Dear John,
In November 2015, we went to the Greek island of Lesvos to help some of the hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees who had risked their lives to cross the Aegean Sea.
As we looked at the thousands of life vests strewn across the beach, we thought back to an upcycling class Zoë took, and the vision for Zoë Bands was born.
By using the vests as source material, we could help clean up the beaches and bring a tangible connection to a crisis that felt a world away to our friends and families.
We could employ Greek seamstresses to make the bands and get help from local shops — all in an effort to support refugee children and their families. And we decided to partner with the IRC because they are leaders in providing refugee families with emergency aid, protection, job training and psychosocial support — in Greece and around the world.

John, we believe the refugee crisis is the issue of our time and a test of our capacity to love and support one another.
When you donate $55 or more to the IRC today, we'll send you a free, limited edition Zoë band to say thanks — and to help spread awareness for this important work.
Thanks so much for your support.
Xander & Zoë
Founders of When We Band Together |
