John –
For many of us, this holiday season has been filled with joy and warmth. That's what every family deserves — celebration, peace, togetherness — but for millions of families and children in crisis zones, like Ukraine, this is a season of hardship and worry.
If there was ever a time we needed people to renew their commitment, it's right now, as temperatures continue to drop and families face freezing winter conditions. I'm grateful I'm able to announce that, for a limited time, all gifts will be 2X matched. That's why I'm personally asking you: Can you make your matched gift right now?
I've led the IRC's emergency response team in Ukraine and other crisis zones worldwide, and I've seen firsthand how your support directly helps families and children in need. Right now, millions of families are displaced and facing freezing winter conditions. With so much damage to Ukraine's power grid and infrastructure, many people are without electricity, heat and water.
John, we're so thankful that you're a part of the IRC community. Can you make an end-of-year matched gift today and provide double the support that families and children need to get by this winter?
As temperatures continue to dip well below freezing, we're scaling up our response to make sure we get winter supplies to as many families and children as possible:
- We're supplying people with blankets, sleeping bags, stoves, heaters and fuel.
- We're also providing shelter materials like PVC and plywood to help families seal holes in roofs, walls and windows to offset the cold.
- In areas where businesses still operate, we are continuing our cash distribution program to help families buy the supplies they need to survive the winter.
- None of this lifesaving work would be possible without your support, John.
We are committed to working with displaced people for as long as it takes to recover and rebuild their lives and sense of stability. That's why I'm asking supporters like you to help sustain our ongoing humanitarian work in Ukraine and around the world by making an end-of-year matched
gift today.
The IRC relies on the generosity and kindness of supporters like you. Without your support, we wouldn't be able to provide the lifesaving aid families and children need to get by during the cold winter months. This match campaign won't last long, please make your end-of-year
gift today while all donations are being 2X matched.
Grateful for you,
— Bob
