John: Can’t sleep? Me neither.

As this turbulent year comes to a close, I can’t help but think about the children and families in Yemen who are on the brink of famine... or the displaced Syrian families who are facing the harsh winter season without a home. It’s especially difficult for them at night, John… they need blankets, coats and warm shelter.

But as I reflect on 2020, I also think about compassionate people like you who are helping to make sure the IRC is on the frontlines of these crises. With your help we are providing life-changing aids, including emergency food, medicine and shelter, to so many families whose lives have been shattered by conflict. This gives me hope. You — a part of the IRC email community, who cares deeply about refugees — give me hope.

And I’m confident that together, we can make 2021 a brighter year for refugee children and their families.

John, if you’re awake right now, can you be one of the first to donate and help kick off this critical day for refugees around the world? A generous donor has stepped up to offer an exclusive New Year’s Eve 3X match — tripling your impact.

Make your tax-deductible, New Year’s Eve donation right now through this link and it will immediately be TRIPLED. [link removed]

John, it’s important to know just how much your gift matters to refugee children and their families.

Your New Year’s Eve donation — tripled today — could help nourish 3X the children at risk for malnutrition. It could help the IRC deploy 3X the mobile medical teams to families in hard-to-reach places. It could help the IRC provide 3X the winter supplies, including warm blankets and coats.

Plain and simple: Today your gift helps even more. That’s why I’m hoping you’ll step up early with a gift that will be TRIPLED. Please make your New Year’s Eve donation right now.

Our work with refugees around the world is possible because of people like you donating what they can.

Thank you for starting your New Year’s Eve with a gift to help refugee children and their families, and best wishes for a peaceful start to the New Year.
