Dear John,
You'd never guess it from the big smiles on their faces now, but Basil and Denis spent most of their young years waking up in pain ... from hunger.

Every day, they watched their parents work hard -- trying to grow fruit and vegetables, taking any work they could find -- but there was never enough food. Ever. Basil and Denis were always weak, and they were often sick. Sometimes, they were so weak from having so little to eat, they couldn't even make it to school.

I know your heart breaks as much as mine when you hear stories like this. Stories of hardworking families struggling to survive ... and of children whose only holiday wish is for food.

That's why I'm writing to let you know about this special opportunity. Right now, any gift you make will be matched -- DOUBLING your impact and the number of children who will have enough to eat, like Basil and Denis. Your gift of $50 will become $100, and $100 will be matched to become $200.

The beaming smiles on Basil and Denis' faces show just what a difference you can make.

With your help, Basil and Denis' family received a cow and seeds for a vegetable garden from Heifer -- along with training so they could learn how to best use their gifts. The cow gave them protein-rich milk to drink, as well as enough to sell for steady income -- which they could then use to buy medicine, school supplies and foods like fish and beans.

Gone are the days of hunger and pain. Now, Basil and Denis have healthy meals every day, and bright futures than they or their parents could have ever dreamed of!

Not only that, but Basil and Denis' family gave their first female calf to another family, passing on the gift you gave and helping another family lift themselves out of hunger and poverty.

Give the gift of joy and hope to even more children this holiday. Your donation today will be matched, DOUBLING your impact in the fight against hunger.
