John, as millions of children in Afghanistan and around the world face compounding hardships like conflict, hunger, poverty and natural disasters, we cannot afford to waste this opportunity to have your gift 3x matched up to our $300,000 goal, provided by a generous group of donors. But tomorrow’s deadline is quickly approaching, and here’s what we found when we pulled your match record:

Last year, increased political instability threw Afghanistan into turmoil, threatening the rights and futures of millions of children – especially girls like Sharara*. And just two months ago, a devastating earthquake struck – making a bad situation even worse as it destroyed the homes and businesses of families that were already suffering.

When conflict broke out in their village, 10-year-old Sharara and her family were forced to flee their home. They rented a house in a nearby town, but were evicted due to their lack of ability to pay rent. The landlord offered to buy one of Sharara’s siblings to cover the rent, but her parents refused. Thanks to the support of this community, Save the Children provided Sharara’s family with cash transfers so they could buy food and clothes, and Sharara’s father said he felt like a father again.

Children like Sharara – who are facing compounding crises like conflict, poverty and disaster all over the world – urgently need all the support you can send them. And right now, your gift can go three times as far toward lifesaving resources and care.

Please, before this triple-match expires tomorrow or our $300,000 match pool is exhausted, will you rush a donation to help children in crisis get the immediate and long-term support they need to have hope for a brighter future?

Thank you for everything you do to create change that lasts a lifetime for the children who need it most.
