John,

In April 2020, we built something pretty unusual for a campaigning organization: a global mutual support platform where SumOfUs members everywhere could ask for and offer help in the context of the new Covid pandemic. It was kind of incredible...we were able to help hundreds of people through their toughest times, together.

It's now 20 months later. Many of us have been able to return to (or find) some kind of normal. Not everyone is so lucky.

As the months have passed, requests on the platform have just kept coming and coming. We now have almost 1000 open appeals for help from fellow SumOfUs members left in dire financial straits because of the pandemic.

Before we say goodbye to 2021, let's offer them a helping hand. We'll pool donations from our community worldwide and pass it all on to those asking for assistance. Can you chip in to give some fellow SumOfUs members a happier holiday season?

When Tom lost his business, he tried to become a gig driver for DoorDash...only to have his car break down on day 3. He couldn’t afford to fix it.

But because Tom is a SumOfUs member, he knew about our global support platform, where people can ask each other for help. So he took a leap of faith and posted his story. And John, someone like you chipped in to help him. Tom said:

“It was the greatest thing ever. I still tear up in my eyes when I think of it. This person doesn't know and will probably never meet me, but they helped me regardless. I’ll never be able to thank that person enough.”

That was in March 2020. Since then there's been hundreds of more urgent requests from people like Tom — single parents out of work, people struggling to pay their rent.

Even if you’ve never met them, these are the people that have fought with you to take on the biggest corporations in the world. You’ve worked with them to save the bees, protect human rights, and so much more.

If you can chip in just a bit today, we’ll distribute 100% of your gift to these members in need. There’s nearly 1000 requests, but we’ll do our best to send something to everyone. You can make sure your fellow SumOfUs members know they aren’t alone this holiday season:
