Can you make a year-end gift while all donations are being tripled?
Only hours remain to make a tax-deductible 3X-Matched gift... Please don't wait — Rush your gift now.
— David Miliband, IRC President and CEO
John, as 2022 comes to an end, I'm thinking of the ways you and the rest of the IRC community have shown up for families and children in crisis zones who've needed support the most.
We've been able to respond to ongoing crises in Ukraine, Syria, and Somalia and provide essentials like food, water, medical supplies, and direct cash payments to families and children in need.
When the Ukraine conflict erupted, we were able to dispatch our IRC teams on the ground within days to deliver life-changing aid. This type of response isn't possible without supporters like you.
My parents were refugees, just like many of the clients we serve across the world who are living through ongoing conflict. And through my work with the IRC I've seen firsthand how incredibly difficult it is to be displaced from your home, forced to rebuild elsewhere. That's why it's so important that families and children receive support as they try to survive through the unimaginable.
Right now is especially a difficult time for displaced children and families as temperatures continue to drop to record lows across the world. A year-end gift today would mean 3x the blankets, 3x the heaters, and 3x the fuel for families trying to survive the winter months.
You're an integral part of the IRC community, and we would not be able to respond to humanitarian crises without supporters like you. Now, I'm asking you to make an emergency match gift before our 3x match deadline at midnight. Can I count on you, John?
John, in this year marked by multiple unprecedented crises, you have given me hope.
In my role I have the privilege of seeing the response from IRC supporters all over the world. The numbers are impressive, but the thing that really moves me is knowing behind every gift is a personal decision to act, to care, and to truly make a difference.
