John, I just wanted to make sure you saw the message we sent yesterday in honor of International Day of Families.

Millions of children and families were already struggling to survive the worst refugee crisis our world has ever seen. Then the pandemic struck – putting even more children’s lives and futures in serious, compounding jeopardy. These problems persist, and your help is urgently needed.

In the face of this crisis, we’re asking people like you – dedicated champions for children – for your immediate support. Yesterday we raised $20,968 for children in need, but I’m reaching out to you personally right now because I’m hoping you will pitch in to raise the final $4,032 we need to hit our goal

Please, will you rush a gift before midnight tonight to send critical resources and care to the world’s most vulnerable children? Every dollar will help them not only survive, but thrive.

I can’t thank you enough for being someone we can always count on to create lifelong change for the children who need it most.

Subject: Children and their families are experiencing unimaginable hardships

John, today is International Day of Families, and we’d like to take a moment to tell you about the millions of families who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, war and persecution.

The global refugee crisis is particularly dangerous for children, who make up more than half of the world’s refugees – and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to make circumstances even worse, putting children’s lives and futures at risk. Our teams are working tirelessly around the world to help children and their families access the resources they need to be healthy and safe, but this lifesaving work depends on the support of people like you, John.

We set a goal to raise $25,000 to support vulnerable children and their families on this important day, and we’re counting on you to join us before midnight: Will you rush a gift right now to give vulnerable children the resources they need to grow up healthy, educated and safe?

Too many children lack essential resources like food, clean water and medical care. Their education has been disrupted by forced flight and the pandemic. Without our immediate support, many of them will never return to school or have the chance to realize their full potential.

But with your help, we can make sure children have the resources and care they need to rise above these hardships and build the brighter futures they deserve. Please, to help ensure that every child has a chance to both survive and thrive, rush a donation right now.

Thank you for all you do to create change that lasts a lifetime for the world’s most vulnerable children. We hope you and your family enjoy this special day.
