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 Ethiopia, to survive, recover, and rebuild their lives.
Right now, Ethiopia has the second highest number of people who are in need of humanitarian aid, second only to Yemen. I'm sure you've seen in the news that there has been an intense bout of conflict in the Tigray region since early November. This deadly, volatile conflict comes at a particularly delicate time: climate change, the biggest locust outbreak in living memory and COVID-19 are driving up the number of people in need to the second highest in the world.
Families are facing life-threatening levels of food insecurity heightened by growing economic turmoil — and children are particularly vulnerable to the long-term effects of malnutrition.
The escalating conflict and compounding crises in places like Ethiopia and other countries around the world must be met with escalating 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 »
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

All new monthly gifts will be matched for the first 12 months up to $25,000 until April 1, 2021. |
