Friend,

So many of us have been affected by this unprecedented global health crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to overwhelm health care systems and alter daily life around the world. For some, this has meant changing routines, revising plans, and adjusting expectations. To our staff around the world, COVID-19 has been a call to action.

Staff members like Barthelemy, a Burundian refugee and crucial member of MSF’s staff in Tanzania, know first-hand the extreme sacrifices that must be made to find safety. When conflict erupted in his hometown, Barthelemy fled Burundi on a bicycle. With a handful of clothes, a mobile phone, and a bible, he cycled for five days before finally crossing the border into Tanzania. After more than two months, he arrived at Nduta refugee camp, where MSF is the sole healthcare provider for 75,000 refugees.

Though he was forced to leave his old life behind, Barthelemy found a new purpose in Nduta: Working with MSF to provide care to others enduring the same challenges he did. Today your gift is DOUBLED to help people like Barthelemy access the quality care they need to survive.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is made up of passionate people, like Barthelemy, working to inspire hope in others and providing health care to the people who need it most.

That’s why we’re inviting you to give to our World Refugee Day match to stand with refugees and other displaced people. All gifts made by Sunday, June 20 will be MATCHED to have the most lifesaving impact in more than 70 countries.

Make your first tax-deductible gift to Doctors Without Borders before midnight on World Refugee Day to DOUBLE your impact and it could help our teams secure the resources they need—like medicine, personal protective equipment (PPE), and more—to provide lifesaving care to our patients all over the world.
