John, today marks one year since a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti – destroying hundreds of thousands of homes, schools and health care facilities. On this day, more than 340,000 children were left in urgent need of support. Our teams have worked in Haiti to address heightened food insecurity, provide vital health care services and help communities rebuild. But responding to disasters of this magnitude takes years, not months. And unfortunately, new crises are threatening children’s futures every day – not only in Haiti, but around the world. That’s why this incredible opportunity couldn’t have come at a better moment: To ensure children around the world get the support they urgently need, a generous group of donors has donated to a matching gift fund which is TRIPLE-MATCHING every gift for the next 48 hours or until our $300,000 match fund is exhausted. Will you rush a donation now to have it TRIPLED for children facing natural disasters, poverty and other hardships? Your triple-matched gift will help babies like ten-month-old Wood* get the support they need to grow up healthy, educated and safe. Shortly after the earthquake, Wood’s mother began visiting one of the clinics supported by Save the Children’s Emergency Health Unit. There, she received a dignity kit filled with essential supplies, as well as vaccinations and check-ups for Wood. This sort of long-term care is part of Save the Children’s global efforts to provide both immediate lifesaving resources as well as long-term support to ensure children’s rights and futures are protected. Your generosity makes all this possible, John — and today, it could go three times as far.
Thank you for all you do to create change for children that lasts a lifetime. Save the Children |
