Dear John,

This week, we reached out to you about our campaign to raise $125,000 during the
High Holidays in support of refugees and asylum seekers. Today, I’d like to
share exactly why this goal is so important:

1. There are at least 79.5 million forcibly displaced people around the world —
the highest in recorded history. And this year, the crisis has grown worse
as unprecedented challenges from the pandemic have compounded existing
hardships for refugees and asylum seekers.
2. But as the refugee crisis balloons in numbers, the Trump administration has
enacted legal changes to prevent refugees from finding safety in the United
States, leaving many displaced families without access to adequate food,
medical care, or other vital resources — and they urgently need our help.
3. This is why our High Holidays match is so important: Before tomorrow’s
deadline, every gift you make will be DOUBLED to fuel our life-changing
programs and help refugees build new lives in freedom and safety, throughout
the pandemic and beyond.

Every day during this global health crisis, HIAS has worked to make sure
refugees and asylum seekers can build new lives in safety and freedom. But with just over 24 hours until our match expires, we’re still falling
$20,272 short, and we’re counting on your generous support to help us reach our
goal.

Please, donate $18 or more to have your gift doubled
toward helping refugees and asylum seekers in their quest for freedom from
violence.

welcome the stranger. Our teams are on the ground in 16 countries, providing
legal aid, resettlement assistance, cash-based support, and other vital services
to help refugees and asylum seekers find safety, freedom, and dignity.

But our urgent work with refugees isn’t possible without you. So today, we’re
asking you to make a donation in honor of the High Holidays and have every
dollar DOUBLED for those escaping violence and danger.

Make a contribution of $18 or more today – every dollar
will go twice as far during the High Holidays in support of refugees and asylum
seekers around the world.
