Dear Friend,
Today, on the last day of the year, a young child in Ethiopia is falling asleep with an empty belly due to a hunger crisis brought on by devastating extreme weather, including drought.
Their parents, farmers whose animals are unable to survive, are wondering if they'll have to uproot the family and leave their home in search of new livelihoods.
Their entire community is left not knowing how they will survive today and the unpredictable year to come. The extreme weather that has wreaked havoc on their lives was exacerbated by the climate change crisis, and they don't know how they will rebuild so they can get through the next disaster.
You can help them write the next chapter of their story. You can make 2020 a year of changing – and saving – lives.
And today your support matters more than ever, because when you give before our midnight fundraising deadline, your gift will in effect be DOUBLED, thanks to a dedicated group of leadership donors. Even $10 will make a difference for these families.
Today is the last day to make a tax-deductible gift for 2019. Rush in your best gift today to help raise $3 million for families in poverty and your tax-deductible donation will be matched.
When you donate today, you're letting the world know that you're someone who stands for a world without poverty or injustice. You're showing that no matter what crises are happening around the world, each of us has the power to change lives.
Your contribution today will go to work:
- Responding to emergencies like Cyclone Idai in Southern Africa by providing survivors with clean water and shelter materials.
- Dismantling the root causes of migration that force families to flee in Central America with programs that promote sustainable livelihoods and gender equality.
- Building lasting solutions to end poverty, including teaching farmers how to leverage methods like the System of Rice Intensification to grow foods more cost-effectively and secure their businesses.
Time is running out to make your tax-deductible donation before midnight. Remember, your gift will be MATCHED to double your impact for families living in poverty >>
Thank you for helping us start this new year filled with hope for what's to come.
Warmly,
Abby Maxman
President
Oxfam America
P.S. If your year-end gift crossed this message in the mail, our apologies for this request and please accept our sincere thanks for your support of Oxfam.
