Dear John,

Today is #GivingTuesdayNow, a day of giving and unity to support organizations
like ours that are working tirelessly to help people around the world who are
vulnerable to the coronavirus pandemic.

This global health crisis and a moratorium on resettlement have made it even
more challenging for refugee families who are stuck in dangerously crowded camps
– or who don't have a place to stay at all – to support and protect themselves.
Social distancing is impossible in these conditions, leaving many refugees
particularly susceptible to the spread of the virus.

HIAS is committed to helping refugees and asylum seekers around the world in
their quest for safety and freedom, so we’ve set a goal to raise $50,000 by
midnight to support our efforts to provide them with cash assistance, emotional
support, and measures to keep women and girls safe from sexual and gender-based
violence. We know this is a difficult time for so many people, but if you’re
able to make a gift today, it would be invaluable to the refugees and asylum
seekers relying on HIAS to get them through a period of unprecedented
difficulty:

John, we understand this is a difficult time for so many people.
If you’re able to, please make a gift of $18 today – so we
can continue providing lifesaving assistance to refugees and asylum seekers
around the world.

who have lost their jobs with cash-based assistance – so they can afford the
essential supplies they need most. We’re also working with local supermarkets
and volunteer networks to help provide food to refugees. And for those who rely
on our essential services such as legal aid or counseling, we’re reaching out to
refugees to let them know we’re still here to help.

HIAS will always support the refugees and asylum seekers who need us most. Now
more than ever, your support is tremendously helpful to the work we do. We hope
you’ll help us continue this lifesaving work by pitching in today.

Please, if you can, will you make a contribution of $18
today to help us provide refugees and asylum seekers with crucial resources
during the coronavirus pandemic?

We’re beyond grateful for your support – thank you.

Sincerely,

Mark Hetfield
President & CEO
