue to respond to critical areas of work that have fallen from headlines: HIV/AIDS, malaria, Ebola, tuberculosis, and so much more.

We can’t control how this pandemic will evolve or prevent every disaster from happening, but we can prepare our teams so that they’re ready to respond at a moment’s notice—and we can’t do this without the generosity of our supporters.

Friend, there’s less than 48 hours left to make your year-end gift and deliver vital health care to people around the world. Make your 100% tax-deductible gift to Doctors Without Borders before midnight tomorrow.

We couldn’t do this work without you,

Kim Goldsmith-N’Diaye
Director of Development
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières

P.S. If your year-end gift and our email have crossed paths, we sincerely thank you for your generosity!
