Dear friend, In a year filled with alarming headlines about the pandemic, climate crisis, and conflict, #GivingTuesday is a time to celebrate something hopeful: A better world is possible when we come together to support the causes we care about. Over the next few days, millions of people will experience the joy of giving. And the good news is you don’t have to wait until Tuesday! Make your early-bird #GivingTuesday gift now to help us build stronger, more resilient communities around the world. I was in Port-au-Prince with my family when I received the frantic calls from my team with the news. I returned to Nippes where we immediately began emergency response efforts. We worked through fuel shortages, floods, and aftershocks to coordinate the delivery and distribution of essential items like soap, diapers, and tarps to 15,000 people. I’ve seen the progress that’s possible with the generosity of people like you. Our response efforts continue today — we recently distributed 5,000 additional hygiene kits, and we’re working to distribute cash assistance to thousands more families.

You can help fuel our efforts in 40+ countries where we work with your first #GivingTuesday gift today. Thank you for your support during this #GivingTuesday, and every day of the year.
