Dear John,

We hope this email finds you safe and connected to your loved ones. As we work
hard to help the refugees around the world who need our support, we'd like to
give you an update on the situation for refugees and asylum seekers in Israel.

Refugees and asylum seekers in Israel are struggling: An estimated 90% of
asylum-seeker adults have lost their jobs or have been forced into unpaid leave.
Without income, unemployment benefits or national health insurance, asylum
seekers are in serious danger of becoming homeless.

Right now, HIAS Israel is working to make sure asylum seekers and refugees who
have lost their jobs can access vital assistance. In the meantime, many are in
need of support to stay fed and housed until they can get back to work. This
lifesaving work has never been more critical. That’s why we’re asking you, if
you are able, to make a gift supporting those who have left everything behind
and now face devastating hardships:

If you can, please make a gift of $18 or more right now to
help provide lifesaving assistance to asylum seekers and refugees in Israel and
around the world.

From providing asylum seekers and refugees with critical information about
COVID-19 to advocating for their legal rights, HIAS Israel is doing everything
possible to help meet their most urgent needs. Our legal teams are fighting to
ensure asylum seekers can access social security and emergency funds as they
face devastating financial hardships.

Even in the most challenging times, HIAS will never back down from providing
asylum seekers and refugees with the crucial assistance they need to rebuild
their lives in freedom and safety. With millions around the world depending on
us for this lifesaving work, John, we hope you’ll make a
contribution today:

Please, if you are able, make a contribution of $18 or
more right now to make sure asylum seekers and refugees can build new lives free
from violence and persecution during this difficult time.

refugees.
