Make love a verb this Valentine’s Day

Dear John,

This year, Valentine’s Day may feel a little different.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left many of us feeling disconnected from those we love. For nearly a year, we have been unable to attend important life events, gather for holidays, or even meet with friends and neighbors for the casual moments that brighten our days.

Children are feeling the distance too. Around the world, children have been cut off from their friends, relatives, coaches and teachers.

Many children are struggling under the burden of poverty and missing out on education and health care.

That’s why this year more than ever, we need to put our love into action.

Put your love
into action today by sending a message of hope and encouragement to a
child in need.

By sending a message today — in less than a minute — you can let a child know they are not alone. You can let them know you care and remind them someone is cheering them on.

This Valentine’s Day, make love a VERB and put a smile on a child’s face.

From all of us at Save the Children, have a wonderful, love-filled Valentine’s Day.
