John, we're reaching out because this is so important. Earlier today, we sent out a message asking for your support for children in honor of World Refugee Day.
Nearly half of the world’s refugees are children, with more born into displacement every single day: children like Lana, Sebastian and Alona, who you met in our earlier email.
With more than 426 million children living in conflict zones and countless other crises threatening kids’ futures, your support is more important than ever. Please donate before World Refugee Day ends at midnight tonight to help fund critical resources and care for children around the world.

Subject: It’s World Refugee Day, John
John, children don’t decide to become refugees. It’s an impossible choice parents are forced to make to protect their kids from violence, conflict and destruction.
Every day, more and more children around the world become refugees or are born into displacement.
Alona* from Ukraine is growing up in Romania after fleeing the war with her mother and older sister at just 6 months old. Will she ever be able to return?
16-year-old Sebastian* now lives in Colombia after being forced to flee his home in Venezuela. He’s been out of school for the last four years – will he see his classroom again?
And 1-month-old Lana* is one of many babies born into displacement. Lana’s mother was pregnant with her when the war in Gaza broke out. She may never see the home where her parents dreamed of raising her – and every day, her life is at risk.
As families are forced from their homes and face other humanitarian crises like war, persecution, famine and climate crises, your support can provide critical resources and care. This World Refugee Day, please take a stand with children facing displacement and countless other humanitarian crises around the world by donating to our $100,000 fundraising goal.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we’re providing families like Alona’s with cash assistance for food and medicine, kids like Sebastian with the resources they need to learn and express themselves and babies like Lana with lifesaving medical care.
Together, we can ensure children have the resources and care to thrive, no matter what challenges they’re facing. Thank you for making a life-changing difference for children facing crises around the world.
