Dear friend,
In Ukraine, this is a December like no other.
An estimated 50% of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been severely
damaged as a result of continued attacks. Frigid temperatures combined
with nationwide power outages mean that basic needs like heat, lights,
refrigeration, and running water are simply unavailable — to millions of
people whose lives are already upended by the war.
Mercy Corps team members and partners continue to deliver aid, even as
many of our staff and their families are themselves affected by
electricity and water outages.
Please take a moment to contribute your tax-deductible, year-end gift to
support Mercy Corps’ 2023 humanitarian response — in places like Ukraine
and 40+ countries worldwide.

Amid ongoing electricity outages, Mercy Corps’ partner organization team
members process new participants’ registrations by candlelight.
Right now, it’s estimated that 17.7 million people need humanitarian
assistance. This continues to be the fastest growing refugee crisis in
Europe since World War II. With more than 7.8 million Ukrainians having
left the country as refugees and at least 7 million internally displaced,
one-third of the country’s population remains displaced a full ten months
after the conflict began.
By the end of 2022, Mercy Corps and our partners will bring humanitarian
aid to more than 100,000 Ukrainians and other people in the region
affected by the war. We’re providing temporary shelter, delivering food
and household items to those unable to travel, and providing the resources
people need in order to make informed decisions about their next steps.
And during these winter months, we’re ensuring refugees have critical
cold-weather necessities.

generosity — will support our lifesaving work in places like Ukraine, and
in other communities facing crisis around the world.

Evhenii and Anna Kadygrob, with their sons Artem (green hat) and Maksim
(blue hat) stand in front of their temporary apartment.
In October, I met Evenhii and Anna Kadygrob who have been living in a
temporary apartment with their two sons since the mayor of their hometown
ordered them to evacuate. They are now receiving emergency cash assistance
from Mercy Corps, which they are using to pay for rent and winter
clothing.
We are
so grateful for the work of our teams and partners, along with the support
of our global community. As the humanitarian need around the world grows,
will you make your very first gift to Mercy Corps to help us deliver
urgently needed aid to people facing crises in Ukraine and 40+ countries.

From all of us, thank you again for continuing to show up
in this time of need. Your generosity and dedication have helped make a
difference for people who need it most.
We’ll be in touch again soon with more updates from our work in Ukraine
and around the globe.
With warm wishes for a happy holiday season,

P.S. We know you’re hearing a lot from us these days. The reason is
simple: Every dollar we raise right now helps the people we work with
protect their families and improve their lives. If you’ve already made
your gift (thank you!) or would rather not get our year-end emails,
