John,

Every day, families around the world face unimaginable hardship. And every day, because of people like you, the International Rescue Committee is there—helping turn despair into hope.

In 2025, your compassion helped deliver life changing care to children, safety to families forced to flee, and a path forward for people rebuilding after crisis.

These good news stories may not always make headlines, but they are at the heart of our work.

See a few of the moments that warmed our hearts and reminded us that compassion and humanity are still all around »

🚲 From women in Burkina Faso riding bikes together to claim space, strength and equality…

🩺 To IRC mobile medical teams reaching people in some of the world’s most remote locations…

💛 To children caught in crisis finding spaces to heal and feel safe again…


Each of these moments is a reminder of what’s possible because people like you choose to care.

As we move into 2026, we're so grateful to have you with us. Thank you for helping people survive, recover and rebuild their lives.
