Hi John,

As a refugee from Sri Lanka, I have to admit there were times I felt forgotten. I didn't know if anyone cared about what my family was going through. But today, working here at the IRC, I know so many people care about refugee families like mine. And as a compassionate member of our community, I know you're one of them.

I hear from supporters every day and many of them want to know the best way to be there for children and families living through the world's worst humanitarian crises. The answer is simple: become a Rescue Partner (the name reserved for our cherished monthly donors). And the best time to join is right now.

Become a Rescue Partner today by setting up your recurring monthly donation and your first 12 gifts will be DOUBLED » (This is a limited-time opportunity, John, so it's urgent that you don't delay.)

When your impact is doubled, you'll help the IRC have even more resources available to help people — including vulnerable children — in the world's toughest places, like Yemen/Ethiopia, to survive, recover, and rebuild their lives.

Yemen tops the IRC's annual Emergency Watchlist for the third year in a row, a consequence of over five years of war and severe underfunding that has pushed the country to new lows. Despite localized agreements over the past two years, there is no sign of a political resolution to the crisis.

And all the while, children remain at the most dire risk. In the latest reports, it's estimated that more than two million Yemeni children may starve in 2021. 53% of children have experienced stunted growth due to malnutrition and their families lack access to sufficient food, clean water, and sanitation.

The unrelenting conflict and risk of famine in places like Yemen and other countries around the world must be met with unrelenting support from people like you. I hope you will sign up to be a Rescue Partner today so your first YEAR of monthly donations can make TWICE the impact » [link removed]

My request is truly personal, John. Your gift will help someone like me by ensuring the IRC's programs continue uninterrupted, today, tomorrow, and in the year to come.

Thank you in advance for becoming a Rescue Partner.

With humanity,

Shamini Sathiyaruban
