John, as you read this, millions of children all over the world are suffering from hunger due to issues like conflict, climate change and poverty. And we’re fed up. Fed up with the fact that hunger robs children of their childhood. 

That’s why this news couldn’t have come at a better time: You just qualified for an opportunity to double your gift. A generous group of donors has donated to a matching gift fund which is DOUBLING every gift until our $100,000 match pool is exhausted. But this offer expires soon, and children in need are counting on your gift today:

Please, will you make a gift right now toward our $100,000 goal so twice as many children can have a healthy start to life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm?

We’re committed to doing whatever it takes to help children like 7-month-old Samera* in Afghanistan. Due to the ongoing drought and severe economic downturn, her family’s circumstances have become increasingly dire. 

Samera and her 2-year-old brother, Sultan,* are suffering from acute malnutrition, a condition affecting almost 50% of Afghanistan’s population. Parents are being forced to take desperate measures to feed their children, including withdrawing them from school and sending them to work. But thanks to supporters like you, we’re deploying mobile health teams to help provide nutritional and medical services vital for Samera’s family and many others.

Stories like Samera’s are why we do this work. They’re why this goal is so important. We’re relying on you to help us get there before this match offer expires:

So please, donate whatever you can right now to help provide children with the support they need to not only survive, but thrive. Remember, every dollar you give will be doubled to provide twice the critical resources and care to children in urgent need.

Thank you so much for all you do to help children lead healthy, safe and fulfilling lives.
