John, 4-year-old Oleh* is a kindergartener in Dnipro, Ukraine – an active war zone. His school’s basement has been turned into a bomb shelter equipped with emergency kits filled with water, snacks, warm clothing and comforting toys. To reduce the children’s stress, teachers have turned evacuating into an “adventure into the cave” where they play loud music, dance and dress up as fantasy creatures. 

Like all children, Oleh is resilient. With the proper resources, care and support, he and so many others can overcome the trauma of war, disaster and other crises. That’s why we’re urgently asking for your Children’s Emergency Fund donation now to help millions of children like Oleh have the bright futures they deserve. Please, give every dollar you can.

We’re asking for your support again, John. Unfortunately, we just missed yesterday’s $500,000 Children’s Emergency Fund goal. But because this is so important to our life-saving emergency response efforts across the globe, we’re extending the deadline until midnight tonight.

As the war in Ukraine and countless other emergencies put children like Oleh at risk, we cannot afford to fall short again. Please, will you rush a gift to the Children’s Emergency Fund now to help support millions of children around the world?

Your support allows us to be there before, during and after an emergency, partnering with communities to identify and address children’s most urgent needs. 

Thank you for making this critical work possible.
