John: As refugees face a pandemic and increasing legal
restrictions around the world, our work supporting their quest for safety could
not be more important.

We know you care as deeply as we do about supporting displaced families around
the world, so we wanted to give you exclusive early access to this exciting
opportunity: In honor of Giving Tuesday, all gifts to HIAS will be matched up to $21,000!

Giving Tuesday is one of the most important days of the year for us at HIAS: It
gives us the chance to maximize the impact we can have for refugees and asylum
seekers — especially this year, because all gifts will be doubled. So John, if you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a
contribution, that time is now — when your gift will go twice as far.

Please, will you make a tax-deductible donation of $18 or
more right now — whatever you can — and have your donation DOUBLED ahead of
Giving Tuesday? Your contribution today will make twice the impact to help
refugees and asylum seekers build new lives in safety and freedom.

This match is a special one: It’s sponsored by the Hammer Family, in memory of
Jeanette and Dr. Alexander Hammer.

An immigrant himself, Alex came to the United States in 1938 after the Nazi
regime took power, leaving behind his family in Hungary and an assistant
professorship in mechanical engineering in Czechoslovakia. In the U.S., he met
Jeanette, the daughter of Hungarian immigrants, and together they raised a
family while Alex enjoyed a distinguished career. In his time at the U.S.
Department of Defense and the Army Weapons Command, he pioneered simulation
testing and technology still in use by the U.S. and its allies today.

His family remains deeply grateful for the life he was able to build thanks to
the U.S. immigration system, and they chose to give to HIAS in his honor, so
that more people fleeing violence around the world may find safety and
opportunity within our borders.

It’s generous supporters like the Hammer Family — and like you — that allow us
to fulfill our important mission. Although this year has brought new challenges
to our work, HIAS remains fully committed to safely delivering services to
refugees during the pandemic — including emergency relief, legal aid, and mental
health support. And right now, we’re developing new ways to reach refugees and
asylum seekers remotely so we can help them meet their most urgent needs.

As we continue to help displaced children and families overcome mounting
hardships in these uncertain times, we’re asking for your support to continue
this crucial work. So please, don’t miss your chance to give and have every dollar matched for
refugees ahead of Giving Tuesday:

Make a contribution of $18 or more today to take advantage
of our Giving Tuesday match a day early. Every dollar you give will be DOUBLED
toward providing the critical support refugees and asylum seekers need to escape
danger, violence, and persecution.
