Falling short of our $300,000 goal ahead of Friday's deadline isn't an option, John – not when so many children's lives and futures are at risk.

FIRST: Millions of the world's most vulnerable children are threatened by extreme poverty, hunger, war and a lack of easy access to health care.

THEN: The coronavirus pandemic exacerbated their hardships – making food, clean water, education, medicine and health care even more difficult (if not impossible) to access.

NOW: The impacts of the ongoing pandemic continue to be devastating for children who were already in crisis – like children in refugee camps, girls who are at greater risk of violence and thousands of children forced into labor who now may never return to school.

That's why a generous group of donors is 10X MATCHING ALL DONATIONS up to our $300,000 goal to ensure as many children as possible get the support they need to grow up healthy, educated and safe from harm. But this opportunity expires at midnight on Friday, so please, before it's too late:

Please make an immediate donation to have your gift go TEN TIMES as far toward critical resources and care for millions of vulnerable children – from nutritious food and clean water to education programs to protection from harm.

Thank you so much for your generous support. Every bit of it helps create change that lasts a lifetime for children, and we're so grateful.
