Dear John,

New Year should be a time of hope 🕊️ and excitement for the year ahead. But midwinter can be one of the hardest times for people who have been forced to flee.

Families in Ukraine and Syria are trying to rebuild their lives in damaged or destroyed homes. Refugees in Lebanon and Jordan endure cramped houses with no heating. In Afghanistan, millions have returned from Iran and Pakistan, many not by choice. At UNHCR, our hope 🕊️ this New Year and every year is simple. Our vision is a world where every person forced to flee can build a better future, but we need your help to get there.

By making a donation to UNHCR, you could provide a lifeline for people forced to flee in 2026. Your support could help in lots of other amazing ways too, from providing access to health care and legal advice, to counselling and even spaces for children in need of our help.

Help us give hope 🕊️ to families this New Year.

Thank you very much,

Monia Hassan
