John,

Summer is here, and it's bringing new challenges for children and families who are already facing humanitarian crises. Extreme heat and drought are worsening the child hunger crisis.

You can't control how hot or dry it gets this summer, John — but you can help us provide emergency support to children and their families facing droughts, floods and the kind of heat where it's tough to even breathe and nearly impossible to cool down.

It's 100 degrees in parts of Afghanistan this week — and families there are already facing droughts and the worst food crisis they've seen in 10 years. In Somalia, devastating droughts have affected over 80% of the country, drying up crops and water supplies — and leaving children dehydrated and facing starvation. And all over the world, as you know, brutal heat waves continue to threaten lives.

John, I know you care deeply about children and families in crisis. Can you step up with an emergency gift today to help families get the resources they need to survive this summer's extreme weather? Your first gift to the IRC will be tripled today, in support of our work worldwide.
 
Make your emergency gift [LIMITED-TIME TRIPLE MATCH] and help provide food, water and life-changing aid to children and families in crisis areas:
 
 
 
 
With temperatures increasing and droughts an ever-present threat in many crisis areas, access to nutritious food and clean drinking water can be a matter of life or death for children and their families.

Please donate today to triple your impact — and help us rush emergency food, clean water, medical care and other critical aid to families in the world's toughest places, as well as continue our life-changing programs worldwide.
 
 
 
 
John, extreme weather has the biggest impact on people already living in crisis. Too many are facing extreme conditions without adequate food, clean water and medical treatment.

During our limited-time triple match, $110 can help build a water supply system for families without access to clean water. $500 can equip 3 mobile medical clinics, helping our doctors and nurses care for people impacted by heat and extreme weather. These are just a few examples of what your support could do.
 
 
 
 
Thank you for stepping up for children and families when it matters most.
